May 18, 2008: Molly
From SonnyRadio, via Bits & Pieces.
No, Virginia, they don't always shoot horses. Sometimes the horses are very rich(valuable), or very, very lucky. Molly was the latter, in the end, but certainly not in the beginning. Quote:

Am I the only one who is tempted to see Molly dressed up as a pirate?

As long as you don't say, "Well, you can't eat a special pony all at once".

Hmmm the left photo is 'shopped on the left side, all the way to the leg with the prosthesis. Also, the sky is entirely fake. I doubt the veracity of what that photo (1 of 3) is attempting to portray, mainly that a pony wears a artificial limb. I don't doubt that such a thing is possible however.
Snopes and LSU and YouTube (2 min 15 sec) agree she is real. Last edited by Slight; 05-19-2008 at 12:16 AM. Reason: added snopes, LSU & YouTube links |

you're right, it doesn't look like it matches the other limb. hmm. (heads off to Snopes)
ETA: "true"

I don't care what they do in the hopelessly corrupt and political human Olympics:
May 2007: "An Amputee Sprinter: Is He Disabled or Too-Abled?" May 2008: "Double-Amputee Allowed To Compete for Olympic Bid / Appeals Court: No Edge Gained From Blades" Molly's bionic prosthetic will give her a 25% unfair advantage on the track , where competitors have traditionally had to get by on natural ankles. Keep horse racing untainted! |

A pony with a fake leg - there must a joke here somewhere about quarter horses vs. three-quarter horses, but I'm at a loss.

But it's okay, because the track operators will be able to tell she's bionic-enhanced when her leg gives off that bionic sound effect.

I'm wondering what the implications here are for a case like Barbaro ... If they'd amputated and fitted a prosthetic, would he still have been eligible for stud?

They don't need a living horse for stud, only a formerly living one. Semen is often collected from big money animals and sold for years. It's quite a business.

Ya cant use AI for registered thoroughbreds. They have to be stood to stud using natural insemination.
