John Joseph Jacobs is a jockey who was presumed killed when he fell off his horse and was trampled during the Jock-Off 2000. It is believed that his ghost is killing former jockeys who beat him in that race.
For many years, John Joseph Jacobs had been a horse jockey. His horse's name was All the Gold. He had won every single horse race that he has been in.
Unbeknownst to Jacobs, that fateful day at the Jock-Off 2000, a rival competitor, Pinky McCoy, had cut his girth. When the race came, the snip caused Jacobs to fall off of his horse and be trampled upon by his competitors, including the winner of that race, Olive Snook.
After the incident, John Joseph Jacobs died. After the race he was put in an ambulance and given 10,000 volts of electricity, miraculously bringing him back to life. However, his legs were not so lucky. So they transplanted onto him the leg bones of All the Gold. The remains of the horse were buried, in secret, by Mamma Jacobs in John Joseph Jacobs' "tomb".
Seven years after the Jock-Off 2000, Mamma Jacobs would begin taking revenge on the other competitors by dressing up as Jacobs' ghost. The first victim would be Lucas Shoemaker, who placed third in the race, and had retired to become a blacksmith. He was trampled to death just the way that Jacobs was.
The next victim would be Pinky McCoy, the very person responsible for the snip, who placed second, and who had also retired to become a bartender for McCoy's Saddle Sores Salloon for horse jockeys.
Unaware of the murders, Jacobs overhears a conversation between his mama, former jockey turned waitress Olive Snook, private investigator Emerson Cod, and Chuck about the murder of Shoemaker and decides to actually get up and see his former competitor on the roof of the Pie Hole, shortly after Olive discovers a golden horseshoe that she gave Jacobs for good luck.
Once Olive discovers that Jacobs is alive, and three feet taller than he used to be, she encourages him to get out into the world and live.
Mamma Jacobs attempts to kill Olive, once again as her son's ghost, but Olive is saved by Ned. After the attempted murder Mamma Jacobs is sent to prison by Emerson, who knocks her off her horse with a shovel. Olive also gives Jacobs her trophy and unspent winnings, both of which he happily accepts.
Otherwise, Jacob's has low blood sugar, and often eats oyster crackers to keep his blood sugar from dropping. He is also an extremely tall man at around 7-8 feet tall, with disproportionately long legs. He also spent 7 years living in the basement of his mother's home, originally because she did not want word of his survival to spread, as well as her fear of him scaring people with his size. Though he is convinced that it was his choice to stay.
