Strange but true
11 years 3 months ago - 11 years 3 months ago
This horse only ever won one race.
In 1923 at Belmont Park the jockey Frank Hayes was found to be dead in the saddle. He died of a heart attackduring the race but since he remained in the saddle the horse kept the race.
Making him the only dead jockey to ever win a race.
