The Aga Khan Studs have renewed their contract until the end of 2013 with Christophe-Patrice Lemaire, their retained jockey in France.

Lemaire started riding in the Aga Khan colours in 2010 and he won his first Group 1 that year for the Aga Khan on Sarafina in the Prix de Diane. Last week Lemaire rode two Group 1 winners for the Aga Khan and trainer, Alain de Royer Dupré, when Bayrir took the Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park, followed by Sinndar’s daughter, Shareta winning the Yorkshire Oaks.
