Tarry couldn’t scratch Flying Carpet ffs. That would be a massive unethical conflict of interest. He doesn’t own the horse someone else fecking does. So forget that story.
Trainers are just employees who are required to act in the interest of owners and the safe being of the horses, full stop.

He could not scratch without a valid reason or he would be in breach of the NHRA rules....Vet cert or change of venue or not eating up etc....
The lesson is earn your place so you don't have to pray for a place...I'm wondering how many hard luck stories end in a group 1 victories after not qualifying...the best horses get in the race every year
