Bowman rides 5-timer in Sydney

Australian jockey Hugh Bowman rode five winners at Saturday's meeting at Randwick racecourse in Sydney.

The 39-year-old best known for his association with the Champion mare Winx narrowly missed out on a sixth winner in the final contest on the nine race card when going down by a neck.

The pick of Bowman's winners with regard to the future could be Yonkers which won by the narrowest of margins in the Coolmore sponsored staying handicap.

The winning rider said afterwards: "I'm not saying he's a Melbourne Cup horse but he's certainly going to be up to the better staying races in the spring."

The four-year-old son of Medaglia D'Oro was scoring for the fourth time in fourteen starts.
