The top jockey Calumura is out for the rest of the season: who will replace him.

The Return of the Jockey

According to The Sun: Aidan O’Brien has signed a contract with the jockey, who gained scandalous popularity after forcing a rival out of the race, to replace the injured Ryan Moore.

The chief jockey of Coolmore, Ryan Moore, will miss the rest of the season due to a broken leg.

New Challenges for Soumillon

Christophe Soumillon, known as 'Super Su', will participate in a tense season finale. He will compete on DelaCroix in this year's Irish championship bets.

O'Brien has a strong team of jockeys at Ballydoyle, where Derby winner Wayne Lordan often competes.

However, O’Brien decided to quickly bolster his team by signing a contract with Soumillon.

Super Su is a renowned jockey with numerous Group 1 titles, who recently came under discussion due to an incident when he forced Rossa Ryan out of the saddle.

After this, Soumillon received a 60-day ban and lost his contract with Aga Khan. However, since then he has refrained from attracting attention with his provocative actions and shows excellent form in the saddle at the age of 44.

Competition at the Season's End

One of the significant races in which Soumillon will not be able to participate is the St. Leger at Doncaster, where a contract with Charlie Johnston is already established to appear on Layzy Greffe, who finished second in the Derby.

Despite this, Soumillon has chances to participate in many other significant races planned by O’Brien, including the October Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp.

Soumillon, being Belgian, actively competes in France, so he knows these tracks well.

O’Brien also has two market leaders – Whirl and Minnie Hauk, and has confirmed that Los Angeles is also preparing for the race.

Stay tuned for events and expect new updates soon.

The return of Christophe Soumillon to the arena not only strengthens Aidan O'Brien's team but promises an interesting battle at the season's finish. His participation in significant races can significantly affect the final results of this competitive period, closely watched by horse racing fans worldwide.
