You've probably never heard the name Victor Molina before, but all you Barbaro lovers won't be forgetting it anytime soon. That's because the long time jockey got pissed off when his horse Yes Yes Ohyes reared up in the starting gates during Monday's races at a Philadelphia racetrack and struck Molina in the chest. So, how does the predictably tiny jockey deal with the unruly colt? Why he hops off and gives the 2-year-old a swift kick to the belly.

The threat of knowing the horse could hurt you, if anything, got me upset," he said. "The idea that I could have got hurt, I just got mad at him. Maybe that's why I kicked him.

What do you mean "maybe" that's why you kicked him? Were there some other extenuating circumstances in your relationship that we don't know about? C'mon, don't pull this typical athlete B.S. and beat around the bush. Just be a man and admit that you blew a gasket and went haywire on an innocent animal. There's no sense in making it something it's not, the entire act was caught on tape.

The little bastard went on to say:

My chest still hurts, but that's not what hurts me most right now," he said. "It's what happened to my reputation. My record is clean and it speaks for itself.

Yeah, reputations tend to be destroyed when you treat animals like $#!+; just ask Michael Vick. Molina's penalty has yet to be revealed, but we're hoping it's more than just a simple fine or brief suspension. Hell, if it was up to us, we'd say it should be an eye for an eye. Or, actually, it should be a kick for a kick, and we recommend this big fella does the kicking:

Either that or we just ferret leg his punk ass!
