Luiana could not emulate two champion half siblings as a racehorse; in fact, she was never even put into training. Nonetheless, she had a producing record very close in merit to that of her champion half sister Primonetta, the 1978 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year, and her branch of the family has bred on much better over the long haul.
