In general, I like Chapman. More so when he stops trying to be a character. (The Proclaimers song on the Opening Show was terrible) He is cleverer than he lets on and asks the questions that racing fans would like answers to. Probably adds more to the programme than the others.
However, it was more that Trevor Hemmings seemed pretty emotional when talking about the winner and was abrubtly cut off.
I also think asking Sam and Paul Nicholls about Sam's future and apparent rumours (are these always there) was a bit off on the walk in following a National win. Was Arpege d'Alene ok?
It revealed nothing about the rumours but did show me how hard Nicholls would be to work with and that his will to win is almost a personality flaw.
The other elephant in the room is that nice and all that Sam is, he is a long way off being a champion jockey.

[QUOTE="HawkWing, post: 2421180, member: 65640"] In general, I like Chapman. More so when he stops trying to be a character. (The Proclaimers song on the Opening Show was terrible) He is cleverer than he lets on and asks the questions that racing fans would like answers to. Probably adds more to the programme than the others. However, it was more that Trevor Hemmings seemed pretty emotional when talking about the winner and was abrubtly cut off. I also think asking Sam and Paul Nicholls about Sam's future and apparent rumours (are these always there) was a bit off on the walk in following a National win. Was Arpege d'Alene ok?

The other elephant in the room is that nice and all that Sam is, he is a long way off being a champion jockey. [/QUOTE]
