UPDATED: 30 dead horses at Santa Anita

You CLEARLY don't understand betting on horses.

When you bet on a horse to win, you think he's going to win. However, that doesn't mean computer or other handicappers would say he had a 40% chance. That number is VERY high in a 10-14 horse race.

But this thread is about DEAD horses. So. go back to the topic.

Why can't they just sedate them, put them in a trailer, take them to a vet, and have him/her fix the injury? I get that recovery is a lot harder for a horse than a human, but it has always seemed ridiculous how seemingly quick to euthanize they are. Sad.

They aren't "quick to euthanize". There are injuries that can't be fixed. Many injured horses are donated to everything from prisons to children's health programs.

But there is clearly something wrong with the track. This many catastrophic injuries shouldn't be happening. There definitely needs to be an investigation.

The glue industry has needs.

What does a prison do with an injured horse?

How does a children’s program use an injured horse?
 
Retired racehorses are sent to those programs and have been found to help people.

Obviously you have not seen the preview for The Mustang yet:

"MUSTANG tells the story of Roman Coleman, a violent convict, who is given the chance to participate in a rehabilitation therapy program involving the training of wild mustangs."

It's better than watching them suffer a dull, aching pain.

Hoofstock spend their lives standing up. Their bodies are designed to work that way. They won’t really drink or eat laying down. It’s the humane thing to do with any leg injury.
