Here are a few of Landaluce’s accomplishments:
- Set two records in her first two starts at Hollywood Park
- Was compared to Ruffian by veteran horsemen who had seen them both
- Was the first champion ever trained by Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas
- Finished in a three-way tie for 1982 Horse of the Year after only five starts
- Elevated California racing to the national stage at a time when East Coast racing reigned supreme, becoming the first juvenile filly to win a championship while racing exclusively in California.
- Among the most beloved fillies ever to race
