Wind in Her Hair is an Irish-bred, English-trained racehorse who won the Aral-Pokal in 1995 while pregnant. After retiring from racing, she was retired to become a breeding mare at the Northern Farm in Japan, where she became the dam of Black Tide and Deep Impact, both of whom became successful stallions in their own right. [1] [2]

Career

As a race horse, she came in second behind Balanchine at the 1994 Epsom Oaks, and won the Aral-Pokal in 1995 despite carrying an Arazi foal in her womb. [3] The foal would be born the following year and be named Glint in Her Eye, but because the foal was unable to win any races, she was sold to Japan. It was only after her second crop, Veil of Avalon, became a successful racehorse, that there was an attempt to buy her back from Japan. [4]

After being shipped to Japan, her crops such as Deep Impact and Black Tide, as well as Lady Blond who she produced in the United States have been successful race horses. The four fillies out of Wind in Her Hair that were born in the United States or Europe have all since been imported into Japan. [Note 1]
