About
Spicy Lu, a 4yo bay mare from Australia trained by Nick Olive, is by Tagaloa out of All Salsa. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $458,125, she is regarded as an above‑average racehorse. On 18 Oct 2025 at Caulfield, ridden by Nash Rawiller, she secured her most important victory in the $240,000 Ethereal Stakes, beating Just A Journey. She has been a profitable animal for bettors; a career‑long backing would have yielded a 63% return on investment.
