    I am disappointed to report that Matt Chapman, who made a thinly veiled allusion to a controlled drug prior to the Class Grass Handicap at Roscommon tonight, failed to follow up with a suitably pithy comment when the race was won by jockey Leigh Roche.

    Opportunities for drug-related word play are all too rare in racing, and Chapman needs to take a long hard look at himself for making a total hash of it.

    What a big dope. Media coverage of racing really has gone to pot over the past while hasn’t it? Deserve to be publicly stoned, the lot of them.

    lol guys………I can’t believe I missed this, if I’d seen the name of the race, with Leigh Roche riding, I’d have put a few quid on FFS :negative: 10-1, I could have made a right good skin off of that.

    If the riders had been a bit more spaced out, they might have been blown away by one of them floating past as if flying. But none of them would have been out of it if the dopey leader had realised that being on a trip on this ground would have required that the jockey had been a bit more wasted. As it was, the winning jockey was rightly on a high at the end, and after those celebrations must have finished the day truly zonked.

    You’d assume most of my selections have been running on valium

    I’ve decided to follow Leigh Roche in races (or on horses) whose names have a connection with grass. I’m sure there are better systems, but I can’t think of one right now.

    Anyway, assuming the beast stands its ground for the 4.45 at Tipperary tomorrow, my road to untold riches will commence with a small wager on High Honcho.

    Do like your selection system, sorry if I am laughing (you wont see it). Honcho is a known Herbecide name… where is the Grass bit? B-)

    Matt has obviously been sent on one of those attheraces culture courses we are always hearing about.

    However, while I applaud him for correctly identifying Gustave Mahler as a miserable composer, an adjective with which I totally agree, I do not wish to be advised by Chapman to listen to Mahler if I’m feeling depressed tonight.

    Matt needs to remember he is a racing presenter and not a counsellor for depressed persons. Anyway, I prefer the Smiths on such occasions.
