CLAREMORE, Okla. (AP) – Officials say a jockey who was injured during a race at a northeastern Oklahoma track has died.
The Cherokee Nation says jockey Mario Chavez was injured Saturday at Will Rogers Downs after his horse crashed into the inside rail, throwing him to the ground.
Gunnar Enlow, whose family owns the farm where the 42-year-old Chavez worked, says Chavez was pronounced dead at the hospital on Sunday.
