Tye Angland continued his amazing winter ride when he lifted Hadaaf to a thrilling victory in the Listed Civic Stakes at Rosehill on Saturday, but the race was one to forget for Sydney's leading jockey Hugh Bowman.
In a great day of racing at a sunny Rosehill, Peter Snowden moved within 1-1/2 wins of Gai Waterhouse in the exciting battle for the Sydney trainers' premiership while Corey Brown kept things interesting in the jockeys' premiership with a brace of winners.
Brown moved within seven of Bowman in the premiership race which concludes at Warwick Farm on July 31.
Bowman, who failed to ride a winner at the meeting, rode $3.70 favourite Strat's Flyer in the Civic Stakes and got stuck behind a wall of horses in the closing stages and never got out, finishing just under two lengths ninth from the Joe Pride-trained winner who started at $17 in the 1400-metre feature.
Bowman was called in by stewards who agreed he had no luck on Strat's Flyer but would have won the race if he had.
"I was just stuck there," said Bowman who was fifth on the turn to the inside of the winner.
"If I could have established myself to the inside of Hadaaf I think I would have won the race, wouldn't you agree?" Bowman asked chief steward Ray Murrihy.
Murrihy agreed with Bowman but said the result was not "terribly pretty".
Angland, 19, was thrilled with Hadaaf who defeated the fast-finishing Cruisy Lady ($71) by a half-neck with Synonym ($7) a short half-head third.
The young jockey enjoyed a massive Brisbane carnival which included his first Group One win in the Stradbroke Handicap aboard Black Piranha at Eagle Farm last month.
"It's been unbelievable, I won three stakes races up there and a Group One and now this, everything's going so well but I need to keep working hard to keep it going," Angland said.
Pride said Hadaaf would have his next start in the Listed $100,000 Winter Stakes at Rosehill in two weeks.
Brown, who is taking a family holiday to Bali next week, will miss Wednesday and Saturday's Randwick meetings.
The hoop brought up his double with a narrow victory aboard the Snowden-trained Deutsche who defeated stablemate Tollemache by a half-head in the Bells At Killcare Handicap (1350m).
Waterhouse only had one runner at the meeting, Fusakeo who led at the turn but failed to run on and ran last to Deutsche.
Snowden was pleased to peg one back on his rival.
"We're getting there slowly," Snowden said before producing a broad smile.
Earlier, Brown's mount Bay Window defeated Bowman's ride Without Compromise by a neck to win the Inghams Love'em Handicap (1500m).
Chris Munce celebrated a winning treble when he scored on the Chris Waller-trained First Look after earlier wins aboard Teasing from the Tim Martin yard and the Peter Moody three-year-old Ishant.
