Mills and trained by William H. Turner, Jr. who went on to train the 1977 U.S. Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew.

A grandson of the great European star, Ribot, among Salerno's most important success came as a two-year-old when he won the 1967 Remsen Stakes. The following year, he had a second place finish in the Withers Stakes.
