It would cost a fortune, but I guess they could conceivably make every horse have a nuclear scan once a month or so. But even if they did this, how would they decide what constitues an injury that you are not allowed to run with? If a horse has a small chip, is he allowed to run or does the chip have to be removed?
If a horse has a small tear in his tendon, is he allowed to run?
The truth of the matter is if they were really strict, every race would be a 2-3 horse field.

Exactly. Not to mention that getting every horse in training a scan once a month would be impossible logistically.
