I have to wonder what goes through Kevin Blake's head when he appears on these shows.

He must just do it for the dough.

He's intelligent, knowledgable, extremely well connected and articulate.

And he's got to share the stage with Chapman and all his baggage.

Tom Scu is a jockey I grew to appreciate latterly in his career after slating him for long enough. He sounds articulate but is actually doing well to cover up nerves, much better at doing so than his father, but occasionally letting his mouth get ahead of is brain. Today's gaffe was talking about a 'care of duty' to a horse. Forgivable and slaggable among friends in the pub but if you're going to take big money to appear on TV you need to be getting these things right.
