No place quite like Cheltenham for Spencer

JAMIE SPENCER may be a double champion Flat jockey, but the meeting he looks forward to watching the most is the Cheltenham Festival.

The Classic-winning rider has tasted success at a lot of the top tracks in the world, but even he rates Prestbury Park as the best as a racegoer.

“I love Royal Ascot. It’s my favourite meeting of the year, but to watch a meeting I’d rather watch Cheltenham,” he said.
