If it wasn't for the racing nobody would bother breeding them in the first place, so at least they have a chance. On top of that, it is no good betting on the race and then bemoaning the fact that some of them get hurt or killed. If nobody betted the race wouldn't be run. Personally I think that it is their reason for being alive in the first place so unfortunately it's just toughski. If they are hurt too badly they are put down humanely.

They are well trained, well fed, treated extremley well yet it is cruel?

Real shame about the 2 deaths, i'm sure the owners, trainer, stable hands, vets are all sad about it.
