man or woman barely capable of raising an arm for a pat. His patience, care, compassion and love for people shone through every time. He had ultimate trust in Graham Salisbury and Graham had complete faith in him. He was unflappable in and amongst crowds. Subzero blazed a trail for all horses post their racing careers. While he proved popular as a Clerk of the Course on race day, he blossomed when on the road engaging with the broader community. He was an inspiration for administrators who could see the value in establishing a sanctuary for past great racehorses at Living Legends nearby Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne. In recent years, a grey race series was set up in his honour across the Melbourne Spring Carnival and he was acknowledged by the Australian Racing Hall of Fame for outstanding contribution to the racing industry back in 2014.
