A fresh Craig Williams will resume from a rare suspension at Saturday’s Australian Guineas meeting at Flemington.
Williams missed last Saturday’s Blue Diamond Stakes meeting after picking up a careless riding suspension at Flemington on Lightning Stakes day.
Williams said it was only his second suspension in the last 14 months. He took the chance to spend a rare weekend with his wife and four children at his aunt’s property.
“Unfortunately, the timing was bad with three Group One races last week but that’s the way it was,” Williams said. “I was able to spend some quality time with my family, which is unheard of on a Saturday, and hopefully it stays that way.
