About
Desert Whisper is a 4yo brown mare from Australia, trained by Luke Fernie at Ascot. She is by Rommel out of Faerie Whisper. She has won seven races so far. On 9 May 2026 at Ascot she claimed her most important victory, collecting the $80000.00 Rtg 72+ Handicap. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have delivered a 12% return on investment.
