wasnt it nigel twist that said that sam was the worker and that willie would try to get someone else to do it , if his dad says that tells you all you need to know , not here for long
injury/suspension free . will be down to 5lbs before the end of August without a shadow of doubt.
forget all the nonsense about strength in the saddle and finished article references they mean nothing in the short term.
the fact is he's getting LOTS of rides everyday and this is because of one thing and one thing only the 7lbs.
trainers are clambering over themselves to book 7lbers that can ride a bit , its the sign of the times and young willie will continue to be hot property in the short term.

4 winners from 62 rides he aint on no hot jockeys lists
He is better on the flat than he is over jumps which says an awful lot! Wont be a jockey in a few years let alone a top jockey. Anyone else thinks Nigel should have just stuck with Paddy Brennan instead of letting his heart rule his head???
i think he got **** on personally and is a more polished rider
1 Ride today came last
5 booked Monday
3 Tuesday
Lets see how he gets on.............................

All the decent claimers are used by bill turner (shrewd operator).
like i the 7lbs gets him plenty of rides and often great chances. Like i said there's going to be more and more journeyman jockeys struggling for a living if this keeps up.
7lbs has become too much in difficult times and this Willie situation proves it.
Where's the loyalty to previous riders ? is it right that some mediocre nh conditional can just get full books of rides everyday just because of this 7lbs?
Of his rides today well at 10s+ Scarborough Lily stands out to me as a decent value bet .

every ride is an educuation, an apprentice can only learn and, hopefully, improve; the armchair critics don't seem to appreciate what is required.
none of you know 'the kid' and few appreciate he's a natural talent; why do you even bother yourself with personalities and characteristics?
willie carson, sir gordon richards, hayley turner took an age to get established and they weren't riding regularly as seventeen-year-olds; make allowances, you are showing yourself in the wrong light.
he'll do for me.

Jeez Bob, putting Hayley Turner in with Willie Carson and Gordon Richards
Big difference is when they were apprentices there wasn't the amount of racing there is now, hence less jockeys, hence less rides for them. Now we have jockeys on the flat(majority imop) who are utter garbage yet get plenty of mounts every day.

Gave Imperial Leader two fantastic rides last season when anyone would have struggled to keep hold of the horse, then gave a 20/1 shot a peach of a ride to win the Carlisle Bell on the flat... Fantastic jockey with a proper racing brain imo. Trainer of the future if nothing else!!

Bit of a drift but the horse looked as though it was trying late on 
Poor Willie is like the horse who finishes like a train in all his races or falls at the final fence when winning.....
Keep saying hes unlucky or one to keep an eye on next time out.....
Eventually everyone realises he is useless

He is a product of a dynasty that real class never touches. Bit like son of scu, not quite up to it, but the name gets them to a middle level.
he is not that great and does put me of a selection, but trainers think this too. H is learning but until he does progress, "i'm out" !
