Frank Hayes was an Irish horse trainer, stableman and jockey who, on 4 June 1923, at Belmont Park racetrack in Elmont, New York, won a steeplechase despite suffering a fatal heart attack in the latter part of the race. He was 22 at the time of his death. He had never won a race before, as by profession he was not a jockey but a horse trainer and stableman. He rode a horse, a 20:1 outsider called Sweet Kiss.

Hayes died in the latter part of the race and his body remained in the saddle when Sweet Kiss crossed the finish line, winning by a head, making him the first, and so far only, jockey known to have won a race after death. The horse never raced again, and it is claimed that Sweet Kiss was nicknamed
"Sweet Kiss of Death" for the rest of her life.
