Chapman working for Betfair tonight at towcester

works for racecourse...he is there every fixture

He lives only 20 mins away

tbf good luck to him...far worse out there on the gravy train who contribute zero....love or hate him he has an opinion and isnt afraid to make a comment which is a far cry from many who love the fence..

I totally agree Overseas I just wish he got rid of that French polisher he employs.

Butter me up first Chapman has an opinion?, well shiver me.....I never noticed.

He's an opinion alright, the I'm always right opinion shoved down everybodies throat and if proven to be wrong his opinion was still right.

sorry for stating the obvious greaser.....at least its not Perham, Enzo, Boycie or even on the other channel Dixon tonight..

The hardest working man in show business, a grafter in a suit is Matt.

o/seas the guy has his fan boys but he's too in your face for my liking, once the camera is rolling shouty man wants to dominate the tv screen, I much prefer my presenters to be less noticeable.

Lydia Hislop can say a lot and much more than Chapman will ever say without feeling the need to overpower our tv screens.

Are you sure it is not her other assets?

^

Lydia is a lot more noticeable than Matt hear

His ego is bigger tha Lydia's assets. Too big for my liking. The only ATR presenter I can stomach is Gary O'Brien.

I couldn`t possibly comment watchit but I think I could be persuaded.

I don't normally go for ladies carrying condition but I do like Lydia, it would be a goer as long as she promised not to talk about racing.

Steady on Brother, I`ll get nose bleed.

Now I`m bleeding.

Did he have his 'machine' with him?

I was at an evening meeting there last year when my chaser was running and just before the race, while I was in the parade ring with friends  talking to the trainer and jockey, chapman just pushed right in between us all without an "excuse me" or anything, and stood with his back to me while he spoke to the trainer.

he is by far the rudest racing presenter on the planet. 

luckily I already had a very low opinion of him so I was neither surprised nor disappointed by his behaviour that evening.

Why didn't you pull him up on it?

Why didn't you pull him up on it?

one of my friends who knew I didn't like chapman laughed and said "don't do it" when he saw me get annoyed.
in the end we just had a laugh about it in the bar afterwards, where we met Jonjo and chatted to him about Dawn Run, so a great night was had by all.
even the horse helped by finishing placed at a big price so chapman was just an insignificant annoyance on an otherwise memorable night.

fair enuff Outpost maybe it was just aswell you didn't say anything i'm glad you ended up having a good evening
