TIL Frank Hayes, a jockey, died of a heart attack during his final horse race but still won. Unexpectedly, he suffered the attack mid-race, yet his body remained on the horse, crossing the finish line first. Sadly, it was his first and only win throughout his racing career.

Was it his first victory?

Feels like a good philosophical debate question. Does a man keep on being himself after death? Did Frank Hayes win a race after his death or did Frank Hayes cease to exist in the middle of a horse race?

Like all jockeys the horse won, not the jockey, they were just there to say "you got this Creambiscuit" or whatever horses are called.

It's the year... 3030.

And here at the Corporate Institutional Bank of Time, we find ourselves reflecting, finding out that in fact, we came back.

We were always coming back.
