For some reason I've never been too impressed with Beadman. I think he has poor instincts in big races & can get caught napping. He rides for cover, which is fair enough particularly in the rank & file races in Sydney, but in G1 races, its just not enough to get cover inside of horses & hope for luck. The ride on Headturner probably cost him victory, it deprived him of his chance anyway.

Someone mentioned Callow...the ride on Queen of the Hill?? Actually i didnt think he did too much wrong. Someone tried to keep him in a pocket & thats racing.
