Cork yesterday was the last Irish Flat meeting to be covered by Matt Chapman .
He came , he saw a very sparse crowd watch moderate racing but did his best to liven up a dead atmosphere.
He was interviewed on track and told of his sadness at leaving the irish scene behind.
He spoke affectionately of his encounters with Irish racing personalities.
He signed a few autographs on the agreement that he would be dead before we offered them on ebay.
By all accounts he attempted to interview Charles Byrnes today at Clonmel; Byrnes refused on the basis of Matt's comment years ago that Charlie should not be allowed hold a licence.
Catch him at a racecourse near you sometime soon before Brexit Racing hits (or is missing from ) your screens.
P.S. Another celebration of Cork Racing to be held in a Cork City hotel Thursday October 18 .
Last year had Davy Russell raving about Samcro among others so hopefully an enjoyable night ahead.
