Jockeys are forced to " Ride for Luck " in so many races really.
They all haven't got Winx under them .
Best Lucky rides you will see included Falika ( I was on it ). Right along the fence from a bottled up, rearward , no chance position.
In Her Time , a run came too late.   The Fav in the Geelong Cup, dream inside run from a hopeless position ( just failed )
Dame WINX . ( captains call ) doesn't have to rely on such luck usually .   She circles the whole field. WHY ?    Because she can.

Best we not forget, the most " Baked " rider of recent times.

One Craig Williams .

He has finished up on one who ran 2nd in the strongest lead up form race for the CUP carrying 58K.      One   Wall Of Fire . Drops 5K to give Craig the Melbourne Cup 2017. & put egg on many faces.
I only need Marmelo & Amelie's Star in the placings for the trifecta .     All Too Easy.      .

In his interviews he comes across as arrogant and a few racing people I’ve met, all say the same thing about him. He’s very competitive and does everything he can to help himself, but doesn’t give two hoots when it comes to helping others . Just what I’ve heard.
Total opposite to D Oliver , who would give you the clothes off his back

He parises and thanks everybody from the butt wipers to the Queens of turf.

He is definitely not arrogant.

I am known to bag him for how casual he is when he is boxed in, just shows no urgency or effort whatsoever to find a way out, he just sits there almost as if he's loving the opportunity to say he was a certainty beat.

But the guy is a first class professional, does more homework than anyone, and has a brain unlike many of them. I also have no reason to question his integrity, whereas Oliver has given us plenty of reason to question his. Even if it was his "first and last bet."

I get a feeling that Willo may not be all that well-liked by other jockeys - so when he’s boxed in they won’t yield, as opposed to a few other riders they’ll let out if theirs isn’t travelling. Could account for a lot of his bad luck.

That would be spot on. Doesn’t have many ‘friends’ that are jockeys
