After an excellent debut win, Crosswinds lined up this Friday night in the Listed Moonee Valley Pearl, and gain blew past his rivals for an impressive victory.
Settled worse than midfield under Mark Zahra, Crosswinds accelerated sharply rounding the corner, and quickly found himself challenging for the lead turning in, and sustained his 500m challenge all the way to the line to win again in great style.
He now comes under consideration for the $1 million Showdown at Caulfield on 23rd April, and looks every inch a high-class 3YO sprinter in the making.
He was a $1,100,000 purchase for the JHB Colt Partnership at the 2021 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale, and is out of Gimcrack Stakes winner Gybe. He was offered by Blue Gum Farm, on behalf of Rob Crabtree’s Dorrington Farm.
Congratulations to owners Belinda Bateman, Rob Love, Fergus Doyle, Phil & Glenda Mehrten, Danny & Pauline Saab, John & Frances Ingham, Gary Diamond and Rob & Sylvie Crabtree, and thanks to trainers Anthony and Sam Freedman.
