Bossy throws doubtful eye on Pierro in Cox Plate

Glen Boss, who'll ride the NZer Ocean Park in the Cox Plate, is openly questioning whether Pierro is the horse to beat. Bossy reckons the key dangers are Green Moon and More Joyous.He says: 'Pierro might prove me wrong but he had a gut-busting run in the Caulfield Guineas...I know Gai [Waterhouse] is a genius and it's been a couple of weeks, but that colt bottomed-out. Sometimes it is very hard for those horses to bounce back. But he might prove us all wrong. He might come out and blow them away

There are so many different angles, but sometimes people just ignore the obvious because you try and find a way to get them beat and end up talking yourself out of it, and the obvious ones are looking you in the face half the time.''
