Great to catch up with Danny Williams, a familiar character on racetracks with his trademark stetson.

Danny, a son of former respected bush jockey Harry Williams, had a spectacular career as an amateur rider and a successful transition to the pro ranks.

In this episode he talks about some of his experiences on crude and dusty bush tracks and his torturous battle with weight. He talks about his final days as an amateur when he won 8 from 13 races at Cairns.
