Dullahan wins the 2011 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity

The $400,000 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity (G1) is the major local prep and "Win and You're In" race for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, with a field of 13 two-year-olds going 1 1/16 miles on the Polytrack. Musical Flair led the field around the clubhouse turn and down the backstretch through fractions of 22.67 and 46.15 before 3-1 second choice Majestic City took over on the far turn, through 3/4 in 1:11.03. Majestic City opened up by 2 1/2 lengths at the 1/8 pole but 18-1 Dullahan, 9th early, closed late to get up by 3/4 length in 1:43.12. It was another length back to Optimizer third, while 5-2 favorite Shared Property was 6th.
