Fallon on Islington vs Prado on L'Ancresse always sticks in my mind. But also Murtagh on Kalanisi. Even Lester on Royal Academy.
As for Spencer, he had a pretty rough season at Coolmore, but has got better since, but it would be incredibly tough to judge any jockey based on a ride on that huge dog Antonius Pius.

Yeah, well you can keep Spencer and that clown Murtaugh, thanks anyway.
Harry? Have you ever watched Murtaugh's ride on Whipper last year? Could you honestly try and explain to me what exactly you think was going through his head? Because quite frankly I don't think I will ever understand it.
