Professionally, I agree entirely with the producer's decision.
What do you think?

It had nothing to do with the producer's decision. NBC didn't know what was going on until after the horse was already put down. They missed the money shot.
Once the race ended the cameras were all focused on the winner. A minute later the announcer realized a horse was down. The cameras then went to the horse and the horse trailers pull up. NBC then interviews the track doctor and the first report on the situation was the horse was euthanized.
