Maybe if they step it up a bit, this would be a NON issue.
If a horse is (successfully) given something (like cobra venom injection on the farm before the horse ships in to race) to hide a lameness, the lameness is hidden.

How do you think the vet is supposed to identify that?

I believe the article said they were looking into 'some' vets (probably those that vet Gill's horses). Not the track vets.
