WATCH: A bizarre inside joke about a jockey’s mother made its way on to At The Races

The presenter's expression is priceless

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.

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?

This look from Matt Chapman once the broadcast went back to studio said it all.
