What the fuck are they doing to the horses that they have to be put down? When horses die in american races, its because they lost a leg either through an unfixable break they literally lost it. You can't save a horse once the leg is gone, it's just a reality. Most of these horses, they are so 'thoroughly' bred, they have weak joints and the stress of racing makes itself present.
My uncle raises racing horses and he doesn't buy/breed those weak-kneed race-fillers. Had a few that were injured and took up to 18 months getting them back in shape to spare them having be put down. Most of his horses he sells for breeding stock or riding animals once they no longer race. He's a real fucking asshole, but he couldn't put down his horses when age/illness got to them, my dad had to.
