Chief Stipe Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hugh Bowman is set to resume normal duties after forfeiting weekend rides at Flemington and Canberra because of a family illness. Bowman left Flemington on Saturday before the Australian Cup to fly back to Sydney when he found out his wife Christine was ill and needed medical attention. He was due to ride favourite Avilius in the Cup with the horse subsequently fifth in the 2000-metre race won by Harlem. Racing Victoria stewards said yesterday they had again spoken to Bowman, who told them his wife was recovering. He gave up rides at the Black Opal meeting in Canberra but will be back in the saddle from today. Early on Saturday Bowman partnered Godolphin mare Alizee in a raceday gallop ahead of Saturday’s A$5 million All-Star Mile at Flemington.
