Yes, guys, a jockey won a horse race? Will dead? What? Yeah?
So it's having. In nineteen twenty three, a jockey named
Frank Hayes rip. He took off on his horse Sweet
Kiss at Belmont in Long Island. Mid race. He suffered

(00:33):
a heart attack and he died, but his body stayed
in the saddle as Sweet Kiss crossed the finish line
and won the race. So even though he was dead,
I'm not laughing about him being dead. It's not funny
that he's dead. Even though he was dead, he's still
a winner and a history maker. What I want to
know is how a dead body stayed on that thing,

(00:55):
on that horse, because it looks like they grip and
with their legs to stay on a horse. You know,
if you watch a lot of horses. I don't watch
a lot of horse races, but like Kentucky Derby or whatever,
and then the only thing gotta like whip the thing
to make it run fast, and his dude's dead. I
don't know. Maybe the other horses, maybe the other horses
were dead. I don't know what happened. I don't I mean,

(01:16):
I don't know how they won this, I don't. I
don't get it. But anyway, there's there's some history for
you right there. If you ever on a I'm trying
to help you out of you ever going Jeopardy, But
