The stakes at Santa anita will be very tough, too. I think the Oaklawn Fantasy, Wood & Carter ayt Aqeduct and Ashland at Keenland will all be fairly chalky, however. You just got to pick the right chalk. ![]() |

Well stables are picked and closed out for the month of April. This is the LEAST confident I have felt since the beginning of the contest...I thought it was tough this time for some reason...not really sure why. I feel like I will be taking a tumble...

April is tough, but there's plenty of places to get your points.
I don't see a lot of room to gain ground on the leaders until next month. Here's the stable I went with. Pretty safe, but with a few curveballs thrown in.

Latent Heat Cobalt Blue Ermine Smokey Stover Curlin JockeysDivison 1st Call John Velazquez 2nd Call David Flores TrainersDivison Trainer I Todd Pletcher 36 Trainer II Barclay Tagg |

I really wanted to put Showing Up in there, but I figured that would be a sure way for Barclay to decide at the last minute not to enter him in the Maker's Mark!

India didn't help my case either by breaking her tongue tie before the race, but honestly I thought she would run super-well or badly and few people added her. I slipped back to 59th, I hope you did much better!

I seriously considered adding in Tiago instead of Sam P late last week (since I was so far back in the standings) but he wasn't on the list! Still could get some more points this week with Street Sense, Curlin and Showing Up.
