Seems a long time ago but in the early days both Hall and, while he was there, Mathieu Tresarrieu both rode the boards for wins when others wouldn't. Hall getting 17 once from 6 rides and not all from the gate. Sometimes when a rider attacked it the track did have more to give. All lot of the better times in the old prem were when the track was how the riders wanted it which didn't produce great racing but not everyone moaned seeing wins.
