Jamie Spencer booked to ride Donncha for first time in Lincoln
Andrea Atzeni has been aboard Robert Eddery’s six-year-old for nine of his 23 career starts, including his last run at Newmarket in October, but he’s all set to ride favourite Morando for Roger Varian in the curtain-raiser for the British Flat turf season this weekend.
That means Eddery has turned to Spencer, a jockey with a good record at Doncaster (25 wins from 135 rides — a 19% strike rate — for the last five years) but one that has yet to win the Lincoln, in part because he’s often been riding in Dubai when the meetings used to clash.
