Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Thursday 10 September 2026
The riders I'm watching today — the loaded books, the marquee bookings, the form jocks pinging the radar.
Five riders worth watching today. A loaded book is a market signal in itself — when a form jock has multiple chances, the yard sees the day as live. I read the diaries with one eye on the silks, one on the trainer form. Here's what's caught my eye.
⚡ William Buick is running hot — six winners in seven days from a man who already converts one in four rides across a 1459-career sample is not noise, that is a jockey in full flight. Get him onside in the 15:00, where Danielle's speed rating of 117 makes this the standout booking of his five-ride card.
- 6 winners in the last 7 days
- 25% career strike rate (1459 rides)
