Both accelerate at the same speed, but the bowling ball completes it’s fall first because the Earth was pulled up to meet it. The bowling ball falls faster not because it’s moving faster, but because it’s fall is shorter.

Unless they’re being let go at the same time at the same place, so the pull difference makes the minuscule difference even more minuscule.
