Memphis3 1,320 Report post Posted February 21 Oh no Mark Walker hasn’t been reading this thread. He’s got Willo on one of his stead’s on Saturday. And it’s a Group 1. Should be ok it’s drawn 3 so even Willow shouldn’t stuff that up. nomates 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak Star 801 Report post Posted February 21 The last 600m was the fastest of all 1400m races on the day. And he did it quicker than all but one horse. Would suggest he cant have been that gassed..

This why so many really nice promising horses are lost to racing early in Aus . Mr Maher really shouldn't bemoan that ride when he is looking at committing a bigger crime . IMO .

A hdcp makes sense. A handicap does make sense, but the run third and you're in One Star (so far) Mile will be the weaker race this year.

Chestnut 3,218 Report post Posted February 27 I've now read through all this thread and watched replays, and I'd put Craig Williams on my horses any day and in fact he's been on them and won for me. You don't know what the horse wanted to do, or wouldn't let him do, or how it was racing out there, how it felt under him, whether it was racing easily or struggling in stages. Every trainer can say yeah I want you to do this and that.. but every other trainer has told their Jockey what they want, the only thing they don't converse with is the horses, only the Jockey can try to do that. I have no time for Maher, he's a hot head when he doesn't get the results he wants and is fairly thankless when he does.. Eustace used to do that very well. Yes I think, as someone has said, he needs to front up to owners, but just because your horse has won so many starts, it doesn't mean it's unbeatable, and sooner or later, he or she will say I'm going to do this today because that's how I feel, I've got other horses in this race that are dominating me and horses can sort out a pecking order at the start pretty quickly, which horses do sense, and he wasn't dominant, he seemed to not race smoothly at all, and class took him a long way in the end, but again to win that race he'd have to have run the fastest 1400m of the day... I'm doubtful in how he looked when he was coming back to scale. I don't think he was happy horse on the day. Future starts we might see a different horse.

Seems like a top bloke as well...... Always remember a few years ago when he gave a shout out to the dying man who was trackside in his hospital bed. Guessing he had to make a split second decision with Jimmystar..... Didn't work out, but he apoligised to connections. If he'd won we'd all be saying it was the ride of century Bimbo, Memphis3, Chestnut and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on and 150 out he was beat but he’d kept a bit in reserve. Never have an issue backing one he’s riding. I’m sure the people with Mr Brightside won’t sack him. Mind you they are normal people not high flyers. How many years back did he ride the Caulfield Cup winner Cox plate winner then the horse he was booked for won the Melbourne Cup. He was suspended. 2011?? Pam Robson and Pure Steel 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good stable to get rides for . Wonder what happened to the kiwi lad who won the Caulfield Cup for the Hayes boys ? Cory Parish won on Boom Time at big odds a few years back . seems to of disappeared ?. maybe went back Nz riding? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
