Jamie Spencer

Jamie Spencer (born 8 June 1980, in County Tipperary)[1] is an Irish flat racing jockey currently riding in the UK.

[2] Spencer is an advocate for the art of holding up horses late into the races, and then making use of their natural dash of speed.

In January 2010, Spencer signed a contract to ride as retained jockey for Mrs Fitri Hay, whose principal trainer is Paul Cole, with other horses trained by Stan Moore and Tom Tate.

Spencer's wins for O'Brien in the Hay colours included the 2011 Ascot Gold Cup on Fame And Glory.

[8] Spencer rode his 2,000th winner in British flat racing in August 2017 when Stake Acclaim won at the Shergar Cup meeting.
