Salty Pearl: Rising Star and Flagbearer for Tagaloa

At just two years old, Salty Pearl is already making waves on the Australian racing scene and she's doing it as one of the standout early progeny of exciting young sire Tagaloa, who stands at Yulong.

The striking filly announced herself with a powerful second-place finish in the $250,000 VOBIS Gold Rush, followed by a strong third in the Group 3 David Coles Stakes. She then stamped her class by winning one of the most competitive two-year-old handicap races on a Saturday at Caulfield which was a performance that turned plenty of heads.

Trained by Australia leading horseman Ciaron Maher, Salty Pearl has shown she’s not just precocious, but full of untapped potential. With her early credentials and natural talent, Maher is now setting his sights on ambitious spring targets, as this rising star continues her ascent toward the top echelon of Australian racing.
