르CHECK-POINTESoumillon steps in for Moore in Aidan O'Brien's St. Leger race
Christophe Soumillon, a ten-time champion jockey in France, will be making an appearance at the St Leger at Doncaster this year, following the injury of regular jockey Ryan Moore. Soumillon, who has ridden only 57 times in Britain over the last five seasons, is a renowned figure in the horse racing world, particularly in Group contests.
The mount for Lazy Griff in the St Leger is now open due to Christophe Soumillon's change of ride. Lazy Griff, trained by Charlie Johnston, placed 2nd in the Derby behind Lambourn. However, Soumillon is likely to be out for the rest of the flat season, which includes major meetings like Champions Day at Ascot, the Arc at Paris Longchamp, and the St Leger.
Soumillon's potential rides for the St Leger include Scandinavia, Lambourn, Stay True, and Minnie Hauk. If these horses do not run, the possible jockeys riding for Aidan O'Brien alongside Soumillon at the St Leger have not been explicitly stated in the available sources.
Soumillon's impressive record in Group races is well-documented. He has a 12% strike rate in such races and has won seven. In Group races alone, Soumillon has earned nearly £2.5m. Notably, Soumillon won £448k for connections when he landed the Coral-Eclipse on board the JC Rouget-trained Vadeni.
The absence of Ryan Moore, who is out injured, has left a void in the St Leger lineup. However, the addition of Soumillon, a replacement rider for the event, promises an exciting and unpredictable race. As the St Leger approaches, racing enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the performances of Soumillon and the horses he will be riding.
