I wonder if the producers had planned this and Chapman can just hear the script throughhis ear piece?
I find Megan Nicholl really annoying too!It was an uncomfortable few moments.
Also the toadyness of our anchor about our King and Queen.I have long been mentioning the shrinking thoroughbred gene pool. I manage a Facebook group called Fine Thoroughbreds which is about 20thc racing. There is a marked deteriorate of racehorses, the Northern American thoroughbred has dominated in the late of the Mid Century. The horse has become almost a composite animal. They are looking all alike, especially from Coolmore.
Pick up a Timeform Annual from the 1960s and you will see different types of horses. More bone, less pretty heads, more browns and less bright bays. You never saw silver tails (these must be a trait of Natalma), white legs and blazes from Northern Dancer. So many crosses from N D and his sons and even now they are crossing mares.
It were inevitable that thoroughbreds are going shatter on grass.
What can we do? There are so few lines to use apart from using arab and they are pretty inbred as well.What was so annoying was the total toadyness. Okay we have a new Monarch and we are pleased that he Monarchy is continuing with horseracing, but their anchor is embarrassing
No pink demonstrations at Badminton Horse Trials?
Horse racing is just a soft target.She is such a terrible presenter. She is just rubbing it everytime about the William’s little girl and every is “the great”.
It was a horrible fall. You could see them covering the horse with see through plastic, even when the the runners were passing the post.
The woman said she was with her hubsand and they were having a day out. So why were they in the infield?
Yes they would have to wear leather if there was no oil and biproducts.
Dozy people. I have a relation who is deeply involved with the Stop Oil campaign. I haven’t asked about what she thinks of stopping horseracing though, too anxious. She used to ride and I have been to Newmarket several times with her
I think there is a feeling of a cult with many of them.I met a friend for lunch today and I was afraid she might be mentioning the race, She was so angry with me because I like racing. So I can quite understand what Sandy is finding. Unfortunately people are not thinking clearly about the issues here.

Really good report by Sandy Thomson from the BBC.I heard that the same prostetors were planning to disrupt the coronation because horses are they involved. The security will hopefully be better than at Aintree.
Really sad to see, lovely horse, horrible injury.
What is this with NH horses breaking legs on the flat? There have been so many this season, I never remember as many. That terrible double death at Sedgefield.
Two fatalities at the meeting They moved the camera swiftly away. I thought it looked bad.
I am also an artist. Though I like a neatly plaited mane, a plaited tail if it is a jumper, not so keen on all the Grakle nose bands and they can look ugly. There is a real element of fashion, in the 1970s there were Australian rubber nose bands, not seen as much now. I used to see horses with sharks teeth just brushed in, now there are really elaborate stencils, some look very over the top.
