The benefits can be numerous. Giving an animal a second chance is very rewarding. It also has pitfalls. Your level of skill, knowledge, experience, and judgment will all come into play if you want to be successful. Thoroughbreds are considered a 'hot' breed. This breed is usually not for beginners. That the horse was raced is another concern. What injuries has he sustained? Consider this. Thoroughbreds are bred to run. They are trained to run. It can be a challenge to convince them there are lower speeds. If you have experience with this type of training, go for it. This is not a good scenario for a green rider/trainer. One last suggestion. Racing is a demanding sport. Don't overlook a thorough vet check, including x-rays.
