Victor Molina Is in Trouble

[Rupert Pupkin]

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.

I didn't see it but he deserves all he gets and then some.

He had to jump to kick the horse right?

I hate it when people pick on these brave heroes who risk their lives on a daily basis.

Are "these brave heroes" the jocks or the horses?

You certainly are a special kind of jackass. I'd like to kick you in your stomach. Or lower. See how you like it. Then you can answer your own question.

They should tie his leg in the stirup, and play Red Pollard in the shed row with his azz.

I guess I'm the only person here willing to admit I have kicked a horse in the gut for being a ass.hole.

Prior to the third at Philly yesterday Mr Molina was pinned in the gate by a frisky 2 year old of Cliff Sise's "Yes Yes OhYes" before a national audience of TVG which feeds Monday races from Philadelphia Park to a much greater live audience due to the slim pickings of Monday races.

Molina was seen kicking the horse in the stomach in response to his own jostle....

After a barrage of complaints the management at Philly Park issued an order by the head of security to remove Victor from the premises until a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

To his credit a humble and remorseful Molina offered apology to YesYes's owner and will undoubtedly seek forgiveness later today.

So does the fact that a larger audience witnessed this horrible transgression
mean that a stiffer penalty of a prolonged suspension should be handed down to this jock who seems to be a first offender by any account.......sometimes technology is our own worst enemy!!!!! What does the DT court say here on this one???
