In a rare look inside the saddle, Williams shares a collection of his latest jockey-cam footage, offering racing fans a sweeping behind-the-scenes view of elite thoroughbreds across Victoria and New South Wales.
The vision, captured over recent weeks, spans action at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse through to trackwork sessions at Cranbourne Racecourse, highlighting some of the most talked-about gallopers of the autumn.
Group 1 Class at Rosehill
Among the headline acts was the progressive Pericles, with Williams’ onboard perspective revealing the raw acceleration and tactical speed that have made the horse a rising force in Sydney’s middle-distance ranks. The footage shows Williams settling the gelding into rhythm before urging him into clear air — the surge palpable as the field straightens.
Equally compelling was the jockey’s ride aboard multiple Group 1 performer Sir Delius at Rosehill. From the barriers to the home turn, the camera captures the composure and power beneath Williams as Sir Delius lengthens stride under pressure. With the high-class galloper set to return to the races soon, the footage has only heightened anticipation among punters and racing enthusiasts.
Te Akau Talent on Show at Cranbourne
The jockey-cam wasn’t limited to raceday. Williams also offered a glimpse into morning trackwork at Cranbourne, partnering a pair of emerging stars for powerhouse stable Te Akau Racing.
Onboard footage of Damask Rose shows a filly working smoothly through her gears in a controlled gallop, her stride balanced and fluent under light urging. Stablemates and clockers alike have noted the professionalism she displays at home — something the camera angle vividly reinforces.
But much of the attention centres on precocious two-year-old I Am Aria, who is set to line up in the prestigious Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield Racecourse this weekend. The Cranbourne gallop footage shows I Am Aria striding out confidently, travelling strongly through the line — a sign she is primed for the Group 1 assignment.
As autumn racing builds toward its major features in both states, Williams’ footage serves as both a showcase of elite talent and a reminder of the precision, partnership and nerve required at the highest level of Australian racing.
