Faithful Garby spent almost a year out of the harness racing winner's circle but at Luxbet Park Hobart on Sunday night she bounced back with a vengeance.
She scored an effortless win in the Mark Geeves Pace over 2579 metres scoring by almost 17 metres from Remember Joe with Sapphire Swayze a close-up third.
The mare spent almost a year campaigning in Victoria and New South Wales producing a few minor placings before returning to Tasmania at the end of April.
She spent just over four months in the care of James Rattray who campaigned the five-year-old at Menangle where she two minor placings and a couple of fourths from eight outings.
Now back with Melissa Maine at Latrobe, Faithful Gabby has had four starts with two seconds leading up to this latest win suggesting she is on track to keep winning back in her home state.
Faithful Gabby has won 10 and been placed as many times from only 30 starts for just over $90,000 in stakes with her biggest win the $30,000 Group 3 Granny Smith final in Devonport last year.
