What he has produced

Notable progeny

Nothing yet, and we are not going to invent it. Saltmarsh King covers his first book in 2027 and his first foals are due in the spring of 2028. What you are buying is the racehorse, the pedigree and the physical — which is exactly what everybody is buying in a first-season sire, whatever the advertisement says.

Breeding history

Books, foals and fertility

Live foals are counted the following spring, so the most recent season always shows a dash until it is settled. We publish these whether they flatter the horse or not.

Advertised fee, by season

Where the fee has been

2027
£12,000

Opening fee. Book capped at 120 and closed in March.

A fee that only ever goes up is a fee nobody is looking at. Ours move both ways, and the reason is written next to each one.

Viewing

Come and see him

Saltmarsh King is shown by appointment, most weekday mornings between eight and eleven. Tea in the office afterwards, and Declan will walk you round the paddocks if the weather is behaving.
