Subzero (horse)

Subzero, nicknamed "Subbie" (26 September 1988 – 29 August 2020[1]), was an Australian thoroughbred racehorse that won the 1992 Melbourne Cup.

Trained by Lee Freedman and ridden by veteran jockey Greg Hall, the four-year-old revelled in the rain-affected going in the 1992 Melbourne Cup to defeat the favourite, Veandercross, and the two-miler Castletown.

[3] The win was to be Subzero's last, but his fame was assured as one of the few grey winners of the race in the post-war era.

Subsequently, the medication was sourced from the United States, and Subzero continued appearing in public.

[6][7][8] On 29 August 2020, he was euthanized at the Bendigo Equine Hospital due to the onset of heart failure.
