It really has nothing to do with the Constitution. Government is not involved, only the private sector and how they chose to allow or disallow whatever. The primary underlying reason is money. They don’t want to “offend” any current or potential “customers” by having a horse named something that would be considered “offensive” or disrespectful. The “market place” puts its own restrictions on things outside of the purview of any government constitution.
Now if the government (of the city, county, state, or federal) had made a law, ordinance etc. that prevented you from exercising that “freedom” to name your horse, cat, dog or car, something (they, government bureaucrats, etc.) deemed “offensive” THEN I would have a “figantice, hugh and series” problem with it!
All people living in the USA are 'limited' by our supreme "Law of the Land".
- We agree then, that [constitutionally speaking] at a private track, open to the public, racehorses names can be limited.
Thus, - the Constitution puts limits on people, as well as on governments.

You really think that "the private sector" can ignore our Constitutional freedoms, our Law of the Land?

Sure it does. But the marketplace itself is restricted by our Law of the Land, by our freedoms as per the Bill of Rights.

The jockey club [constitutionally speaking] can prevent you from racing a horse with an offensive name at a private track, open to the public.
