Jamie Spencer will have his crucial appeal against a two-day ban heard by the Horseracing Regulatory Authority disciplinary panel tomorrow.

Jamie Spencer’s appeal against the two-day ban he picked up at Ascot on Saturday will be heard on Thursday.

It was not quite barbecue weather at Ascot but a bit of rain failed to prevent an Australian domination at the Berkshire track.

No racecourse generates greater betting turnover than Ascot during its Royal Meeting and so it was apt that Partners In Jazz landed a gamble in the totesport Victoria Cup, the feature event as racing returned following a gap of a year and a half for redevelopment.
