If you're playing the Oaks/Derby double, and using Rachel Alexandra, i think you're better off singling her.

Reason being, i think it's doubtful that the double from Rachel will pay more than twice the Derby win price. So by doubling your wager there (by including Justwhistledixie), all value is gone should Rachel Alexandra win the race. The $4 Derby win price would likely pay more than the $2 double.

We'll know more as the race approaches and they start showing those payoffs, but that's the way i see it right now.

Your logic seems to be right on, might be a bad bet over all
