De Bromhead is based at Knockeen in Co Waterford and has sent out 107 winners already this season, which makes his yard one of the busiest and most productive in Ireland right now. When a trainer of that calibre singles out a horse as "a nice filly" who looked "very impressive" on debut, it is worth paying attention. Salsinha made her first appearance at Cork in July 2025 and won it, the kind of entrance that gets people talking back at the yard. Jockey John Gleeson was quick to point out that she is French-bred and carries natural pace — she quickened away from her rivals rather than grinding them down, which is the mark of a horse with a bit of class about her.
What makes her recent record particularly eye-catching is the direction of travel. After a couple of mid-field finishes in the middle of her career, she has come back to form in style, winning at Listowel just this week to make it two wins from six races in total. That is a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3 races, which is a genuinely strong number for any horse. Racing just one day ago and winning, she is clearly in the form of her life right now.
De Bromhead mentioned back in November 2025 that he was looking forward to sending her hurdling, suggesting he always believed there was more to come from her. Whether that move over obstacles has already happened or is still ahead, the underlying message is clear — this is a horse the team regard as a proper prospect, not just a useful animal to keep busy. Six races in, two wins, never out of the top four. Salsinha is building a very tidy profile.
