Spencer: “Some day I hope I can get it right on Pius”

JAMIE SPENCER was in philosophical mood yesterday after Antonius Pius’s defeat in the NetJets Breeders’ Cup Mile at Lone Star Park on Saturday night.

Spencer appeared to have every chance inside the final furlong aboard the Aidan O’Brien-trained three-year-old, who then jinked left behind Singletary and lost by half a length.

The quirky son of Danzig had lost the French 2000 Guineas in May when he veered sharply right into the rails close home with the race at his mercy.
