Britain's Professional Jockeys Association has expressed concerns over the judicial processes of the Emirates Racing Authority for its handling of the Pat Cosgrave affair.

A British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel decided not to reciprocate Cosgrave's four-month suspension for improper riding in the Group One Jebel Hatta.

His mount, Anaerobio, drifted off the rail as his Mike de Kock-trained stablemate Vercingetorix came through to win.

The ban was initially six months, but reduced to four on appeal.

The BHA panel's findings concentrated on whether Cosgrave's case had been applied with "the laws of natural justice" and if Cosgrave should have been allowed to review old evidence, or bring in new evidence.

It felt Cosgrave "was not given a sufficient chance to present evidence to the appeal panel which could have had an effect on their conclusions".

PJA chief executive Paul Struthers welcomed the BHA's findings but said they would continue to fight the ERA's finding Cosgrave should pay STG35,000 ($A63,886)costs.

"We are not aware of any other jurisdiction that awards such punitive and unreasonable costs for failed, let alone successful, first stage appeals when those appeals have merit," Struthers said.

"The ERA's approach to appeal panel costs goes against the principles of fairness and reasonableness, and appears to be against common UAE legal practice.

"We have therefore written to the ERA requesting that they withdraw the costs order against Mr Cosgrave.

said.

Struthers also called on the ERA to undertake a review of its rules and processes.

ERA chief steward Zucal said there would be no comment on the BHA's report until after the Eid al-Fitr holiday, a feast which marks the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan.
