Boban Gives Punters A Fright

Boban staged a remarkable performance to win the Sportingbet Moonga Stakes, similar to his win in the Epsom Handicap a few weeks ago at Randwick.

When he crossed the hill at Caulfield it looked a case of goodnight nurse, we have done our dough.

He was two lengths away last, you rarely win races coming from that far behind, it was a super run and a super ride from Glyn Schofield.

Schofield never left the fence at any stage of the race, content to stay there and ride for luck, there was no other option.

Ironically the runs came at the top of the straight as if there was a touch of magic and Boban was there in a flash.

“All went to plan missing the start, that’s how he won the Epsom and we weren’t going to change things.”

“We were there where we wanted to be, from the gate, we had to snag him back and let him flop out to have any chance.”

“He’s learning to race now from a better barrier, I could have put him anywhere today, it was nice to see that with his big weight he really rattled home, his sectionals were strong like a couple of weeks ago,” said jockey Glyn Schofield.

Chris Waller thought he had pulled the wrong rein dropping Boban back to 1400 metres of the Moonga Stakes from the tough mile of the Epsom, he is right on track for the Emirates on the final day at Flemington over a mile, his pet distance.
