Malicious was a thoroughbred race horse. Sired by the winner of the 1917 Kentucky Derby, Omar Khayyam out of Ridicule (by Black Jester), he was born in 1927 and began racing at the age of two—and didn't stop until he was thirteen years old. During that time he racked up 185 starts on virtually every race track in California as well as Mexico's Aqua Caliente race track.

Malicious is the title of a 1995 movie starring Molly Ringwald and Patrick Mc Gaw. The plot follows a star college baseball player (McGaw) who has a fling with a disturbed woman (Ringwald) who begins to stalk him. The movie made some media waves as this was the first time former teen idol Ringwald was nude in a film.
