In Part 2 Steven takes us through the running of the 1991 Melbourne Cup. He couldn’t have wished for a better 22nd birthday present.
He pays tribute to some of the great horses he rode during his stellar career, including Hong Kong champion Fairy King Prawn.
He makes special mention of a few jockeys for whom he had special admiration.
Finally he talks about the emergence of his son Lachlan as one of Victoria’s top apprentices.
Steve King fans will enjoy his trip down memory lane.
