Frank Hayes (jockey)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Hayes (1888–1923) was a jockey who, in 1923, suffered a fatal heart attack in the midst of a race at Belmont Park in New York. His horse, Sweet Kiss, finished and won the race with his lifeless body still atop[1] , making him the first, and thus far, only, jockey to win a race after death.
