Jamie Spencer

Jamie Spencer

Jamie Spencer (born 8 June 1980) is an Irish flat racing jockey who is considered one of the best jockeys currently riding in Britain and Ireland. He has won many of the classic races his first being the 1998 Irish 1,000 Guineas when he partnered Tarascon to victory. In 2005 and 2007 Spencer was British Champion Jockey, sharing the title on the latter occasion with Seb Sanders.

Spencer was formerly stable jockey for Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle until they parted company in 2005 after a difficult 2004. He was replaced as stable jockey by Kieren Fallon.

Spencer is married to Channel 4 TV presenter Emma Spencer. His father was George Spencer, former National Hunt trainer in County Tipperary who famously trained the one-eyed Winning Fair to win the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in 1963.

In the 2007 season Jamie Spencer shared the British flat racing Champion Jockeys title with Seb Sanders.
