Anyone got any bright ideas for mapping out March?

Got some nice points yesterday (missed having scat daddy), but had Molengo, Silent Name, Bayeux, etc..
Gained some more ground today with Silver tree, Old dodge and Wait a While.
Still not quite in the top 100, but hopefully March will be a better month.

It's tough. Time to guess who is in the Florida Derby on March 31st...
There's so many G1 and G2 races left (with fields TBD) that you can either go the safe route and take obvious picks (Any given saturday in the Tampa Bay Derby) or take some chances on horses who can win G1s later in the month, but may not end up making the race.

Agreed. Or load up on the horses who are nominated and likely to run next weekend.

Three year olds are a catch 22 - you can get a good idea for where they are bring pointed (unlike some of the older horses) but any minor injury or change and you might get nothing for a whole month.

The 3-year olds are pretty well mapped out for the next 2 weekends, as are the stakes at Fairgrounds and Santa Anita (and Oaklawn in 2 weeks).
That's where most of the people will load up.
If you can find a few horses towards the end of the month, you could do realyl well.
