TVG - Gabby Gaudet
 

FROM TWITTER tvg : We are happy to announce that Report/Analyst @Gabby_Gaudet_ will be joining the @TVG team live providing coverage from @GulfstreamPark this weekend & throughout the meet. Welcome, Gabby! She joins us this morning on the line from Florida:

i take it she must be related to Eddie Gaudet. congratulations go out to her on her new job for whatever it is.

This post would have been understandable a decade or so ago. Now? Come on, man.

In this case, extra inappropriate. She's quite competent

i didn't know who she was. i just learned she is a television handicapper. i try to make it a point not to watch handicapping shows except for one of them. i met CJ about 10 years ago in Saratoga, he told me he was staying at Andy Serlings place. that was the first day i ever even heard his name. i have watched and listened to TVG and yesterday was the first time i ever heard her name.

she probably is real good and i really wish her all the best. i am still not going to listen her or anyone else touting horses or the looks of horses in the paddock or on the race track. i know that everyone is having a problem with runups and the clock in horses. i have always felt that if you can't trust the timer, how can you trust the time? the game is tough enough as it is, i am going to stick with paying for my own mistakes like i do in everything else in life.

Move makes some sense for a variety of reasons, I would imagine her fiancee is training down in florida, I would imagine she will then go to Kee and saratoga during the middle of the year.

She's been at Gulfstream for a while, hasn't she? It is just the TVG part that is new I believe.

Wasn't she there with Andy last year of the year before?

She is definitely a + to any team.

.....can someone tell me how "unmute" my TV now? :rolleyes::D

:ThmbUp:

I thought she was working for nyra

She was doing the Maryland circuit for quite a spell...then started branching out...

I can't believe some of you "savvy horseplayer" types have never heard of some of these people before...:lol:

I was in the paddock at Arlington 4-5 years ago and she was doing the live simulcast feed. She is really pretty and seems talented.

She is...from April to November.

Yes, and like most jobs that aren't full time she can freelance the rest of the time.

Wonder who her TVG foil character will be, Todd maybe...?

"In fiction, a foil is a character who contrasts with another character —usually the protagonist— to highlight particular qualities of the other character." Wikipedia.

"The protagonist is at the center of the story, makes the key decisions, and experiences the consequences of those decisions." Wikipedia.

"More formally, the protagonist, while still defined as a leading character, may also be defined as the character whose fate is most closely followed by the reader or audience, and who is opposed by the antagonist. The antagonist will provide obstacles and complications and create conflict that test the protagonist, thus revealing the strengths and weaknesses of their character." Wikipedia.

Gabby makes a great protagonist...a welcome addition to TVG...it is important to get her foil character right, though....
