Victorian jockey Glen Boss is no certainty to retain the ride on Ocean Park when the Matamata galloper embarks on an international campaign next year, with trainer Gary Hennessy considering Kiwi jockeys.
The dust has barely settled on Ocean Park's spectacular spring carnival, which netted four straight group one wins, including the Cox Plate, but plans are already in motion for an overseas odyssey that will include a trip to Dubai on World Cup Night and England's Royal Ascot.
With Ocean Park's status as a future stallion already secured in Australasia, Hennessy, a part-owner, is keen to promote his brilliant galloper to the Northern Hemisphere, opening up the possibility of becoming a shuttle-stallion.
Boss, who rode Ocean Park in all four runs in Melbourne, will be thrown into the mix on a list that will also include Kiwi jockeys Opie Bosson, Leith Innes and Lisa Allpress among others.
"We've got a few good riders in New Zealand at the moment and they could do the job if required," Hennessy told the Herald Sun. "A decision hasn't been made yet but we have a few options."
