'''Nicholas Hall''' is a Melbourne jockey originally from [Brisbane](/source/Brisbane), Queensland. 

==Background==
Nicholas Hall is the son of the retired jockey [Greg Hall](/source/Greg_Hall_(jockey)) who rode multiple group one winners in his career, including the:
* 1992 [Melbourne Cup](/source/Melbourne_Cup) on [Subzero](/source/Subzero_(horse)) for [Lee Freedman](/source/Lee_Freedman)
* 1992 [Cox Plate](/source/Cox_Plate) on [Super Impose](/source/Super_Impose) for [Lee Freedman](/source/Lee_Freedman). 

His grandfather Ron Hall was a jumps jockey.

Nicholas never showed an interest in riding until he was 17 and decided to try it. He was so inexperienced that the first time he tried to ride a horse, he put the saddle on backwards. 

==Riding career==

Hall quickly became one of Australia's top riders.<ref name=ARR>{{cite web|title=Australian Jockey Profiles |url=http://www.australianracingreport.com/australian_jockey_profiles.html|publisher=The Australian Racing Report|date=6 May 2013|accessdate=22 January 2014}}</ref>
