Pierre-Charles Boudot to return to race riding on Sunday

Pierre-Charles Boudot is set ride in France for the first time in over five years at Compiegne on Saturday.
The leading French jockey has not ridden in his homeland since May 2021, but was able to reapply for his licence after last week being exonerated by a court of charges against him relating to allegations of rape.
Boudot – who has always strenuously denied any wrongdoing – was granted his licence by France Galop on Tuesday pending the completion of a mandatory medical examination and having now come through that too, he is clear to make his comeback.
Boudot’s agent Herve Naggar posted on X on Wednesday: “@PCBOUDOT will make his return on Saturday in Compiegne aboard a horse co-owned by his mother and sister, trained by @EcurieSeror.
“He will also be in the saddle the following day at Chantilly. Welcome back PC.”
Boudot was initially suspended for two days by France Galop following his indictment, a ban which was extended on several occasions before his licence was revoked indefinitely in November 2022 at the request of the Ministry of the Interior.
The 33-year-old did return to race-riding briefly in Qatar earlier this year after being granted a temporary licence by local authorities.
Boudot’s has won numerous Group Ones at home and abroad over the course of his decorated career to date, perhaps most notably denying Enable a third victory in the 2019 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe aboard the Andre Fabre-trained Waldgeist.
