YOU would like to walk in Matt Dominello's shoes.

Dominello's a successful businessman with diverse interests, operating a couple of gymnasiums, owns magazines, has a consultancy firm — and he's a shareholder in emerging superstar Boban.

"I keep myself busy but during spring and autumn my focus is on horse racing,'' Dominello said.

And with good reason as Boban chases his fourth Group 1 win in the $1 million George Ryder Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday.

This is likely to be Boban's final lead-up run before the $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) during The Championships at Royal Randwick on April 19 where the Chris Waller-trained gelding is challenging for favouritism.

As part of an innovative Tabcorp promotion, there's an opportunity to join Dominello and the horse's other part-owners on a ride of a lifetime this autumn carnival.

One lucky TAB customer will enter the realm of champions by winning a five per cent share in Boban for the Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

In what is described as the ultimate "money can't buy'' experience for most racing fans, the lucky winner will enjoy an access all areas pass and become one of the ownership group for the day.

Best of all, this opportunity is open to everyone whether you are a punter or not. Go to www.jointeamboban.com.au from Monday (March 31) to register for your chance to win this once in a lifetime prize.

"We are delighted to be giving someone the chance for an experience that they haven't had before or are likely to have again," TAB's general manager marketing and communications, Glenn Lee said.

The lucky winner will be taken into the inner sanctum of the Boban ownership group and become one of them.

Waller said Boban's preparation for the Queen Elizabeth Stakes is back on track after the gelding bounced back from two unplaced runs to win the Chipping Norton Stakes last start.

"It was hard to tell if he was where we wanted him to be after his first two runs back, however, he proved he was spot on with his victory in the Chipping Norton," Waller said. "Hopefully he will be going into the Queen Elizabeth with another win next to his name."

Boban is raced in partnership by a syndicate of friends including Mark Pejic and John O'Neill of Mummify fame.

Dominello guarantees the winner of the TAB Boban promotion will have a memorable experience at the Queen Elizabeth Stakes next month.

"The group of people who race Boban are a lot of fun,'' Dominello said.

"It is great owning a horse with such a good group of people, we feed off each other and it adds to the excitement on a raceday.
