Nor were there interviews with an attending track veterinarian, as NBC had Saturday.

Bailey told the track veterinarian that Noble Causeway had not warmed up well and he suspected the horse was not well.

Then two minutes before post time, Amelia Airhead, the 3-5 favorite, was scratched at the starting gate by track veterinarians.

The track veterinarian goes from barn to barn as he checks the horses running that day.

No one, except those associated with the horse and two track veterinarians, seemed to notice.

He was checked by a track veterinarian and found to be uninjured.

The track veterinarian later reported that he had suffered "a low tendon injury" in his left foreleg.

After his playing days he became director of Rideau Carleton Raceway, where he was appointed track veterinarian.

The colt was backed out of the stall and examined by the track veterinarian, who decided to scratch him.

When a horse breaks through, a track veterinarian is required to perform an examination.
