Great listing. My favorite is Jessica Pacheco followed by Christina and Nancy. That's my trifecta.

Where is Jill Byrne nowadays? Churchill isn't running and haven't seen her on TVG.

Jill was covering Arlington yesterday on HRTV with Caton and Gary Stevens

Jill now works for HRTV. Am assuming she'll be used for their on-site events and maybe in-studio like the way TVG did to Jill. The reason why she's moving to HRTV because of her promotion at Churchill Downs as it's Director of On-Air Communications so that's why it was impart of her Churchill Downs deal. I forgot to add Jessica Paquette the Suffolk Downs paddock analyst. I think Joanne Jones is the best female analyst as I think she's first, second is Christina and third is Alyssa Ali though she doesn't give out any selections at Arlington Park but she does give out the paddock notes on the Arlington Park signal when the horses are warming up as that's my trifecta. For superfecta I say Jessica Pacheco.

p.s. the person who put down Caton and Gary Stevens well Fanny Salmon was also involved on the broadcast as well as I forgot to put her name in their also and forgot to add Meredith Gleaves on the list as well on the women in racing category. I could be foregetting names as if any of the women who are involved in broadcasting in racing am sorry for foregetting your name.

Do the Beulah Twins have second jobs besides working at Beulah Park?

[Risen Star]

All the ladies are quite good, and I especially like Carolyn Conley and Millie Ball, I think because they are former exercise riders. They are extremely knowledgeable and Carolyn seems very skillful at discussing nuances that she observes with the horses. Millie of course, gives very good insight on the international scene which I enjoy. I think Millie has worked with several different equine disciplines as well, so she brings an extremely deep and extensive background to the table.

Since you are making a master list of every woman who ever had anything to do with horse racing and television, what about Thea Andrews?
