Boom jockey Craig Williams's luck ran out at Bendigo on Wednesday...He's copped a potentially costly suspension for careless riding. It runs from Saturday through to Tuesday, November 8. That's 10 race meetings - which seems hefty for a minor incident involving a jockey who has a good riding record. It'll be a shock if Williams doesn't appeal and lodge a battle against this piece of official overkill. Why wouldn't he? He has the plum ride on French stayer Dunaden in next Tuesday's Melbourne Cup.
