Champion jockey Opie Bosson was taken to hospital with symptoms of concussion and complaining of a sore shoulder following a fall at Te Rapa on Wednesday.

The incident occurred just after Bosson’s mount Cicciolina had past the finishing post in third place behind $56-outsider Cherry Lane in the Fairview Motors 1400m.

Bosson lay prone on the track near the outside fence for several minutes before being stretchered to the ambulance and taken to hospital in a conscious state.
