There must be a certain period of time post race that these horses can be assessed.

Once the claim is dropped the potential new owner has no say in whether they want the horse or not.

Claimed horses are taken to the test barn. The Veterinarian examines the horse. If it passes the new owner takes possession. If it doesn't pass the horse is returned to it's previous trainer.

If a prospective owner wishes to take the horse regardless of the results the vet examination there is a box that can be checked on the back of the claim slip.

That is incorrect

Vic, wasn't it true that initially the rule did NOT allow for this option?

Not saying that it is common or rare. Obviously, I have no clue. But there is room for collusion.

Yes E that's correct. The "AS IS" box was added later. Some owners wished to claim females as broodmare prospects and didn't care about the post race examination. Some people wanted the horse regardless of how he traveled. I had a horse named OUTHINKEM. He was cheap but had a heart as BIG as TEXAS. He'd always walk rocky after a race. After a couple days he'd be fine. I claimed him at Pleasanton. He won for us at Fresno a few weeks later and was claimed back. Even though he was indeed on the nod after the race. I was hoping the vet wouldn't pass him. I wanted to keep him. Gary Griener got him and did OK.
