Spencer Changes His Mind on Retirement

One-time champion jockey Jamie Spencer will continue to ride in spite of having announced his retirement recently after being stood down as the number one rider at Qatar Racing Limited.

Back in August Spencer, 34, announced his intention to step down at the end of the season but has now decided to continue primarily in a freelance role. "Obviously I have certain existing links and relationships with trainers that I will be utilising," he commented. "I have no specific targets other than to continue to be successful."

Spencer was the Irish flat racing champion in 2004 before crossing to the UK and becoming champion jockey in 2005. In 2007 he regained the crown when he shared the honours with Seb Sanders.
