Bowman must be kiddin himself if he thinks he did no wrong here. Absolute crap.... is what he stated to the stewards imo below

"Rider H Bowman stated that in the early stages when he was positioned outside Rothfire he observed its rider J Byrne not showing a positive intention to hold the lead and he therefore elected to ride Farnan forward to lead. He stated that after riding his mount in this manner Farnan commenced to race keenly and took charge which resulted in the colt setting very fast early sectionals"
Crap

Full stewards report for Farnan
RACE 6: De Bortoli Wines Run To The Rose 1200m (Group 2):
Farnan – An inquiry was opened into the tactics adopted on the colt and in particular the fast pace set throughout
the early stages of the event. Rider H Bowman stated he was issued with no specific instructions however the
stable had expected the colt to either lead or race outside the other on pace runner Rothfire. Rider H Bowman
stated that in the early stages when he was positioned outside Rothfire he observed its rider J Byrne not showing
a positive intention to hold the lead and he therefore elected to ride Farnan forward to lead. He stated that after
riding his mount in this manner Farnan commenced to race keenly and took charge which resulted in the colt
setting very fast early sectionals (1000m to the 800m 10.34, 800m to 600m 10.88). Co-trainer Mr A Bott confirmed
the nature of the instructions and advised there was no requirement for the colt to hold the lead.
The inquiry was adjourned to a date to be fixed so Stewards could consider the evidence provided.
A post-race veterinary examination revealed the colt to be slow to recover.
