Ha!
Jokes aside, what’s the problem with the guy’s hand that would result in a felony?

clicking that link led to the article which after 20 seconds popped up a page that my virus blocker flagged but not before it automatically tried to launch something from the app store

Apparently it’s an electro-shock device which makes the horse go faster.

Nitrous oxide switch, for that boost of power..
But in this case its a electrical shock switch.

An old trick, using a shock electrode to spark the horse. At Saratoga they used to pay kids to pick them up after the jockey tossed them into the infield after crossing the finish line.

It is called a buzzer, a battery or a machine: It is a device the size of a lighter that conducts electrical current and shocks a racehorse into running faster. It is prohibited at American racetracks but has long been a part of the sport’s seamier lore.

This same guy has been caught and suspended twice before. He should be permanently banned.
