Where blue grass and the thoroughbreds abound And Old Kentucky friendship is still found Where King Horse is still supreme And the sporting life is keen The name of Dixiana is renowned.
Here Domino was bred whose classic name Stands foremost in Kentucky’s racing game May the day be drawing near When his gallant equine peer Will yet enhance the Dixiana fame. To Mr. and Mrs. Fisher Easter 1930 L. J. Gallagher S. J.

March 1, 1932 Spring time sun and things a growin’ Steeds like Pegasus, manes flowin’ Sun a glintin’ cross the Elkhorn, Makes the grim old world seem newborn.
God above and ‘neath this roof tree, Hearts the noblest that may be From our souls we sing “Hosanna” Hail to thee fair Dixiana! Mary Florence Moynihan Joseph G. Moynihan

1935 Derby Day at Dixiana Lovely party at the manor Rainy weather, fine trip Played a little secret tip Got wet, lost the bet Haven’t won a Derby Yet
Judging from my heavy losses I’m still following these horses Some day tho’, or I’m a sinner I’ll come down and pick a winner And the Dixiana host Will send that winner to the post L. M. P. J.
![]() There’s nothing like an evening on the Dixiana Lawn When you’re sippin’ on a julep and a skunk comes along In case you are from the far away city The skunk I mean is a black & white kitty So I grab up my gun and rush out for the kill But my sweet little wife puts all my efforts to nil. Ben T. Smith [sometime between July 19-22, 1940]
