Landaluce Educe is simply Latin for ‘Remembering Landaluce’ or ‘Landaluce Remembered.’
If you didn’t know, Landaluce (1980-1982) was a champion thoroughbred filly by Seattle Slew who died tragically during her 2 year old campaign. She was my favorite horse, and the inspiration to become involved in thoroughbred racing. So this stable is named in her honor. For more about her, follow the link on the navigation pane.
The goal of this stable is simple, though the execution may be difficult. The plan is to team with Kenny McPeek (McPeek Racing) to obtain one to two yearling fillies per year with both enough classic pedigree and racing potential to become future quality broodmares while enjoying all the time spent with these exciting creatures. The hope is to successfully race them for a few years, then match them with appropriate studs and patiently build a quality racing stable. This website was established to journal the successes and failures of this adventure for anyone who wishes to follow along.
