He certainly gave the long odds on fav in the 7-05 at Haydock a poor ride.
Lets hope he learns from it. He cannot do that to may times.
Pocket not talking but I wouldn’t trust him on any short-priced runner. Unfortunately, reminds me a little of Jamie Spencer in that he appears to enjoy making the simple look complicated. At the moment he is still benefitting from the ‘boy wonder’ tag but a few more debacles like this and that will impression will surely change.
poor ride but horse was not helping lugging in behind. looked like horse was hating the ground to me
Give him a nice ban for lack of effort…….maybe 5 day ban that includes the Guineas meeting, maybe then would we see more of a effort from himself and his trainer who had a horse drift from 1/2 out to 3/1 on the exchanges only a few weeks ago and lost surprise surprise
Wasn’t best pleased with his performance all day at Haydock to be honest.He had a mare – apart from winning a 3 horse race with Nathaniel he lost on 2/5 Rainbow Springs and Piano and a Godolpin Horse.
I had quite a bit of money on both Piano in the 6pm and the Godolphin horse in the 7 0’Clock and both times there was virtually no effort from him, especially with the Godolpin horse – seemed to be giving it a ‘learning’ ride caressing its head on the way home.
He’s got another odds-on shot tomorrow night at Windsor. Miles ahead on form and very little in the way of dangers, maybe the Michael Bell colt (whose horses have been needing the run), but dare I trust him?
My double had blown out already so I had no financial interest in Point North this evening whatsoever, but what an absymal ride by Buick. He rode a shocker on Suhaili the other day and the horse got him out of trouble. Didn’t help Rio Grande at all the other day either.
Fast becoming a jockey to avoid for myself as well as Jamie Spencer.
What was he doing tonight at Sandown in the 8.10. No way would he have won but my word that was a terrible effort. Imagine panicking like that in a big race. Unbelievable
Didn’t he ride the St Leger winner last year?
I mean seriously, what a rubbish jockey.
I think that he has made the odd mistake this year but then again which jockey hasn’t.
I think that there is an element of being overly critical here, in my opinion. I can see little wrong in his ride at Sandown tonight, he merely manouvered the horse out to find running room. Now granted he was pushed out slightly on the bend, but you can lose more ground by having no running room , snatching up and switching. Just ask Messrs Hughes and Fallon.
They all make occaisional mistakes and such decisions are often split second onesSo because he wins a Classic he instantly becomes good? All jockeys are capable of putting in good rides and he does put in good rides occasionally, just like Jamie Spencer does. I’d just rather they weren’t on horses I back.
Certainly agree about Emma’s ex, although to be fair he seems to be riding better thsi season.
Think criticism of William Buick slightly harsh but he’s certainly not the genuius in the sadlle that the press and media suggest he is and he is a bloody awful pundit / interviewee.
Best 10 Flat jockey’s riding (regularly or otherwise) in England for me are:-
Ryan Moore
Frankie
Richard Hughes
Keiren `Crown Court’ Fallon
Paul Hanagan
Tom Queally
George Baker
Silvestre De Souza
Adrian Nicholls
Jonny MurtaghSo because he wins a Classic he instantly becomes good? All jockeys are capable of putting in good rides and he does put in good rides occasionally, just like Jamie Spencer does. I’d just rather they weren’t on horses I back.
No, but I don’t think consistently bad jockeys get rides in Classics either (or if they do they shouldn’t)
I can’t really be reasonable on this subject because I don’t often back horses with AP McCoy on them for the same reason you avoid Buick. And how wrong am I on that?!
