I am not saying it should be banned. I just added that as an option. I was just curious what people thought. As I said, I think at very least it is exploitative but I also enjoy the sport.

I think there can be a balance of humane treatment of animals and utilizing them for human needs (including entertainment).

I just have a hard time seeing how someone could object to horse racing as a sport, while not objecting to eating animals.  If there are cruel practices, object to the cruel practices, but if you want to ban the activity entirely, I think you have to be consistent and stop eating meat.
