Jamie Spencer Age 34, could bring the curtain down on his riding career in Hong Kong next month. Spencer shocked the racing world in the summer when he announced he would hang up his riding boots at the end of the campaign and the Irishman is due to take up a management role with Qatar Racing in the new year. Spencer is to work for the Qatar racing management and Redvers said: ‘He won’t be bored and underworked. He will be helping me on a day-to-day basis. ‘We have 54 trainers worldwide. He is not going to be sitting there smoking his pipe and wearing his slippers. He will be getting around the horses and giving us feedback.’ The jockey finished placed on each of his two rides as the curtain came down on the Flat season at Doncaster on Saturday, but he is likely to be in action for a little longer before he finally calls it a day. Spencer became the youngest jockey Age 17, to win a major European Classic when he was successful on Tarascon in the Irish 1,000 Guineas in 1998 and took the St Leger at Doncaster on Brian Boru in 2003. He spent a year as Aidan O’Brien’s stable jockey in 2004 and finished that season as Ireland’s champion jockey. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Spencer
