Anthony Stabile Jr. is no longer employed as a handicapper and television host for the New York Racing Association, Daily Racing Form reports, having resigned from those positions weeks after being involved in a stable area altercation with trainer James Chapman.
A NYRA employee since 2016, Stabile also filled in as track announcer on occasion at Aqueduct. He co-hosted the popular “Talking Horses” pre-race handicapping show with Andy Serling, was part of the “America's Day at the Races” on-air team and was a content contributor to NYRA's website.
Last month, Stabile was seen in a video that surfaced on social media taunting trainer Chapman, who was subsequently arrested and charged with misdemeanor stalking of trainer Amira Chichakly, with whom he had a dispute over round pens between their two barns. Stabile was also licensed as a stable agent for one of Chichakly's owner.
At the time, according to the New York State Gaming Commission, Stabile's licenses were both listed as “unable to participate.” NYSGC staff declined to give a reason.
Stabile was taken off the air after the backstretch incident with Chapman. He officially resigned June 8, according to Daily Racing Form. A New York native, Stabile is now serving as part-time announcer and handicapper for Yonkers Raceway.
