The level-of-pay issue is one that would sorely need to be addressed with my hypothetical state vet idea, of course. And I agree that you can diagnose better with a horse you know (even a neophyte like me can see issues in mine/Swap's), so why not have each horse assigned to a specific vet until they change location?
Usually they have to be at the track by 10am or so. But you cant ship a horse if it is legitimately sick or lame.

Your idea sounds like socialized healthcare for horses.
