Probably the best rider in oz,does anyone remember that ride to win the Perth cup?he was at The Valley last week but races didn't finish,where is he at the present time,I'm not following races as closely at present,for all I know he could be riding in Victoria.

Yea he's been in Victoria for the last few weeks. Is based there for the spring carnival i think,mainly to ride the Bob Peter's owned horses,but  has been picking up outside rides too,he managed to win the last at Caulfield yesterday.Good rider,tho i don't tend to back him alot,hopefully he can have a good carnival to make the move worthwhile.

It's amazing how they are still racing in Victoria but this spring carnival is gunna be a very unusual experience.

The wizard, Willie Pike.

There's a saying in Oz: "back Pike in the last." Usually heard in states on the eastern seaboard, from punters looking for a winner in WA, but it worked a treat at Caulfield yesterday.

He is far from the best rider in Aus, but at least when he rides in Victoria, you can get good odds - compared to Perth.

Western Australian racing is providing a quality product and he's been a big part of that success

Good rider, but he gets beaten on a lot of hot favs
