Anyone have a list of the 53 jockeys?

Hard to believe that 53 jockeys were caught in thoroughbred racing and got lengthy suspensions yet no one can name more than a handful?

One guy gets caught and it makes national news.

I highly doubt the Grey Rag could name the jocks "caught."

Fined $100k


"Chuck Trout, executive director of the Texas Racing Commission, used his authority under commission rule 309.67 to increase the fine against banned jockey Roman Chapa to $100,000 in connection a ruling earlier this week that handed out the maximum penalty – a five-year suspension and $25,000 fine – that stewards could apply for possession of a prohibited electrical device in a race."

Seems they could look into every race he's ever ridden at this point. He's got no one to blame but himself if they did. He's a cheater, so now everything he has ever done or will do will be suspect.

I watched that race again. Clearly some shenanigans after the finish line. Day had to be in on it. Never investigated? Pretty obvious something was handed off.

Hate the source but this certainly seems legitimate. Disturbing how they just laugh about it.

That vid is disgusting and really pisses me off. Sad and really disappointing. I would love to know how that all transpires. Did Day have one too? If he won was he to pass off his to Stevens? Was there some kind of payoff to pull off such a stunt?

I don't care how long it has been because those would be good questions to ask G.S. and P.D and Lukas. Unfortunately you would never get a straight answer and that is a shame because by coming clean they could actually help the sport.

I think you should reach out to Pat Day, Stevens and Lukas and try and get to the bottom of it. Let them know you once handed out a trophy to Paco Lopez so you know what’s going on in racing.

Tell them about how if they just came clean, it could help the sport (worst idea ever in this climate?) and would you please keep us updated on how it goes?

I think you and Alabama Stakes should launch your own investigation. Let us know how it works out, k?
