He Was Not Quite Ready

May 8, 1936

On May 8, 1936 jockey Ralph Neves fell off his mount and was trampled by several horses at Bay Meadows Race Track in California. Medical staff at the track declared Neves dead and his body was taken to a cold storage facility. During the evening, Neves apparently "revived", took a cab home and then rode again the very next day.
