According to the stewards’ report on the official Hong Kong Jockey Club website, Spencer was said to have “grabbed Soumillon in the vicinity of the neck”.

Both jockeys are riding high on the international scene. Irish-born Spencer starts next season as retained jockey to the Aidan O’Brien stable at Ballydoyle while Soumillon has had a tremendous season in France winning the Prix du Jockey Club and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Dalakhani for the Aga Khan.
