Very enjoyable interview with Willie as charismatic as ever
Living Legend, absolutely love Willie Carson, small in stature , but on a horse he was a GIANT & a GENIUS!!!
God Bless you Willie!!
I would love to meet you!!!
You would not want to meet him trust me he’s my great uncle my Grandmas brother he hates kids and he wasn’t the nicest person at my aunties wedding absolutely hate him
@@michelletimmins9983 Read about his treatment of his lovechild
@@alanberkeley7282 Here comes the TROLL!! again! Wow you must be either incredibly sad and lonely...
Or just a miserable nasty bitter gobshite who gets off on trolling other's people you know nothing whatsoever about so wind it in Alan do yourself a favour.
One of the greatest:
Champion Jockey 5 times
100+ winners 23 times
3,828 4th in the all time list
Sir Gordon number one. If pat had have ridden a bit longer. Lester third. Willie fourth
Crook
Willie great jockey , I could listen to his stories all day !
LMAO NO
One of the greatest jockey of the second half of the last century . He, Lester Piggott, Pat Eddery, Enrico Camici, Gianfranco Dettori (Frankie's dad) ... Lot of time I could enjoy their class in Milan or in Rome, or by television
My fav jockeys were always Willie Carson and pat eddery, the golden years 🙏🙏🙏
HAHAHHA LMAO
@@michelletimmins9983 which 4 jockeys won the most races ever
A naturel communicator. He could make everybody laugh. He could have been a comedian had he chosen to. He decided to be a jockey and did crack a few jokes here and there.
Pat was above Willie but you can not take anything away from Carson
@@chriswainwright185
1 sir Gordon Richards
2 pat eddery
3 Lester
4 Willie Carson
Will always remember his comment when when asked if he had any advice to give the wonder kid, Steve Cauthen, when he arrived to ride in England for Barry Hills; "tell him to follow me" cheeky little devil. Thanks for the thrills Willie.
From such better times Willie Carson an absolute legend of the turf great character and a hugely talented and popular Jockey .
Fantastic jockey was our stable jockey at John Dunlop
what a jockey the memories of shouting troy home for my dad willie was one of the greatest jockeys of all time go on willie miss shouting him home the wee champ
Great interview great man
I really enjoyed that interview. Thanks ATR.
there is no greater legend than Willie Carson (except maybe Lester Piggott) Willie is one chilled out guy and Mike is a really great interviewer
LMAO NOO
The absolutely brilliant photo at 23:17 is truly something very very special indeed, just to see 2 of the greatest Jockey's in our lifetime is wonderful sadly the ' Long Fellow ' has gone to weighing room in the clouds smoking the finest Cuban whilst 'nicking' the best handicapped runner in the Big Race! But William Hunter 'Willie' Carson is thankfully still with us.
🐎🐎🐎🙏❤️
Could listen to him all day. Brought back some great memories.
Never forget his ride on Bahri in 1995 . Brilliant jockey
What an absolute gentleman. Very modest and one of the greatest ever jockeys.
I always felt Willie had a Lester Piggott shaped chip on his shoulder throughout his career but now the dust has settled and time has passed, he has come to terms with the fact he was up against a unique genius.
Piggott really did not get on with effervescent people. So he would have been very awkward or worse with Willie. Hence Willie's dislike of Piggott. However Piggott also admired dedication enormously and for Willie to come from a totally non racing background to become a great jockey must have taken great dedication. So I suspect Piggott disliked Carson but admired him.
Yeah is that what you ' always felt' David ?
@@UXB-p5u That's a lot of punctuation marks.
Mike Cattermole = class act
He tried to protect Graham Bradley who was banned from racing on a TV documentry
I spotted that and it wasn't good
True but he's still one of the top jockeys ever
@@abbyanderson4171 Carson bent as fuck
Dirty snake 🐍
@@abbyanderson4171 ' it wasn't good ' why because he was looking after his mate? Amazing how many people attacked Willie for trying to protect his friend I wonder what those gobbing off at Willie for this would have done if their mate was being hounded in this fashion no matter what accusations were being thrown at them? I would have done the exact same thing so would everyone trolling Willie....you're total Hipocrites nasty bitter losers.
I wanted to be a jockey when I was 12 , I'm 56 and still haven't been on a horse .
A great jockey for a great trainer riding against many great jockeys for great trainers.
I liked him at one time
even was told to back him on a 8/1 shot at Royal Ascot 1981 by Sir Peter O Sullivan
but to see him on video siding with Crook Graham bradley made me feel sick..
Definitely. Birds of a feather as they say
@@aidenoleary7406 don't think he was siding with him think it was just the awkward situation. A.P lived with Brad and went on paid holidays with him .was he on the take .
So true fiddler willie
if the truth came out
there all on the fiddle
not one is sqeeky clean i believe
All jockeys all trainer's are bent basterd Brad Carson fallon and a lit more dirty basterds
Willie is a great guy
Just a lovely bloke, not a bad jockey too
Listen to Willie talk about balance and horsemanship..
He knows what's right and what's wrong boucing jockeys
Willie told Lord Weinstock- Graham Bradley told Brian Wright.
Willie is so right about pivot and balance.As an apprentice it was drummed into us about bumping on the horses back,Iwatch the likes of Adam Kirby now and cringe.Maybe things are different now but 54 years ago it was not on.P.s/ I have no doubt about Kirby,s talent.
Willie Carson looks like my man
To think that the Hern stable didn't have a winner from Nashwans Guineas until his Derby victory!! What a horse!!
Quite honest guys for a racing channel to get 2 horses wrong OMG thats Sun Princess not Troy and that's certainly not Salsabil.
Great piece, I started betting in the early 90s but love watching all the historical races on TH-cam, I remember watching Dayjur with my grandad, he backed it for the breeders Cup sprint losing to Safely Kept when he jumped the shadow, couldn't believe it....
Backed Dayjur that day. Still can't believe that he lost.
@@fieldsofomagh He should have been trained for the Champion Hurdle after that display lol, my Grandad also backed Devon Loch for the Grand National in the early 50s when it sprawled 50: yards before the line, I called him Jinxy lol....
Dayjur was the greatest sprinter ever. If he hadn't jumped those shadows he would have won pretty easily.
He seems a very good rider. Go forward and pivoted and go with the horse.
Ask him about Bashayer at Chester
I could be wrong but I think Willie had a ride in the Galway festival many moons ago.
this bloke looks like me mum
Best jockey was sreave cauthen legend
He's talking about Adam Kirkby I Reckon .bump bump
It would've been nice when mentioning Troy winning the 1979 Derby had they put his picture up rather than a picture of Sun Princess..Poor from ATR!!
they also show High Top in the winners enclosure when they talking about Known Fact. Poor.
Oh dear, just noticed another at 8:27 - they show a b&w photo of the 1980 Derby when talking about The Minstrel in 1977. They are showing it at the moment on Ch415 and none of these mistakes have been fixed. VERY POOR indeed - not as if we havent given them a heads up
Greatest jockey ever, wish he were still riding now
thats the best joke ever.you obviousley dont have much racing knowledge.
Great jockey in his day was the little Scotsman
The Allan Park is now a Bingo hall wee man
4th in all time winners behind only Gordon, pat then lester
Happy days
If you’re going to make a film for TH-cam on Willie Carson and you’re going to put up a shot of one of his greatest horses, Troy, at least find a picture of Troy. Troy did not have a white blaze. Sloppy at best. Otherwise, good stuff for the racing bore community to which I so obviously belong...
HBA Media: That's true, they have used a picture of Sun Princess winning the Epsom Oaks for some reason? Stupid really.
and defender of graham bradley the cheat
Crooks the lot of them!!!!!
One of the few jockeys I won money on. Come back willie
HAHAHHA NO
Don’t make them like that anymore,most jockeys are are at best average some of the girls are better.
True, jockeys now are just plain average and bland for some reason? I would say with the exception of Dettori.
What a stupid comment pat eddery was not miles better than Carson when Carson has more classics then eddery
EWW CARSON FANS
Also no way carson looses the derby on el gran senor which eddery made a complete mess of,both good jocks not much between them
Both great
Great jockey .jockeys are like sheep now .under the trees at Goodwood will forever known as the Bahri route ..I still watch these great races everyday..the Queen should have had a lot more good horses winning classics if it wasn't for th£t buffoon lord carnarvon her Racing Manager
Under the trees at Ascot I think you will find.
@@peteb954 I stand corrected ..
@@Kevjohno True, terrible advice has deprived the queen of more classics, she should have sacked Carnarvon.
He was very good for a time but in the later years he had lost his bottle
LMAO YES
pat edderry went bump bump bump and was miles better than carson
100!
Totally agree 👍 Carson couldn't lace Pat's boot's up
Pat was a much better Jockey, when he didn’t go bump bump. The more pronounced the bumps got, the less he won, through the 90‘s and in the 90‘s, Jockeys where already loosing the Art of Race Riding
What a load of rubbish
Very very True but he did very well in his own right.
A Natural.
Best jock after piggot.
Certainly the best Hamdan Jock ever... that wouldnt be hard though
A Ledge with a CAPITAL L 👍
More like a wanker with a capital W
Johnny McGregor HAHHAHAHA YES THE BIGGEST ONE
Y
Good jockey not great.not a very nice wee man. Bit of an Uncle Tom.
Too reach the top of your sport all top sportsman are ruthless, look at Piggot for example, brutal, done anything and everything to win.
Great jockey .and being nice has nothing to do with his ability to ride .I don't see why it should matter .Piggot charged a old lady 50 notes for his autograph once then said I should of asked for a 100 ..
true @@Kevjohno
Willie is a good man but in the racing world if you are not tough you disappear. Willie is a nice man but being a jockey his guard always had to be up.
@@Kevjohno she sold it on Dickinsons real deal, and drew £200 for it! That's a real deal
