Episode 112: On Landaluce: The Story of Seattle Slew’s First Champion with Mary Perdue

Equestrian Author Spotlight Podcast

Episode 112: In this Equestrian Author Spotlight, you'll meet Mary Perdue, author of Landaluce: The Story of Seattle Slew's First Champion. In Landaluce: The Story of Seattle Slew's First Champion, Mary Perdue tells the story of a horse whose short but meteoric career could have changed racing history forever. Sparking comparisons to Ruffian, Landaluce helped elevate California horse racing to the national stage and could have been the first filly to ever win the Triple Crown. In telling this story, Perdue explores the lives and careers of Landaluce's breeders, owners, and trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, as well as her famous sire Seattle Slew—and shows not only how one filly captured the imagination of racing fans across the country, but also set the stage for another filly turned super-horse, Zenyatta, in the decades to come.
