Rawiller and Bowman suspended at Rosehill

Saturday 21 December 2013, 6:53pm

Leading Sydney riders Nash Rawiller and Hugh Bowman will both have extended Christmas holidays after copping suspensions at Rosehill on top of bans they received at Randwick.

Rawiller, who was suspended at Friday's twilight meeting, got another four for causing interference in Saturday's two-year-old race and will miss next month's Magic Millions carnival at the Gold Coast.

He had already lost second place on protest in the Golden Gift and pleaded guilty to causing the interference.

"I throw myself at your mercy," Rawiller said.

"I've hit a flat spot."

Rawiller can return on January 18 while Bowman's ban puts him out until January 8.

Bowman also pleaded guilty but suggested because it was Christmas perhaps stewards could be lenient and let him serve the suspensions concurrently.

That brought a laugh but it was a no go with the two bans to be served cumulatively.

Bowman must also front an inquiry on Monday into his ride on Fulminate at Canterbury eight days ago.

Trainer David Vandyke said he had instructed the jockey to be in a forward position but Fulminate came from the back of the field to finish 1-3/4 lengths behind all-the-way winner Darci Drama.
