Next I guess you won't want to take credit for this moronic post either.

Maybe if you are lending your login to others, in this case a rider, you might want to reconsider.

Then how come it appeared under your name?

Evil Twin?

Honu, is this you?

Give me a break, Andy. :p

I'm just confused.

she quoted someone else, but it didn't post right in her message...you can see the end quotes, but i guess the beginning quote part wasn't in there, so it looked like she wrote it all.

Did she also, then, write that ridiculous post about throwing people out of the track?

I'm not condoning poor behavoir by fans, but there sure is a misguided approach by way too many people who work at the track about fans' rights, and who pays to put on the show. I read an article earlier this year that jockeys should read where Derek Jeter was quoted as saying, essentially, " I have never heard of a professional athlete telling the fans how to behave. "

It wasn't meant to be taken seriously. She was just trying to show how ridiculous the suspension is. 30 days is a bit overboard, don't you think?

well i guess she wrote that one. altho she might not think it's ridiculous!

personally, i don't act like an ass--but some choose to do so, and i'd imagine they think it's just fine--and probably funny. but you can't start tossing people out because they're idiots or say idiotic things.

i think it is. i don't think that the punishment should have been any different if it was only witnessed by one person. mob rule shouldn't apply--people called to complain, they should have said 'we're aware of the situation, and it will be handled accordingly'.

I agree. Right in the gut.

I'll let her tell me whether or not she was serious but you may be right.

Do I think the suspension was too severe? Probably. But I also think Eibar Coa getting 10 days a few months ago in NY for using a horse as a weapon in an attempt to injure another rider was downright insane. Certainly that was far worse than what Molina did.

oh come on, surely you aren't saying that coas ride deserves worse punishment than kicking a horse?! i mean come on, next you'll say that stewards aren't very consistent in their rulings! why, the nerve!:rolleyes:

I have issues.....what can I say.

If you look back on page 4 Bobby Fischer posted it , somehow in a acopy and paste it was acredited to me.

I think the punishment doesnt fit the crime. I have seen trainers yank on horses on the paddock when they wont stand still to get saddled which is where everyone can see them . I have seen trainers shank the ever loving crap out of horses when they are being unruly in the paddock and I have also seen them give a knee to the guts when they didnt think anyone saw it .
I have witnessed pony people poke horses in the eye and smack them in the head when they are on the way to the gate and the race horse is trying to mount their pony . Ive seen these things at **** hole tracks like Waterford park and the Great race place Santa Anita . The jock did something that wasnt right Ill agree but he doesnt deserve this harsh of a punishment and he sure as hell doesnt desereve to be kicked in the gut buy a 1000 lb animal. That is like saying someone should have hit your mom upside the head with a baseball bat when she spanked you for picking on your lil brother or sister.

hey!


No wasn't me either !:D
ArlJim78 is reponsible for this post which has caused us so much trouble and confusion (just kidding :D ) in post #87

"Kicking a horse is not at all part of the sport and I think they had to do something to demonstrate to the public that this is ..."

boo Jim lol

well yeah it was my original post, looks like it when someone quoted it they messed up the quote notation so it appeared as regular text.

It was just fun to tease Andy about it.

I think trainers should be able to kick jockeys in the azz for a bad ride. And owners should be able to kick trainers in the **** for a bad training job.

:D

Be very, very quiet...I'm hunting wabbits.

"A phone call to track officials was not returned. Stewards have been told by the Pennsylvania Racing Commission never to comment about anything."
