Who said nice guys always finish last? Criticised as a flat-track bully who could only clean up in Perth, William Pike had the final say in the Cox Plate … and he could add a Victoria Derby on Saturday. Story: @bendorries76 👇

They said he was a one-trick pony, a flat-track bully who only cleaned up as a hometown hero in Perth.
Look who's laughing now - William Pike, the jockey who marches to the beat of his own drum

Pride of Jenni will not be nominated for Saturday’s Empire Rose Stakes.
Her leg isn’t quite 100%, and Tony won’t be taking any risks with her.
The Champions Mile remains an option if she’s back to 100%. Otherwise, she’ll head to Perth.

There will be 3-4 horses, maybe more, in the Melbourne Cup who legit have no chance of finishing top 10 who are now subsidised.
And keeping top-five chances out of the race.
Dunno if that’s what we’re after.

How the wrong horse made it into the mounting yard at Eagle Farm on Saturday, before being a late scratching by order of stewards
STORY 👉 shorturl.at/tSjz1
Stewards inquiry into wrong horse scratching drama at Eagle Farm heard that the horse presented as Street Chase was actually another 5yo chestnut gelding called Zoodoo (who was not entered to race) .. staff error at Jack Bruce stables. Inquiry adjourned @RacenetTweets

Pikey with the big F U to all the Twitter experts 🤣🤣🤣 #lastlaugh
W Pike a legend
Always walks to the beat of him own drum
Calls a spade a spade, he is who he is
Spoke to him recently when he was having some shooting practice on his farm to chill out
Such a good story
Wizard of the west now the conqueror of Cox Plate
Late scratching at Eagle Farm (Jack Bruce-trained Street Chase, one of the fancies) appears to be because they brought the wrong horse to the course @RacenetTweets
