Horse racing is quite a big industry and employs many people as there are apparently races on most days. I think some of the high profile races, like the Grand National have difficult courses which mean the horses often get injured.
I know someone who owns a racehorse with his mates ( which I think is more of sponsorship than him having any responsibility for the animal) and he says they are well looked after and have a retirement once their racing days are over.
However, some people consider using animals as entertainment to be cruel in itself.
Is it a work related event?

There was a whole Panorama on a side of it recently. Didn't really discuss why horse racing itself is cruel though

Opinion: Evidence of cruelty to race horses continues to mount – how can we justify this as ‘sport’?
Compelling video footage filmed by Animal Aid shows that so-called ‘welfare’ rules have been ignored at one of the UK’s biggest abattoirs – enough is enough
