Gee,
It happens when horses flip in the gate as well.
Late scratches are most often for the protection on the bettor.
This past summer I really got screwed on a Sunday afternoon because I singled Khaliah in a pik-4 I played early in the day and she ended up running as purse money only and Chili Cat became the designated runner and ran 3rd to Khalilah who won by a football field.
I understood why they did what they did and although angry about it, trulky felt like they did what was right for the bettors with the shoe situation on Khalilah.
I know this past summer at the Spa that awful late scratch which really screwed me(once again a Kiarin horse) when I got stuck with Yankee Master and watched carnera jog.
I guess what I am saying is that those pik-3, pik-4, pik-6 incidents happen all the time, and very rarely from the wrong horse being brought over.
When a rash occurrence of these incidents occur, I'd take them more seriously.
