Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Melt the butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove 1 tablespoon and toss with the bread crumbs in a small bowl; set aside. Add the flour to the skillet, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Blend in the water, sugar, horseradish and salt. Cook, stirring 1 minute more, and then remove from heat and stir in beets.
