Yes, Ashley Locaz went well and well driven too. Williams drove three winners today... 

And good on him.

Punters demand perfection from drivers when their money is on the line. Unfortunately, no one told the horse, the other horses, the other drivers, the track, the starter or the stipes. It must be lonely being a driver sometimes as they have the biggest target on their back. 

Tim had a great day today, just as he has good and bad ones in the past. He will drive beaten favourites again, even All-Stars ones but I have realised over time that things going pear-shaped is normal in any given profession or anyone's life. Hell, if I stopped trying to pick a winner every time my nag ran midfield (can't say last as I would actually give up) then there is no point to anything.

A driver just needs to aim to get better each and every time they go on the track. Just like Perseverance Road does next time it races. ?

He is in a no win situation mostly, 3rd string all stars horses really doesn't help him most of the time, well done he drove well today.

was in great form today everything went his way bit in and out as a driver not like Blair and dexter well that's my opinion

I agree hunter, there some days he has absolutely shockers, and always when the dynamic duo are campaigning in Australia! But in general he gets some nice drives but it just so happens in the same races the bosses are on better animals.

Why do critics on here refer to Tim as  .... young Tim .....?

He has been a senior horseman for a very longtime and must be 30 + or nearly 30 + .

No one refers to young Dexter or young Matt or young John or you young Ben etc.

Tim is old enough to not be talked about as if he is still a junior and like all sportsman has high and low days and I think if you look at other drivers he has a lot more rungs on the ladder than many .

Just so you know Tim isn’t even 30 yet ??

yes plenty of time for him to assume "the iceman" from AGH

i look forward to aaron calling him "the cucumber" over the following weeks, months and years

I thought of one that Aaron missed the boat on.... Scott Phelan should be Phelan groovey or Phelan sleepy...or happy Phelan...come on Arron you need a few more in the mix, under the ribbon of light.

flags on the ale watching Kane sit on the cucumber lol

No, I was watching your horse run second in Sydney while your driver owned the winner of that race.

He just inserted the cucumber right up your bottle.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
