Jockey Ken Church Death | Jockey Ken Church Obituary – We are sad to announce that Jockey Ken Church has died. In an interview with Del Mar racetrack officials in California, Ken’s daughter Debbie Anderson told the public that Church was diagnosed with pneumonia a week ago at the retirement facility where he lived in Reno, Nevada, and was taken to a hospital. He contracted COVID-19 there and died. Ken Church rode over 2,000 winners during a 20-year career that included four mounts in the Kentucky Derby.
In 1946, Church got a job as an exercise rider at Woodbine in Toronto, located about 200 miles (300 kilometers) from his birthplace in Windsor, Ontario. The following year he was offered a job riding for future Hall of Fame trainer Harry Trotsek, who developed Hall of Fame jockeys Johnny Sellers and John Rotz. Ken died Monday, 13th of July 2020 at the age of 90.
