Crosse comes from Cahir in County Tipperary in Ireland. His father Matt Crosse is a former jump jockey and brother Nathan Crosse is a flat-racing jockey. Crosse took part in pony racing and became an apprentice jockey at the yard of trainer Joseph O'Brien while he was still at school.[1][2]
Careeredit
Crosse rode his first winner on 13 April 2018 when steering G Force to victory for trainer Adrian Keatley in a handicap at Naas. That season he was crowned Irish champion apprentice jockey.[1] On 28 September 2019 he won his first Group race on the Joseph O'Brien-trained Speak in Colours in the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh.[3]
The 2020 season brought Crosse his first Group 1 victory, when Pretty Gorgeous won the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket on 9 October. He had previously missed his intended ride on Galileo Chrome in the St Leger Stakes due to a positive COVID-19 test. Galileo Chrome went on to win the race under Tom Marquand.[4]
On 1 May 2022 Crosse won the Group 1 Prix Ganay at Longchamp in Paris on State of Rest, who then provided Crosse with his first Royal Ascot victory when they won the Group 1 Prince of Wales's Stakes on 15 June.[5]
On 1 July 2023 Crosse announced he was retiring from race riding due to weight issues.[6]
