Spencer-Watch

[billy the punter]

I've thought of doing a Jamie Spencer thread for sometime. Never has a 'top' jockey been so despised by punters, and in my opinion the hatred is fully justified. I rarely back him and reduce stakes on the rare occasions I do. His defenders are a dying breed but there are still some that try to. I hope this thread may prove once and for all if Jamie Spencer is as punter-unfriendly and many believe he is. I have my own views but will let the thread speak for the time being. I will be looking in (some) detail at every ride he takes.

Re: Spencer-Watch The guy at the B2YOR wrote an interesting article about Spencer's riding of two year olds after the 'Thomas Baines' affair at Windsor (?)........... http://www.b2yor.co.uk/2009_Season/09_Previews/090422_rcgprev.htm It's quite a long article about that days racing, but the Spencer discussion is the last few paragraphs..........
