It is possible that I misunderstood and they are only turned over if a horse breaks down.

I guess i thought that if the commission had the vet records than why hadnt i ever heard of a trainer using them to "prove" that a positive has mitigating circumstances. example. Drug X has a 72 hour withdrawl. Trainer gets a positive for it. Checks records and sees that it was given by vet further than 72 hours out. since the records are already turned in and not doctored, they would have some ammo to dispute the test. Maybe they would still be liable but would get a reduced penalty. wouldnt that be possible?
