A former company I worked at used Tableau heavily. It's been a couple years since I've used it, but it would absolutely work with horse racing data. It's not a way out there thought. However, it won't give you any profound answers. The tool is really good for dataset exploration and visualization. You can make some pretty neat tables and graphs. It's also good for ongoing reporting, as you simply update the dataset and the visualizations automatically update.
