3rd: Queen Isabella H.
Dam of 4 black type including G1SW Rich Tradition
​Legendra was better than an empty stall as a racer but was far more valuable as a broodmare. She produced three stakes winners, two of graded class by modern standards, but her true legacy was revealed as her daughters entered the paddocks and bred on, making her an important 20th-century matriarch. A bay mare, Legendra was well-balanced with good bone and short cannons; her hocks were unusually straight.
Gravestone at Newstead Farm, Upperville, its foundation mare.
Legendra produced 14 named foals, of which 11 started and 10 won. Her important foals are as follow:
Hasty Doll (1955, by Roman) won the 1957 Princess Pat Stakes. She is the dam of 1969 La Centinela Stakes winner Hasty Hitter (by Hitting Away). She is also the second dam of Grade 3 winners Chancy Dance and Sherizar and the third dam of Grade 2 winner Old Tascosa and Grade 3 winners Vain Gold and Mr. Sea Sanders.
Rich Tradition (1956 by Rosemont) won the 1958 Selima Stakes and Spinaway Stakes. Unfortunately, she had no issue.
Sky Clipper (1957, by Citation) won the 1959 Sapling Stakes. He sired two stakes winners from 143 foals.
Lyford Cottage (1958, by Battlefield) won one of her nine starts. She produced 1967 Prince of Wales Stakes winner Battling (by Nearctic).
Turn the Page (1960, by Turn-to) placed twice in 11 starts. She is the second dam of 1978 Swaps Stakes (USA-G1) winner Radar Ahead
