I'm not a PETA freak, but I would argue that any sport that ends with having to put the animal down is somewhat cruel.

Well you do sound like one. First of all not every horse is put down at the end of a race. In fact those types of injuries are relatively rare compared to the number of races. What is absolutely astounding to me is that you compare it to dog fighting where every single time a dog is put down it has the chance of being killed. Blooding and maiming is the name of that game from the git go.
Oh, and I come from 200 years of racers and Cavalry officers. My ass sat a horse when I was 16 months old.
