About

Saluto is a 2yo bay from the United States trained by Steve R. Knapp. He is out of the stallion Stay Thirsty and the dam Bella Ciao. To date, Saluto has recorded one win. On 2 May 2026 at Santa Anita, he captured his biggest victory, earning $65,000 in prize money. The horse has been a profitable out‑right for bettors; backing Saluto throughout his career would have yielded a 300% return on investment.
