She was hired because she's an attractive looking female.

In terms of what she will provide as analyst, obviously almost nothing of value to any bettor.

I think Emma Jayne Wilson would be much better suited to the job, appearance not withstanding. She's a better jockey, and a much better speaker. One of the most intelligent sounding jockeys I've ever heard interviewed.

Yawn. The old cliché. With the internet, there is no shortage of good looking woman to gaze at. TVG would have been better off giving the Zenyatta statue a microphone than Chantal.
She has no insight to the game. Just watch her post race interview after her armchair Gold cup win last year for an example.

But I say she still would do a better job than that babbling Idiot Zoe Cadman on HRTV.

It's all personal opinion, but I disagree. I think Zoe is excellent.

I had my first experience with HRTV as my Direct TV and Cable provider never offered it.. It is vastly superior to TVG, I hope Matt makes the move to HRTV because he is a very good listen.
