Blood-Horse.
An assistant starter at Zia Park has been summarily suspended and excluded from New Mexico Racing Commission grounds after being found in possession of an electrical device before the start of racing there Dec. 22.
In a ruling posted on the Association of Racing Commissioners International website, Jaime Aldavaz Jr. was also cited for disruptive behavior "interfering with the orderly conduct of this race meet." The electrical device was discovered during a search by the Lea County Drug Enforcement Agency.
Although the ruling did not describe the electrical device, such an item is generally referred to as a "buzzer." A jockey can use one in an attempt to urge a horse to run faster by delivering an electrical shock, and its use and possession are prohibited.

I don’t even think whips are necessary..... horse knows how to run and if you get a good rapport going should not need one,... Someone should shock the jockey a few times and see how he likes it.......😡

Should be lifetime suspension. IMHO.
In this day and age, shocking a horse I consider to be horse abuse.
So we allow people who abuse horses to continue to work around them? So you take away their buzzer, but abusers find other ways to abuse the horses they are priviledged to be in the company of. Naive to think otherwise.
