This story was on the ABC nightly news at 6:30 last night. You know the media will have fun with this one. During the Derby Trail they will throw out questions like " I wonder how many Jockeys use these buzzers that don't get caught"?. Or, "could this be common practice on the race track"? You know its coming.

And they will do away with the term buzzer. Its to mild. It will now be " a high voltage shock device"

...one other thing, whatever cameras they used to spot that buzzer, I wish they would use them to show the actual races on tv. Sam Houston is the grainiest non-defined resolution of any track shown.

why just a five year ban? why are repeat violators not just shown the door?! the sport doesn't need them!! The stewards ruled that Chapa violated four rules or racing: possession of contraband, influence of race prohibited, unlawful influence on racing, and inhumane treatment of horse or Greyhound. The latest suspension is the third for Chapa for attempting to alter the outcome of a horse's performance during a race. During his first year as a jockey, Chapa was suspended for nine months in Texas for possession of contraband intended to increase or decrease the speed of his horse after he told investigators he used a nail on his horse. In 2007 he was suspended five years in New Mexico for possession of an electrical device and was reinstated on a probationary basis in May 2011 prior to completion of the suspension. reprehensible repeat behaviors. he should never be allowed back.

I guess he learned his lesson the last time he was suspended for five years, why increase it when he does the same thing?

http://www.jockeyclub.com/default.asp?section=FB&area=6 53 guys caught.... from 2000 to 2014. total number of races in that time span? 820, 114. that's one buzzer for every 15,473 races in this country. so..widespread use? doesn't look that way to me.
