Likely the goal was to get the Joseph horses off the grounds as soon as possible to remove all risk. The racing commission only went so far as to scratch the horses already entered.
If his horses are truly compromised then they needn't be running in a race to be susceptible to sudden death. They could drop during morning training just as easily as they could in the afternoon. What if he took the Lord Miles Derby scratch on the chin and opted to prepare for the Preakness by working him at Churchill on Saturday morning?
Doubt CD wanted to see how that would have played out...
