About this reel
The reel opens with a somber tone as it recounts the day Frank Hayes, a quiet stableman, unexpectedly took part in a high-stakes race. As he rode Sweet Kiss, an underdog horse, the narrative reveals that Hayes suffered a fatal heart attack mid-race. Yet his body remained atop the galloping steed, crossing the finish line first before anyone noticed his tragic fate. The mood shifts to stunned silence and eerie fascination as the crowd comprehends what transpired. This haunting tale of an impossible victory is best suited for those who find historical oddities captivating.
