Published on:

A 70-year-old jockey may have been allowed to win a race at Fairmount Park in Illinois even though ultimately he did not.
Race officials expressed concern as to whether other jockeys were allowing Ra Cowboy Jones, who had not won a race in decades, to stay in the lead with My Kentucky Breeze.
Fairmount has not commented officially on the investigation.
If found culpable, jockeys would likely pay a small penalty.
