Although Elliott's oversight will probably not affect his winning ride, he could face disciplinary action in Kentucky, according to the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority.

The Oaks horses were under surveillance during the latter part of the week as part of the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority's effort to clamp down on cheating at the state's tracks.

"I think security matters," said Jim Gallagher, the executive director of the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority.

The Kentucky Horse Racing Authority was established.

He dissolved the former Kentucky Horse Racing Commission and instead created the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority to promote and regulate the state's horse racing industry.

The Kentucky Horse Racing Authority did not find any evidence of wrongdoing by Saez.

She was appointed to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission by Governor John Y. Brown and served from 1980 to 1983.

Lisa Underwood, executive director of the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority, said there were no rumors or suspicions about any member of the Derby field.

They are supplemented by an independent team of investigators from the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau and the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority.

This followed a decision by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission's Licensing Review Committee not to renew his license in that state.
