Why read it?
1 author picked Landaluce as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I have read several excellent Thoroughbred biographies released within the last year, but none that moved me more than Landaluce.
Aside from being a compelling and richly written story about an amazing young racehorse who touched many lives even as her own life was cut short too soon, the book is also the story of a unique love affair between Landaluce and trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who found in his champion filly both the horse and the heartbreak of a lifetime.
Not many horse books have moved me to tears since I became an adult; this one did.
From Avalyn's list on thoroughbred horses and horse racing.
