I'm a Chatterbox Could Resurface at Oaklawn

Fletcher and Carolyn Gray's homebred filly I'm a Chatterbox, second to Stellar Wind in the voting for 2015 champion 3-year-old filly, is back on the track preparing for her 4-year-old debut, which could come in the April 15 Apple Blossom Handicap (gr. I) at Oaklawn Park.

Trainer Larry Jones, who won the 2011 Apple Blossom with Horse of the Year Havre de Grace, said the Munnings   filly is a candidate for this year's race along with Fox Hill Farms' Cassatt, a 5-year-old multiple stakes-winning Tapit   mare. I'm a Chatterbox, based at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots with the Jones string this winter, has posted two three-furlong works since her return.

"She runs good fresh, so we're not so much worried about having to have a prep (before the Apple Blossom)," said Jones, who noted either I'm a Chatterbox or Cassatt could ship to Arkansas.

I'm a Chatterbox won the Cotillion Stakes (gr. I) last year and would have had another grade I to her credit if not for an interference disqualification in the Coaching Club American Oaks. She finished eighth in last year's Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff (gr. I) after a troubled trip.
