About

Desert Whisper is a 4yo brown mare from Australia trained by Luke Fernie at Ascot. She is by Rommel out of Faerie Whisper and has amassed seven career wins. On 9th May 2026 at Ascot she claimed her most important victory, the $80000.00 Rtg 72+ Handicap. She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 1% return on investment.
