Former Leading jockey at Ellis Park caught with buzzer

[Robert Fischer]

A 1964 quarter is 90% silver, and is worth approximately $3.09 melted down.


A 2017 quarter is a blend of cheaper metals, and is worth approximately $0.04 (4 cents) melted down.


Horse Racing values both as 25 cents.

They should add a new equipment change note in the DRF like they have for 1st or 2nd time lasix: 1st time buzzer or 2nd time buzzer, LOL

How about a better, simpler symbol that would stand out because it would hardly ever appear, one for NO BUZZER?

Any connections employing a buzzer should have to get zapped with it every day for a month once caught.

It's hardly nothing, most just use 1 or 2 AA or AAA batteries, not enough voltage to do much, not like being hit with a cattle prod or something.

There used to be a jockey here nicknamed Kilowatt he carried so much juice. Rumor was that the toteboard would flash an extra time when he rode by in the post parade.

Maybe a car battery connected to the nipples while doing a backwards crab walk in the post parade.
