Soumillon future with Aga Khan unclear after 'unconscionable, unthinkable' act

Christophe Soumillon was banned for 60 days after elbowing Rossa Ryan at Saint-Cloud. He won the Prix Daniel Wildenstein on Saturday. Princess Zahra Aga Khan's daughter says she will talk to Christophe on Monday about his future with the team. The team is still digesting the incident. France Galop pledged to revisit its rules so that bans can be activated immediately. Soumillon will partner the Agas' Prix du Jockey Club and Eclipse winner Vadeni in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on day two and ride Ebaiyra in Prix De l’Opera.
