IF you needed further evidence of Jamie Spencer’s tactical awareness, you got it in the ride that he gave Sabador in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket last Saturday.

There was a hypothesis doing the rounds on Saturday that the centre might be the place to be in the Cambridgeshire, that the ground may have been better down the centre than it was at either rail. Spencer was obviously a subscriber to that hypothesis, and he rode Sabador accordingly.
