......if you want your horses running off 65 before too long.

Answers on a postcard to what Fitri Hay and her advisors see that the rest of us dont.

Jamie's had 10 winners since the start of the year. A talent wasted or was he never all that?

Fritri has excellent judgment, she funded Liz Truss, the best PM of recent times

Overrated due to occasional flashy looking winners, in amongst runs of losing rides trying to be clever IMO.

Never all that. Delusion of grandeur.

imo Spencer is both better and worse than people think.

He can't bloody steer, which means when he is not steering he must be better in order to achieve his rating.

Laugh. I saw a post the other day which reasoned that we should all allocate his horses with an additional 7lbs of weight min. to help in assessing his mounts chance.  Made me laugh then I thought “how practical”.

I'd be staggered if this is any more than a verbal agreement.

So many races he could have won he's lost through that tactic holding up, where the margins are so fine and a miscalculation is so costly. When I worked at the Racing Post one of their high profile pundits refused ever to tip or back a horse JS was riding.

He is riding for Hay in the opener at Goodwood, however, it would seem that someone, somewhere, has decided it's time to give someone else a try on Jakajaro, having looked a shade unlucky under Spencer once or twice.

One of the worst but is that for a reason anyone who remembers Richard guest, he was always out the back but on the odd times he gave it full whack, very same as frank, will have lots of money

Wasn't there a Chester meeting years ago where something like 17 out of his 18 rides started with the RP comment "Held up in rear"....

I mean feck me, I've only patted a horse and I know out that out the back at Chester is a No No!

Does the fact that he has been champion jockey here and in Ireland tell us much about his rivals?Laugh
