Spencer hit with ban after Boru victory

Brian Boru got his four-year-old career off to a flying start with victory in the Alleged Stakes at Leopardstown yesterday, but his jockey Jamie Spencer picked up a suspension.

The Sadler’s Wells colt was sent to the front inside the final two furlongs and came home three-quarters of a length clear of Napper Tandy, with Dawn Invasion filling third spot.
