Jockey Pat Cosgrave has been cleared to ride pending his appeal to the British Horseracing Authority not to reciprocate a four-month ban handed out by the Emirates Racing Authority.

Cosgrave was found guilty of a blatant breach of the rule regarding improper riding for his performance on the Mike de Kock-trained Anaerobio at Meydan in March.

The jockey was found to have moved his mount off the rail in the straight to allow stablemate Vercingetorix through on the inside to win the Group One Jebel Hatta, with Anaerobio eventually third.

Cosgrave was initially banned for six months by the ERA but that was reduced to four months following an appeal.

However, Cosgrave has asked the BHA not to impose the suspension in England and will be free to ride until his appeal is heard.

"The Disciplinary Panel have directed that the penalty imposed on Pat Cosgrave by ERA should not apply in Britain for two weeks, or until non-reciprocation application is heard, whichever is first," the BHA said.
