But they want to see a winners cheque. I see he's got the drive on Our Pinnochio on Sunday. I know one of the owners and they'll be patient but for how long? It's not good to bag drivers but you've gotta say was you see/believe... he doesn't look comfortable sitting in the cart either IMO. The Williamson's wouldn't employ him if he wasn't capable for fast work etc but that doesn't make him a decent driver, I was at Cromwell/Roxborough meeting in Jan and wanted to back a couple of horses Oliver Kite was driving, watched in the parade ring then up and around the 1850 start and he too doesn't look comfortable in the cart either and was very jerky on the bit....., hard not to be P.C but he's a big lad too and a lot of trotters he drives seem to gallop at the start for whatever reason.
