LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ray York, who won the 1954 Kentucky Derby aboard Determine at age 20 and rode in a record seven consecutive decades, has died. He was 86. His longtime girlfriend, Michael McKay, said York died after a one-year struggle with pneumonia at a care facility near Bakersfield, California. York won 3,082 races and had earnings of over $14 million in a career that began in 1949. He retired in 1992 but returned to the saddle at age 66 in 2000 for one last race at Santa Anita. He finished 10th in that race.
