Emile Ramsamy had an armchair ride in the feature event yesterday at Santa Rosa Park, when Gabby's Boy made winning look ridiculously easy.
The 1,750 metros event was turned into a procession from 600 metroes out when Ramsammy allowed the Shivam Maharaj owned horse to quicken.
Coming to the corner, it was one way traffic as Ramsammy was sitting motionless as Gabby's Gold stretched away from her rivals.
In the final 300 metres, Gabby's Gold which tracked the pace set by early leader El Bandido De Oro easily pulled clear of Golden Dixieland and Youaresobad for a 9 3/4 length victory.
The Derick Mosca trained Gabby's Gold recorded the time of 1:51.1 for the romp.
Riding honours for the day were shared between Shaun Samuel and Keran Khelawan who both rode two winners.
No trainer was able to saddle more than one winner on the eight race card.
