Jamie Spencer was feeling better about going on holiday with Frankie Dettori after he ended a Group 1 drought in Britain which stretched back 12 years.
The former champion jockey, 43, was once one of the hottest properties in the saddle, with roles as stable jockey to the likes of Aidan O’Brien and Qatar Racing, and retained by Godolphin.
In his freelance years as the big race opportunities have reduced, he has had to travel abroad for his biggest moments, riding top level winners in France, Germany, Australia and North America.
