Here is just an example of the misconception of horse racing........
In Puerto Rico they euthanize race horses and it upsets people terribly. It seems that they think the U.S. sends a good portion of them to sanctuaries when they are done racing
Quote from article: "They Just Want the Horse Dead"
Unlike on the U.S. mainland, where many former racehorses are retrained for riding or sent to special refuges, the animals have few options in this U.S. Caribbean territory. Owners say caring for and feeding a losing racehorse is too expensive
