She is definitely a + to any team.

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

Tom, I wasnt sure if anyone could melt that heart of yours. Apparently Gabby has, she is an angel and an extremely knowledgeable handicapper. Too bad she is engaged, if I was 40 years younger, better looking, and about a foot taller, smarter and kinder, I might have had a chance! Haha!

Big Gabby fan.

She is from horse racing family dating to Maryland area of Laurel/Pimilio etc.

Worked that circuit as well as GS.

She is solid, and I respect her opinion. Great addition to TVG IMO, but hey, I always look to the positive of things.

Whatever happened to Millie Ball and Jennifer Jones or Philly Parks Jennifer Ornstein ?

Here's Millie:

She is a very astute handicapper as well as a good horsewoman. I miss her.

The first time I saw Gabby was on NYRA tv and at Saratoga in 2016.
I was an am impressed by her insight and handicapping skills. She is well spoken. Well prepared and knows her stuff. She fits in well with the NYRA team.
And , she is very easy on the eyes.
She will be a breath of fresh air for TVG.

Which male on TVG do you think is the most "super easy on the eyes"...?
Who should TVG pair up with Gabby?

Just wanted to point out that females occupy a pseudo-priveledged position in the American mind, especially if they are good looking. Comments that normally would seem rather strange for a man to apply to another man can easily be attached to a female, and the normal jests and slights that we might apply to a Todd, to a Brad, to a Mike CANNOT be thrown around referring to a female without severe censure...in the horse racing world, women are a protected class in general, probably a leftover of a chivalrous age...believe me Caton is just as easy on the eyes...and comments like these invite similar invidious comparisons...no?

For my part, I've always discouraged posts that talk about anyone's appearance, male or female. I hadn't seen these yet. I don't read every post. While complimenting someone's looks isn't bad, it usually leads down a path that turns wrong sooner or later on forums like this.

You might want to tell female jockeys they're a "protected class", I'm sure it will be news to them.

I couldn't agree more; back in the day I thought that Julie Krone was a terrific jockey, but what made her really special was a fierce competitiveness and refusal to back down to the boys. She gave as good as she got, and once decked Miguel Rujano in the jocks room after he hit her in the face with his whip during a race. A chair throwing brawl ensued that was WWE worthy. She was definitely the best female jockey I ever saw live. In the late 70's and 80's, if you latched on to a promising female rider early in her career, there was money to be made. For me that rider was Mary Ann Alligood at Keystone Race Track. Those were the days....
