The daughter of Hall of Fame jockey Jose Santos was sentenced to three to nine years in prison for vehicular homicide, drunken driving and other charges.
Sophia Santos was sentenced Wednesday in Long Island's Nassau County Court. She pleaded guilty last month.
Prosecutors said Santos had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit in November 2007 when she ran a red light and plowed into a car at an intersection in Levittown, N.Y.
The accident killed Virginia Casazza Urgo and injured three others.
Santos's father rode Funny Cide to victories in the 2003 Kentucky Derby and the Preakness.
