THE spat between Kieren Fallon and Matt Chapman took up plenty of column inches with a host of comments, informed and not so informed, added to the mix during the week. The reality is that it could be easily filed away under much ado about nothing.

Fallon might have had some case to make had he not reached for the “how many winners have you ridden” card and then applying it selectivity. Chapman is accused of knowing nothing about racing as he has never ridden, while the likes of Graham Cunningham are absolved of the same crime.
