It's ultimately up to the racing office to make sure a horse is eligible for a race.
A trainer can enter wherever and whomever he wants. Maybe he gets fined if he enters a horse that isn't eligible. But it's the racing office's job to make sure the horses that are going to the gate are actually eligible for the race.
With that said, I don't think I can really fault the racing office in this case. All available records here in the US did not show this horse as a winner in China.
I'm pretty sure online articles don't count as official racing records, and I don't think racing office officials are required to consult the Paulick Report for every horse in the entry box.
