Sounds like some sort of technicality. If anything.
But not a lie. Unless what was reported publicly wasn't true.
If the horse worked 4f in that time, how is it a lie?

The more important issue is that presumably in NY, the stewards ultimately control the entries and the "poor performance" list.
If the racing office identified a horse that was ineligible on a technicality that could easily be rectified, it would have behooved them to notify the stewards of the issue first so they could sign off on it before having the clocker make a revision.
