The rules are embarrassingly stupid..
"The jockey struck Cirrus Des Aigles six times, one less than the total of seven permitted - but he administered all six strikes inside the final furlong, for which there is a limit of five.
Soumillon - who has ridden Group 1 winners worldwide - loses his share of prize-money, which amounted to £50,868.87, and has incurred a five-day ban that could seriously damage his challenge for the champion jockey title in France."
