About
Oban, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Karen D Nicholson in Cambridge. He is out of the mare Keltara and sired by Impending. To date, Oban has recorded two victories. His most notable triumph came on 23 Jul 2025 at Cambridge, where he captured the $27,500 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight With Allowances. Throughout his campaign he has been a rewarding prospect for bettors, delivering a 19% return on investment for those who backed him from the start.
