FEELING like an outcast and frustrated by a lack of opportunities in Sydney racing, leading jockey Glen Boss has decided to ride permanently in Melbourne.

Boss conceded he has been struggling for rides in Sydney since returning from a successful season in Hong Kong last August.

He will take mounts at the Moonee Valley meeting on Saturday, when he is likely to have as many as six rides, then move to Melbourne and begin riding trackwork from next week.

"I'm not bagging anyone - I've just come to the realisation that I'm not wanted in Sydney," Boss said.

"I feel like a bit of an outcast in Sydney at the moment. I'm struggling to get a ride."

Boss had only one mount at Wyong on Tuesday - Dynamic Lass, which was unplaced in the Heritage Asset Management Handicap -- and is booked for two races at Wednesday's Warwick Farm meeting.

One of his rides is Dynamic Lass, who is most unlikely to back up in the Schofields Handicap.

His other mount is the John Hawkes-trained Ramani, a $13 chance in the Randwick Betting Auditorium Handicap.

Boss is renowned for his professionalism and is extremely popular with punters. He brings flair and excitement to the sport and his decision to move to Melbourne is a real loss to Sydney racing.

"I'm not sure what the problem is. I don't think it's anyone's fault, it is just the way things are in Sydney," Boss continued.

"If you are not going to get regular rides from the three big stables - Gai Waterhouse, Peter Snowden and Chris Waller - then you are on struggle street.

"Plus, the fields in Sydney racing are small and there are not a lot of rides going around anyway.

"It's disappointing because Sydney is home but I've got to look at the move to Melbourne as a new challenge and a new phase in my career."

Boss said he has spoken to many of Melbourne's leading trainers in the past 24 hours and is confident of making a success of the move.

"I'm not one to sit around and wait for things to happen so I'm going to have a fair dinkum crack in Melbourne and see how it goes."

Boss, who has engaged respected Melbourne racing journalist Brendan Cormick as his manager, is regarded as the nation's most outstanding big-race jockey and has enjoyed tremendous success in Melbourne.

A pumped up Glen Boss rode his first winners at his third meeting since moving to Melbourne a week ago when he landed a treble at Moonee Valley on Friday night.

Boss combined with the David Hayes stable for a double on two first starters, scoring aboard Redoute's Choice two-year-old filly Quick Blush in the bookiesonline.com.au Plate (1000m) and Stravinsky three-year-old filly Warm Whispers in the Chris Burke - 2 Of Clubs Plate (1000m).

He brought up the treble on Pins four-year-old Dabble in the IGA Local Heroes Hcp (1200m)for trainer Danny O'Brien.

"The same bloke couldn't get a ride in New South Wales," Boss said.

One of Australia's best jockeys and best known for his three Melbourne Cup wins aboard Makybe Diva, Boss said his opportunities in Sydney dried up after he returned from a stint in Hong Kong.

"I don't know why it happened. I was struggling to get a ride at Wyong or Gosford and it had a snowball effect," he said.

"I was riding bad horses good but people were saying I wasn't riding well or I had lost it and when you are a competitive person and you are sitting on the sidelines it is really frustrating," he said.

Boss said he meant business moving to Melbourne.

"I've come here to work. I'm going to ride a lot of trackwork and just try to rekindle my career again to be honest," he said.

"I actually said to my wife I'm excited about going to the track and I'm excited to be going to the races again.

"I'm stimulated again and I feel I have a lot to offer. I'm actually getting in to a good spot again."

Boss has seven rides on the eight race program at Caulfield on Saturday.

果然拍住希斯搵食:yyy:
