Baz (NZ) 1,722 Report post Posted July 30, 2020 10 minutes ago, Dissident said: The only relevant part might be the fact that it was his first ride back. Shouldn't lessen the punishment but could certainly contribute to making a very poor split second decision. I can't understand why there should be any consideration of the spring carnival or covid. Doesn't sit too well, him moaning about his potential lack of opportunities to earn $ in Spring when his own actions have stopped another jockey from earning any at all for a minimum of 6 months. 6 weeks is ridiculous, particularly when its stated it should be 3 months. And he still thinks he made the right call going for the "gap"?? So wait til next time he makes the same move again? Didn't someone over there get suspended for 2 months just yesterday for not riding a horse out? But a dead horse, seriously injured jockey and narrow escape from further carnage is a more acceptable outcome???! Crazy. JAMES MCDONALD (NZ) 18 Months for betting and winning on his own horse ???? HUGH BOWMAN (AUS) 1.5 Months for killing horse and seriously injuring a Jockey to the costs of Thousands of $$$ to connections.

Sydney jockeys, take some advice from me.........don’t ride in the first race of his comeback in 6 weeks time! I certainly wouldn’t be running one of my horses in the same race if I was based in Covid stricken Australia.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted July 31, 2020 I think if Racing NSW was doing its job, it would appeal the sentence. Don’t be surprised to see Bowman’s mounts being “blocked for a run” when he returns. I think a few Jocks are going to be keeping pretty crowded.

When giving his final submissions Bowman asked stewards to consider the upcoming spring carnival and current COVID-19 pandemic while also conceding he may have been ring rusty last Saturday, his first day back at the races for over a month.

You can hardly blame Bowman for the sentence he got. Once found guilty and considering the damage from such guilt, imho Bowman got off leniently. Birch should have given him longer.

Tauhei Notts 1,413 Report post Posted August 2, 2020 I wrote shortly after the race that if Bowman gets less than six months suspension the stewards will be guilty of bringing racing into disrepute. He got six weeks and the stewards are guilty, as charged. Ever since this happened I have been racking my brain trying to think of a similar occurrence. I can't. It was the worst I have seen.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted September 13, 2020 Re Farnan, It is reported that although Bowman wanted the lead, when he got there, Farnan bolted or took off and he (Bowman) was just a passenger!

scoobysnacks 386 Report post Posted September 14, 2020 It was reported... by Bowman. Of course he's going to say the horse took off, otherwise the blame is 100% on his shoulders. As we have seen with this thread, he doesn't enjoy taking personal responsibility. Memphis2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
