Features - Mystic Wind
"Mystic Wind had something subliminal about her," her groom told us, "we never used a nickname with her, she was greatness epitomized. She would ignore people entirely around the barn, except to bite or kick them. She was a true tiger."

"She was so easy in the mornings," trainer Knickers informed us, "you just sent her out with the instructions and she went out and did it. She never could just gallop though, she had to pound the ground for all she was worth, that's why she had her lameness issues, and why we switched her to the grass. It was just easier on her legs. She was always looking for a fight. I'll always remember the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, she had the worst trip in the world and still was running at the end. She just looked so happy, even though she had lost, she'd gotten a good fight out of it."

Features - Wild About You
"She never put a foot wrong, even in defeat she was grand," trainer Knickers said of her prized racemare, "she had class and she never quit trying. I remember the 2001 Breeders' Cup Classic, with her and Silver Thunder battling down the stretch, and she just refused to give up. Even though she lost I think that is one of her greatest races ever."

Features - Smokene
"There was something about the look in her eye, she was on fire. She was one of the toughest fillies to train and was possibly the most brilliant of all the ones to come through the barn." - trainer Knickers

"She made me want to get up in the morning, just to be near her was to realize true greatness, and when you were on her back, for just one moment in time, you were untouchable." - jockey Gary Stevens
