00:00You know, I think Wicked Whisper is really the perfect opportunity, perfect package for
00:22many buyers around the world.
00:24She's a grade one winner at two.
00:27She's got a brilliant, brilliant physical confirmation.
00:30She's got the looks and she's got the attributes to be a game changer from a broodmare perspective.
00:41I think the one quality of Wicked Whisper that stands out to me is just that precocity.
00:48She broke her maiden at Saratoga by six lengths, was tabbed a TD and rising star.
00:54Anytime you can win by daylight in Saratoga, you have to have an extremely high level of
01:00ability.
01:01She went on from there to be a grade one stakes winner at two, winning the frisette, broke
01:07sharply, went to the front, and was in cruise control from there on out.
01:12I mean, she just wired the field and really was a commanding performance.
01:18And she carried that confidence in a lot of her races, and I think that's one of her attributes
01:23and qualities from her performances that stands out to me.
01:31It's really unusual to see a filly with her size and her length and her physical characteristics
01:37be able to translate that into such early and brilliant performances as a two-year-old.
01:42She certainly had several wow performances during her racing career.
01:46Wicked Whisper was bought and campaigned by Alex and Joanne Leblanc.
01:52They bought her as a yearling.
01:55Alex buys a tremendous physical, and I mean, Wicked Whisper is just drop-dead gorgeous.
02:03She's big, she's pretty, has an unbelievable shoulder, great hind leg.
02:07She commands your attention.
02:09She was a half a million dollar yearling.
02:11And this is a special filly for them.
02:14Now, she's got an unbelievable pedigree.
02:19The depth of her pedigree is sensational.
02:22She's got sisters that are some high-quality sisters that'll be producing, and are producing
02:28now and will be producing for many, many years.
02:31But it has the opportunity to kind of explode and expand exponentially over the next decade
02:35as well.
02:36And certainly, she's the type that can produce any type of runner.
02:40She's got every ingredient to be a foundation mare for somebody, bred to be a prolific brood
02:48mare down the line, being by Liam's Map, out of a Bernardini mare, and carrying her
02:54first foal to Curlin, who is having arguably his best year ever.
03:00I mean, just a banner year.
03:04We thought it was a perfect cross for her, not only had it worked in the family before
03:08with Point of Honor, but I mean, he's just a tremendous stallion, and what we thought
03:14was a perfect mate to get a grade one winning mare like Wicked Whisper started.
03:20She could give you anything.
03:21I mean, she could have a foal that, you know, there's no limits to what her offspring could
03:27achieve.
03:28I think that she kind of gives you the opportunity, based on her two-year-old ability, to dream
03:32early, but she also, based on her pedigree and the way that she's been bred, gives you
03:37the opportunity to dream big in terms of being able to compete successfully, you know, at
03:41classic-type distances.
03:44She's what you dream about when you say, how do I want to start my broodmare, how do I
03:48want to add to my broodmare band, to try to have the opportunity to produce the best.
03:53She certainly fits all the criteria to produce the best.
