A Belgian jockey will be allowed to ride in the richest horse race in Europe at the weekend despite being banned for 60 days for deliberately elbowing a rival off their horse mid-race at a meeting on Friday. 

In the shocking incident at Saint-Cloud, Christophe Soumillon knocked Rossa Ryan to the floor as they travelled side-by-side, sparking calls for the Belgian to be banned for life.

Soumillon was immediately disqualified from the race and has been banned for two months. But the suspension does not start until after Sunday, clearing him to ride in the famous Arc de Triomphe - a race that has a total prize pot of £4million.
