Maybe if they started them when they were older they might have a better chance but at that young age and with the way they are kept even if they could escape racing many are so mentally f'd-up that they cannot be rehabbed and some become downright dangerous. I suppose sending them to the knackers is the kindest thing they can do for those poor beasts.
There are always the exceptions that do well and thrive but they are few and far between. Even some of the winners are mentally damaged. Seattle Slew was a nightmare to handle, quite dangerous in the end.

My wife's great grandfather got kicked and killed by a horse just before sailing from Ireland the the US. His poor wife Kate walked the last 30 miles of the Erie Canal toting a 1 year old to get to where she was going. On topic, With the large population of horse worshiping people in the country why no outcry? Is there cultural rift between the Thoroughbred v Quarter horse sets?

I think it’s all fucked, and I think Warren Buffet or Bill gates should donate a million acres for horses to live happily but that is not going to happen. Lots of horses are injured under the weight of spoilt fat chics too. But the fact remains that without jobs, they all go to China to be slaughtered.

I was listening to some Sunday show in the car yesterday and some Facebook employee was talking about the abhorrent animal abuse posted that they had to review. It’s so fucked.
But go back to Manhattan in the 19th century and horse carcasses were rotting in the streets.

i don't support horse racing and I used to spend a lot of time at saratoga. when a horse breaks down in a race it always bothered me how view people where effected in anyway.
there is no fix for horse racing except if people stop showing up. I don't think it will ever happen. people just don't care

Didn't say it made it better. Just underscoring that any "business" that relies on living being units is inherently cruel and inhumane (see slavery). Solution: ban all commercial endeavors that force living beings to perform merely for sport or entertainment. Unfortunately, that get's messy almost immediately: all the other equestrian competitions and shows, dog races/shows/fighting, cock fighting, etc.
Next on the agenda: living beings raised for food
