In a story July 11 about the death of jockey Diane Nelson, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Nelson was 54. She was 51, according to a birthdate provided by The Jockeys’ Guild.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Diane Nelson, jockey with over 1,000 winners, dies at 51
Diane J. Nelson, a multiple graded-stakes winning jockey who rode over 1,000 winners while capitalizing on her good looks with a modeling career, has died
