Listen Later

Frank knew he would win.  He believed that today would be his day to make history.  After all, not every aging stable boy gets the chance to become a jockey!  And with a ride named “Sweet Kiss,” how could his debut race be anything less than a win?  He was certain of it!
 
Frank did win the race that day, and he did it in a way that no jockey had ever won a race before --- or since.  And in fact, he won it in a way that will likely never be repeated.
