The real-life Agnes Tachyon had a torn tendon that healed back wrong (i.e. "bowed tendon"), ending his racing career permanently and prematurely.
(Genetics may also be a factor, as foals sired by Agnes Tachyon also have a tendency to have leg problems.)
IIRC the umamusume Agnes Tachyon is also implied to have some sort of degenerative disease in her legs (which becomes her central motivation for all her 'mad scientist' habits trying to research a cure), though this might be one of the retired retgoned snippets.

Pretty sure that in-game Tachyon still talks about her disease. So yeah, it's still relevant.
-Scientists who can't cure their own disease -Test their works into others -Very chaotic
So why is Caustic a horse girl?
She's more of an Okabe Rintarou than a Caustic. For one, I don't think Agnes Tachyon has used chemical warfare on anyone.
Really, when I think about it, it makes sense. Okabe's chunni persona Hououin Kyouma was more or less a front to mask the pathetic true nature of Okabe, who proceeds to start losing it during the story of Steins;Gate because of the loss of things dear to him. Agnes is the same, her mad scientist front mostly masks the fact that she doesn't want to give up running, or give in to her degenerative disease, as likely as it is going to happen. Even in this fanart, you can just see that Tachyon is just gone, bound to a wheelchair never to run again.
