Its not that he is bad because sometimes he lokks exceptional. Its his lack of consistency which lets him down. The best jockeys have consistency and positioning as 2 of their strong points. Spencer unfortunately has neither

But this is a man who has been champion jockey and had the top job in racing, ie Coolmore. So for gods sake why does he spend half of his time looking like a 7lb claimer
