Go Go Go Horserace: SPENCER RELISHING GLORY BID. Jamie Spencer is wanting forward to being reunited with Fame And Glory as they are going for back-to-back victories within the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.
Aidan O'Brien's stayer conjointly won the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup at the Berkshire course within the autumn to prove himself best.
The trainer's son, Joseph O'Brien, was within the saddle when Fame And Glory created a successful reappearance within the Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan last month, and Spencer expects the six-year-old to be in prime condition when he defends his crown.
"He won the 2 main staying races there, the one on Champions Day and therefore the Gold Cup itself, in order that they were sensible days," Spencer, retained rider to owner Fitri Hay, told At The Races.
"Joseph said he was a little recent and keen (at Navan), however he showed lots of life. it had been his 1st begin of the year.
"He improved from his runs last year when he have to be compelled to Ascot and i am certain Aidan can have him in top-top form.
"He's up against sensible horses like Saddler's Rock and color Vision, therefore we'll need to see how the race pans out."
