OK, what?
There is not a whole lot that can leave the usually unflappable At The Races presenter Matt Chapman speechless.
But after this he was nothing short of dumbstruck, tongue-tied, voiceless. The man was, quite literally, without speech. He was flapped.
All it took was a brief but beautifully bizarre exchange between jockey Josephine Gordon and the on-course presenter Derek Thompson.
One of our favourite clips in a long time!

Here’s how it played out.
Derek: And was your mum watching from Devon tonight, as always?
Josephine: She’d be in bed.
Derek: If I know your mum, she certainly won’t.
“If I know your mum, she certainly won’t.”
“If I know your mum, she certainly won’t.”
“If I know your mum, she certainly won’t.”
What the hell does that mean?
