Family 9-g
An inconsistent runner but probably the best Argentine 3-year-old filly of her year, Locandiera swept the Argentine Classics for her sex. She was a better race mare than producer.
Race record
22 starts, 5 wins, 2 seconds, 2 thirds

Also won:
As an individual
A chestnut mare; no further information available.
As a producer
Locandiera produced at least six foals. Her only foal of importance appears to be the 1924 Larrea filly Leona, dam of multiple Uruguayan stakes winner Leones (by Rico) and is the second dam of 1945 Gran Premio Ciudad de La Plata winner Lamprea.
Connections
Bred by Haras Ojo de Agua, Locandiera raced in the colors of the stud’s racing arm, Caballeriza Ojo de Agua. She began her broodmare career at Haras Ojo de Agua, later passing to the ownership of Joaquín Gorina’s Haras La Lula. Her last owners were Señores Mitre and Paats, and Company, owners of Haras Argentino.
Pedigree notes
Locandiera is inbred 4x4 to the important English sire Sterling. She was produced from Maritones, whose dam Galopine (by 1884 Manchester Handicap winner Keir) is a half sister to Párvula (by Gay Hermit), dam of 1899 Gran Premio Selección winner Parva (by Stiletto) and 1902 Gran Premio Selección winner Particula (by Stiletto); second dam of 1918 Gran Premio Nacional (Argentine Derby) and Gran Premio Selección winner Omega, 1913 Gran Premio Internacional (later the Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini) winner Energica, and 1915 Premio Arenales winner Aguerrido; and third dam of 1935 Gran Premio Nacional winner Ix, 1940 Polla de Potrillos (Argentine Two Thousand Guineas) winner Zurrún, 1928 Gran Premio Saturnino J. Unzue winner Silurico, and Premio General Pueyrredon winner Henry Lee, the Chilean champion sire of 1935. Galopine is also a half sister to two-time Chilean champion sire Gonin (by Gay Hermit) and to Espoir (by Gay Hermit), dam of 1912 Premio Enrique Acebal winner Hirondelle (by Pietermaritzburg) and the second dam of 1922 Gran Premio Selección winner Pilmayquen. In addition, Galopine is a half sister to Enfantine (by Gay Hermit), dam of major Argentine stakes winners Elcano (by Old Man) and Enero (by Old Man) and of Brazilian stakes winner Calepino (by Orange), who raced in Argentina under the name “Epupel.” Finally, Galopine is a half sister to Dawn (by Queen’s Messenger), second dam of 1913 Polla de Potrancas (Argentine One Thousand Guineas) winner Piscueta and third dam of Kosmos, whose 28 wins include the 1933 Grande Prêmio Major Suckow and the 1934 Grande Prêmio São Paulo.
Galopine and her siblings were produced from the great Argentine foundation mare Ante Diem, an import from England. Sired by Ascot Stakes winner Musket (who became a three-time Australian champion sire after being exported to New Zealand in 1878), Ante Diem is a half sister to Madcap (by Trumpeter), dam of 1892 Great Northern Derby winner Morion (by Captivator). The sisters, in turn, were produced from an 1859 daughter of Young Melbourne (by Melbourne) out of the good race mare Maid of Masham (by 1838 St. Leger Stakes winner Don John).

Fun facts
- In Italian, “locandiera” signifies an innkeeper or landlady. The filly’s name may be related to her dam’s name, Maritornes, (in Spanish, a slovenly or unattractive maidservant or a woman of loose morals), as in ancient times, prostitutes prosperous enough to own their own homes often doubled as innkeepers who lodged travelers.
