Meet Salty Pearl
Salty Pearl is a talented thoroughbred mare who has captured the hearts of her syndicate. From her first start at Caulfield in November 2024, she has shown remarkable ability — competing at the highest levels of Australian racing, including Group 1 races at Rosehill and Morphetville.
Racing in her distinctive navy and white silks, Salty Pearl has claimed three wins and has been placed in eight further races, including victories in the prestigious G2 Fillies Classic at Moonee Valley and the Vobis Guineas at Caulfield. Her journey is one we are all proud to share.

What a run at Morphetville last Saturday! So proud of our girl. She gave everything she had. 🏆
I was there trackside and the crowd went absolutely wild when she crossed the line! Brought tears to my eyes honestly.
Trainer sent through some great photos from the morning after. She looks so well. Here's the one from the stable.
Brian that photo is stunning! She looks so relaxed. Has anyone heard from the trainer about the next race plans?
Spoke to the stable this morning — they're looking at the G1 Queensland Oaks at Eagle Farm on June 6th. She'll have a light gallop Tuesday then they'll confirm. Very exciting!
G1! Our girl going for Group 1 glory! Count me in for Eagle Farm — who else is making the trip up to Brisbane? 🐎
I'm in! Already looking at flights 😄
Me and Sandra will be there for sure!
Can't believe we've gone from a maiden at Caulfield to a G1 contender! What a journey. So glad to be part of this syndicate. 💙
