In part 2 Greg pays tribute to a horse he loved - the tough and aggressive Zeditave, winner of 14 from 17. Hall rode him in 11 of those wins.
He fondly remembers his old favourite Subzero - the horse to give him his only Melbourne Cup success.
He delights in telling the story about his one and only ride on the wonderful Super Impose. Together they won the “rough house” Cox Plate of 1992.
He talks with great affection of his favourite horse Mahogany. He rode the versatile horse in 34 of 43 starts for 17 wins, including 7 Group 1’s.
Greg pays his respects to Durbridge who gave him an AJC Derby win.
He reflects on two Golden Slipper wins. One of them resulted in a 2 month suspension and a record $50,000 fine.
And perhaps the best Greg Hall story of all. His Sydney Cup win on Major Drive, part owned by Kerry Packer.
As he moved into the barrier he had no idea Packer had plunged 7 million dollars on the 3 year old Myocard. This man has some amazing tales of the turf.
