Craig Williams

So it does happen ! Alas, for every such soul, there are 100 who consider themselves persecuted by the deeds of rogue jockeys.

Yes, Goodie certainly had some input that carnival.

Use your imagination a little, rusty. You apply the pressure and, yes, quite possibly McEvoy says you're not crossing me and kicks up. But what does that do? It starts to string them out in behind. You then snag back with the knowledge you've at least tried to obtain outside the lead and failed, and should have a far easier job of finding Redzel's back while being in touch with the speed.

Haha that too.

If you look at William's record, he is inclined to ride horses forward, a bit less than the average jock.

I said all this at the time. I also said that 3 wide outside Redzel was a far better option than the decision he made and the place he ended up. It's one gentle turn over the Randwick 1200m and he is a proven, on speed, pressure horse who loves a slog up top and wins with that sort of ride. He does not win with an off pace ride.

Or perhaps it could have spouted a propeller out of its arse and hovercrafted to victory right over the top of the field. Use your imagination...

There's a big difference between easing a horse in running and Reefing the bit back in his mouth. It was moronic what Williams did.
Kept going forward he may have been 3 wide on the lead. A lot better than pilling the crap out of the horse, fighting it to sit 3 wide mid field.
Dumb dumb dumb ride

     I don't think he reefed it back ,sat quietly on it looking to get in for a half furlong ,then took a stronger hold the horse resented that , but he never had a strong hold of it for long , he rode it good.

There wasn't a speed battle,cos he wusses out. If he decides to go forward, what do you think was going to happen? He was never going to be allowed to settle in front of the winner. Doesn't that leave him 3 wide no cover,after using gas for his aborted attempt to be outside leader ? There would be a lot more people howling on him in that scenario. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good whinge rusty

How is it a whinge, saying Williams is damned if he does,or damned if he doesn't?

What a ride on property. Goes out to northern Siberia instead of the inside

Anyone know his address?
