Chief Stipe Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Again from David Ellis - seems Opie bought the wrong farm! One person I do feel hugely disappointed for however is our stable rider Opie Bosson. Opie was in the best shape of his life coming into this new season. He was the fittest he had ever been and was the lightest he had weighed in over 20 years. He was ready to go, but at the last-minute Opie was informed that his farm in Pukekawa was under the Auckland Covid Restrictions’ boundary – which was not the case last lockdown. It is so hard for an athlete like Opie to prepare and become so fit and then be unable to execute their plan and their employment. Being unable to ride also greatly impacts his livelihood, which is just so frustrating for him and his lovely family. Keep your chin up, Opie. It won’t be long until we have you back riding trackwork and on race day, and when you do, you are going to really nail it. I have no doubt about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Pukekawa is actually 66km south of Auckland in the Waikato District by 10km but then the Covid boundary goes down the middle of a street in Mercer. Go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
