Capitalist colt Eros has had some near misses in his short career to date, running into some smart gallopers, and this weekend at Morphettville there was no problems with him breaking his maiden at Saturday grade in great style by over two lengths.
Settled in behind the speed by rider Todd Pannell, he strolled up to challenge in the straight and powered clear for an impressive win.
Eros was secured for the JHB Colt Partnership at the 2020 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale from the Northmore Thoroughbreds draft for $340,000 and looks another smart colt for his exciting sire going forward. He will now head towards the Group 3 Vain Stakes over 1100m at Caulfield on Saturday 13th August, where his race fitness should stand him in great stead against a field of mostly resuming rivals.
Thanks to trainers Anthony and Sam Freedman, and congratulations to owners Rob Love, Belinda Bateman, Fergus Doyle, Phil & Glenda Mehrten, Danny & Pauline Saab, John & Frances Ingham and Gary Diamond.
