Craig Williams slaughter

He did the same on Sistine angel in the 1000 guineas. I can never catch this jock. That was horrible.

His good rides are really good and but he puts in some real massive shockers from time to time.

SEA-THE-STARS wrote: never ? was disgusting if he done that on a colombian rracetrack he would be in a real quick hurry to get out of the joint agree he may need a police escort out of track today

when returning to mounting yard he would of copped a lot of abuse from on course punters and also from Moroney and connections

hope he loses the ride based on that...

I'm loading up on Maluckyday to break even

He always got a bit far back on Moudre in the spring and didn't seem to learn.  Lisa Cropp outmuscled him in a driving finish on ?  I can't remember the name of the horse?  I think it was in the SAAB Quality during the carnival a couple of years ago.  It was interesting to watch their contrasting styles.  Today on Brazilian Pulse he kissed his hand and rubbed it on her neck!  What is all that about?  However he comes across as very honest.

gee zimstar,d a hayes has kicked on,p.s i thought two of craig's rides today were poor to say the least!

The saving grace is that the horse did settle and comfortably without cover.

He should've went forward and sat outside the lead, but I don't think it would've beaten the winner anyway.

I heard Williams this morning say if he had his time again he would have gone to the lead. No sh!t Craig that's what anyone with half a brain would have done.

One  thing about you goofs  you dont just pick on low profile jockeys ,give you a few points for that.
    Williams has the 2nd best strike rate amongst Melbournes leading jockeys .   The only one ahead of him is Luke Nolan who rides for Peter  Moody  who is way ahead of every other trainer for wins.    
     There are non so great as the riders in the stand ,   with the benefit of hindsight they know exactly what every jockey should have done  .       Wake up goofs ,  the jockey makes what he thinks is the best decision at the time ,    sometimes as the race unfolds  that decision does not work out to be a good one.     I   remember a rider trailing behind the leaders coming to the home turn, no run coming so he moved away from the rail ,  no sooner had he moved out  and the leader shifted off the rail  ,  a horse coming from behind got a beautiful run through and won..    The rider that moved out because there was no run coming  said to me   ''  i  rode that terrible i should of stayed there i would have won  ''      I  said   ''   no you didnt ride it terrible ,you had no idea the leader was going to move away from the rail ''             Hindsight ,wonderful.

My form expert mate, who is Williams biggest fan, told me yesterday they were two of the worst rides he has seen. Base ride was worse than BP.  If HE said it they must have been crook. 

geez, give him a break ! everyone makes a mistake sometimes, even you armchair riders.
would be interesting to see how some of you would shape up with split second decisions to make with 5ookgs of galloping horse under you and all around you, reefing your arms out.
williams rides good races most of the time.  if he went out and goofed up every time i could see getting dirty with him, but how many of you have never made a mistake occaisonally ?

[QUOTE=hatch] I   remember a rider trailing behind the leaders coming to the home turn, no run coming so he moved away from the rail ,  no sooner had he moved out  and the leader shifted off the rail  ,  a horse coming from behind got a beautiful run through and won..    The rider that moved out because there was no run coming  said to me   ''  i  rode that terrible i should of stayed there i would have won  ''      I  said   ''   no you didnt ride it terrible ,you had no idea the leader was going to move away from the rail ''            

[QUOTE=hatch] Also  out of hundreds of rides  a jockey has some races that he or she has no luck in   exactly one would think after 100s of rides jockeys would learn not to sit 3 wide without cover either drop back and slot in or go forward its not rocket science
