I saw this incident....the horse who Molina kicked acted up before going into the gate and got caught under the gate briefly while acting up inside of the gate.

I was kind of happy the horse was delaying the start, because I had singled the horse breaking from the far outside....but anyway, he should be fined for what he did....I thought it was a punk move....and it was caught on camera.

It was an early season 2-year-old he kicked, and not a seasoned race horse.

When I walked hots at Churchill Downs training center a few years ago, I had a 2-year-old Wild Rush filly that pretty much was more than a handful for me when she wanted to be. She stepped on my toes a couple of times, she head-butted me when I stopped at her bucket to see if she wanted a drink, on some days she'd get ignorant and take off around the same corner, almost pulling me to the ground a few times. She was always a pain in the ass to keep reasonably still while she got her bath.

I found her amusing though, and loved working around her more than the other ones. I had two others who had no personality at all...and my 4th one was a Skip Away filly who tried biting everything that walked by her stall.

Like Pais, is this reflective of what sort of mate you like in life?

If that's true, he should have no trouble in finding a suitable girl... most chicks are flat out bitches like that, so he should have a variety to choose from.

I'm in the same boat as him, though... I like to be around horses with some spunk too. Push button horses typically bore me.

Depends on what sort of game the horse likes to play. We had one that would 'fake attack' you when you went in his stall to feed him. He got a real kick out of scaring the newbies on the staff. The last horse I leased on the other hand liked to show off everytime he tried something differently and would fire off 3 big bucks while schooling because he thought he was a hot shot. That was cute, the former...not so much!
