Wayne Chambers (October 29, 1936 - November 18, 1999) was a jockey in American Thoroughbred horse racing best known for his success in 1963 and 1964 when he became the principal jockey for Mongo, a colt owned by Marion du Pont Scott's Montpelier Stable.
[1] A good rider on dirt or turf, Chambers' wins with Mongo included the top class event at Hialeah Park, the Widener Handicap[2] and the United Nations Handicap at Monmouth Park.
[3] However, his biggest win came in the then very important Washington D.C. International, the precursor to the Breeders' Cup World Championships.
Wayne Chambers won a riding title in 1957 at Ak-Sar-Ben Racetrack[4] and another in 1963 at Pimlico Race Course where he was up against some of the best jockeys of the day.
[6][7] In 1975 Wayne Chambers retired from racing and returned to live in his native Oklahoma where he died in 1999.
