Christophe Soumillon has 110 Hong Kong wins.
Sidelined from two of the most prestigious meetings in the world because of COVID-19, Belgian ace Christophe Soumillon is anxious to make up for lost opportunities – and time – when he resumes with a full book of rides at Sha Tin on Sunday, Dec. 20.
Diagnosed with COVID-19 shortly before the Breeders Cup meeting at Keeneland on Nov. 7, the 10-time French champion surrendered a winning ride on Tarnawa in the US$4 million Breeders Cup Turf.
Salting the wound, Soumillon also watched Order Of Australia – another confirmed mount – post an upset victory in the US$2 million Breeders Cup Mile.
under normal circumstances, but i was so proud of what he and my grandfather were doing. john had retired from the navy just during that week, and so finished the retirement process during the days of the funeral, and we left the next day to go home. that s a lot to absorb. i was unable to maintain flight status. that puts a ceiling. and i had to make a tough decision and i decided since i was not going to be able to reach all the heights that i wanted to that i would get out of the navy and that we would go to arizona. i felt he had some political ambitions, but we hadn t really outwardly said it, but i knew he was good at what he does, he was engaged in washington, he was a smart thinker.

significant therapy. i could recommend awful good people in new york, end quote. how do you view now what is arguably a different team in the west wing? well, first of all i ve seen this pattern many times. all presidents go through it. in the first year of a presidency presidents rely more on their staff and outsiders and foreign leaders to ask what do you think? what s going on? as they settle into the job they become more confident and they start to make their own calls and often disregard what the staff says. this is not unique to donald trump. they all do it. i think donald trump has a superb team around him now particularly with john bolton going to the national security council. i worked with ambassador bolton. he is sharp, smart thinker. a big strategic mind and he will represent what the president wants, not himself. and that is appropriate. so donald trump is the president regardless of who the staff is. whether people like or don t
