I don't quite have enough info to project Landaluce - but I think one of the most interesting votes in history was her winning a 2yo championship over Princess Rooney.
Both of them were sensationally fast 2yo's - and I actually rated both the two best 2yo fillies of the 1980's. However, I'm confident Princess Rooney was much faster than Landaluce beyond 7fs. Landaluce was almost certainly faster at sprint distances - but maybe not by much actually. I think Princess Rooney probably should have won that vote.
Here is what some of Landaluce's competition looked like:
* 2nd by 21 to Landaluce on July 10th:
* 2nd by 10 to Landaluce on Oct 11th:
* 2nd by 6.5 to Landaluce on Sep 5th:
* 2nd by 2 to Landaluce on Oct 23rd:
Meanwhile, Princeess Rooney destroyed everything in Florida - and came East and smoked some nice competition there by wide margins. The day of A. P. Indy and Summer Squall was having a solid year and Princess Rooney demolished her.
Ruffian was a better 2yo sprinter than Landaluce - and probably any other horse for that matter.
