A professional gambler can be in the "business" of gambling, with no obvious "good or service" produced. That is, the IRS will accept a Schedule C filing from a professional gambler if certain conditions are satisfied, so the "good or service" requirement is not absolute.
I don't know a thing about how they handle racehorse ownership, however.
