The Windward Passage is a strait in the Caribbean Sea, between the islands of Cuba and Hispaniola.
80km wide, the Windward Passage has a threshold depth of 1,700m.
It connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, and is in the direct path of shipping between the Panama Canal and the eastern seaboard of the United States.
From either the eastern tip of the Guantánamo Province of Cuba, or the western tip of Haiti's Nord-Ouest Department, it is possible to see lights on the other side of the Windward Passage.
WindwardPassage ($11.20) raced several lengths behind pacesetter Ocean Sound, who broke sharply in the 1 1/16-mile race and led the field through an opening half-mile in 47.80 seconds.
WindwardPassage moved up along the final turn, and ran down the leaders in the stretch, covering the distance over a fast track in 1:45.
WindwardPassage is a homebred son of Captain Bodgit.
