The New York Times found that 24 horses a week died at American tracks, a rate much greater than in countries where drug use for hoses is severely restricted. Thousands of Thoroughbreds are bred for racing every year. What happens to the others? Unless they are lucky enough to find another career, they are disposed of, typically at a slaughterhouse the USA ships horses to Canada for slaughter.
