Came across this story on Factinate:
"Victory After Death"
In 1923, jockey Frank Hayes suffered a fatal heart attack in the midst of a race at Belmont Park in New York. His horse, named Sweet Kiss, finished first and won the race with his lifeless body still atop. Hayes became the first, and thus far, the only jockey to win a race after death. Hayes was only 35 at the time. The horse never raced again, having acquired the nickname “Sweet Kiss of Death” for the remainder of her life.

Re: Victory After Death
For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
