LAST Sunday was redemption day for jockey Christophe Soumillon. His dramatic and somewhat unexpected victory on board Epiphaneia in last Sunday’s Japan Cup finally banished his Japan Cup demons of 2010. Four years ago the visiting Belgian jockey rode Buena Vista in Japan’s flagship international race and, though crossing the line first with a comfortable two lengths to spare, was demoted to second by the stewards for what they deemed to be careless riding.
