I guess the race answered my question. Avoid eastern based dirt horses trying pro ride for the first time.

Actually, Dixie isn't that good of a filly to begin with and tailed off pretty badly last year.

It will be interesting to see if she runs another lackluster race once back on dirt, which will be my guess.

She may not be any good all in all but how did she tail off with one race in the final six months of the year where she narrowly missed in a G2.

Justwhistledixie, the 2009 Ky Oaks future book favorite, was the beneficiary of circumstances in both of her GP wins and obviously proved that she's not much horse when things don't go her way. I'm eagerly anticipating her going back to dirt at a 7f-1 mile race because her price is likely to be higher than it should, provided they make the West Point folks leave their wallets at the gate.

Might be better off just avoiding Pro-Ride altogether.
