Buick attacked in a Dubai nightclub William Buick hopes to be back in action at Jebel Ali next Friday after he was forced to give up his rides at Meydan today following "an unprovoked attack" in a Dubai nightclub. Buick was in attendance with fellow jockeys at a party in honour of Richard Hills, who recently announced his retirement. The jockey's father, Walter Buick, said his son was hit and had injured his jaw. He is now returning to Britain to see a specialist. Walter Buick said on Wednesday morning: "It was a totally unprovoked attack and William was just unfortunate. It seems like he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. "The lads had got together for a bit of a send-off for Richard Hills. He'll probably be back riding next Friday, that's what he told me when I spoke to him last night. "He was just minding his own business, but there you go. He said he was in a fair bit of pain so he's coming home to get it looked at."
