Racehorses can lose weight for several reasons, the most common being lack of calories. A racehorse burns a lot of calories and can lose weight if not fed an appropriate feed high in calories. The horse could also have internal parasites that are robbing him of key nutrients. There is also the possibility of ulcers as they tend to put the horse off his food causing weight loss.
