Horse Racing question: what happens to a "famous" horse when it dies?

I honestly don't know.
Do the owners sometimes get a gigantic coffin and bury the horse?
Taxidermy?
Fertilizer plant?
Simply dig a pit and drop them in?

Perhaps this is the case:

What do they do with when it's done racing?
Does it get treated better than the other horses?

That's usually what's done. Interesting fact, Secretariat was buried whole as a special honor.

I've heard that a tradition is that they they bury a horse upside down. Something to do with John Wayne. At least, that is what some girl I used to know that owned a horse told me.

depend. 90% of the time they bury the head, heart and hoof. on rare occasions, i.e a triple crown winner or something they will bury the horse whole

A classmate of mine had cardiomegaly. Oddly, he couldn't run very well. His sister had kind of a horse face though.
