Chris Waller described Boban as a superstar after his impressive win in the Group 1 Emirates Stakes at Flemington, a quote that could not be questioned.

Boban was the excitement machine over the spring carnival, first at Caulfield in the Moonga Stakes when he came from last, after missing the start, to win comfortably, and winning again on Saturday.

His future will be carefully monitored, he certainly will be entered for the Doncaster, weight would determine whether he ran in the mile, with its attractive prize money, or he goes down the path of weight for age.

Whilst drifting in the betting he remained favourite, however, you would have received much better odds in running when his chances of winning looked forlorn with 200 metres to run.

He arrived here with a good reputation having won at his three previous starts, including the Epsom Handicap when he was left at the barrier and had to come right down the outside rail to get a crack at the leaders.

Waller admitted he gave up on the horse before he was gelded, he has since gone from a benchmark 90 to a Group1 star.

He certainly has weight for age potential and a likely leading contender for the Cox Plate next spring, all going well.
