Last time wins after being in touch and skating up. Drawn one on the rail dropped in last. Good enough or not the jockey hasn't give it a chance from the word go.
There is only one way connections could have profited from a ride like that.

He can't help himself. Has to ride everything from plum last - even if, like today, the horse breaks well from the stalls. Surely the most one dimensional jockey riding today..

"feel sorry for backers. never had any chance. why drop in last from stall 1?"
You either go forward from stall 1 at Lingfield or you take a pull, everyone knows that. And with Spencer riding a hold-up horse what did anyone expect other than what happened. The horse was always going to be held up.
True, Spencer might have over-done it again (when doesn't he), but the horse didn't do a tap in straight. It had the perfect sling-shot into the straight, had plenty of track down the outside to run, and yet didn't pass a horse. It just didn't quicken one bit.
Really not sure how you can blame Spencer for that horse losing by 10 lengths today.

It's like the 've would've won anyway' comment from pundits. That's not the argument. Was he ever given any chance if getting involved? That's the question.

There's your argument shot to bits. Wins 'in touch' NOT held up. Spencer could have been in touch from that draw, he chose being last as a better option.

Thought he'd been riding better since coming out of retirement, then this happens. Why does it complicate things so much having him on a horse? Trainers use him, so there must be something to him, but if I was an owner I wouldn't want him near one of mine.
