He wasn't at the track. How can you cover for a vet without physically being there? What good to a horse is a vet NOT at the track?

At what point do you understand that had the regular vet had a vet covering for him AT THE TRACK this would have never been a story, just another broken down horse at Penn?

If I have a horse that is a bit off or has a fever what good does a vet not at the track do for me? Sure the guy he called came and put the horse down. That isnt in question. What is in question is why none of the vets including the regular, absent vet weren't on the grounds during training hours?
