Horses can be scratched (removed) from a race for a number of reasons.
These are some general reasons for a horse to be scratched as well the the indivdual (usually) responsible for each type
Scratched by the veterinarian for illness, lameness etc.
Scratched by the stewards for procedural issues or violations. They can also
scratch horses before they enter the starting gate for perceived lameness.
Scratched by the trainer for issues like the race was moved from the turf to
the dirt. Trainers will also sometimes enter horses in multiple races to optimize their chance of getting into a race...if the horse gets into both races the trainer usually scratches the horse from one or the other.

What is the name of a group of race horses?
They don't really have a name for a group of race horses as far as I know. Cause generally when racing, they compete against each other. And it's a solo race for the win. So there is no association with the other horses, like for example a team of basketball players. There is no real name for a pack of race horses or a herde of race horses, or horde of race horses..............
