He deserves whatever he gets.

If people didn't see it, it wasn't like a heat of the moment thing he did out of instincts. He'd been off the horse for a while, and the horse was about to be unsaddled.

This was a 2yo debuter, with back-to-back gate works, who obviously has issues with the starting gate...he appeared to be caught under it for a little while. Molina probably banged into something when he acted up in the gate, and was just waiting for his chance to get a clean cheapshot in as revenge.

Don't you think there should be less tolerance for horses with gate issues. They should be scratched quicker ? They instituted tougher gate rules in England this year. Anyone know if they are meeting their expectations over there ?

You probably should have known better than to refer to her as " the TVG chick " as well.

Default Victor Molina....OHH No No No !!!



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???

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.
Very well said BTW. Everybody who knows Molina has said its hard to believe he would kick a horse,even the trainer has spoke up for him.. Molina sounded remorseful in his apology and would accept any punishment given. He knows he hurt the industry with his actions.

The penalty seems a little harsh to me , but he did do this in the public eye and so they have to " shank on him a lil harder" .

I dont think his 112 lb kick with a patent leather boot is the same as a 1200 lb horse kicking you bare chested.

I always wonder how someone charged with animal necrophilia pleads their case.
