- There was drama at Chelmsford when 1/6 favourite Concorde was beaten a nose. Coasting to success under Pat Cosgrave, the rider eased up close to the finish line and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, with My Roxanne landing the spoils. An apologetic Cosgrave afterwards admitted to Racing TV's Jess Stafford that he had made a misjudgement and should have won. The stewards banned him for 28 days.

My only problem is he didn’t apologise very specifically to punters and that is pretty outrageous. He needed to be very clear on that. It’s not the first time a jockey has made a mistake and showed disdain for the people who put bread on their table.
You put bread on the bookies tables not anyone else’s
@@Shadai929 You must be in thick as freshly laid muck if you think jockeys would make a living without the existence of betting. Pat Cosgrave would be stacking shelves without punters. Get a clue.
@@Shadai929
Yeah when a jockey doesn't win on a horse that should have after the punters have lumped on.
@@Bri-254 you pay your money you take your chances that’s gambling
@@Bri-254 no sympathy for the mugs lumping on a 1/6 shot.
Clown apologised to the owner, who lost £4,000. Punters lost a lot more, than that, but he doesn't give a damn about them
what punters 1 to 6 fav what punters you on about ? it was a no bet race even on the exchanges you wouldnt get a bet on him
@@stevehardy3680 You can g/tee there would have been some big bets on the course , 60k to win 10k , or 6k to win a grand . you obviously don't know much about racing son.
Great lay at 1/6 if you are the owner and tell the jock to pull it.
@@stevehardy3680 "even on the exchanges you wouldnt get a bet on him" what the hell are you talking about
1/6? 6k gets you 1k in a matter of minutes, your bank will take 15 years to give you that sort of return. Professional gamblers, something you are not aware of.
He was actually tugging the horse 50 metres before the finishing line.... !!!!!
bullcrap.
filthy so and so.
Lifetime ban !! Disgraceful , as a regular punter on distance betting as well although not on this race / meeting it is ridiculous how often they don't ride out to the winning post ....
you having a gambling addiction is no reason the jockey should lose his livelyhood.
i bet you fuck up from time to time, too.
Thats why I dont bet on distance anymore. Its bloody frustrating
Totally agree. After having a bet on the OVER distances, there's nothing worse than watching a race where a jockey has a ton in hand, moves to the front, goes 4 or 5 clear, then eases right down to won by 3/4 of length, or watching tw@s like Jamie Spencer cruise up on a 1/5 shot, potentially to win by 10, and start looking over his shoulder for a furlong to win by a neck.. its blatantly cheating the punters, as horses are not bring ridden out to their full potential.. As much as I hate the monotonous style of American horse racing, they at least ride the horses out 99% of the time, sometimes winning by 15+ lengths, not eased down.. Would be a dream betting on OVER 11 lengths on a meeting like Mountaineer!
He was finding it very hard to leave the nose alone in they interview
the nose knows
Proper fix
@@liverpoollegendsteve⁹
Funny, it was also by a distance of a NOSE that horse lost by.
Can’t believe how he was looking over his right shoulder . . . 😂😂😂
Very strange. He was given a huge gap turning in and easily went up the inside. Took a big pull ( not dropping the hands). before the post.
Taking a pull was what did him, no idea why jockeys do that. Just let them stride out.
Pat Cosgrove was previously banned for six months (reduced to four) for helping his horse's stablemate beat him in Dubai. It's on UA-cam. Perhaps a patten is developing. If you watch the Chelmsford race PG pulled his mount hard well before the line. Maybe he has a gambling problem and is into the bookies for serious wedge. I say review whether he has 'CREDIT' bookmaking accounts. After all jockeys can't legally bet can they?
28 days???? Try 6 months absolutely incredible
Was not intended
Try BANNING HIM FOR LIFE
Should be getting 2 months..(jail that is)
Looks like he actually took a pull on this horse close to the end. Deserved a lot longer!
What about sorry to punters that lost thousands .
Here here……. He was banned in the UAE too. Times must be hard for owner/ trainers to have this clown retained 😅
No apologies for the punters I see
I give him credit for facing the cameras so soon after and he does genuinely look apologetic and gutted, but it is poor that the punters do not even get a thought.
If odds on shots were a good bet , bookmakers would all be out of business.
@@seanscanlon9067 This fraud of a jockey has previously been banned for corrupt race riding don't forget ! Not only is he a world class crook ,he's a world class actor ! And the interviewer gives him the old easy time of it act ! Horrendous ! Ask him a question like ,hey Pat ,why do you think punters will think you are a bent jockey ?
I think jockeys don't like us ,that's the impression I get
@Tommy Trombone 😂😂😂
Not long enough not only costing the punters a fortune but again brings into perspective that racing is bent
“Error in judgment”- uh NO! Pulling up your horse at the wire and putting your foot on the brakes as YOU LEAN BACK AND PUT YOUR FEET IN THE DASHBOARD is NOT an “error in judgement”…
He was lucky it was only 28 days. Pure stupidity. You are wrong James Greig. He stood up and took a pull right before the line
We all make mistakes in life but the only thing that is wrong with this apology is that he didn't say sorry to the punters who laid!!! C'mon Pat,we exist too!! I suppose he did say all concerned at the end there
The Bonehead should get a year suspension.
When saying today "I've been riding for 24 years and it's never happened before and I have to make sure it doesn't happen again" - Mr Cosgrove seems to have conveniently forgotten Dubai 2014 when he was banned for six months for similar "questionable riding" letting the subsequent winner up his inside. Some jockeys are adept at 'intentionally loosing' a race un noticed. C'mon Pat you can't say that is has never happened before. It's on the record.
Thanks for adding substance to the "debate". A lot of gullible apologists on here. An apprentice being a bit cocky and getting caught out is one thing. A professional of his experience - it wouldn't happen unless it was "somewhat" desired.
Yaaap UA-cam got the receipts
the issue in Dubai was despicable but the British stewards didn't accept it - the Aussies in Dubai rightfully hammered him !
Losing a race not loosing a race!
Why tug the reigns inside the final 50 yards? Yet another black mark against our great sport.
The jockey must have a Mr Big telling him when to win and loose races
It just seems to happen too often with the odds on horses.
Don't be silly.
What nonsense! If he is stopping the horse there are many ways of doing it less obviously than that. He is lucky to have only got 28 days though.
@@seanscanlon9067 your right Sean. I can’t believe folk think he lost on purpose
@Michael Johnson
He just better hope Mr. Big wasn't punting on that horse.
He lies a lot with Pat Cosgrove and been banned for twenty eight days crafty maneuverer. Disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful.
Too much of this cheating is going on its about time the bhb and the stewards got to grips with this.
Betting patterns should be investigated and these jockeys who are cheating should get an automatic 2 years bans.
He couldn't lie straight in bed if he wanted to 😊
1. When a jockey is banned for not trying to win, the related trainer and owner(s) MUST be banned too - SUPERIOR RESPONDEAT plus whoever else identified who abetted the jockey. PERIOD.
2. "Punter Beware" ala CAVEAT EMPTOR.
Should have got life, unacceptable
That is the reason I gave up betting 30 years ago when I realised that the whole thing was a farce. In the early years we had a jockey that was called 'the punters friend' who lost more races with odds on favourites than he won. Bookies friend more like.
Everywhere in the world today, we find cameras! Cameras in every shop, on every street, every motorway, every stadium, every shopping maul, every country lane etc. Cameras are absolutely everywhere today, as they're cheap and reliable. The only place left, that you'll not find a camera, is looking directly across the win line in British horse-racing. Of course, they have the photo finish camera doing that, only you, me, and everybody else, have to put up with really bizarre, strange and meaningless camera angles and have we've never been able to watch the horse cross the winning line from a camera looking directly across the winning line.
You can watch an entire race, and we can watch the horses jumping fences out in the countryside, we can watch each horse jump each fence, from many different camera angles, even looking up from the fence they're jumping over, we can watch the horses all that way through the race, watching the entire race from every angle you could imagine. Only when they're all crossing the winning line, (the most important part of any race) you can't have the camera angle looking directly across the winning line, LOL.
There is no reason for it either, and when you think about it, (we should always be able to watch the horses cross the winning line from a camera looking directly across the winning line), yet we can't, and we've never been able too in British horse racing. LOL. And still 45 - 50 years on, still nobody says a word about about it or ever asks why. Extraordinary idiocy.
Favorites since racing started only win at a 30 to 33 percent rate because betters go by what a horse did his last start and it goes all out and finished 2 nd they jump on it today and lose because it faced a few better horse's and hadn't recovered from it's all out effort in it's last race..
mugs game

100% his agent told him to front up to the cameras and apologise to the owners/trainer. This arrogant pr**k was going to slink out the back door. I hope his career goes south now.
Should have tested him for ❄ showing all the positive signs
Apologised to owner and trainer what about the f punters
28 days ain’t enough. Sit the SOB for a year. Send a message.
I suspect most body language experts would be deeply concerned about the amount of times he is touching his nose/mouth, while speaking.
Watch Andy Murray the tennis player he does that in interviews post tennis matches
@@td6369 Maybe, but not when he is suspected of throwing a match.
That was the first thing I noticed too. Coupled with him wrenching the horses mouth in the last 50m, I’d say that was as clear cut an example of cheating as you’d ever see.
Should be given one year suspension for deliberately losing the race.
@@td6369 that jockey was lying out of is teeth..
Think the stewards took money 28 days UNBELIEVABLE
It is a jockey's responsibility to ride out a race to win, for connections and for the public who have an
interest in the wider context of a funded sport. The style of riding here suggests that this responsibility
was not uppermost in the rider's mind. I recall a famous rider from yesteryear who repeatedly looked
over his left shoulder albeit that his mount had the rail immediately to his left, and was beaten by a
horse coming up on his right side.
He is pulling on the horse so much the horses head goes down. Why would a jockey do that before the finish line? Every other jockey is trying to get their horse to go faster.
He pull it 6 stride from line he allway been fixer in India burnt the stands down here it honest mistake
It certainly was not a ' MISTAKE'.
What is 28 days ban compared to many 10s of Thousands he got paid for 'Race Fixing'?
It's just unlucky for this jockey to get caught out this time but, it begs the Question:=
How many Races had he fixed over the years?
The pain is there is a place in racing for cheating jockeys. They are in demand from cheating owners, cheating trainers, cheating bookies and in some areas, the cheating industry itself. We the cheated punters will move on and all the cheaters know this. Sound familiar? Politics in speed motion.
When he is back, he will be engaged to ride and this time win with a good horse when the general punters dismiss it.
Not condoning this practice, can we avoid this? Good to be in the know though. Happy punting (if you can) when you can afford it (being cheated every now and then). Well, my 20cents worth of info. sharing.
As he crept up inside he was looking other way 🤔🤔🤔
He looked under his left arm and saw the eventual winner coming. He's a snake and should be banned for life just like Stephen Lee was in snooker for fixing results.
Where’s the punters apology?
Fixed big time
This jockey has rode Some VERY dodgy races in the past it just proves they can away with cheating even when they are not clever enough to hide themselves pulling a horse and of course the punter gets Pissed on every time
Any chance someone in racing would ever apologise to punters for anything
It must be the betting on running trick once again lol
Pat got ten times more money from throwing the race than what he would've gotten if he won
What odds was concorde
1/6
Bookiezs should give money back or void race yes it happens life go on
He certainly looked like he was waiting and urging another to hurry up and catch him up,should never ease up until you’ve crossed the line unless you’re allegedly purposely pulling up for another horse to come and collar you on the line.
Well, I know tiddly squat about racing, just wanted to see what they're talking about & it looked like he was cruising most of the race. The other riders pushing hard, his body is hardly moving. As for casually looking about him....well, he shouldn't & the guy who won looked very close. EDIT He did the same in 2014, see video.
Pat rode a horse called Sparked about a week ago, and ifvyou ever wanted evidence that a man was either (A) crooked or (B) unable it's the ride he gave that horse. Inexplicably tardy, complicated and unbalanced. Pat you either have a problem, or you're taking us for mugs.
No metter only 28 days
Butt I think This banned 5 year
He won't be the first , he won't be the last !
I refuse to believe that Pat who's been riding horses for 20+ years didn't know that other horse was coming up the inside. Cantering on the bridle and just gets bowled on by.
There all at it fixing races
That's because he didn't 'not know'. He knew exactly what he was doing. "No one" looks over their shoulders that much left right left right all the way up the straight "unless they're deliberately wanting us to think they believe they've got the others well and truly covered". And no one eases up that far from the post when they're no more than a length in front. And if you watch the slow mo closely, he actually ever so slightly tries to pull it up (his wrists pull back slightly as do his elbows) as he sees the horse on the inside with his peripheral vision. And also, you can see he deliberately does not look to his left when the horse on the inside moves up beside him as well because he knew it was there and didn't want us to know he knew. Obviously he could see it with his peripheral vision (he's not Red Pollard) but he remains motionless because he wants us to believe he didn't see it. We know he saw it but we can't prove it. Even after the post he feigns this "look of disbelief", it's hilarious. That aside, if he hadn't have kept looking over his shoulders up the straight, then he'd have had NO excuse and he knew it. So, ultimately the key here was that his contant looking over his shoulders left and right (mainly right) was deliberate as it was intended to create reasonable doubt to his advantage in everybody's mind. As in; 'his last slight glance to the left made us think he couldn't possibly have known he could get beaten by the horse on his inside, and that he thought his main danger was to his right'. That's exactly what he wanted us to think. It was all a very very masterfully executed & absolutely perfectly-timed ploy by an amazing horseman and an even more amazing actor. He's laughing alright!
@@headmasterritual957
Well put Jimmy.
There are comments on here that actually think it was simply..."jockey error".
What this c u next Tuesday of a jockey done was create..."reasonable doubt".
ANYONE of an open mind,knows what happened here,but that..."reasonable doubt" makes those of a close mind THINK, "it looks bad,but the jockey just made a genuine "mistake".
We all know he pulled a scam here,but even with video evidence,we cannot categorically say....
"We wuz robbed".
A total disgrace.
@@milolee1725I rarely comment on anything these days Milo but I felt compelled to here given there were so many commenters who clearly actually believed it was a genuine mistake. When I watched it, it was just SO obvious as to why he was glancing left and right all the time. I mean who the hell does that all the way up the straight? It was simply a sign that something bizarre was about to happen (granted, I knew that as well from the video description). You're right; the fact is that anyone with at least half a brain (you put it more diplomatically) knows he did it deliberately but no one can ever prove it because of "how it was executed". Since he's not retarded, he's not blind in his left eye and he's not deaf in his left ear, if i was 'the stewards", I'd have given him a life ban AND a "standing ovation" as he departed the stewards' room as he's quite literally, a genius. The fact that he only got 28 days (supposedly) means they're all in on it basically. And as for his interview performance; stupendous!
@@headmasterritual957
Hi Jimmy.
Eloquently put,even though I feel that you were holding back with what you really wanted to write and it would have contained a whole heap of words beginning with F', and C's !
Apparently he has serious previous with the same kind of thing a while back. Just the previous added to this SHOULD have got him 12 months....minimum.
I am a carer for older guys in the very twilight of their days,but before,I was a support worker for teens/adults with serious drug issues.
I will say this as diplomatically(!) as I can.
When I first watched this video,it was like going back in time when I use to sit with those same teens/young adults about trying to find a road away from where they were.
I forgot the scam this guy pulled and was shaking my head in disbelief at his demeanour.
How those stewards only asked him questions about the race is simply beyond me.
At the end of the day he did stop the horse not just easing down should of got 6 months
What about sorry to the punters? I get human error can happen but jeez that was a joke
Its called gambling
Not winning.
28 days is a joke should have been a year i had a bet of 500 on that
Jockey was looking to his right and saw three horses. He KNEW the fourth horse was on his left, next to rail.
absouletely unbelievable
He should be banned for life, very disgusting and dishonest ride😮
Unbelievable blatant dishonest riding.if i were the owner i would never let him ride my horse again.
Worst interview ever…get him to explain what he’s playing at…CHEATING AT ITS FINEST
One of the unlucky one he got caught there pulling horse's every day
This clearly looks like incompetence and not crooked... Doughnut!
I don't get why though if he'd ridden it the last 50 yards and won by half a length he wouldn't have gone up more in the handicap absolute maximum a lb. If the owners have lumped there gonna struggle to recoup now because it will be 1/16 next time out that.
Everyone on here saying Pat Cosgrove is fiddling n fixed the race are just talking thru their pockets . If a jockeys looking to lose on purpose there are plenty of ways to do it without making it blindingly and stupidly obvious like that . He's just tried to win by as small a margin as possible to keep the handicap mark good but it's completely backfired on him and he's messed up.
You are correct, looks great when they win on the bridle, and when it goes wrong everyone jumps on the bandwagon and say the race was fixed, pat got it wrong and i feel for the pundits who had bet on the horse
Maybe so, but isn't that finagling of its own sort, not least with "form" in future races to consider?
He thought he won the race with ease.. relaxing at the end and pulling on the horse before the finish.. silly silly.
He already got banned for 6 months for, fixing, so the guy has previous
@@leehoward8570 It has happened in the past trying to win on the bridle, and he had the guts to come on racing uk
28 days what a joke
I would never put money on a horse again if a pit money on that shockin
Wow, I didn’t see that coming. Seems pretty severe for overlooking the competition on the inside. But I thought the outside horse was the real threat and so did he. He never looked left. That horse must have been a long shot.
"He never looked left"?!
Are you blind?
Look at the whole race again.
He KNEW there was a horse on the inside as he gave a sly look on his left!
THAT was gonna be his "excuse".
"I never saw the horse on the inside,as I thought the horse on my right was the only danger!.
YOU, fell for his b.s.

@@milolee1725 Exactly man. I think old fossil head has an extra chromosome.
Not even any good at what he DID do
1 to 6 favourite FFS punters or mugs ?
Absolute disgrace, life time ban
In the U.S. they stick horses with three length leads all the way to the wire. Let alone that close. Looks like the horse drifted in the end.
That's a fooking disgrace, long odds on should have won easily but he decides to pull the reins, he did not mention the punters who would have piled into this believing they would have won easy money, maybe he should have refunded those punters that backed it.
if you can lump loads on a 1/6 fav then you do not need the money
Ban atleast 3 years
What a joking? At least banned him 28 Weeks & fined amount of money.
Prat!! Fully deserved ban. Painful seeing jockeys carry out this nonsense.......'ohhh but the handicapper'....Behave.
Disgraceful behavior and disgraceful apology. Should have been banned for longer and bets on Concorde voided......
The more I watch this race .The worse it gets.
there is a lot more doing the same thing, but he got caught, Lingfield is the worst place, I used to work in racing, and I see it all the time
“I made a judgement of error” ?? He’s Irish I believe.
28 days for making a mistake. Can’t see why. Shouldn’t it be for the trainer and owners to decide whether they want him to ride for them again.
I agree.
Bollocks. He's a cheat. Should have won 5 lengths
No sorry that’s not how it works I’m afraid. Mistake or not he broke the rules of racing. If you break the rules in any sport you can expect a sanction of some sort and this case is no exception.
I felt bad for him. I don't think for one second that he tried to lose. He was trying not to win by more than necessary, probably because the horse is a handicapper, so you want to keep the weights down. He was unlucky. Still, you have to protect the punters in a sport where betting is the lifeblood, You can't have even he appearance of race fixing. The ban seems about right.
Bookies must love punters like you.
That's why Cosgrove doesn't remain in top jobs.
This is a shocker. Bolted up next time. . could have got a lot longer ban
Should be at least a two year ban. This prick should have every single punter questioning this sport. This should be punished with a criminal offence.
12 months he should have got ,image all the punters who had him an accumulator, or straight bet ,he never apologized to them .
Cheat ban him for life at a Micky mouse course come on
It was a mistake. He didn’t do it on purpose. You obviously know Jack shit about horse racing
I loss huge amount in the race😢
lost
That wasn't human error. Did they check betting action on the winner?
He can now go and collect his winnings but the poor punters Can’t.
He lost by a nose,
Punters not very happy.😠🙈😆😡
No apology to the thousands of punters who had the horse in multis etc...absolute cretin. Ban him for a year...
Would be interesting to see what the lay bets were on that horse before the off lol
Not really, because there were no irregular betting patterns whatsoever, so very UNinteresting is the word 👍🏽
@@goonervillegonad3662 you know nothing goon boy
@@goonervillegonad3662yes because the winner of the race wasnt fixed, just that the 1/6 shot concord wouldnt. The betting patterns would have been normal, likely big bets on Concord and the bookies clean up

Each And Everyone Of Them Are On Fiddle
Horrible mistake by the jockey but the worst mundane race call EVER!
Although it's most probably a terrible mistake there's no real excuse for a experience jockey doing this, I feel sorry for those who would have gone in heavy believing this was printing money.

I would ban him for 28 years and make him pay back all the punters he robbed.
That's why I've gone to many events and never put a plugged-nickel on a horse because the horse has a jockey and they have many tools in their bag to fix a race.
