April 20, 20232 yr Author Jockey Pat Cosgrave has been banned for 28 days after throwing away victory on long odds-on favourite Concorde in the mile handicap when easing up in the final stages at Chelmsford on Thursday night. The jockey had cruised into the lead in the final furlong on the George Boughey-trained 1-6 hotpot, who looked set for another impressive success having won on his handicap debut at Redcar on Monday. A motionless Cosgrave looked over both shoulders in the final furlong before beginning to sharply ease his mount in the final stages, but had underestimated the proximity of the Brian Ellison-trained My Roxanne on his inside.

May 2, 20232 yr Author Attempts by animal rights protesters to stop this year’s Betfred Derby from taking place “will be dealt with swiftly and decisively”, the Jockey Club said on Tuesday. Activists delayed the start of the Grand National at Aintree last month by 15 minutes after getting on to the course, with Merseyside Police arresting 118 people in total. Protesters also got on to the track prior to the Scottish Grand National being run, although the race went off on time. Animal Rising, which is conducting the protests, said on Tuesday that it had informed the BHA and Jockey Club of its intention to engage in “non-violent protest” at this year’s Derby, claiming that “as many as 1,000 individuals could be involved.” A spokesperson for the Jockey Club, which runs Epsom, said: “We never comment on the specifics of our security arrangements, but clearly part of planning for any event is to ensure that all eventualities are covered and illegal protests like the one we saw at the Grand National at Aintree will not be tolerated.
