Quality Melbourne galloper Eraset has scored the biggest win of his short career with a brilliant victory in today’s $150,000 Sale Cup (1600m).

Prepared at Flemington by Danny O’Brien, Eraset enhanced his impressive record to five wins from just 10 starts with the runaway victory.

The son of Reset, purchased by his trainer for $120,000 at the 2008 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, made his rivals look second rate as he lengthened away under Glen Boss to win easily.

“There was no real plan really,” Boss said. “I knew I couldn’t be too far back or also too far forward.”

“It’s a very good training performance – it’s been a month between runs.”

“He looked really ready in the parade ring. He looked really ready to race and he ran the mile out very strong.”

“He’s got a great record at the mile on top of the ground.”

“I’ve watched this horse for a long time now and he’s obviously got a great turn off foot.”

“He got into a good spot and I felt like I was going to win the race a long way from home,” Boss summed up.

Boss is best known for winning three Melbourne Cups aboard Makybe Diva, but he said winning feature races on country tracks also gave him a great buzz.

“These country cups are really good,” Boss said. “They put on great prizemoney – particularly the country cups in Victoria.”

“You always get a good field and they’re always nice to win.”

At the post Eraset ($11) held a widening length and three quarter margin over Lakedro ($13), while the other Magic Millions graduate in the race Tagus ($7) was another two lengths back in third place.

A half brother to Eraset by exciting young Danehill sire California Dane is set to go under the hammer at January’s 2011 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

The bay colt is being prepared by the team from Victoria’s Woodside Park Stud and is an attractive youngster.

He is the latest yearling produced by the unraced, but well related Catrail mare This Era.

A daughter of the Caulfield Cup and Australasian Oaks winner Imposera, This Era is a half sister to the group placed Tristera.

Tristera in turn is the dam of the Group One Spring Champion Stakes winner Teranaba.
