Bosson’s suspension stands
Racing: Champion jockey Opie Bosson is set to miss New Zealand’s richest race meeting, the Karaka Million at Ellerslie on Saturday, after his High Court appeal against careless riding charges was unsuccessful yesterday.
Bosson received two suspensions for careless riding at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day and had already failed in a bid to reduce the severity of the bans in which he was outed until January 30.
The champion hoop rode the winner of both $1 million races last year.
Bosson has been aboard the past four Karaka Million 2YO winners for the Te Akau team. — NZ Racing Desk
