Exclusive translation: A video clip documented the Belgian jockey Christophe Sommillon pushing his competitor, Rosa Ryan, from his horse and dropping him in the middle of the horse racing circuit in France.
Christophe Sommillon paid the final penalty for his egregious behavior in St Cloud last week when fellow jockey Rosa Ryan was kicked out of his trip with the Belgian after his contract with the Aga Khan expired. According to the Daily Mail.
A statement issued by the Aga Khan Stud said: “Following last Friday’s incident at Saint-Cloud, which resulted in the downfall of Rosa Ryan, the Aga Khan Stud has taken the decision to discontinue the retainer with jockey Christophe Sommillon with immediate effect.
From this week onwards, Sommelier may still be riding Aga Khan silk on occasion at the discretion of the French coaches and the Aga Khan stud team.
His participation in Longchamp last weekend caused a major controversy within the sport, with the French Federation confirming that it did not want Soumillon to be part of the event in Paris.
