Spencer links up with Qatar Racing for return

Jamie Spencer will make a low-key return to action in Britain today when the jockey takes two rides on the all-weather, both for his former employer Qatar Racing.

It was expected that Trade Storm’s seventh in the Longines Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin on Sunday last would bring the curtain down on Spencer’s career, but only a few hours later the 34-year-old

surprised the racing world by announcing that he would continue riding as a freelance.
