Ruby Walsh: 'It's a racing manoeuvre and Christophe did not get it right'

Ruby Walsh describes Christophe Soumillon's actions on Friday as a "racing manoeuvre" gone "badly wrong". He believes the jockey's 60-day ban for elbowing Rossa Ryan out of the saddle was appropriate. France Galop has pledged to revisit its rules so that future bans can be activated immediately. The jockeying trainer Karl Burke believes Christoph Soumillon was lucky not to get a longer ban. Richard Fahey refuses to join the calls for stiffer punishment for Sou millon. He is set to partner Vadeni in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (3.05) on Sunday.
