Taste the Salt’s first two foals were winners and we were waiting to see her Mehmas colt, Big Leader run as a 2YO in 2024.  The story was that he would be the dam’s next winner and though never racing as a 2YO he did not leave his supporters down when he made his racecourse debut at Redcar on Monday.  Sent to post as the 28/1 outsider in this one mile contest he took his time at the rear of the small field until asked to go at the 2f mark.  He quickly moved through the gears and put the race to bed long before the finish, winning by 2½ lengths eased down.  With his ears pricked and plenty in the tank the race report suggested that it was an impressive performance.

Taste the Salt has a 2YO Kodiac filly to run this year. She has a Blue Point foal at foot and is in foal to Ghaiyyath.

Big Leader will obviously step up from his maiden win.
