250:, as a yearling in 1977 for $ 275,000 on behalf of L. R. French, who later partnered with Barry Beal. Expected to be a winner, she lived up to the expectations. Her first race was a stakes at Hollywood Park. Terlingua won the Nursery Stakes by four and a half lengths and broke the stakes record. She then won the grade II Hollywood Lassie Stakes by three and a half lengths before she challenged males in the Hollywood Juvenile Championship, which she won by two and a half lengths. In her next start, she defeated fillies in the Del Mar Debutante by nine lengths. Talk of her replicating her father's Triple Crown sweep soon started. This, however, was not the case when Terlingua returned to the track as a 3-year-old, because she never regained her 2-year-old form. She did win two stakes at age 3, her 3yo debut Santa Ynez and 3yo finale Las Flores, while breaking the stakes record--she lost 5 in a row between these two stakes wins, and one more at age 4. She also broke one more stake record at 4, in the third running of the La Brea @ 7 furlongs, before she was retired at the end of that season to Overbrook Farms following an injury to her right front knee. Terlingua brought Lukas so much attention he made the decision to become a full-time thoroughbred trainer.

Strength. Terlingua then produced the first and only full sibling to Storm Cat, a brother called Namesake. He never became a winner or a sire. Two years later, she had a filly by Carson City named City Gold. In 2000, she gave birth to another filly, this one by Boston Harbor. Her last foal, a filly named Final Legacy, was very small and since Terlingua had missed several breeding seasons, her connections didn't want to push her any further and retired her from breeding.
279:. Terlingua then gave birth to a Slew of Gold colt, Tiajuana. He was never a stakes winner but became a sire in India. Her next foal was a chestnut colt by Alydar named Provo, who became a very successful sire in Cyprus. Terlingua was bred back to Alydar the next year, and the result was her chestnut son Wheaton. He was a modest sire, getting many ungraded stakes winners.

Her impact on the present bloodlines will be felt for many more years to come. Her trainer Lukas once said of her influence, “Without a doubt, if you're around Storm Cat like I've been and trained so many of his offspring, they're

In 1992, she gave birth to a Mr. Prospector filly named Pueblo who was later exported to South
America. Bred back to Mr. Prospector in 1993, she produced Pioneering, a stallion who became a successful sire in the US, producing the Grade-1-winning mare Behaving Badly and the Jamaican Champion

Upon retirement in 2001, Terlingua was moved out into a pasture at the Young family's
Overbrook Farm near Lexington, Kentucky, with a test mare named Ashley as a companion. There she spent her final years until her death in 2008. Terlingua was euthanized at the age of 32 on April 29 due to
