GI Winners Salty and Dacita at Don Alberto Corporation

Don Alberto Corporation spent millions to get their hands on GI winners Salty and Dacita. We visited them at Don Alberto Farm and met their new foals.

Dacita is a daughter of Scat Daddy, and is the leading earner for her dam Daja (Chi) (Seeker's Reward). She was a dual champion in Chile before moving to the United States and into the barn of top turf trainer Chad Brown as a 4-year-old. She raced for three years in the States, claiming four graded stakes including two Grade I races in the Diana S. and Beverly D. S.

The chestnut mare was purchased by Don Alberto at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton November Sale for $1.85 million. Last year, Dacita had her first foal, a colt by Uncle Mo and was bred back to Quality Road. The resulting filly was born in January of this year, and Buffolo said their team is very happy with the result of the mating.
