The Result
Glorious Goodwood · Thu 30 Jul
She lent them a race and kept the mystery.
3rd of 9 · Nassau Stakes
For six furlongs she floated along the rail as if the whole thing were somebody else’s idea, then decided, somewhere past the two pole, that third would do. The mist came in off the Downs twenty minutes later. Make of that what you like.
The Story
Ghost-grey, mercurial and fragile-brilliant. On her day Whispering Wind is untouchable; on others she simply will not try. Only Elsie Hart truly understands her, and a devoted cult following love her precisely because nobody can predict what she will do next.
Drama Rating
9/10
The Rivalry
The two-greys debate against half-sister Silk Sovereign, plus a gentle stablemate rivalry with Golden Furlong for top billing at Saltgrass.
