On June 4, 1923, at Belmont Park in New York, one of the most absurd stories ever recorded in horse racing unfolded.
Jockey Frank Hayes crossed the finish line first, but when officials approached to congratulate him, they realized he was no longer alive. He had died during the race, likely of a heart attack, but his body had remained in the saddle throughout the race, overcoming obstacles and maintaining his balance until the very end.
It was said that the cause was a combination of stress, excitement, and a drastic weight loss in the days leading up to the race, a common practice among jockeys of the time to meet the required categories. Whatever the reason, Hayes remains the only jockey to have won a race while dead, a record as incredible as it is disturbing.
The horse, Sweet Kiss, became instantly famous. No one dared to ride him again, and he ended up being remembered by a nickname that left no room for imagination: the sweet kiss of death.
I am saddened to announce that Eric Guillot passed away on June 4th. His kidneys failed to work even with dialysis. He made a conscious decision to quit all the treatments less than two weeks ago and let his body succumb to the disease. RIP
@atTheTrack7 Respectfully disagree
He was idling looking for the gap, then got knocked completely off his feet
Forward motion stopped
All bets are off at that point
He then dug in again and did put in a very good run once clear
Clear trip tomorrow
Mott not in for the season, in 4 the reason
