About
Oban is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Karen D Nicholson. He is by the stallion Impending out of the mare Keltara and has recorded two victories to date. On 23rd Jul 2025 at Cambridge he secured his biggest win, claiming the $27500.00 prize in the 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight With Allowances. The horse has proven to be a profit‑maker for punters; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 14% return on investment.
