Which would be a massive shame because we are talking about a rider lengths better than the opposition.
Bosson has never been racing's best and most dedicated waster and he's never denied that.
The upside of that is wasting has never been able to undermine one of Bosson's main attributes - the ability to show up on raceday and ride with a magnificently calm and focused attitude.
Never do you see in Bosson the fried, jerky jockey who has been made to resemble a raceday dried prune by wasting.
But Saturday was tough.
"I got really light-headed, but the main problem was severe cramping."
Typically, Bosson shoulders the blame.
"I had a pretty easy week, I've got to pull my finger out really."
Bosson and his partner, jockey Danielle Johnson, jointly own a property near Pukekohe from which they trade livestock, something Danielle's father Peter Johnson was deeply involved with even when riding successfully at the top end.
Bosson has three times won the New Zealand jockeys' premiership. He currently sits in eighth place, but with just 121 he has by far the least number of rides among the top 23 jockeys and his strike rate of 4.84 is considerably better than any other rider.
That wasn't a Telegraph field Barbaric beat in last Friday's $50,000 Levin Stakes at Otaki, but it was a Telegraph performance.
The sprint Barbaric produced to pick up the leaders in the home straight, when his chance looked forlorn at the 250m, was fabulous.
It made the attractive chestnut's record five wins from 11 starts.
He has had soundness issues, but trainer Stephen Marsh says he has pulled through this race better than any of his previous runs.
"He and Lucia Valentina left Otaki after 6pm and didn't get home [Cambridge] until after midnight, so it was a tough day.
"But when I pulled him out of his box on Saturday morning he was loose and free in his action. It was terrific to see."
Marsh's job now is to get Barbaric into the Telegraph at Trentham with as light a weight as possible.
"We don't want to miss out because he doesn't have enough weight to make the field, but we'll have to be careful how we do it.
"I'm not keen on winning a $20,000 handicap just to get him in. We'll have to be patient."
Form students took another lesson on the importance of relative weights in racing when Lady Kipling and Postmans Daughter produced the quinella result in Saturday's $70,000 Eagle Technology Stakes.
Under the set weights and penalties conditions of the race the two mares received a luxury 55kg weighting.
Under normal handicapping conditions they each would have carried something like 3kg more.
The effect was obvious, particularly in the case of Postmans Daughter, who took a close second even though forced to race three wide without cover throughout.
Postmans Daughter will line up for what seems like the 47th week running in this week's Captain Cook Stakes.
Few are riding better than Rory Hutchings, who scored a winning treble at Ellerslie on Saturday.
He is a patient rider and can extract plenty out of them in a tight finish.
