Yes, vet scratches to protect the horse/betting public have nothing whatsoever do do with the gate crew problems that befell the Saratoga meet a few years ago. I don't recall, for example, a single situation at the current Belmont meet where a horse was declared a non-starter because it was in the hands of the starter when the latch was sprung.
