Spencer resigns as Ballydoyle jockey

JAMIE SPENCER has parted company with Ballydoyle after just one season.

Following a less than satisfactory campaign, during which his riding was frequently criticised, he has chosen to walk away from the biggest job in European flat racing.

A statement released yesterday afternoon, on behalf of Ballydoyle, said he had informed them of his decision to resign his position as the yard’s retained jockey.
