Not sure how I had missed this. Morine's Victory was a warrior. Wasn't he in that amzing race that Spooky Mulder ran in about 5 years ago?

Terrible he ended up there, but glad the story has a somewhat happy ending. He was a warrior on the track and ran well for years.

I feel like I bet him years ago in the slop at Belmont while he was with Allen Jerkens. Norberto Arroyo rode and he won the race, only to be DQ'd because of a bonehead move by Arroyo. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else, but I think it was him.

He was in NY in early winter. I wonder if NY is going to look into his path to a killpen. They do have a rule banning it but thus far I don't think it's been used.

I did a search on MV on DRF and it mentions that Spooky Mulder race and MV was in it. Can't find video though.

The horse won $598,000.

Morines Victory DEFINATELY raced in NY this winter...at least 2 times in 2011.
I follow NYRA everyday.

The last trainer was Neil Terraccino...a bottom feeder. No surprise.
He had Morines Victory for at least the last year.

But, the story will go..."he gave him to a friend that had a farm..."

I knew you'd remember it. I think we've talked about it before.

What a disgrace

Linny · #10 05-24-2011, 06:38 AM

Poor horse couldn't catch a break as later in life he was ridden my Maylan.

OldDog · #11 05-24-2011, 06:51 AM

This could be the next horse featured during an ATR commercial break

"This grey horse had 21 Wins and finished in the money 41 times in 78 starts, earned $598,000, and ended up in the kill pen headed for the slaughterhouse. We must take care of our own..."

Hearty kudos to Jill Marshall for giving him a new lease on life.

It was definitely Arroyo, I just don't know if I have the right horse. BTW probably remembers.
