Jamie Spencer

Any comments on the 5.25? He seems to have gone downhill since he got married!!

A fantastic jock, Tonsils.

I would place Jamie in high rank on a historical pantheon of jockeys; indeed, high on an august list of the top thirty jockeys ever. Sir Gordon, Fred A, Billy S. Lester, Pat E, etc. Jamie S. The name fits.

I’ve never seen a jockey who can deliver a horse on the line like he did with Firenze at Newmarket in October 2006. I laid the horse and even I was cheering him home. If I had to bet my last monkey on a horse, it would be a Spencer ridden thing at about 4/1 in a big field.

And really, if I was tucked up with Emma Spencer every night I’d have a spring in my step like a giraffe on steroids.

So get on his mounts this summer, Tonsils, is my unasked for advice.

You could also try to keep relevant posts to on the same thread. Incredibly you started 3 threads about 2 races!

Welcome to the forum BTW

I agree with max. Jamie is a terrific jock and along with chris they are blessed with the ability to gain maybe 1/2 a length extra out of a horse at the line. The criticism he receives for his drop out style is rarely (I won’t say never) justified. Not all favourates win.
