New Zealand sprinter The Bostonian has added a third Australian Group One win to his record in claiming the Canterbury Stakes.

A two-time Group One winner during last year's Brisbane winter carnival, The Bostonian ran down the Godolphin mare Savatiano in the $500,000 race.

Well-fancied pair Standout and Alizee finished out of the placings in the 1300m contest as Mister Sea Wolf took third.
