William Buick is one of the best international jockeys going around at the moment, but how many times has he won the race that stops a nation?
William Buick Melbourne Cup results
William Buick has won Group 1 races all around the world, but is yet to taste success in the Melbourne Cup. His best result from three rides in the Cup came in 2019 when he partnered 2018 Melbourne Cup winner Cross Counter to an 8th placed finish in the race 12-months after his success.
Which horse is William Buick riding in the Melbourne Cup?
Simon & Ed Crisford have booked William Buick to ride their UK-based stayer Without A Fight in the 2022 Melbourne Cup. Without A Fight stamped his Cup prospects running second to Hukum, a subsequent Group 1 winner at Epsom, first-up in Dubai last March. The five-year-old son of Teofilo, who sired Cup winners Cross Counter (2018) and Twilight Payment (2020), has won two Listed races and placed in a Group 3 following a luckless run in a Group 1 at Meydan.
