The dark side of horse racing

Mr Celotto says the CPR understands from studies and its own research that about 15,000 race horses end up at the knackery every year.

This figure includes not only ex-race horses but also a surplus of foals bred for the industry, he says.

He also says a large number of young, discarded racehorses are exported for human consumption to countries such as Belgium and Japan.

"They breed them and try them out and if they're no good they get rid of them," Mr Celotto told AAP.
