l think you will find that horses are not as dumb as you think they are Martyh and perhaps a visit to a stable or the races might change your view of why horses love to run and take part in races and you will also find that horse racing is one of the best attended sports in this country where many many people go to watch these races and enjoy watching these horses run.
