Yeah right up until the point where they die a terrible death from being forced to participate in a dangerous sport.
Just because they like to race doesn't mean the racing conditions need to be life threatening.

Sure, some of what you say is true, but you can't ignore reality. If these horses weren't racing they would have all been killed, in a rather equally terrible way, many years ago.
So, on a purely philosophical level your argument can make sense. But on a utilitarian basis there really is no comparison between the glue factory and racing.
