[Arletta]

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.

Ray Paulick reporting on Twitter that Chapa has received a jockey license at Arapahoe

Jockey Roman Chapa, suspended three times for use of illegal stimulating devices on horses (a nail in 1994, electric shocking devices in 2007 and 2015) was licensed and permitted to ride today at Arapahoe Park in Colorado. He served a five-year suspension on 2015 charge.

This guy has a rap sheet longer than my arm....he shouldn't be allowed to jockey anymore, excercise rider, hotwalker, I dont care but he is a animal abuser and a cheat, times over, the sport would be better off without him than with him....
