How about these Aussie jockeys! A handful of them are dominating some of the best racing in the world. Craig Williams was at his majestic best riding Jaguar Mail to victory in Sunday's Tenno Sho in Tokyo, while in Hong Kong the amazing Darren Beadman booted home four winners at Sha Tin on Saturday. Fellow Aussies Zac Purton and Brett Prebble were also successful on the 11-race card. Prebble's win on Perfect Sprint has equal with Douglas Whyte at the top of the Hong Kong jockeys' premiership. The season winds up next month. Japan is the fourth country where Williams has won a Grp 1 race. He won the Prix de la Salamandre at Longchamp in Paris and the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket (UK) on Tobougg in 2000. Aussie riders are also dominating Singapore racing.

The way Craig Williams is riding makes one wonder what David Hayes was thinking when he decided to cast the jockey adrift after using him as the stable's #1 rider for several years. Williams copped a spray almost every time that he lost on a stable runner...but how has the Hayes stable fared since his departure? It hasn't exactly set the world on fire.

Sth Aussie Derby winner Kidnapped will be kept to racing in Melbourne and Adelaide in future. The reason, says trainer Peter Snowden, is that he just doesn't handle the Sydney way of racing. Snowden says: 'Early in his preparation we had trouble trying to find the right race but when we did we soon discovered that he couldn't handle the Sydney way of going. After we knew this, we switched him back to our Flemington stable but the South Australian Derby was always the race for him. He'll go to the paddock now.' Kidnapped, well ridden by Kerrin McEvoy, got home narrowly in the 2500m classic from the unlucky Red Colossus, whose rider Chris Symons blamed mid-race buffeting for costing him victory.
