Glen Boss retired late last year with 90 Group one wins, including 3 Melbourne Cups. But hidden by the success was a period of severe depression and self medication that almost claimed his life.

In Episode 2, Glen recalls the most painful and devastating period of his life and how he now wants to encourage others that life is so worth living and to never give up.
