Salt Spray (Kodiac X Taste the Salt) was an expensive yearling selling at Tattersalls in 2021 for US $400,000. He ran once as a 2YO beaten by a half a length on his first outing at Churchill Downs. He managed just one run as a 3YO in September 2023 winning his maiden at Churchill Downes. His next run was in April 2024 where he finished a close 3rd at Keeneland. He was put in the Horses in Training sale at Fasig Tipton after just four runs over three years and only realised 10% of his original value. He was bought by K & K Racing Stables and transferred to Louisiana and after a long layoff returned to the racetrack at Louisiana Downes where he ran three times between the 15th of June and the 28th of July. He won on June 15th and again on June 29th and lost out in a photo on the 28th of July finishing a head 2nd. If he stays sound many more wins can be expected.
A full sister to Salt Spray was sold at Tattersalls last year which is unraced todate as a 2YO. The dam Taste the Salt was barren to Wootton Bassett in 2024 but is now in foal to Blue Point.
