An informal arrangement has existed between Fallon and Stoute since and Fallon, who this year became only the third jockey in turf history - after Fred Archer and Sir Gordon Richards - to ride three consecutive double centuries, rides Stoute's Susu in the Breeders' Cup Mile tomororrow.
Stoute said: "We will sort something out for next year. He is in Hong Kong at the start of the year and is not going to ride for me on the all- weather, and he comes back mid-March. I wouldn't have asked him if I didn't want him."
