Crosshaven and Zebrowski Sold to Hong Kong

Media Release - Wednesday Mar 3

Dual Group Three winner Crosshaven has been sold to Hong Kong interests after his connections accepted an offer that was too good to refuse.

Trained in Australia by Tom Dabernig and Ben Hayes, the three-year-old gelding will join the stable of David Hayes.

The son of Smart Missile leaves Australia with a record of five wins from nine starts and a third-placing in last month’s Gr.1 CF Orr Stakes (1400m).

Crosshaven was bred by Daniel and Elias Nakhle, who remained in the ownership group after he was sold as a yearling through Haunui Farm’s 2019 New Zealand Bloodstock Book 1 draft.

Meanwhile, Zebrowski, runner-up in last year’s Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m), is also destined for Hong Kong after leaving the stable of Team Hawkes.

The four-year-old, who was last seen finishing fifth in the Gr.3 Bendigo Cup (2400m) joins the yard of Casper Fownes after recording two wins from 12 starts in Australia.

Zebrowski was bred by Windsor Park Stud who remained in the original ownership group of the son of Savabeel.
