On fire at the moment.
I think he will be worth following in the autumn if his on some decent horses.

going well, i've always followed him.  he got Baci Amore up on the weekend and that horse had not been able to do that for about one and a half years, and that win 18 months ago was a 2yo (masterson homes hcp) and it was Hugh's first ever ride on the horse!!

the only certainty in racing is the uncertainty!

What a great try by Hugh yesterday , he lost his irons at the start of the race ,  but gave it every chance to win nevertheless ,he gave the punter and the connections a good run for their money ,he has got to be rated as one of our best riders.

What's the reasoning behind him not riding at the Gold Coast on Saturday? Top jockey. I think his time in England did him a world of good.

Missed out on the ride of Love Conquers All so decided to stay in Sydney.

The thing about Bowman is that not many Victorians and others rate him because he is not able to get many rides in the big races as he rides heavily. If he was lighter, he would be spoken about as one of our best of the last decade. Week in, week out, there is no better in Sydney than Bowman.

I know it's near blasphemy, but i was hoping Bowman got the ride over Beadman. Not sure how the dazzler's form is at the moment in HK, but there's no one in better form than Hughey at the moment.

That was a gun ride from Bowman, from gate 1 he jumps misses the start slightly, then switches off the fence and onto the back of Sindarin.

What happens if you backed Bowman in the jockey challenge? Do you get points for his replacement riders?

He's flying, isn't he. That was a great, patient ride. Knew he had a lapful of horse, just had to take a deep breath and wait. Have already sent the video for Steven king to look at.

Super ride again. 2 roughies tried to make it difficult, wouldn't let him slot in one-out, so Hugh goes forward, then the horse behind the leader tries to come out, and Hughie just pushes it back in...loved it

  Was a riot at the pub today after Bowman rode the first three and then Robl two... everyone was debating whether to back Robl on Bereft or Bowman on Key West...only to have them fight it out...the crowd went crackers because we all decided to quinella them...

when he first rode for Gai...many years ago...he was pretty ordinary....went overseas, came back far more polished and has not looked back since...

 you wouldn't want anyone else on your horse at present...
