Sinatra Duped by Mafia in Secret Race Track Scheme
A confidential House Crime Committee draft contends Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr were unwitting fronts in a racing racketeering plot tied to Berkshire Downs in Massachusetts and Copacabana in New York. Sinatra allegedly joined a track board with a $55,000 investment, later reclaiming his money. Davis faced costly racing investments and a ban while being courted by mob figures. The report notes Salvatore Rizzo linked to mob funding and Lucchese ties, with disputes delaying the full release of the findings.
