Jamie Spencer

Jamie Spencer is one of the top Irish jockeys of recent years. He’s been backed by a lot of the big yards over the years including a spell as stable jockey to Aidan O’Brien. Spencer was British Champion Jockey in both 2005 and 2007.

His record for Fanshawe is much less impressive, with a rather large level stake loss. This could well be down to the prohibitive odds the horses this trainer/jockey combination often start at.

Jamie Spencer Racecourse Stats

Beverley, Ayr and Ascot seem to be favourite hunting grounds for Jamie Spencer, having a healthy strike rate and level stake profit at all of these courses but Beverley is particularly impressive. Beverley is quite a difficult track to get right so with Spencer regarded as one of the best horsemen of recent times his ability to get the best out of his horses at the Beverley track makes sense.

Race Types

Jamie Spencer has a similar trend to some other top jockeys where race types are concerned. His record in Group races and to a lesser extent Sellers and Claimers are much better than his record in Maiden and Handicap races.

Spencer’s great record in Group races can be put down to three things, a greater motivation to win these races to show his talent on the major stage, the excellent prize money on offer and the top rides he gets.

Selling and Claiming races also read well on Jamie Spencer’s statistics. Top jockeys probably are more inclinded to take rides in these races when their mount has a good chance of winning the race. Also, stables tend to book top jocks for these races when they are desperate to get a win.

Interestingly, fellow 2007 Champion Jockey Seb Sanders has similar race stats.
