Pedigree

Justwhistledixie is by dual Grade 1-winning millionaire Dixie Union, who had the speed and precocity to win first time out going five furlongs, yet stayed 1 1/8 miles in top company at three. A leading two-year-old who captured the Hollywood Juvenile Championship (G3), Best Pal S. (G3) and Norfolk S. (G2), he carried that smart form forward as a sophomore, bagging the Haskell Invitational H. (G1) and Malibu S. (G1). Dixie Union has been a solid sire, especially with his youngsters, including 2007 Norfolk S. (G1) star Dixie Chatter.

Starter Analysis

Winner of the Davona Dale S. (G2) and Bonnie Miss S. (G2) in her last two starts, Justwhistledixie owns a five-race win skein and looms the biggest threat against odds-on favorite Rachel Alexandra.

I honestly think JustWhistleDixie may be the better horse in this race, of course Rachel Alexandra has raced at Churchill before and done spectacular. I really can't decide which one I want to go with. Guess we'll find out in about 4 hours.

It's a tragedy that Justwhistledixie didn't get a chance to take on Rachel Alexandra today due to the foot absess. It would've been a good race.

At this point I see nothing that stop Rachel now I'm afraid.
