Pure muscle

            Horses are incredibly powerful creatures. Over thousands of years they have been selectively bred for various purposes, and thoroughbred racing horses are the fastest of all horses. These finely tuned animals have incredibly strong muscles, but very fine bones in the lower part of their legs also make them rather fragile creatures if not carefully managed and looked after.

Most people in the racing industry love horses. This cannot be overstated in an era when many activists try to cite cruelty to horses as a reason to ban racing. Wherever there is cruelty, then the full extent of the law must be thrown at these perpetrators. But the fact remains, most of these horses are cared for with genuine love and concern. 

The other issue is that were it not for racing, none of these horses would even exist. That is a stark reality. That's why these horses were bred in the first place.
