Crosshaven found racing at The Valley tricky but the Lindsay Park youngster’s class kept him unbeaten on Saturday.

“He raced really green and really new today,” Stackhouse said.
“He didn’t travel as good as I thought he would through the race and I thought I’d just bring him out early and work him into it with momentum.
“He was awkward around the corner a little bit and I think his class and ability got him through.”
Co-trained Ben Hayes said he and training partner Tom Dabernig would discuss Crosshaven’s short-term future but he said there were suitable races for the gelding early in the new season.
“I have to talk to Tom but I have a feeling that he’ll be running sometime around mid-August,” Hayes, who also trains Crosshaven in partnership with his Hong Kong-bound father David, said.
“There’s also the option maybe to go to the series races at Flemington in June. I’d say we’d be running in August.”
Crosshaven was a NZ$80,000 purchase at last year’s Karaka Sale but has returned more than $66,000 of that price with his two wins.
