The Fairfield West-based trainer was already on a high when Special Quality, the sister of No Bob Rob, won the race prior the Ladbrokes Maiden Series Heat 2.
Stojanov said his one-year-old dog had been a bit unlucky in his past two and only starts, where he picked up a second and third place finish.
"He's a decent dog but he's just been unlucky in his previous starts at Goulburn and Richmond," he said.
"I always knew he had a bit of a motor, but he and the litter are just a bit over the top at the moment.
"They're either going to settle down in the next couple of runs or that's the way they're going to be.
"They are honest dogs and keen chases."
No Bob Rob, who was backed at $4 odds by the bookies, jumped well at the start and never looked back, as he was rarely challenged in the 307 metres race and won by 1.75 metres.
Evalute ($4) followed in second, followed by $3.40 favourite Hillbilly Fusion in the third and final placing.
No Bob Rob, as well as his sister Special Quality, will be back in Bathurst next Monday after the two qualified for the final.
Stojanov did have a runner in the first heat in the meeting - Wild Stallion - but he came in third, missing out on a final spot that is awarded to the top greyhounds.
The first heat was won by Brockie's Charm, who was too good, finishing 6.25 metres ahead of second.
