Hall was excited to take the win.
“It’s always good to win at these big shows, and this is one of the bigger ones,” he said.
“A bit of luck goes with it, but a lot of time and practice goes into it. What you put in is what you’re going to get out of it.”
Hall said his focus in the arena was on consistency – “just putting the scores together”. Muttaburra s Ben Hall, riding Jackson, took out of the Graeme Acton Memorial Open Draft on Saturday night. He is pictured with Jennie and Evan Acton. Photo: Paradise Lagoons Campdraft

Paradise Lagoons Campdraft is back on this year – albeit in a slimmed down format.
The event will run next weekend from April 15 to 18 but there will be no trade fair, major entertainment or the coveted State of Origin Campdraft.
The annual Ladies Luncheon and Sportsman Lunch have also been cancelled.
The volunteer committee decided the COVID Safe Event Management Plan would place too many restrictions on traders, exhibitors and the committee with the required cleaning stations, extra volunteers for check in process and COVID marshalls.
The event was not held last year as the committee was unable to source cattle numbers of a suitable size and age, due to the drought.
