Who is M C Chapman?
Mr Michael Christopher Chapman is a race horse trainer (according to company house) and is located at Market Rasen just across the road from the course.
He his held in very high esteem by the biggest bookmakers in the country as being a guaranteed profit maker for their companies.
The last horse that he sent to the races and won with was on the 8th Nov 2018 the time before that was 24th June 2016. If my memory serve me right on both occasions it was on the eve of a blue moon.
More recently he has had little success with 200 runners and not a winners to show for it.
He had a very strange way when sending out the training invoice to the owners that the cheque had to be made out to M Chapman and not M C Chapman and I believe there where three M Chapman's living at the address during the time of my dealings with him.
He made the local press a number of years ago when he had one of his lunar winners that the horses success had been achieved by feeding it with Royal Jelly capsules!
It is said that before becoming a race horse trainer he was well known for being an insurance salesman although wikipedia cannot confirm this hence (unconfirmed).
With not wanting to go on any more I hope this clarifies who our small shareholder (£500 in 2002) on the board his, that being, a race horse trainer with no known ability of being a horse whisperer.
Thanks for replying but I was actually being a little on the sarcastic side as I'm not sure anyone would know him if they walked past him in the street never mind at BP. |

Had quite a few minute shares in different horses over the years, but now shares are way too expensive.
I was at Southwell one day with a runner, got chatting to Michael, when he suggested that we transfer the horse to him, 'I'm a good trainer I am ' was his remark.
I made a lot of friends through ownership's, and notably a Newmarket trainer now retired, who still remains a very good friend.
Does Michael Chapman seriously regard himself as a good trainer? His record is absolutely terrible. I suppose he has passion for it mind. |

Horse racing again.
Some years ago I had a share in a successful racehorse called 'Glenbuck'.

I had one like that but it was at Southwell on a New Years day.
Don't think it went to the glue factory though, could have finished up in Tesco burger for all I know.
Alas, I still got one of those invoices.
Do we have any other board members who have an interested in the equine world?
To use a local saying, "Bit of a rum lad is our Michael".
In 2007 I took the plunge and bought a decent share in my first racehorse. Since then I have had a further six horses mainly with two of the North's top trainers, Kevin Ryan and David O'Meara. Over the years and with a couple of the horses turning out to be decent I've enjoyed meetings all over the country, including four big meetings at Ascot and about a dozen at York Standing in the parade ring, and better still the winner's enclosure is something very special, especially when you've pipped Sir Alex Fergy's and Camilla's horse. Better still, standing with Shaun Pearson and Macca in the stand at Ripon watching our horse burst through to win. Not surprisingly Shaun nearly hit the roof, and more surprisingly, Macca was as cool as a cucumber. Brilliant ! |

Looking at his horse training record and the performance of some of our players over the years I wonder if he’s been helping out on the training ground.

Looking at the pitch this season, I wonder if he's had his horses training on that too. |

Probably earns his living by selling the horses for a profit. |
