And I'm sure they do feel bad about the horses' deaths. Doesn't change the fact that they abuse horses to make a living, which is a disgrace.
How do you quantify letting the animals do what they were bred to do as 'abuse'? These are racehorses, bred with every intention of competition through running.

Have you been to the barns? Have you seen the horses? Seen their excitement and anticipation before being able to do what they love. I can't believe anyone who has been up close could seriously claim they are being abused.

Frankly, your claim that they should be euthanized at a younger age instead of letting them race is rather shocking.
