I'm pretty certain the reason why they did not find anything wrong with the surface is because the damage was already done to some of these horses long ago from either racing or training on a sealed surface. It is like running on concrete with legs built like broomsticks, with little rest in-between, or at least a break from running on such a hard surface. It more likely caused micro-fractures, which led to the undoing on most of these horses. I made this chart (attachment below) to show the correlation:
