![]() I don't know if any of you saw the 3rd race at Philly Park about 10 minutes ago. It was a 2 year old race and Victor Molina's horse acted up in the gate. The horse had to be scratched. Anyway, after the horse had been pulled out of the gate and scratched, Victor Molina walked up to the horse and kicked him in the stomach. I couldn't believe it. I know I'm not the only one who saw it either. TVG got a ton of e-mails about it. VM is definitely in trouble. He is probably looking at a large fine and a suspension.

![]() It was uncalled for. The horse was clearly a bad actor at the gate but he stood for the unsaddling and it was after that that the jock booted him.

![]() I am not offering a defense of Victor Molina, or those kind of actions, but I think that there is a basic hypocracy in these kinds of threads. Considering all the lousy things that go on in horse racing, and the general blind eye most of us turn to them, I'm not sure this specific situation should get everybody up in arms. I have a friend who was an exercise rider and backstretch worker, one day I asked her what she was doing that afternoon and she said " pulling manes. " When I suggested that sounded boarderline cruel she said " we do a lot of mean things to horses. "
It's a brutal game that we love....let's not pretend we're animal rights activists here. |
