very green and free most of race..1.5L behind leader rounding bend and faded last 2f..
terrible ride smacks of nothing but the pocket talking...what exactly iyo was terrible? |
|
By:
Of course it was green and a little difficult to handle , he tried to go up the inside of the leader several times and eventually tried to pull it round the outside nearing the 2 furlong marker but couldn't. so overall a poor ride for a top class jockey imo...

William is a good rider but a bit overrated as far as WC…..there’s not many world class riders….

W/R I see you said ' so a poor ride for a top class jockey', I'm sure you seen a few bad rides on the Curragh inn your time, perhaps even from the great Lester.

Jay, very few from the great man, though I have seen plenty of shockers in recent times , just reviewing the 1972 G.N. One of the girls from my year in the I.N.S. had the 4th Mr Twomey in I think the 1973 G.N, what a party we had that night in Mullingar...

Buick has to be the most over rated flat jockey of all time.
 |
|
By:
Agreed - overrated - I'm sure when you're punting, there are jockeys AND trainers, who for sometimes fairly inexplicable reasons rarely work out for you - Buick is one of those for me - I bet him and he's nowhere, I lay him and he scoots in. Clearly capable, but that's no great advantage to my pocket.

Average racing can catch a few who are pumped up by the media….it’s ok on the turf in big races on point and shoot….

Judging by your post you need to decipher whether Buick is overrated or you're just a bad judge. No offence mate but that's how it reads  |
|
By:
Probably a bit overrated….imo
They all look good when connected to a big yard Classic example K Fallon was imo a bully type up North and quite average…wins a group 3 (could be wrong) for Ramsden pumped up by the media…wins most up North and is snapped up down South to a big yard which was full of point and shoot Obviously got the break like the rest looking back in history…… Anything else ? |

Put the top bunch of Northern riders with Appleby and you get the same outcome…..imv

Hayden - he's a good jockey and I'm a bad judge - like most jockeys, he does what he's told

Am completely at a loss to understand the criticism of William Buick. How can anybody genuinely think this man is not a top-class horseman?
|
|
By:
Opinion seems to surface when he gets beat on a fav Greenacres , as it does with most jockeys
|
|
By:
Fallon was a point & shoot jockey aswell.
|
|
By:
Just to explain the obvious, but a top class horseman shouldn't be giving up so easily, as often as he does, when a horse omes off the bridle. Punters have every right to be annoyed when it happens, and that goes for any jockey. It strikes me that there are people on here who seem to have a crystal ball and only back him when he wins.

That's why I hate Buick - haven't had a bet on him since this thread till sucked into 2 place bet on that race at Kempton - Let Saffie Osborne back up for 2nd - no questions asked - will never bet him again - another poster made that point earlier - we're not all seeing things

It's all far too subjective.
These threads get bumped with a win and bumped with a loss depending on which camp you're in. You just end up going around in circles with no conclusion except in the individual's own head. |
