W Buick

what have you ever ridden apart from a few fat birds ?

also surely a ban for TOTAL NON TRYING for 2nd place once he had the horse in the gap.

V V embarrassing

a) The easy winner was actually stuck behind Buick for the first half of the race. That jockey did something about it by switching.

b) The tiring leader Ex Gratia kept rolling off the rails for the last 2 furlongs. Gaps appeared, Buick did nothing, but stay rigid behind tiring leaders.

Very strange. Maybe he just froze.

he was stuck where he was last 2f..looked very unlucky but its horse racing innit.

Rico if your happy with that ride you must have rocks in your head , and it was even worse on the head on shot , he should be banned for six months for that non jigger

im embarrassed for you coming out with that.

There was nothing unlucky about it , he pulled it simple as

Obvious non-tryer

You obviously didn't watch the head-on post race. Gaps on the rails kept opening

Buick had over two furlongs to go to the rail and he refused to do so , preferring to wait for a non existent . he wants the book throwing at him

He didn't ride out for second as it would have looked even worse if he'd finished closer. He must've learnt that from Dettori.

He'll try harder in this one.

Stewards report "Following the race, William Buick reported that VERREAUX EAGLE (IRE), placed third, was denied a clear run for a sustained period inside the final furlong and a half,"

nowt said about failing to obtain etc. STINKOS

He had a chopper back in the 70s steve

A poor ride but think he could've done it better if it was bent. I'd be more disappointed that the stewards took no action when he clearly has time to ride out for second but doesn't.

a concise an accurate statement.

Stewards simply don't care at all - though they will throw the book at guys we've never heard of for not riding 200/1 shots too hard .... game is a joke .... still we have choices I suppose

Buick is mediocre at best, practically always riding the best horses, and far too often getting them beaten. Oisin obviously had issues, but he would be winning on all these horses Buick gets beaten on, so would Frankie or Colin Keane come to that. Buick is just a spoilt baby like Frankie Spencer.

Medeeyoker at best mate.

as good as any riding imo.

Certainly as good as Frankie Spencer.

A great jockey and an even better ambassador for the sport. Met him on the Curragh once and he had time for everyone young and old. A great guy and a top jockey who would and should be champion jockey but for some unsavory action by other's.
