Christophe Soumillon has been sacked by the Aga Khan after the jockey pushed a rival out of the saddle.
The top owner made the announcement in a statement on Tuesday morning, four days after the incident at Saint-Cloud.
Soumillon caused widespread discontent in the industry when he elbowed Rossa Ryan in a race and he fell. The rider was fortunate not to be seriously injured – and Soumillon was handed a 60-day ban.
