On June 5, 1907, Jimmy Lee won every race on the card at Churchill Downs. "Black Star Shines, Jockey Lee Rides Six Winners" was the half-inch headline in the Louisville Times the next day. He continued his winning ways at Latonia and New Orleans before injuries curtailed his career. The May 15, 1915, Thoroughbred Record recorded his death at age 28. "Report has it that Lee was penniless when he died, although he had won a small fortune during his career on the turf."
