Leading jockey Hugh Bowman has been outed for almost two months after an inquiry into the fall at Rosehill on Wednesday which left three jockeys injured.

A battered and bruised Jeff Lloyd made an appearance at the stewards inquiry and viewed the incident of which he had no recollection.

Lloyd suffered concussion and was sporting a black eye and cuts to his face as well as a swollen hand.

Peter Robl suffered a broken vertebra when his horse came down after it was unable to avoid Lloyd's fallen mount while Blake Shinn broke his wrist.

Bowman admitted he had shifted out on to Rodney Quinn's horse which subsequently bumped Lloyd's but said he believed he was entitled to do so and that Lloyd's horse had contributed to its own misfortune.

"I am not a rider who throws caution to the wind," Bowman said.

"I am as safe as anyone and I made the movement with care and the utmost respect for the other riders and horses.

"I can't be held solely responsible for the terrible outcome."

Lloyd expects to be out of the saddle for about two weeks, Robl and Shinn for six weeks.

Shinn's partner, fellow jockey Kathy O'Hara, suffered a shoulder injury in a fall in a previous race but hopes to be riding this weekend.

Lloyd had already booked a holiday to Fiji with his family and leaves on Monday.

"My head still spins a bit when I lie down but apart from the black eye and a sore hand I'm fine," he said.

"We'll go on holiday and I hope to be back riding on Boxing Day."

Bowman, who is currently the equal leader on the Sydney premiership, will begin his ban on December 21 and return on February 12 next year.

Coincidentally, Australian racing authorities have agreed to set up a scheme to help fund personal insurance and compulsory public liability premiums for jockeys.

The Australian Jockeys' Association (AJA) met with the Australian Racing Board in Sydney on Friday to push for one per cent of prizemoney to be directed into the scheme.

AJA chief Paul Innes said the ARB had agreed to establish the national scheme by July 1 next year which equated to about $3.7 million annually.

A date has been set for jockey Hugh Bowman's appeal against the severity of a 27-meeting ban, Racing NSW announced on Monday.

Bowman's appeal will be heard on January 5, almost a month after he was suspended when stewards found him guilty of causing a three-horse fall at Rosehill.

Three jockeys - Blake Shinn, Jeff Lloyd and Peter Robl - were injured when their mounts crashed to the turf during a Sydney midweek meeting on December 10.

Bowman has reportedly engaged high-profile Sydney lawyer Geoff Bellew to represent him at the hearing.

The rider, who partnered wonder filly Samantha Miss to win the Crown Oaks during the Melbourne spring carnival, leads this season's Sydney jockeys' premiership with 39 wins.

Unless he is successful in having the suspension shortened, Bowman will not be able to ride again until February 12.

As it now stands, the suspension rules Bowman out of next month's Magic Millions carnival.

But he would be free to ride at Randwick's February 14 meeting featuring the $150,000 Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) - a Group Two semi-classic slated as a potential return race for Samantha Miss.

上訴:fff: :fff:

有無片睇

布文上訴駁回

Hugh Bowman has lost his appeal against the severity of a two-month suspension for careless riding in an incident in which three horses fell and their three jockeys were injured.

The fall at Rosehill on December 10 resulted in Peter Robl suffering a broken vertebrae, Blake Shinn a broken wrist and Jeff Lloyd concussion and bruising.

Lloyd returned to the saddle on New Year's Day while Robl and Shinn will be sidelined for some weeks to come.

Bowman, who was leading the Sydney premiership when he began his ban on December 15, will be able to return to riding on February 7, the day the Group Two Expressway Stakes is run.

Star filly Samantha Miss, one of Bowman's prized autumn rides, is expected to make her race return the following week in the Light Fingers Stakes.

At the inquiry into the incident, Bowman admitted he had shifted out on to Rodney Quinn's horse which subsequently bumped Lloyd's mount but said he believed he was entitled to do so.

Lloyd's horse came down and Robl and Shinn were unable to steer their mounts clear and also fell.

Bowman won the race on Withoutme.

The Racing NSW appeal panel agreed the stewards' ban of 27 meetings should stand.

27個 Meeting 好好休息

Samantha Miss 準備換人中
