Barrington Harvey, a fan favorite on the Northern California Fair circuit, passed away Sunday in his native Jamaica, at 62-years-old.
The cause of death was not announced
Harvey learned to be a jockey in Jamica before coming to the United States, first to the east coast before shifting to California in 1990.
He was a fixture on the NorCal fairs, twice winning the iconic Humboldt County Marathon, a 1-5/8-mile race where the horses cross the finish line four times. Harvey won the race 2010 and 2011.
He rode over 10,000 mounts, winning more than 740 races and his horses won $10 million in purses.
