Last updated at 20:38 18 August 2007


Jamie Spencer will be

walking a tightrope this week

as he chases his second

jockeys' championship.

After receiving his second

three-day ban in 48 hours at

Newbury yesterday – for

careless riding on Scintillo in

the Usk Valley Stud Stakes -

Spencer is on the brink of a

further lengthy suspension

which could rule him out of

the title race.

Spencer, who is narrowly

ahead of Seb Sanders, has

now been banned for a total

of 26 days in the past 12

months.
