Resumen

Malicious (nacido en 1927) fue un caballo de carreras purasangre hijo del ganador del Derby de Kentucky de 1917, Omar Khayyam, de Ridicule (por Black Jester). Comenzó a correr a la edad de dos años y continuó compitiendo hasta que tuvo trece años de edad. Durante ese tiempo, realizó 185 salidas en prácticamente todas las pistas de carreras de California, así como en el Hipódromo Agua Caliente de México. Ganó 32 veces. Malicious era un claimer de $800. Perteneciente a la Sra. E. Turk, fue entrenado durante varios años por Lonnie Coperhaver, conocido como el "King of the Gypsies". Malicious era un corredor que solía venir de atrás para ganar. La gente empezó a llamarlo "America's Two-Mile Champion", y luego la prensa lo descubrió. Corriendo al mismo tiempo que Seabiscuit, Malicious también era el centro de admiradores. Hizo una aparición personal en la Exposición Internacional Golden Gate de San Francisco de 1939, tuvo gente promoviendo mercancía en su nombre y fue entrevistado en la radio. Para asegurar que la gente se quedara por un día completo de carreras, la pista de Santa Anita incluía una carrera de dos millas como la última del día para que Malicious corriera. Morton Cathro, un periodista retirado, escribió sobre ver a Malicious en los últimos días de su carrera: "As a teenager in the autumn of 1939, this writer witnessed a series of Saturday marathons at Bay Meadows for top routers. Old Malicious showed up for the Nov. 11 finale, the four-mile Thornton Stakes. The weary road warrior, who hadn't started since that spring at Santa Anita, made his patented late surge to gain fourth in a blanket finish. That was his final race in the U.S. On Jan. 28, 1940, at age 13, one of the toughest iron horses of all time closed out his gallant career—a marathon in itself—by running second at Agua Caliente. His final paycheck was $100; his legacy, a claimer's place in the pantheon of sound, stout-hearted stakes horses—and in the hearts of a devoted public." Malicious ganó un total de $14,755.

Notable quotes

“We are strangers to Christian love, if we harbor malice or revenge in our hearts toward any of our fellow-creatures, whatever treatment we receive at their hands.”
— Charles Backus, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 401.
“It has often been said that power corrupts. But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness.”
— Eric Hoffer, The Passionate State Of Mind, and Other Aphorisms, Section 42 (1955).
“Contre la médisance il n'est point de rempart.”
— Translation: There is no rampart that will hold out against malice.
“This swallowing up of life in nothingness, this obliteration of life by nothingness is what the emotion of malice ultimately desires. The eternal conflict between love and malice is the eternal contest between life and death. And this contest is what the complex vision reveals, as it moves from darkness to darkness.”
— John Cowper Powys, The Complex Vision, Ch. 1 (1920).
“There is no cure for ossification of the heart. Oh, that miserable state, when to the jaundiced eye all good transforms itself into evil, and the very instruments of health become the poison of disease.”
— Frederick William Robertson, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 402.
“Of all the creatures that were made he [man] is the most detestable. Of the entire brood he is the only one — the solitary one — that possesses malice. That is the basest of all instincts, passions, vices — the most hateful...He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain...Also — in all the list he is the only creature that has a nasty mind.”
— Mark Twain, Mark Twain's Autobiography, Vol. II, p. 7 (1924).
