Spencer Leads Sanders Into Final Furlong
Wednesday 07 November 2007 at 12:27
 Jamie Spencer leads rival Seb Sanders by just two wins going into the final stages of this year's jockey title race.
Spencer had held a commanding lead over his rival but Sanders' victory at Lingfield has brought the odds back to an even keel with just days remaining in the race.
Coral are now offering odds of 5/6 for both Spencer and Sanders after a number of bookmakers, thinking that Spencer had the championship won, suspended betting on the title.
But that all changed when Sanders romped home on Desperate Dan in the fifth race of the day at Lingfield.
And after claiming his victory, Sanders said: "At this time of year to come away with a winner is good - anything else is a bonus."
Spencer will complete a two-day ban today (November 7th) and will aim to clinch the race he leads 185 to 183 on the final day's racing at Doncaster on Saturday (November 10th).
