None, you are way off there are 40,000 thoroughbreds born a year at a cost of $10K to millions each in value.

It costs about $3,000 a month to train a race horse and they are treated like kings & queens.

When their racing career is over the mares go to breed, the better colts stud.

The rest become riding horses in various capacities.

They are NOT slaughtering 100,000 that is a miss statement of facts.
