Opie Bosson picks up Hong Kong contract

Sydney

Friday 19 February 2016, 6:12am

Leading New Zealand jockey Opie Bosson will ride in Hong Kong at the end of the Sydney autumn carnival.

Bosson and Canadian-based Eurico Rosa da Silva are the latest to be called up as Hong Kong racing suffers from a shortage of jockeys.

After riding at Ellerslie at the weekend, Bosson will be on Turn Me Loose in the Group One Futurity Stakes at Caulfield on February 7.

He will return to Australia for Golden Slipper day where he is expected to be reunited with Caulfield Cup winner Mongolian Khan in the Ranvet Stakes.

Kerrin McEvoy will keep the saddle warm for Bosson when Mongolian Khan resumes in the Group One Chipping Norton Stakes on Saturday week.
