Grade 1 winner I'm a Chatterbox will be pointed to the Grade 3 Doubledogdare at Keeneland on April 22.

Trainer Larry Jones said the Grade 1-winning filly I’m a Chatterbox likely will make her 2016 debut in the Grade 3 Doubledogdare on April 22 at Keeneland.

“We’re kind of eyeballing that one,” Jones said.

The 3-year-old colt Jensen, a two-time winner at this meet, will makes his stakes debut in the Grade 3 Spiral on Polytrack at Turfway Park. Jones pointed out that Jensen is a grandson of Hard Spun, who was undefeated on synthetics.

◗ Jockey John Jacinto, 38, who hadn’t ridden in a race since 2014, returned to competition Thursday. Jacinto had been sidelined because of an injured left arm.
