I reckon this guy put in more effort in the saddle than the one in the video above:

Frank Hayes (1888–1923) was a jockey who, on June 4, 1923,suffered a fatal heart attack in the midst of a steeplechase at Belmont Park in New York State, USA.


The accident

The thirty-five-year-old Hayes had never won a race before and in fact by profession was not actually a jockey but a horse trainer and longtime stableman.The horse, a 20-1 outsider called Sweet Kiss, was owned by Miss A.M. Frayling.Hayes apparently died somewhere in the middle of the race, but his body remained in the saddle throughout. Sweet Kiss eventually crossed the finish line, by a head with Hayes technically still atop her back, making him the first, and thus far only, jockey known to have won a race after death.

i don't agree - he was behind the front two...bling had the lead and only had to push his mount out and he would have won - 100m out and it was bling's race to lose..the american had to fetch the other horses to win.. both shocking rides though
