?q=100)
Grade 1 winner and producer Hot Dixie Chick, a key member of Stonestreet Farm’s history and broodmare band, was euthanized due to complications from colic, the farm announced recently. The daughter of Dixie Union was 18.
Hot Dixie Chick was a multiple graded stakes winner at 2, highlighted by a win in the Grade 1 Spinaway, while racing in the name of Grace Stables, the moniker Barbara Banke used for her own horses at the time. Banke later took over all of the Stonestreet operations following the death of her husband, Jess Jackson, and has expanded the operation domestically and internationally while continuing to cultivate one of the best-known broodmare bands in America.
Hot Dixie Chick is the dam of five winners from seven starters to date, led by Pauline’s Pearl, who earned more than $2 million. She won the Grade 1 La Troienne and five other graded stakes. The mare also produced Grade 3-placed stakes winner Union Jackson and stakes-placed Marsalis.
Hot Dixie Chick’s final foal is a Flightline yearling colt named Fly Guy.
