Background

[edit]

Hot Dixie Chick was foaled on March 31, 2007, at Gerry Dilger's Dromoland Farm near Lexington, Kentucky. She was sired by Dixie Union, a son of the stakes winner Dixieland Band, and she is out of the mare Above Perfection, by the Irish-bred stallion In Excess, making her a half sister to 2017 Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming.[3][4]

Racing career

[edit]

2009: two-year-old season

[edit]

Hot Dixie Chick broke her maiden in her second race, setting what was then the Churchill Downs track record for 5 furlongs on dirt in the process. In that race, she defeated future Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Tapitsfly.[5] She then went on to win the 6-furlong, Grade III Schuylerville Stakes at Saratoga Race Course.[6] In her next outing, she won the Grade I, 7-furlong Spinaway Stakes in stakes-record time of 1:22.28.[7]

2010: three-year-old season

[edit]

Hot Dixie Chick raced three times as a three-year-old. Her first race was a win in the 6-furlong Prima Donna Stakes at Oaklawn Park on March 20, which she won by 5 3/4 lengths.[8] She then finished her 3-year-old season with third-place finishes in both the Eight Belles Stakes and Winning Colors Stakes at Churchill Downs.[9]

Offspring

[edit]

Hot Dixie Chick was bred to Curlin in 2011, and produced a colt named Union Jackson the following year on February 7, 2012.[10] Trained by Steve Asmussen, Union Jackson placed 3rd in the Aristides Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 4, 2016.

She has also produced Marcy Darcy, a filly by Smart Strike born March 22, 2014,[11] and an unnamed filly by Street Cry in 2015.
