Salt It

The daughter of Salt Lake and Let It Fly is probably remembered for winning the mile and an eighth Grade II $200,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on May 16, 1997.

After breaking her maiden in her second start in November 1996, she won an allowance race in late January 1997 at Laurel Park Racecourse.

Her final time in her third straight win was 1:51.20 under jockey Carlos Marquez, Jr. She was trained by her owner, Deborah Bodner, who then entered her in the second jewel of the de facto filly Triple Crown, the Grade II $200,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes on May 16, 1997.

In that mile and an eighth race on the dirt, Salt It beat a field of seven, including stakes winners Buckeye Search and Holiday Ball.

Later that year, Salt It finished third in two other stakes races, including the grade two Cotillion Handicap at Philadelphia Park behind Snit and Proud Run.
