One day you're on top of the world (or more accurately a horse) living out your dreams after once in a lifetime opportunity - literally. Then, the next moment your dead.... Hard to believe, but that was reality for Frank Hayes, the world record holder for the one person to win a horse race posthumously.

Frank's story is definitely wild, one that involves extreme weight loss, a heart attack, and potatoes. But the episode is even wilder, if you can believe that.

So saddle up, grab a copy of 1984, and get your affairs in order as we travel back to the 1920s to relive the life and death of Frank Hayes on our journey to find the wildest story from the world of sport.
