Soumillon said he hadn't ridden in England in over a month meaning when he last did, this rule wasn't in place. So he was supposed to be counting strokes in the heat of a stretch run of a $2 million race and watching the furlong markers (do they even have them?) to make sure he doesn't give too many inside the final furlong? I can't wait til a jock hits the allowable mark and then stops...and is then suspended for failing to ride his horse out to the finish. Stupid rule.
