Veteran trainer Oscar Hall Sr., who trained for more than half his life, died March 3 at age 78.

Hall trained this year at Turfway Park and saddled six winners from 21 starters. Like he had in the past, he shipped in to Turfway from Suffolk Downs.

From 1976 to this year, Hall saddled 3,114 starters and won with 312 of them. He also had 362 second-place finishes and 361 third-place efforts.

Hall is survived by longtime companion, Janet Seifert; sons Oscar, Jesse, and Richard, and daughters Charlene, Dee-Dee, Kim, and Melissa

A service will be held for Hall on Friday, March 9, in the Terrace Room, 3rd Floor, at 1:00 p.m. at Turfway Park.
