Day 3, Part 2 Racing: Royal Ascot

rang coming around the leaders. Field of Miracles.

We have seen success so far in the Ribble deal's stake.

The presentation was made by a model, who has been on the front

cover of voyage and is the face of channel. Or was the face of it.

The winning owner. Jim Bolger on the left. They have a

huge breeding operation. I don't want to be crash in mentioning

money, but -- cras in mentioning money. They bred the winner of the

Derby a few years ago. They sold him to Sheik Mohammed.

He gave him as a present. He must have made millions out of breeding.

Yoz you say, we mustn't talk about money. He has made wagons loads.

Here is Fame And Glory. He was such a classy horse as a two and three

year old. It is interesting that they have picked him to follow in

the footsteps of Yates. He will try and be their staying champion.

Don't forget Yates won the coronation cup before he went on to

a cup campaign in marathon distances. Fame And Glory won the

Coronation Cup last year. It is a good precursor to a career in long-

distance races. Aidan O'Brien, he was criticising himself saying he

thought he had left So You Think undercooked.

If he stays, he wibs. -- wins. Joining me is Catherine

Elizabeth, who is currently making a hat for us, live on the BBC. How

is it going? Very good. So far we have all the feathers together. I

have stripped them and curled them into this section. That big ostrich

feather you saw earlier on. We have curled that around. The pheasant

feather also. We have the other pheasant feathers too. A Guinea

foul feather on the top. The clock is ticking. Some lovely ladies. You

will have seen Paula before over the years. Always you dress so

beautifully for Ascot. How tricky is it? Normally a last-minute thing

for me. This year, more organised. I managed to pick out my outfit in

the January season. What are you wearing? I am wearing Wren Scot on

the bottom and a Stephen Jones hat. And then are you girls friends

together? No. We just met. Talk us through what you are wearing? A far

dire Freeman hat. Are you happy with the weather?

has stopped raining. How can you not enjoy a day like today?

Who is here? What I want to say is these ladies are my cup of tea. Not

only has she used the hat to her advantage, but it is that marriage

of hair. When you wear hats it is important to bring it up, show off

that beautiful swan-like neck line. If you wear a hat and have long

hair you should always wear your hair up and off your face? I would

advise that. It brings out the hat. You have short bobbed hair. It is

showing that feature. If you have long hair, my advice is sweep it

down, maybe to one side. It gives that lovely photographic silhouette.

That is really important as well. There are lots of tips I could

spend on it. We are only here for a short time. The girls look spot-on.

These feathers. We have seen quite a few fantastic feathers. It is

actually burnt ostrich feather. You can do a technique where you dye

them and do acid burning as well. They are great. These originate

from the ostrich from Africa. You have many things to do. You can

strip them back and have that lovely quill. You can do this

effect. I think it is great. It gives a lovely shroud. It works

beautifully. Continue to enjoy your wonderful Ascot day. See you later.

Just being saddled up is Blue Bajan. His trainer David O 'Meara there.

He is bidding to be the first 13- year-old since 1902.

-- first winner of the race. We are at the stables at the foot

of the North Yorkshire Moors. Having a look at one of racing's

seasoned campaigners, Blue Bajan. Can his trainer and his young rider

master mind Gold Cup success? You have a really great

relationship with Danny. You've had a terrific year. How do you think

Danny will handle the big day? problem. Danny's more competent.

He's a good jockey. He knows the horse. He has huge confidence. No

problems at all. We have the right man on board. Blue Bajan - what is

he like as a horse to ride? He's a great ride. He's a nine-year-old.

He does not feel that at all. Big baby. It feels like he's ready to

David has a new lifeline since coming here. He seems to be

improving. After more than a year out with a tendon injury Blue Bajan

followed up to six nth the Chester Cup and second in the Yorkshire Cup

with a career win in the stakes last month. He was going three

furlongs out. Probably could have done with

something taking a bit fuller. I got there too soon really. It must

have been pleasing to see him quicken away from his field then?

It was. I think the two-and-a-half mile at Ascot will suit him better.

He's one horse in the race that is guaranteed to stay. Does he have a

preference to ground? It was soft that day at Sandown. If it is soft

at Ascot, then it would not be a problem. Maybe better, if anything.

The opposition in the race, obviously you have beaten one or

two of the races -- horses in there? Fame And Glory could be the

next Yates. Then you have Duncan, who beat us half a length at York.

I would not be afraid to take Duncan on again. Then you have

Holiday For Kitten, who started up there as third favourite, who --

then we have Holberg, what started up there as third favourite.

What is he like in the yard, Blue Bajan? He's a lovely horse. He

mingles in the background. He makes a big impact. He's easy to deal

with. Everyone gets on with him. He's a pleasure to have. How would

it feel to you, as a trainer, to get hold of that Ascot Gold Cup?

often wanted to win, I thought it would be the Cheltenham. That would

be fantastic. It would be great for the owners. They've bred this horse,

I mean, they love him to bits. It would be great for them. The Gold

Cup. Do you dare to dream you would win the race? Not really. I cannot

sleep at nights already. That would just be an amazing feeling.

You know, every jockey wants to have a Group One winner at Royal

Ascot. This is my chance. I might not get another chance like

this again. I think I've got a great ride in the race and I

wouldn't swap him for anything. What a great opportunity it is.

Here he is, Blue Bajan. This is the day itself.

He's been saddled there by David O 'Meara.

Danny Tudhope, there he is. He's looking forward to the biggest ride

of his career. What a moment for him! I am joined by Mick fits

Gerald who will look at this -- Fitzgerald.

He looks relaxed. He must have run this race through his mind millions

of times. He would have done that. When you are a young jockey, to

have a big ride in a big race, there is no bigger than the Gold

Cup. For him it will be a dream come true. We have a horse in here

who is a class horse, Fame And Glory. Yates did it. He was a

favourite for the Derby. He has been runner up in a Derby, a

Coronation Cup winner. Stamina has to kick in today, doesn't it?

does have to kick in. He has a great man on his back, Jamie

Spencer. We will look at this in more detail

later on. Here's the course. We take off. Two-and-a-half miles.

Up to the judge. You see the big Grandstand on the left there as

they come up. Then they swing sharply right-handed and a mile-

and-a-half to go. You can almost let them free-wheel. This is where

he said the ground was at the worst. It will take a good one to get home

here. Jamie will hope Fame And Glory has plenty up his sleeve.

it's come. I have seen some gambles in my time. I've been part of one

of them. This could be the biggest gamble ever. I said they would take

2-1. 13-8 has gone. It is 6-4. The way they're going this could start

even money. There is fortunes for this horse. I have never seen money

like this in my life for one horse at Royal Ascot.

Willie and I are having a look at the horses in the paddock. Fame And

Glory. I just mention briefly that Aidan O'Brien thought he could have

made him fitter. I don't think there is any doubt that this horse

will be as fit as he can get him today. He's had a couple of runs

this season and the fact this is going to be a truly exacting test

of his stamina. It is a true test of stamina because of the rain, it

confirmed front-runner. He likes soft ground. He will go his own

pace. It will make a test for everything in the race. Now Fame

And Glory, he is a horse with tremendous class.

A Coronation Stakes.... Coronation Cup., Cup - sorry.

He ran a tremendous race in the Arc last year. The reason he is running

in the Gold Cup is they have so many good mile and a half horses at

ballly doil. I would like to -- Ballydoyle.

I would like to point this one out. Opinion Poll. He is a full horse.

You know, he's a five year old. Smallish horse. Very compact. I

don't think you should look for so much muscle in a two-and-a-half

mile race. He used to be with Michael Jarvis. What he needs is

soft ground. He'll get it today. Definitely. You don't think he has

a big chance? I'm not saying anything. You're the one that's

giving him a big chance. I would rather prefer others instead.

else? Fame And Glory is a class horse in the race. And of course

you have Kasbah Bliss. He has been around the world a bit. He is a

gelding.... A big hurdler? He has run at Cheltenham. His stamina - he

will stay. That is what you have to do today, you have to stay the trip.

Let's have a wander around this packed paddock. It is a big field

for this Gold Cup. Kieran Fallon talking here.

Just over here, this is not relevant to this race, but just, I

know you'll be interested if you are watching, Elizabeth Hurley,

getting a kiss there. She has a share in a thorough bred horse

running later. Down here in the Gold Cup, because I imagine she

wants to get a look at the runners. The Ballydoyle camp over here. It

is interesting that the owners who have bought into this horse, again

we saw them in the royal procession earlier. Gorge Middleton talking to

Georgina Andrews. We will cut through. If I can find

Bliss. Used to be a long-distance hurdler, now is restricted to

running on the flat. He's a very good horse. Soft ground.

He has got form on ground which has soft in it. I wonder if.... Are you

happy with everything with Kasbah Bliss? I'm happy with preparation

and happy with the morale of the horse. Not quite happy about your

English weather! I would have done without it. The horse has got a

chance like everyone. He's a hard fighter. He's a superstar. He's

nine years old now. On the ground, I tell you some people who are

unhappy about it, Judy The Beauty, fancied for tomorrow, she has been

taken out because of the ground having turned to the soft side.

Another non-runner is Hinchin. We have happened upon the Fame And

Glory team. Jamie Spencer, who has a contract to ride the horses

ridden by this lady here. How did you enjoy the royal procession?

want to do it again! I suspect you and your husband, you would like to

win the Gold Cup? I hope so. I pray to God. I hope so.

Jim, explain to me, if you don't mind, Fame And Glory, whose

decision was it to start to test him out on longer distances? Aidan,

Derek Smith. The whole team, the whole team. We are lucky to be a

big part of it. It is an interesting new adventure for you?

The Ascot Gold Cup. It is the dream race to be in. We think we've the

right horse to do it. We wish you well as well. He is a hot favourite.

You look fantastic. That is a stunning hat. She says she would

love to do the royal procession all over again, given the chance.

Everybody looks terribly smart. You do see the best outfits here. This

fella here, just explain Mr Ward how many horses you train at home

in Ireland and the set-up you have there? I have four horses in

training. I have a restricted license. It allows me four horses.

I mainly am a sheep farmerer. I keep a lot of sheep.

We enjoy our horses. She won here last year. Wants to come back for a

race of this calibre. There's little staying handicaps in Ireland.

We are looking at Fictional Account. Your filly now. You have run her at

Ascot. She does not like the travelling much. She's a bad

traveller. We -- actually she travelled well this year. Travel is

not my worry today. The worry today is the ground will be dead, you

know. We'll take our chance. If she runs like the way she ran in

Leopardstown she should be all right. She is owned by a sinty date.

Here they all are. This is -- syndicate. Here they are all. How

much would it mean for her to put up a big performance today? Such a

small stable. A small syndicate. It would mean everything to us. It is

a great pleasure to be here. We hope, the weather has turned bad

for us. If she's in the first four, we'll be very happy. I am happy

with the tie, which co-ordinates with your colours. Deliberate, I

assume. I had to go to Sweden to get this Thai. Did you? Couldn't --

to get this tie. Did you? Couldn't get it in England or

Ireland. The best of luck to the Fictional Account. It is one of

those stories you normally only hear in a book of faction. A guy

with 300 sheep. Four horses. Friends and families who help out,

has a horse in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. We have just watched

Tastahil. I thought you said it's an old

man's ride. It is, isn't it. He's a lovely horse. He's coming in great

form N summary, which are the horses in the paddock you like?

Tastahil is one. He looked really relaxed. Of course we know he'll

like the ground. He likes the distapbsz. He's unfortunately a --

distance. He's unfortunately a front-runner. Fame And Glory, he

looks a fantastic, you know, horse. Here we go for the Mr Raid -- for

the parade for the Gold Cup. The parade is led by Aaim To Prosper.

The horse's owner came over and said "We hope he runs well." Then

we have Askar Tau. A very Lean jockey on board. He won here in

April. Then we have Blue Bajan. You know all about him if you saw the

feature. This horse, second in the Yorkshire

Cup, behind Duncan. Here is Duncan n the pink colours.

William Buick on board. He's never been on a trip as far as this. He's

talented. He has his own ideas about racing. William will need to

be at his coaxing best. He likes it here at Ascot. 8-11. Fame And Glory.

Class, class, class. He's a four- time Group One winner. He yet could

be in the mould of Yates. This horsz, Geordieland was third to him

once. It will be the training performance of the lifetime if he

could get Geordieland to win the Gold Cup. Then we have Holberg, who

won the Queen's vase at this meeting in 2009. Now in with the

Godolphin camp. Then Kasbah Bliss. You heard that the owner didn't

like the English weather. You know he will stay. He has a turn of foot.

Manighar. Kieran Fallon fancies the chances of this horse. He will let

him canter on down. Opinion Poll, a lot of money for this horse this

morning when the rain was falling. Then we have Tastahil, who won the

jockey cup at Newmarket. That's Fictional Account. That's Motrice.

The only one we didn't really see revolve around whether Fame And

Glory will prove as effective over today's marathon trip of two-and-a-

half miles as he has over a mile shorter. The rest will struggle to

lower his colours. It's a competitive race. The trip is an

unknown. We will not know until he gets into that last six furlongs

whether he'll stay or not. He's a lovely horse to ride. Really

looking forward it to. If he doesn't then Blue Bajan could take

advantage. This nine-year-old seemed better than ever when

winning at Sandown last time around and could give his trainer a dream

day with his second Royal Ascot winner. Duncan defeated Blue Bajan

at York. The question mark over this six year old, is Fame And

Glory, will he see out today's distance, especially given the

conditions will be tougher now there's been some rain. He's got

good speed for a horse that stays, as we know, as -- so far. Whether

he'll get the last four furlongs is another thing. Holberg is the

choice of Frankie Dettori. He won the Queen's vase here at the Royal

Meeting two years ago. The fact the going has eased is a negative.

There is a positive for Dettori's rejected runner Opinion Poll.

Formally smart in his native France Manighar has yet to win a race in

Britain. He ran a series of good races last year. He was not far

behind Duncan last month at York. He beat me by a short head. On that

occasion he got first run at me. I think I would have beaten him. He

went on to win the Melbourne Cup. Tastahil was well beaten in this 12

months ago but comes into the race on the back of one of his best ever

runs. He is expected to do better this time around. And there's the

old favourite Kasbah Bliss. He is not as potent as he was once at the

age of nine. But he is still capable of smart form and should

enjoy the moisture in the ground. Fame And Glory is the top-rated

horse in this. The equation seems simple e,, if he stays, he wins,

but we know, nothing is that simple. So Fame And Glory, all in the ring

Richard Power here on the boards. Richard, the favourite, Fame And

Glory. You were the biggest price this morning. You are the father of

Paddy Power. Have you ever seen a gamble like this? It has been huge.

It went 9-4 on track here. They have taken every price. Every price

down to 5-4. The other side of me I have Geoff Banks, you will remember

his father. 11-8 is favourite. You have laid it at 2-16789 you are

still going top of the shop, why? will need a blood transfusion if

this wins. Ladbrokes cannot stop backing this horse. 2-1. 13-8. 6-4.

Now 11-8. It has not stopped. That's Geoff Banks there. He's a

brave, brave man. He really is. Here's the Gold Cup. The oldest

race here. 1807 it was first run. It has a special run in people's

affections because of the distance and because of the type of horses

we get. This was stand out Fame And Glory in the paddock. He is such a

handsome horse. He is venturing in the unknown here. We have seen

classy horses coming here before and doing it. So long as he relaxes

and switches off. He has the class and, the distance, well the soft

ground will be the biggest danger to him. That would drag on his

stamina. Although he likes the ground, but it is a long two-and-a-

half miles. He just needs to switch off. That's the... That's

Geordieland going in. Richard Hughes there. A really good...

There's Blue Bajan. Ran a hell of a race at Sandown. Fame And Glory

will obviously be a big story, The Betchworth Kid could be the second

Is this horse, Fame And Glory another Yates? We will soon find

out. They are racing in the Gold Cup. On

the inside Fame And Glory began best of all. Still reigned in. Down

near the inside Holberg going on from Manighar. Here is Tastahil,

wider out with the big wide face is going to take it out. The

Betchworth Kid is further back in the field. They settle into stride

now. They race up the home straight. Aaim To Prosper, looming up on the

inside has gone up to join Tastahil. Tastahil from Aaim To Prosper and

tucked in behind them is Holberg in the blue jacket of Godolphin.

Tucked away behind Holberg is Fame And Glory. Duncan on his outside,

Askar Tau. They continue their journey up the home straight on the

first occasion. Kasbah Bliss is tucked awhich on the inside fence.

Followed by Brigantin. Motrice on the outside of Blue Bajan. Opinion

Poll, with the white cap. Further back Geordieland in company with

Fictional Account. Last is The Betchworth Kid, as they continue

their journey up the home straight. Tastahil setting a fair gallop.

thing with this horse is he loves to get into a rhythm. Right at the

very back, Hayley Turner on The Betchworth Kid.

Richard Hughes having a job to settle Geordieland at the back.

Jamie spepbs spepbs, he has Fame And Glory -- Spencer, he has Fame

And Glory in a good position. He won't be unhappy. Tastahil past the

judges. Three lengths to Aaim To Prosper. A length away then on the

inside is Holberg, as they swing sharply right-handed past the

stands. In fourth is Duncan, followed by Aaim To Prosper. Deeper

on the track is Geordieland. Improving now from Manighar and

Kasbah Bliss. A length to Askar Tau.

Further back Brigantin. Four horses behind him, Motrice is one of them,

Opinion Poll another. Further back Fictional Account and The

Betchworth Kid. Whips them in as they run past the mile-and-a-half.

Tastahil the leader by three lengths. Holberg still tucked away.

Geordieland is widest of all, as they run down now towards the mile.

Fame And Glory tucked away, racing a little keepblly. Followed by --

keenly. Opinion Poll is second last. Last is Fictional Account.

Body language tells you Jamie Spencer, he has not moved a muscle.

He is sitting as quiet as a mouse at the moment.

And as Geordieland swept around them and taken them up. He's trying

to surprise them. Geordieland kicking away, by three lengths to

Tastahil. Aaim To Prosper, who has dropped back as they start this

uphill climb. Six furlongs left to go in the Ascot Gold Cup. Manighar

on the outside. Nicely as they start to group up

Askar Tau out wide. Brigantin going forward. Further

back in the field is Fictional Account. Tastahil is out in front.

On the outside Duncan. Duncan has moved up to take the lead. So

Duncan takes it up. Geordieland has dropped right out. So Duncan kicks

on here by a length-and-a-half. Aaim To Prosper on the inside of

Manighar. A length away then is Askar Tau. Followed on the inside

by Holberg. Motrice around the outside. Fame And Glory coming now

in the centre. He's making a fast forward move now. They round the

home turn. And it's Duncan who heads up for home in front. Here's

Fame And Glory. Two furlongs left to go. It's Fame And Glory who is

racing up on the outside. Grabs the lead now. He bursts away from them.

Goes a length-and-a-half in front. Duncan battles in. Followed by

Manighar. Opinion Poll, Fame And Glory in front. Opinion Poll trying

hard. A half furlong left to go. Fame And Glory getting a bit weary,

but he has enough in hand. Fame And Glory, the class horse for the

field wins the Ascot Gold Cup. Second Opinion Poll, third

Brigantin. Followed in fourth then on the outside by Manighar. They

were followed by Askar Tau and then Kasbah Bliss, followed then by

Duncan and Aaim To Prosper and then further back is Motrice, from Blue

Bajan, then Fictional Account. They were followed by The Betchworth Kid.

And walking across the line, Gold Cup. He won it it by three

lengths from Opinion Poll. Flashing home for third, Brigantin. Just

ahead of Manighar in fourth. In fifth, Askar Tau. Top of the screen

there, Duncan. Just below him is Kasbah Bliss. They were followed

then by by Aaim To Prosper and then a gap of five lengths or so,

Motrice. There followed then by Blue Bajan and then a long gap.

Still another five behind them so you can see how strung out they are.

This is The Betchworth Kid and another couple walk across the line.

In the end, class did tell, and even in the conditions it was Fame

And Glory. This horse had run second to Sea the Stars in a derby.

He has come out here and won an Ascot Gold Cup and the class really

did show. When Jamie Spencer made his move,

it was a fast forward one and got him there. He didn't have any

worries about stamina. He won it as a two-year-old on heavy ground.

Jamie put him to sleep and put him in the right place at the right

time and the rest, as they say, is history.

He started the 11-8 favourite and landed a fortune in bets today.

He has fame and he has covered himself in glory! What a brave

performance from Fame And Glory. The money was definitely speaking.

The money was on this horse. Great confidence from his owners, but

huge confidence from Jamie Spencer who makes a winning move here,

turning into the strait, to angle out of the four horses ahead of him

to come flying past Manighar and Duncan and Askar Tau who has run so

well. Opinion Poll is the only one who comes from behind him to run on

in these closing stages and runs well, but what a race. What a race

to watch. What a race to savour and if you black Fame And Glory, go and

collect! A lovely performance. The class

horse has won the race. The only time there was a dault a a doubt

about whether he would win was when he came into the strait and Jamie

Spencer said, "Go." He didn't get the exact response he was expecting.

It took him about 20 strides before he picked up because obviously a

long race like that, oh there, there is happy, happy, yes, in a

long race, like that. All you are doing to the horse is go to sleep.

Go to sleep. Go to sleep and reserve energy and that's what he

was doing throughout the whole race and when it came to pick up time,

it took him a long kick to get the message that the race was on in

earnest. Jamie Spence salutes the crowd and

you have to salute them in choosing the right horse and Fame And Glory,

a genuine derby contender and a group one performer, very much in

the mould of Yeats. They said let's try and make him our Gold Cup horse.

Yeats won this race four years in a row. Fame And Glory has his first

one on the board at the age of five. He has proved that he is up to the

task of winning at least well at least one Gold Cup because he got T

he could come back and win it again next year. Lots of horses double up

in the Gold Cup. Very few can win three or four in a row. I ought to

mention Brigantin. He makes ground in the closing stages to take third

place and Geordieland took off, he was too keen with Richard Hughes

and something went wrong. He has broken blood vessels in the past

and I suspect what happened again. He dropped out. This horse was

incredible. There he is, a a good shot of him

there, Fame And Glory. He is a son of Manighar. Mick, saying it is

unfair to compare this horse to Yeats. Really, you could argue that

probably he done a little bit better than Yeats coming into this

group. He won an Irish derby. He was second to a champion in an

English derby, the coronation World Cup winner, the same as Yeats. He

has got credentials. Jamie had every confidence. You

could see when he sent him to the front he meant business. As a

jockey Jamie would have felt under pressure, he hasn't ridden the big

races like he used to. He was retained by the O'Brien stable a

few years ago and this will mean plenty to him.

It will. It will mean plenty to Michael Smith and Derek Tabore. A

huge thrill for them. There is also, I would say, a

little bit of joy in the camp to make up for the disappointment

yesterday with So You Think. Your Majesty, what a Gold Cup for

2011 and it has been won by Aidan O'Brien for the fifth time in his

career following in the footsteps of Yeats by Jamie Spencer for the

first time and all thanks to a bravery of a horse called Fame And

Glory. So the ladies are leading this one

Doreen Tabore, Gay Smith, there is Derek Smith joining them.

A truly appreciative crowd because this is a real class horse and he

has done a fantastic job today. He won officially by three lengths,

four-and-a-half lengths between second and third. Time 4.37.51 and

you will find that is around about 20 seconds outside the record set

last year by Right Of Passage. It gives you an idea of how much the

rain has set into the ground. But he has come through with class. He

has shown his class. He has shown his stamina and this man Jamie

Spencer, it is a huge day. It is a race Jamie will have wanted to have

won. It will mean a lot riding this winner for Ballydoyle. He was there

one season with Aidan. It didn't end well really. He came back over

here. I would say this is a big day for Jamie.

It is huge. Kullmore don't have a retained jockey anymore. They use

Ryan Moore when he is available. Aidan, how pleased are you with

that? Sure listen. We are delighted. We are delighted for everybody. I'm

delighted for Jamie. Listen, listen, thanks to everybody. Listen, thanks

for everybody for letting the horse with his class run in the Gold Cup.

Obviously like it is very few mile and a quarter group one rinners --

winners you see run in a Gold Cup. Have you made this horse a stayer

or is this what he wanted? I think when horses have so much class, it

can often, they can often stay and I think class makes them stay, you

know, what I mean? It is the ultimate test of class really when

you go that extreme distance and like I said, able to do it a much

shorter trip. We are privileged to have him.

When people were saying before the race they were worried about the

two-and-a-half miles, you were always confident that he may not be

a natural two-and-a-half mile horse, but class would get him through?

Like I say class is very hard to replace, but and listen, Jamie had

ridden him and he was happy and confident with him, listen and gave

him an unbelievable ride. Aidan, don't go anywhere because

you have got the winning jockey, Jamie Spencer. Jamie, take us

through your thoughts on the way the race developed? We didn't go

very fast early. Geordieland injected pace in. My fella wasn't

keen. Because he has so much class he is used to going a different

pace in races. He wanted an injection of pace to make it more

comfortable. It was an easy ride and I am privileged to be allowed

to to ride the horse. I want to thank the owners. They have had the

faith in allowing me to ride the horse, thank you to them.

How poignant a moment is for you to ride a Royal Ascot Gold Cup winner

for Aidan O'Brien having being stable jockey in 2007? We're

getting on better now! No No, no, it is great. He is a

great trainer. The first two races were about bringing the horse along.

I am tickled pink. Aidan, he has a 3-1 to win the race.

66-1 to match the achievement of Yeats and 200-1 to beat it. What

are your thoughts? Sure listen, I don't, listen, the plan was after

today was to give him a break and train him for the Arc again. So

listen, we'll take one step at a time and that's what we always did

to give him a run before the back end and we will give him a break

now and give him a run before the Arc.

And the Gold Cup next year? Wouldn't it be marvellous.

100 %. Her Majesty, the Queen, making her

way towards the presentation area and she will be handing the cup

over into very familiar hands and Sir Peter O'Sullevan bowing before

Her Majesty and having a quick chat. He is amazing. We talked about,

Prince Philip being 90, but Peter drives himself everywhere.

Yes, he drives that Mercedes up and down the country.

He never misses a day's racing as well.

Let's confirm the placings, the monumental and it was one of those?

That's what we are here for to report that. Nobody has escaped

this this gamble and next year for the Gold Cup William Hill Hill will

put up Fame And Glory 3-1. What can you do at 3-1, you have got to be

Well, Fame And Glory now that is his twelfth career win and he has

done it over two-and-a-half miles. The Gold Cup worth �156,698 to the

winner, but more importantly, it is the most prestigious, if not the

largest tro trophy, it is one of the smallest ones.

That's the Duke of Devonshire who is Her Majesty's representative. It

is his last year in that role and the Queen will have appreciated

every part of Fame And Glory because she revealed the Yeats

statue back on Tuesday and this horse in that mould and remember

Yeats won his first Gold Cup at five years old and Fame And Glory

has done the very same thing. We will go to the Arc next. The race

he finished fifth in behind Workforce. Normally you get soft

ground in France more than quick ground because it is the first

Sunday in October. And we will have coverage of that.

And there is the master, himself. He is so polite, Aidan, and very,

very modest. Yes. He always says it is a privilege to

train these horses, but my word it takes planning and it takes a

certain amount of special type of genius and he has got it. Yes.

He understands horses. He is in the same mould as Sir Henry Cecil.

And Aidan O'Brien moves on to 33 career wins at Royal Ascot, but for

Jamie Spencer, this is a renaissance, he has been through a

tough time in recent years and it is great for him to be back on a

horse of this quality and this sort of profile of horse as well.

And does ride a few horses for Her Majesty, at Michael Bell's yard.

They might have been having a little conversation about how the

work has been going on there. A 17th career win at Royal Ascot

for Jamie Spencer and his first first for two years and well done

Let's look at how they settled down in the race. This is after half a

mile. You see Fame And Glory, the purple cap in fourth or fifth

position. The second horse, Opinion Poll from the extreme right. He is

fourth from the back of the field. The French horse, green jacket, in

third position, Brigantin, he is towards the back. We will come to

the closing stages in a moment. Askar Tau the fifth horse in the

light colour and Manighar is just in in front of him. That's the way

they settled down, but let's look at the closing stages when they

came towards the home term. Here is Fame And Glory about to to make his

move. Here is Brigantin. Look as these two, they have come from

further than the winner off the pace. Opinion Poll has to get get

around Sir Mark Prescott's horse, but he begins to stay on. The thing

with him is the ground. He run second at 16-1. His connections

said he will go to Goodwood, but he does need soft ground which is what

he got today. The Melbourne Cup is the plan for the French horse,

Brigantin, the green jacket. A good run from him. Now of the

others, William Buick said Duncan ran too free. He is better when he

is allowed to dominate in races over a shorter trip. Two-and-a-half

miles for the first time today. Blue Bajan didn't say and Manighar

will be going fob the Cup races and they will lead to the Melbourne Cup,

the time here today 16.5 seconds slower than average. Don't worry

about that. There is few races won over 2.5 miles at ast cot. That's -

- Ascot, that's not the most reliable of tapels. -- times.

There is There is thrilling for those who supported Fame And Glory.

Our feature race of the day has been and gone, but we have three

races, two of them on BBC Two and the final one will be on the Red

Button and the Britannia is coming up next. A maximum field of of 30

runners for that and it will be an incredible sight to see them coming

down the strait. Then we have the Tercentenary Stakes. Final Finally

on the Red Button we will have the King George V handicap. The

favourite is Census. Yes, some terrific fashion in a

moment. We will flick over to Louis who is with Catherine Elizabeth.

darling, I need to know how is your fabulous creation coming along?

is coming along quite nicely and we are just stripping the last feather

to put on to this piece. We are stripping it down the side and do a

bit of curling on it just to create the same effect we have got on this

hat. I want to see this.

This is what you call curling of an ostrich feather. This is wonderful.

Get the scissors on it quick. No pressure!

No pressure! Just curl it around like that and

then we can did a little bit of trimming. While Catherine is

continuing to finish her hat, I am joined by fashion Royalty. This is

fashion designer, Anthony Price and fashion historian and journalist

Judith Watt. Thank you for coming on the show today. I'm really

excited to talk to you. It is 300 years of Royal Ascot, Judith it is

important that we look back and look at some of the image and if

you could talk us through this fabulous black and white footage

that we have got from the 1930s, that would be terrific.

I would love to. What you have got here, oh it is charming, isn't it?

Look at the hair. So what we have got here, it is the Duchess of

Argyl. That was one of the greatest figures of fashion in the 30s. You

see the similarities today, hats have barely changed really from the

30s until now. Again, the importance of a veil. Oh, there is

the Queen Mother, fantastic and elegant.

Isn't that interesting what you said about hats not changing much?

We saw a lot here at Ascot today. Well, a hat is a hat, and it is an

important statement and it is wonderful to see the different

women wearing hats today because you don't normally see them. There

is a fantastic variety, your Philip Treacy is beautiful, but the same

shape as we saw in the 30s footage. Shape is something Anthony that you

are keen on and structuring shape and we had Bryan Ferry here

yesterday who was singing her praises, but you do like to turn a

woman into a mannequin? Well, Bryan have been con sors of presentation

and yes, I like, I had a family who were shapely and I started making

clothes for probably my sisters and for the first time I started to

understand female shape. As I say, beautifully shaped dresses, a

girl's toys like boys toys are cars and boats. It is very important to

girls. I love making clothes for beautiful women with shapes like

that. Well, this is one of yours. The

shape is absolutely amazing. I don't have a waist. To see a waist

is extraordinary. That's the first I have seen of it

until I arrived. My eyes popped out and I thought if somebody else had

done that, I would kill them. We have some great models. Talk us

through what we are seeing. The dresses are by Vivienne

Westwood. This is based on an 1840s style. It is a quinlin-style dress.

What is interesting is the very modern 1980 style sleeves. Again,

you have got something based on the Cecil Beaton dress. Vivian has done

a bias cut. It is sexy and contemporary and contemporary

drapes, don't you think, an knee? That look, everybody designer is

copying. It is the use of drapes in by tsar ways.

-- bizarre ways. I love the Stephen Jones hat. This

is based on a 1940s style. The hat was hat was everything and this

model is ravishing for this hat. The dress is lovely, but the hat is

the winner. It is a work of Hart. -- art.

The girls are beautiful. The girls are all beautiful. Sorry,

you are all beauties and the hats are all by Stephen Jones. They are

such statement pieces. They are masterful.

Judith, thank you very much. Anthony, are you pleased with

everything you have seen today. The Tracey hat is excellent when it

comes to shape, but we have the Jones today. We have got them all.

Ascot at its best. Anthony, thank you.

Thank you, Suzi. Jamie Spencer with the Gold Cup. It is worth more than

its weight in gold to any jockey to manages to win this race. Jamie

winning it for the first time in his career. What a horse as well.

And going back into the jockey's room there. He heave as sigh of

relief and punches the air. There is a fair bit of pressure that

comes from riding a well backed favourite and Frankie knows about

that pressure. Richard Hills there as well congratulating him. A lot

of appreciation. A kiss there for Hayley Turner. He is a popular guy,

Jamie and people understand it hasn't always been straightforward

and easy for him. One of the headlines at Royal Ascot has been

about the whip and Kevin Darley is from the professional jockeys

association. We have had five bans already and there are bound to be

more. Most high-profile was Frankie yesterday, but it is another high-

profile occasion and after the bans in the Grand National, it is a

worry, Jamie? It is a concern. Clare, that's the reason why we are

conductsing the review. It is important that people understand

this review didn't commence after the Grand National. Conversations

about been taking place and discussions had taken place in

consideration had commenced as far back as November last year. It was

something that was in our mind all that time ago. Is the whip properly

placed in racing for the best racing? You know, we have to

acknowledge the Grand National did bring it on to the front page. With

that the BHA took the step of making the public statement that we

would be conducting a review which we are doing.

Kevin, you will be there as the voice of the jockeys. How many

jockeys find it difficult to work within the guidelines and how many

are happy with them? Before I answer that Clare, for the viewers

watching today, although we don't condone what Frankie did yesterday

in respect to the amount of times he hit the horse, I can assure them

that had that horse been feeling pain, he would have stopped. He

wouldn't have gone forward. But going back to your question,

obviously the jockeys are aware that it is all about public

perception and we are pleased that we are going to be a part of this

review and hopefully by collating the information from the different

constituents within the industry we will be able to find rules that

will be, you know, compliant to the jockeys and will be acceptable to

the public and people watching racing from the outside.

It is worth stressing that we are talk being air cushioned whips.

There is a serious penalties if abuse is caused or is happening in

racing. Jenni that's not the case, but -- Jenni that's not the case,

but there are a lot of offences? need to look at what rules will

cause behavioural change in the jockeys and to everyone's credit

that we have spoken to so far including the jockeys, everyone

acknowledges the issues and everyone is up to addressing them

and that's encouraging. Where we end up, time will tell. We have

many more people to speak to, but you make a very, very important

point. The whip design is very, very scientific. It is about not

hurting the horse. We are looking at that. It is part of the review.

Additionally we are looking at the penalty structure and we are

looking at the education of riders because that's where the change can

start in the educational process so it is a far reaching review and to

this state, we have been encouraged. The guidelines as they stand at the

moment, 13 times is the maximum that you can hit a horse in the

for jockeys in in the heat of the moment to be counting and certainly

counting that much. There seems to be an argument for bringing it down

to make sure that people know where they are. It is easy to count to

five than 13? Looking at those numbers, the jockeys will tell you,

can we condone those numbers? It is about feel when you are on the

horse. Is the horse responding to the whip? We have got to take into

consideration what jockeys feel. They are the horsemen, they know

what the horse needs to keep it going and to keep its momentum and

we have got to give them credit where it is due, but they

appreciate that there is a problem out there and it is a public

perception that we have got to address.

Jamie, there are two extremes and you have got, use it as much as we

can. At the other end you have got take the whip away. Is there a a

possibility of whip use being banned? Everything is on the table,

Clare. Nothing is being ruled out. We have gone to both end of the

spectrums and there is middle ground, where we end up, I am not

sure. You mention there has been five ings dents of the rule breach

so far this week at Royal Ascot, but what is clear is there is no

evidence of any horse suffering as a result of those. There is no

scientific evidence. There is no veterinary evidence. They have

simply been frequency issues. And we will keep you updated with

anymore feedback we get from today's races.

We have been canvassing opinion to and this is what the racegoers had

needed, so it cannot be banned all together. It is a very difficult

job to solve this one. It's part of the sport. We need to make sure it

is maintained and looked after. The horses' welfare. We don't want a

horse to be beaten, effectively, do we. If it was banned it would be an

annoyance. The do-goers get their five minutes

in the press. I suppose it's not great on the horses. It causes them

a little bit of discomfort when they're running around. I don't

know whether it would make a difference whether I bet on them.

I'm not sure. Around the world is different. In Hong Kong there's no

restrictions, unless they are silly at the start of a race. In

Australia they have changed the rules because of public perception.

A necessary evil. I don't think Frankie Dettori would have won

without the whip, so there we are. I don't think anyone who watched

Frankie Dettori would have been alarmed. I thought he rode a

perfect race. It's an issue which has to be addressed. I am confident

the BHA have the right man in Jamie Steer supervising that look at it.

I think they will come one the right answers. We will address that

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds

later in the year. Let's look at betting ring you can see the prices,

6-1 for Chain Lightning. This is another gamble going on.

10-1 those. What is the fall out from the last race? I have come

here for 42 years. It's the biggest gamble I have ever seen. We had

50,000 to 20 on the offices. On the track 30,000 to 20. He was backed

to the exclusion of his rivals. Each way money. Small for the

others. They just wanted to be on one. Over to you? I am with David.

We came to you before the race. What sort of result was that for

you? A bad result. Can you get out of trouble on the

week after that? It's only half- time. And here we've got Geoff

Banks. How was that one? Leave me alone! Please!

How was that one? I am looking for a new line of work. Anna is still

smiling. That's Geoff Banks there. He suffered most.

Great stuff down in the betting ring. Chain Lightning here -

Richard Hughes taking this horse down to the start. He's the leading

jockey of the week. Three wins for him so far and a big chance in this.

I will bring you up-to-date with the stewards' looking into use of

the -- with the stewards looking at It is such a difficult race the

Britannia to predict. A lot is draw-dependant. You need a horse in

form and this one is. It certainly is. This horse is being backed more

than any other horse in this race. It's a tough race to find a winner.

The first horse we saw, Richard Hughes's horse, I know Hughes likes

him. We have Sagramor. Has not finished the first two in his first

two this year. 23 could be a very decent draw. Poor Steve. He hasn't

been able to get back in time, has he? I think he deserves a big pat

on the back. He could have said he is better than he is. Explain what

has gone wrong? He has damaged his shoulder. He said he could not get

it right in time and it was not fair to take a ride. There's

Tropical Beat down at the start. He has the blinkers on. He has drawn

at 31. Is that a good thing today? It was yesterday.

It would have been yesterday. We'll have to wait and see. The real

expert is with us though. Oh, thank you very much. It is true. He's by

the stallion Beat Hollow who is doing very well this year. He has

the blinkers on for the first time. You would have to say that they are

expecting him to run a big race and of course they are put the blinkers

on. Hopefully it will make him run nice and straight. He is drawn 31,

which would be possibly right down the stands rail. A very, very good

draw. Primprim, who won an -- was 16-1 this morning. He's now six.

So, they have moved forward, the last few. Going forward into stall

number 30, Tony Culhane. He last rode a Royal Ascot winner 23 years

ago. He's on Belgian Bill here. They are racing. Away to a good

start. Crown Counsel was up there too in the early stages. Many

crossing over to that far side. Certainly those that were a little

bit this side. On settling down on the stands rail here and as we

settle fully Kuala Limper is showing out there, so too is

Baptist. There's a lot of indecision here. Out in the centre,

the far group there, led by Norse In company there with The Tichborne.

Chilworth Lad behind them as well. Belgian Bill has a very, very good

place from Sagramor as well. Rigolleto showing the way there,

from Norse Blues. Up there as well is Ashva. On the near side The

Tichborne kicks for home, goes two lengths clear now. Crown Counsel

giving chase. Followed by Tiel Tiel -- Chilworth Lad. It's The

Tichborne in front. Sagramor giving chase now. They are followed by

Trade Storm. Coming up the centre in company with Ashva. Chain

Lightning. They are stretched across the track and starting to

run home is Cai Shen. Anybody who has run this, here's Belgian Bill

getting up on the fence. It's The Tichborne and Sagramor. Sagramor

wins the money from Cai Shen, tight third between Belgian Bill and The

Tichborne. Just behind them is traintrain, followed back -- is the

Train -- Trade Storm. Sagramor, number 11. Trained by

Hughie Morrison. This colt has won 8-1. Sagramor.

Second is number one, Cai Shen, riden by Ryan Moore. It is very

close for third, Belgian Bill is there and The Tichborne. Here they

are, Sagramor has won it. Cai Shen, just getting second. Look

at that for third. Let's slow it down.

Oh, that's very, very tight. Nearside is Belgian Bill. In the

centre The Tichborne, then followed Trade Storm, who ran on well.

Cruiser was next. Followed then by Bahceli. Stands rail Tropical Beat.

Ashva behind them. Then Tinkertown, the grey at the top. Followed by

Madawi, then Vanguard Dream. Also Bridgetown. In company there with

Polar Kite, crossing the line. Also there is Capaill Liath. Near side

Crown Counsel, who was very prominent early. Catalyze next.

Never got into it. They were followed then by Capaill Liath.

Another seven to come. Here's Honey Of A Kitten, Baptist showed pace.

Kuala Limper showed pace. Rigolleto led them on the far side at one

stage. Still a couple more, Norse Blues, who was prominent and still

one more, I think there's one more to come as they cross the line, a

long, long way behind them. There's the winner, number 11. Won the

Britannia Stakes, 2011. A great triumph of. He does not get that

many chances. Look how far Cai Shen came from, how far back he came

from. The jockeys were undecided in the early stages. They were all

over the place. It was like a loney tunes cartoon as they -- a loany

tunes cartoon as they decided where to go. I think he deserves a huge

pat on the back for standing himself down. As Sagramor lungs for

the line, still making waves is Cai Shen. Ryan Moore on board. Throwing

everything at the top weight. It is Sagramor who has the answers, also

Britannia. It is a gruelling straight mile here. You are running

the choke out all the way. It is tough on these horses, especially

with the ground having a soaking with the rain. You can see Tony

Culhane. And Nicky Mackay looking astounded. You can see everybody

getting involved here. The owners of this horse and a bit like Jim

Bolger, like earlier, the coolest of the lot. He's had success every

where. Given resources, he gets the job down. His dad of course, Alan

Mackay, a good good jockey. Belgian Bill was in fourth position.

The bookies must have been cheering when The Tichborne took off. What

frustration for Ryan Moore. He's had one winner this week. Four

seconds and Cai Shen was another one. You could see how fast he was

finishing. He's come from a fair way back. He's come with a big

rattle. Ryan Moore, having to be content with second again. The

distances were half a length and a head. The time 1.44.55. That was

8.5 seconds or around about 8.5 seconds outside the record.

Nicky, a very happy man. He is greated by -- greeted by

Connections. I am sure he'll have a picnic looking at the early stages.

A few of them decided to go over to the far side. Then a few that you

thought would be over the far side decided to come on to the stands

rail. And there's the reward for the winner.

Sagramor. Son of Pastoral Pursuit. They were trained by Hughie

Morrison and are trained. Here he is now. We always imagine when you

get one on a handicap there has been a plot for a long time. Is

that fair This one was a plot. The team, they've been planning this

since we brought Jazzwic. It is just a fantastic day, isn't it? I

thought we had our day at Haydock. He was gutsy, wasn't he? I didn't

read the race very well. I thought he was going to fold. He toughed it

out. He really did. Your thoughts on the closing stages as he was

challenged all around. I was watching the television rather than

the live. I miss read the race. I thought we were going to be third.

I looked and thought, oh, we're in front. He held on. Nicky, you first

winner since Admiral back in 2004. A special win for you? It is my

first Ascot win. I've had to wait eight years since that day. It is

great to get a Royal Ascot winner. I would like to thank Mr Morrison

and who ever's been riding the horse back at home and the staff

back at Mr Morrisons. The rider at home has done a great job. Sue, our

head girl. He's taken a bit of effort, this horse. He had a couple

of crisiss in the spring. Such as? He galloped up a hill lose.

Normally they hurt themselves when they do that. He thought it was

good fun. Very athletic. You look, there's a lot of emotion on your

face? A lot of people who know me would know how much it means to me.

A couple of years ago I was really struggling. I went to Mr Gosden.

Since then it has gone up from there. I would like to thank Mr

Gosden. Jim Boyle. There are other trainers who have stuck by me.

Those two come to mind. I would like to say thank you to both of

them. We'll let you go. We'll try and grab a word with some of the

owners. If it is possible for some of the

owners of this horse to introduce themselves to us on the BBC here.

The celebration has been fantastic. Tell us about the ownership and

where does it come from? The tie, obviously fantastic. It originated

from about six friends forming a syndicate to buy a horse called

Jazzmic, back in the late 90s. She's the mother of this horse and

another horse we've got. A couple of other people have come into the

syndicate. Past Pursuits, who was the sire.

The mother produced Sagramor. It has been a fantastic dream. We are

six owners, plus Isabel. We have hit dream land. This is my 50th

birthday this week. I am over the world. It is brilliant. The

moment the horse crosses the line, at Royal Ascot, is it,vy to pinch

myself to make sure it is real? We've had defeat. We had the first

never got to the racecourse T second fool died. The third is in

the -- the second Foal died, the third is in the stables. He has

gone and won the Britannia. should have seen our celebrations!

We did! We did! It was amazing. Yeah. Very good.

Well done to all of you. I hope this success story continues. Thank

you. So Sagramor wins the Britannia

Ryan Moore cannot get a winner, can he? He's had plenty of seconds.

Richard Hughes still favourite to be champion jockey.

He's not the only one who's had a lot of seconds!

I am so worried about this. He'll press this screen in a moment.

Let's see where they came from. This is the low numbers over the

far side. They didn't figure in because they all came down the

centre or towards the near side. If we look at a couple in the closing

stages, the runner up Cai Shen. Mainly, there he is there. And also

there, the light blue. He finishes fast. He makes his own trouble.

has finished with real purpose. He just got a little bit too far

behind. And possibly didn't get the run up the race as he would like,

or he couldn't go as fast to go take the gaps. Basically, the whole

race, there was very, very few unlucky horses in the whole race.

All these runners and they all had a good shot at getting a clear run.

Cai Shen, you can see in red and green. On the extreme left now.

he finished with the good rattle. He basically came straight down the

middle the whole way, which was very interesting. And of course the

winner, who has just drifted a bit towards the stand-side, his jockey

was highly delighted to have won that race. He was. We've got to

mention the good run from The Tichborne. It's hard to make the

running here. Very good run. It was always in the van and fought and

fought and just got piped in the last quarter of a furlong. There's

the time. 5.5 seconds slower than the average time. The trophy

presentation was made by Rachel Johnson, the editor of The Lady

magazine. You can see the delighted owners of Sagramor. Nicky Mackay in

the middle saying what a struggle it has been for him since his only

previous Royal Ascot winner back in 2004. They are having a shout and a

Holla. I thought he was emotional in his interview as well. It meant

so much to him. When you have been in the dull drums, like he says he

has, it means so much more. He has experienced that before and you are

desperate to get that winning feeling again. Good for them! The

kids will have to divide that mug between them. When we saw Jamie

Spencer going into the weighing room getting congratulations, I

thought it was Hayley Turner giving him a kiss and it was not. It was

Tom Queally. They are good friends. We are celebrating the tercentenary.

In terms of tennis, that is held at Wimbledon. On Sunday night you will

be able to see this documentary. There's nothing like it when you

look at it, whether you're there in person, the smell of it, or when

you're watching on TV. It's the one that everyone knows.

Even people who don't know tennis, they've heard of tennis. It's the

biggest torn nment the world. you are a Wimbledon champion, you

are remembered for life. I have always felt there was

something special. It was a place I wanted to be a part of. Compete in

and one day hopefully win. We speak to the majority of the

players and say if there was one tournament you would win, which

would it be? It would be Wimbledon. Sunday night at 8pm on BBC Two. 125

years of Wimbledon - you cannot be serious. We hope it does not rain

there. The rain has stopped here at Ascot. One more post script to the

Gold Cup. Jamie Spencer has picked up a suspension for hitting the

horse down the neck and another day for interfering with Kieran Fallon.

It is all happening, isn't it? the ground is softer, horses roll

around. He tried to correct it. He has paid the boupblty now. Let's

head -- the bounti now. Let's -- bounty now. Let's head over now to

you. There have been a few winners. Unlike me. I have lost everything I

have betted on. Here is a safe bet for you. Catherine Elizabeth has

completed the hat. You are wearing it here. It looks fantastic.

Congratulations! Thank you. It is really great for this season. You

have the orange and the yellows, which is good with the pheasant

feathers. We have tide on some elastic, used to fix to the head.

It is an eye-drop creation to show often Ascot and the anniversary.

It's really fun to do. That is fantastic. It is difficult to whip

up a hat in that time. She did an extraordinary job. We put the

pressure on you. Well done. You did it. You did. We have seen some

fantastic fashion. Let's see some of the scenes from Royal Ascot

make a hat? That one a couple of days. Everything was prepared.

Yeah, sure. This is what we are drawn to. What was your inspiration

here? She wanted the wow factor. There you are!

Really having fun here on lady's day. Thank you. Thank you to our

fashion team. Our next race is the Tercentenary Stakes. Named in

honour of the fact this is the 300th year of racing at Ascot. We

are taking the opportunity to spin back through time and relive some

extraordinary things. We are going back to 1988. One of the most

extraordinary and dare I say stunning incidents took place at

correct -- nothing ever came to light. It was like a loud firework

going off in its ear. It was unproven but a great story. The top

race, the Ascot Gold Cup ended dramatically after the horse which

passed the winning post first was disqualified. The clash sent Clarke

tumbling to the ground. Royal Gate is going to win the Gold Cup in

tremendous striel. We have real drama here at Ascot -- style.

Gate was disqualified, placed last and the race was awarded to the

second horse, Sadine. controversial verdict. Make no

mistake. Willie, you were riding here that

day. Extraordinary to have two such unusual incidents on the one day?

Yes, it was. The stun gun thing! At first, we all went "really?!" and

of course, I think it was just that he saw something and ducked I did

actually ride him, finished second in the champions stakes on him.

was a tricky horse, wasn't he? was. You think he jinked of his own

accord? I do. It wasn't his first race or anything, but he was a bit

tricky at the time. Extraordinary to be in two races in which the

horses that looked like winning didn't for two different reasons?

The Royal Gate affair, I do remember I think in that the

stewards came to the wrong decision. The rules were changed then so that

in those instances, if the horse is a clear winner, the horse keeps the

race? My view is that it was pure robbery, but that was how it was.

The jockey and the horse were locked together, nowadays they can

be taken separate. You can ban the jockey now and not interfere with

the horse's position. In those days, they were together and if you made

an infringement at any stage in race. That was it, you were out.

You could be thrown right out. The bell's going! The bell's going,

can you hear the bell?! Which means the jockeys are going out - a

lovely evening now -- the Tercentenary Stakes are next.

It's lovely at the moment, the sun It's lovely at the moment, the sun

is shiening a lovely scene in the similar head to High C haparal.

He's taken to it so far. Just behind him is Pisco Sour who ran in

the Derby. How does he look, having taken in a tough race there?

looks amazing, he really does. The trainer's done rather well. I just

think that this horse, for me, for a horse who had such a tough race

in what was the hardest race for three-year-olds, he looks well.

Michael Stoute has a runner who is well fancied, won three of four

starts, Tazahum. Only narrowly got up to win at Sandown last time, but

looked as though the trip would be in his favour today? Like this

horse and Michael Stoute's been quiet this week, not many runners.

For that reason, anything he does run, you've got to have a look at

it. One won here last night in the last race, very unlucky fourth.

Ryan Moore is on the next one. He's clearly a horse of potential, this

one, how does he look to you, Mick? Really well. I think when you see a

horse like this, he won a maiden on soft ground at the Curragh, very

impressively. Such an abundance of talent in that yard alBallydoyle.

Why do they need to run a horse like this unless they think he's so

good. Frankie Dettori rides number five, Hunter's Light. He was a

surprise winner at a race in Newmarket. If you watch the race,

it was almost as though they didn't believe he could win the way he was

ridden. He got up that day and looks these he's capable of more

with a great pedigree. We've already seen this week at Royal

Ascot, the Godolphin colours, they've been carryed to victory

already, in the frame a few times and they're on a bit of a roll.

What about Richard Hannon's team? Jamie Spencer's teaming up can

Alburns. Won a big sales race at the start of the year, he was

gelded because he was a little naughty last year, they thought

that would calm him down. Seemed to work for his first few starts but

he was then a little disappointing? Yes, and you just wonder has the

novelty of the operation worn off. I think it's a very tough race and

I think it's normally won by a progressive type and we've seen a

few of these here. Finally, I think it's always worth mentioning Henry

Cecil's horse in this race, Midsummer Sun. Only had two runs,

his last win was easy and straightforward a win in a maiden.

Another horse who has a tremendous pedigree? We don't know how good he

is, that's the beauty of this race, there could be a real star

unearthed here this afternoon. Which is the star for you?

Marksmanship is the one that takes the eye as they walk around here.

The next race coming up, as the Tercentenary Stakes, a mile and a

quarter. Some interesting types here, including the one the lads

were talking about, Tazahum. I really do think that will go very

close here. Let's have a look at the runners and riders as they come

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds

taking. A mile and a quarter. The same as yesterday's Prince of Wales

Tercentenary Stakes, our 5 o'clock today. This Tercentenary Stakes is

big price on Happy Today. Plenty of punters happy with the results. 33-

1 into 18-1. We are Happy Today as well, aren't we? Absolutely! Here

is Marksmanship make his way out on to the track, the big gamble of the

day, I suppose, because Connections also had Fame And Glory, the winner

of the Gold Cup which appeared to be an equally big gamble. We know

that he comes from a powerful stable, they've decided to drop him

in at the deep end on his second appearance and the owners like him.

Also the fact he won a mile and a quarter maiden in heavy ground at

the Curragh on his only start. This race is on softish ground and it's

only a mofr and a quarter, so two positives for him as well -- only a

mile and a quarter. Number Ten, Midsummer Sun, trained by Henry

Cescle. He's had a couple of running in his career -- Henry

Cecil. It was a straightforward win for him at Haydock. He's open to

bundles of improvement, isn't he, Mick? It is. Like we said in the

parade ring, a lot of the horses have untapped opiniontial and we

don't really know how good some of them can be.

This is the other one I think is interesting, Slumber, number 14.

Won at Epsom, third in the Chester Vase. Barry Hills likes to have a

run in the Derby to test them out. He was thinking at some stage this

was capable of running in a Derby. He's dropped in from a mile and a

half to a mile and a quarter. The good stable thinks a lot of the

horse. The other thing about this horse is that physically he seems

to be bigger and stronger and more developed than quite a few in this

race who're still likely raced. OK he's only had three runs but he's a

big, strong three-year-old. Certainly is. You would like to

know is there significance in the cap. I'm sure Prince Abdullah won't

mind which cap it wears, as long as it wins. This is Laajooj, Mickael

Barzalona. Had a couple of wins from his three starts so far this

year. Another one which is improving, although I thought a

couple of the others might have a bit more improvement in them than

he does? I would agree with that. He looks more exposed, from what

we've seen so far. A very keen running sort as well isn't he, this

fella? Looked like he was doing too much way early on in the previous

race. Your favourite is favourite. �20,000. Bangers and

mash cash, John! Happy Today was well behind Frankel

in the 2000 Guineas, ran previously in the Stakes in Newmarket and

showed good form that day. He did, and you just have to say, he's been

unlucky so far this week, the owner, he'll be hoping this horse can put

up a good display. Also unlucky, it's 13, downhill and not a very

long run to the first turn here and races with a number of runners on

this track tend to be very rough in the early part. They do, as well

you have got the worse ground as well where you start off. The boys

said this is where the ground is at up at the 100-30 favourite. He's in

the centre going in. The one big problem, I suppose, that Ryan Moore

might have, as he looked free on the post, he'll need him to settle

early on. Only a few more to go. Back to Jim.

Last couple going in. Here Frankie. Only got four on his outside. A

mile and a quarter, set to go. Racing. Even despatched to Slim

Shadey on the inside, one of the first away, Slumber in the early

stages away. Going fast is Happy Today. Moriarty driving through on

the inside. Frankie Dettori right there in the centre on Hunter's

Light as they charge to Swindley Bottom. Very deep is Happy Today

who just shows the way. Hunter's Light just slipping in behind him.

In second is Moriarty and third is Hunter's Light, followed by Maali

as they race into Swindley Bottom. Tazahum can't get on the track at

all. The striped cap. In behind them is Slumber positioned on the

inside. Pisco Sour. Midsummer Sun. They start to climb uphill from

Swindley Bottom. Further back in the field at this stage, back on

the inside of runners is Loving Spirit giving them a fair start.

The leader here on the inside is still Happy Today. Deeper on the

track in the Royal blue of Godolphin is Hunter's Light. On the

inside, Moriarty in the centre. Next with the striped cap, Maali,

followed by Tazahum. Slumber is behind them. Pisco Sour. Midsummer

Sun and Slim Shadey. Alkimos is very wide, starting to run as they

come up towards the entrance to the home straight.

Well back in the field too with the white cap, Laajooj, giving them a

long start. Auld Burns is out back. On the turn for home now, Happy

Today on the inside, Hunter's Light in second, Moriarty starting to

slip back. Coming into it now, Tazahum, wide throughout. Further

back in the field, Pisco Sour, running on particularly well, as

they race up inside the two. Heading for home now, Frankie

Dettori on Hunter's Light. Grabbed immediately by Pisco Sour. Here is

Alkimos down the outside with a run and they've kicked away from

Tazahum and Laajooj from a long way back. Racing up just inside the

final furlong, Pisco Sour. Alkimos the danger. They're clear of the

pack. Pisco Sour is in front. A double for Hughy Morrison as Pisco

Sour wins the money. Alkimos is second. Third Slumber, followed by

Specific Gravity and Marksmanship who came from nowhere. Back in the

field, Tazahum, followed by Specific Gravity who's well backed

with Auld Burns. Pisco Sour is the winner of the Tercentenary Stakes

at 20-1. Jimmy Fortune in the saddle, a

double for Hughy Morrison, as Pisco Sour gets the money.

And he gets there by a couple of lengths. Alkimos in second. Then in

third, Slumber. Specific Gravity, Tazahum, Laajooj, Marksmanship,

light laigt light was next. Ahlaain behind them -- Hunter's Light. Auld

Burns. Moriarty was there for a long way, Maali, Midsummer Sun.

Then a gap to Loving Spirit. Still a couple more to come.

There's Happy Today. Very wide and used up a lot of gas early and Slim

Shadey last. Pisco Sour, who ran so well in the dandy Stakes and also

ran in the Derby and deserved that background, the sun's still shining

on Pisco Sour. He's the first horse from the Derby

to have run again, finished ninth earlier, for Jimmy Fortune, leading

jockey here in 2007 with five winners, it's been lean for him

since then, one in 2008, one in 2009, none last year, here he is

back on the winners' board, Kieren Fallon on the second horse, Alkimos.

Slumber couldn't get out when he wanted to. He'd never have gotten

to the front two, would have been interesting had he got there. Pisco

Sour wins the Tercentenary Stakes. He finished a nice third at York

and he went into the Derby with high hopes, but things went

drastically wrong that day, but today things have gone absolutely

famously. I've forgotten his name... Keiron or Jimmy? Jimmy Fortune.

He's a guy who's one of the strongest in the weighing room, he

rides really well, it's nice to see that Jimmy's got himself a real

Royal Ascot winner. And a golden day for Hughy Morrison,

who's with Rishi now? The second winner a row here. A

magical moment? Unbelievable, yes. We thought heerd run well, but the

way Pisco Sour put this horse to bed on the gallops on Saturday, we

thought he'd done well. You can forget about the Derby, he was too

fresh, I didn't do enough with him probably after the Ebor, he was

jarred up and we had to look after him. He came out of the Derby

fantastic and you must congratulate Epsom for the wonderful ground he

had that day because he came out better than when we went in.

Terrific Royal Ascot relationship with Jimmy Fortune? First Ascot

winners and that's our third Ascot winner we've had with him. You have

always believed in this horse. In the build-up to the Derby, even

though you are admitting trainer error, you were saying you thought

he could win a big race? I knew if we could settle him, he'd have a

serious chance and Jimmy gave it a good job. 33-1 for the Ladbrokes St

Leger, is that a potential target for him? I thought it was until he

ran too free at Epsom, but he'll be looking at that now. Well done

today. Thank you. This is a landmark for Jimmy Fortune because

he's one of the best around. There's no doubt about that. He's

ridden 13 winners for the season. It's been a couple of years, as

Claire said, since he's been in the winners' enclosure. There's the

winning owner, a proud man after the Tercentenary Stakes. When

you're hot, you're hot and Hughie Morrison wins with Pisco Sour.

the last race, the big gamble of the morning as well, Apache, was

7.5-1 this morning. Can Apache come out the shadows, John? Well, in

fashion today, we've had a real treat. Not sure that any one

particular style has emerged, but we've seen lots of different

classic styles, a lot of fun and, in terms of milinary, how do you

feel about today? I've been spoilt and the ladies really excelled,

they really went to town and expressed themselves. That's what

the whole of this celebration is about. It is. About enjoying

yourself, having fun, not being overly serious. Let's have a look

at an image, this lady, beautiful, like a Hollywood movie star.

There's a hint towards the '40s, effortless, graceful, the detailing

of the gloves and that beautiful cinched in waist, she makes this

look effortless and that's the secret of pulling off that look.

Let's hope for more of that tomorrow. Tomorrow, we are on air

again at 1.45, five races for you on BBC One and BBC Two and the

final race again on the red button, which is where we are going shortly

for the coverage of the King George V Stakes. Tomorrow, the feature

will be the Coronation straick Stakes and we have an American

runner. We haven't had a big international winner. She'll be

taken -- taking on lots of others. Should be a good day. King Edward

VII Stakes as well, known as the Ascot Derby. Jimmy Fortune is

getting congratulations from the other jockeys at the moment. We'll

talk to him on the red button, as well as reviewing Gold Cup day. The

guys in the betting ring talked about Apache. Joseph O'Brien riding
