Jockey Dream of 60-Year-Old Box Score Fan at Cahokia
Jillian Molder, an 11-year-old exercise rider from Monroe, seeks a jockey license at Cahokia Downs. She has submitted the license and is taking physical tests as Cahokia’s board of stewards review. Mrs Ibkdey, 110 pounds and 6 foot 10 inches, says she could face an age exam and potential finals after passing tests. The case raises civil rights questions about age discrimination in racing.
