Race horse, first year. Horse is over 3 yrs old. Qualifies for 5 year. Can I use bonus depreciation as well?

Publication 946 page 24 describes what property qualifies and what would be the exception to the rule. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p946.pdf

There is nothing in the Excepted property about Livestock. It does call out that Livestock is considered Tangible Personal Property.
