Day 2, Part 1 Racing: Royal Ascot

Ascot bedecked this year in red, white and blue in honour of the

Diamond Jubilee and we could all be singing to the rafters today if

Carlton House is successful in the Prince of Wales Stakes. Our feature

race and it's a Group 1. It could give the Queen her first Group 1

winner since 1947. It would be And the second day of Royal Ascot

is bathed in glorious sunshine, thousands enjoying picnics on the

front lawn in front of that magnificent Grandstand and

gradually the crowds will get deeper and bigger, especially here

around the paddock, because this is where the Royal Procession will

finish after its come down the racecourse.Ed crowd yesterday was

46,100, that's 6% more than last year. Ascot thrilled with the

appeal of this meeting. And with the general feel of it, very

relaxed as well, over on the Ascot Heathside. You can get there as

early as you like and that's a smart picnic and everybody enjoying

themselves. Inside the building, which it may well be needed

tomorrow when the rain is due to arrive, you can see this vast space,

and the Union Jack Flags everywhere, decorating the course and in

keeping with the Diamond Jubilee. This really is an extraordinary

meeting and it's been kicked off in sensational style by Frankel's win

yesterday. Everybody still talking about it, trying to assess it

saying is it the best thing we have ever seen? Certainly at the Royal

meeting nobody can remember a horse being that dominant in a Group 1

race, better even than Dubai Millennium and he was special. This

meeting continues to grow in appeal around the world and it really is a

magnetic force for professionals, party-goers and punters alike.

This is Ascot, it is a glorious setting, the most impressive

grandstand in in Europe. It's where everybody wants to be. A great

spectacle. The whole experience is amazing. Royal Ascot is the

Olympics of horse racing. Everybody wants to be here. I don't think

there is any other meeting so important. It's where they come

from Australia, America and it's the epitome of horse racing. It's

racing in a pure form. It would mean everything to win a Group 1 on

home soil at Ascot. There is nothing matches anywhere in the

world, incredible. It's one of the best tracks in the world. We have

the most marvellous's day's racing you will ever see in your whole

life. And these are the guys who have the

pressure on their shoulders, Frankie Dettori and Gerard Mosse

kissing in European style. They'll be up against each other in the

Prince of Wales. Joseph O'Brien will be hoping emdock home on front,

-- will be hoping he can come home in front.

Michael Barzalona, the 19-year-old who won the Derby last year, he is

20 now. He has good chances does, as does Ryan Moore.

Tom Queally, well he's done his work. He can look at the Racing

Post and say yeah, I was on bored that horse and he was incredible.

He has some engine, Frankel and something of a Formula One theme to

some of our guests. Jackie Stewart is here, three-times world champion

and also the BBC's Eddie Jordan has arrived and I am sure both will be

supporting general son put whopb makes the presentation -- Jenson

Button who makes the presentation for the first race. Peter Jones, we

will be talking to him later, a keen businessman, obviously, that's

why he is on Dragons' Den and Aidan O'Brien on top of his business,

training Group 1 winners and his first of the week could come today.

There with the chief executive. My partner in crime, as always is

Willie Carson. Partner in crime? teammate, my pal. You have been

walking the course. I have been on the course, yes, doing a little bit

of filming for us later. Well, tomorrow, in fact. Is it warm out

there? My back is very, very hot at the moment. I can feel a little

drips coming down the side of my face here. How lovely! Would you

like me to get a cold flannel on the back of your neck? That would

be lovely. I will sort that out. The Prince of Wales Stakes has

really interesting elements to it, this big Australian horse So You

Think. Superstar. Based here for more than a year. Yes, 18 months

ago he came over to Ireland and he came with a reputation nearly as

big as Black Caviar. Of course, he won quite a few races. He's been

travelled around the world. He's been to Meydan, the Breeders Cup,

unfortunately he got beat there and was second at Meydan but he is a

very, very good horse. Of course, we have Her Majesty's horse, we are

all hoping she can have a Royal winner, but the Irish colt is going

to be some big sort of statue to knock over. He is a huge horse.

Physically imposing. He is, yes. He is a very big horse. We have seen

him here before in England. He's left us all with a very good

impression. I would think that he is going to win it again. Carlton

House, if he does win today he's going to put up the best

performance of his whole career. Could be done. This is the place to

produce your best. We will be on air with you on BBC1 and BBC2 until

5.15pm and whenever anybody feels like stopping talking on BBC

interactive. This is what we have Racing fans are still abuzz about

Frankel's tkepl hraeugs job -- demolition job in the kwaoepb Anne

-- Queen Anne yesterday. Is he the best we have ever seen? We continue

our trips behind the scenes by going to Newmarket to the yard of

Marco Botti looking for a Royal Ascot winner, it could be Planteur.

A huge amount of work goes into getting a horse to the races. We

will spend a day in the life of a travelling head lad.

And what about the fastest filly on the planet. We look ahead to Black

Caviar's challenge in the Diamond Jubilee on Saturday. Us a are

hoping. -- Australia are hoping. Royal Ascot has substance aplenty

with the quality of the racing, but it also has style. We will be

bringing you the very best in the fashion stakes.

These are our live races today on The big race of the day, it's the

150th anniversary of it, the Prince of Wales Stakes over a mile and a

quarter. That features the the Queen's

Carlton House, Planteur and the We switch to interactive for the

final race of the day. I will mention one jockey who could

have a sensational day, and that's Johnnie Murtagh, he has three good

chances of winners. Going through Only one of those is because of the

ground, it's drying up out there with this beating down sunshine.

Rishi is on the course. The weather is set to change tomorrow, we fear.

Yes, just before I talk about the ground, a word about the weather.

Glorious today but the weather forecast for the next 24 hours not

so good. What we have forecast is rain, from 3.00am until 9.00am

tomorrow morning and heavy rain, perhaps up to 24 milimetres. Then

it goes dry, then the forecast for tomorrow afternoon, which is is

Gold Cup day, is sunshine and showers, not good news for people

coming to racing tomorrow but it's great today. It's also been dry for

the last 24 hours and the official going around the course now is good.

Normally the straight course, where one of the trickiest races is run,

normally it's quicker on this course than the round course but

the round course has caught up with the rest of the course and it's dry

all round. So good news, it's a level playing field for all the

runners. There are a few technical problems

yesterday with sectional times which meant we can't go into as

much detail as we wanted. A correction issued on the top speed

Frankel reached. He got up to 42.53mph. It was incorrectly stated

as 49. 42.5mph. Extraordinary. He keeps that up. He is an

extraordinary horse. He ran on the slowest ground yesterday because it

was spongy to begin with and as the day went on with the sun and a

little bit of wind the ground got quicker and his time was the

quickest time of the whole day and he ran on the slowest ground. He

was only half a second off beating the track record. Just shows what

an incredible horse he is. We will be back here on October 20th for

the culmination of the British champion series, Frankel bound to

be the outstanding horse of that. We could see something similarly

stunning then. We had Henry here and he wouldn't be pushed into

making any plans. He let everybody else talk about the horse but he

wasn't going to let on what is going to happen. We all think that

he will turn up for the Juddmonte Stakes, we all think that but it

hasn't been confirmed. And it won't be until we know exactly how it is,

we will see Henry today and find out how Frankel is the day after.

As for the race-goers here, they get here very early and get their

spots sorted and what would have thought the most popular picnic

spot in Europe would be a car park, but that's where we find Suzi Perry.

This is the hottest lunch ticket, not only at Royal Ascot but the UK

and the reason is that you can not buy a car parking space here. They

get handed down from generation to generation.

As you can see, they have the most spectacular picnics, really

beautiful. We are not talking sausage rolls, we are talking top-

class champagne and caviar. Brian, heading the table, what have hu for

lunch? Nice beef and a salad. With beetroot. I love beetroot. Tell me

how many years have you been coming here? Well, over 50. And how

special is it to have lunch here before you go off for racing?

it's very special. I mean, this is what number one car park is all

about. Lucky enough to have my space, my two sons now have spaces.

We are all very close together. Works very well. Perfect family

dining. The rest of the family are over the road. Young son appears to

be over there. I am here with the older son. We have the better wine

this side! Definitely the better wine this

side. Lovely. Have a wonderful day racing. I will be covering

everything around the racing. Can't wait to see Black Caviar, can you?

Absolutely. Good job we are here all week. Absolutely. Frankel

yesterday. How magical was that? Unbelievable. Brought a tear to the

eye. When he had raced he was like a fresh horse. Absolutely superb.

Total superstar. Hopefully more stars today. Absolutely. Thank you.

I am here in the betting jungle, joined by Mick Fitzgerald and the

band is playing. What did you make of yesterday, Frankel was

magnificent. Words probably can't describe the performance he put up.

I just feel privileged that I was here to see it. He was fantastic.

The reason we have you here today, people at home waiting for

selections and tips. I - in the first race, William Haggas, Johnnie

Murtagh, great team. Gone for Sentaril. Don't know how good this

could be. Second race, gone for Nahrain.

saw Pat Smullins this morning. I am a fan of the trainer. First time

out for the season but I am not worried. The The Prince of Wales

Stakes s that eachway bet for Mabait, ran well at Chester last

time. I watched it, it was eye- catching. Very good trainer. This

horse is rated higher than this in the past and for me he is a live

chance. Mironica in the Queen Mary. Great team. This horse won at Nase.

I am not not worried. Electrelane. I hate to say this,

but what happens if these get beat? Always dangerous to have such a

firm fancy. Join me to discuss the Royal Procession, which will be

coming through shortly is Dr Kate Williams. Is this your first time?

It is my first time. The last time I wore a hat was when I was in the

Brownies. It is so good to be here on such a great day. A marvellous

day for the Queen as well. important has it been for the

monarch to be seen by so many? Is the Royal Procession more than just

an events for us to enjoy? Does it have an historical context?

Royal Procession is so important, to know the monarch, to see her.

The Tudor monarchs would do it by river, on the Thames. Now

increasingly it is important to travel around the country. Queen

Victoria was vital. But the Ascot procession was begun by George IV.

He was our naughty King and he wanted lots of fun with his

mistresses and chums, not his wife, in the procession. The idea of

royal patronage and royal example was what he was saying. He was a

great fashion leader. George IV was also the first one to invent the

Royal Enclosure wasn't he? Yes, and his best Khumbu Brummel it was one

who instigated the royal dress code. He was a trendsetter, a style

leader, incredibly important in the creation of an aristocratic

fashionable society, which lives on today. And in this year of all

years the iconography of the monarchy and Queen Elizabeth II has

been all the more prominent during this summer and the Diamond Jubilee

celebrations. It is -- She speaks rarely. We have short speeches. The

first time she did a speech was in 1940, when she broadcast to the

children of America. She was talking of the hardships of war, so

we are not really used to hearing the Queen. That's one of the great

skill of the Queen is that she simply is so incredibly politically

neutral and subtle. She doesn't impose herself on our lives.

here the magnificent sight of the here the magnificent sight of the

Royal Procession, the Windsor greys leading and drawing the first

charge, which contains Her Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness the

Duke of Edinburgh, Lord Valentine Cecil, who is the fourth son of the

sixth Marquess of Salisbury. Served as a major in the British armed

forces, worked in NATO and the Ministry of Defence, and also Lord

Irwin, who appeared in the Royal Procession yesterday, with his wife,

Georgia, and today Lord Irwin is in the first carriage. The Queen is

looking marvellous. She is wearing a pink and silk wool-mix dress,

with a matching hat. She looks marvellous, like she could be a

strawberry ice cream. Lord Irwin is the one in the grey top hat and

Lord Valentine Cecil is closer to us in the black top hat. It is so

wonderful to see the Duke of Edinburgh. He's been out of action

since his bladder infection. So good to see him by her side.

They've been married 64 years. It is incredible to see him there, the

longest-serving consort, back in action to see the racing once more,

and perhaps to win today. second carriage we have Lady Ogilvy,

and air marshal Sir David Walker. The deputy chairman of the

Australian racing board. The stud stands a very good stallion in

Redout Choice. Australian guests at Windsor castling. The Queen is

ensuring that the message of the Diamond Jubilee is spread all

around the Commonwealth. If she can't go there she makes sure...

Sense somebody else? No, I think the Prince of Wales and the Duchess

of Cornwall are going to Australia later this year. She is our most

travelled monarch. In the third carriage is Lord Vestey. Opposite

him is Lady Vestey, and Mr and Mrs Tony Beddeson. He is very involved

with the Melbourne Children's Hospital. When the Queen last

visited Australia he took her around that hospital, and there's a

rather nice photograph of them in the meerkat enclosure. A gorgeous

day to be in the procession. A slight breeze, so not too warm.

Bright sunshine. The grandeur of the procession was about showing

off the monarchs. Nscly these days monarchs don't exist --

increasingly these days monarchs don't exist until you see them.

Simon Brookes-Ward put on the royal pageant and the Olympia horse show.

You can see the haze there. looks pretty hot. But you can never

show heat if you are the Queen. You are never hot or cold, unlike the

rest of us. You have always to survive. Do you think in the time

of George IV was the procession the same link as this - four carriages,

or more? It could be sometimes longer, as they were so much more

used to travelling by carriage than we were. George IV was grand, our

most pompous and excessive Queenment Queen Victoria after him

tried to remodel herself as more modest. It is a Royal Procession,

beginning first of all with Queen Anne, who began Ascot in 1711. The

first race is as a consequence of her being so close and close in

Windsor. I think it is particularly fitting today that the horse we are

all hoping for, Carlton House, was named after George IV's Palace,

which is our great lost Palace. George IV created it when he turned

21 and came into the large sum of about �5 million a year. That was

his yearly sum. But that wasn't enough. He needed more cash and he

created this wonderful house, Carlton House, on Pall Mall, full

of amazing objet d'art. Some ladies had their coats turn off their

backs in the passion to see the objet d'art. It was torn down in

1855. Hopefully Carlton House will keep some of its spirit. There's a

Carlton House not far from I assume on the same spot. It is one of the

Government residences. The Carlton House Terrace remains but the

amazing house that the Prince built, it was torn down, to focus on

Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace of course the scene of so

much of the celebrations, whether it was the procession and the

balcony appearances or indeed the concert and the special stage built

around the QVM, as we call it, the Queen Victoria Memorial.

incredible Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The last monarch who

ever had a Diamond Jubilee was Queen Victoria, and by her period

she was exhausted and lame. The last thing swhee be doing was going

to the races. Whereas our Queen is hail and hearty, travelling and

full of beans. What a boost today will be to her if her horse wins.

Pretty exciting. Racing has always been so vital to the Royal Family.

Edward IVV was a great racehorse owner. He was incredibly successful.

He had a marvellous horse called Diamond Jubilee, which was born in

1897. It was pretty successful. it won the Derby in 1900. It was

very bad-tempered. It used to kick the jockey and the odd member of

the public. When put out to stud it escaped and ran around the town, so

a naughty horse. King Edward VII's son, he was incredibly successful.

I mentioned earlier that the last Group 1 win ter Queen had was in 19

7. The Silver Jubilee. She's had 20 winners at Ascot in a royal meeting.

It is incredibly, how impressive it is that she is Queen and she's so

busy doing Queen things and at the same time is a very successful

racehorse owner. The Prince of Wales is not in the procession

today and is not making the presentation for the Prince Of

Wales Stakes Stakes, which he would normally do. Her Royal Highness the

Princess Royal will be doing that. And the Countess of Wes elects be

making a presentation today. Tomorrow the Queen will present in

the Gold Cup, the oldest race in the Royal Ascot, and on Saturday

the Diamond Jubilee, which was the golden Jubilee, the six-furlong

sprint, for which Black Caviar, the Australian super mare is odds-on

favourite. Who knows we might have another Jubilee in ten years time,

and we would would have to rename it to a platinum Jubilee.

Extraordinary. Has any monarch done that? Louis XIV, the French. Once

she's beaten Queen Victoria in 2015, September 2015, she will beat Queen

Victoria to be Britain's longest reigning monarch, then Louis XIV,

the European monarch. I think she the European monarch. I think she

can do it. What do you reckon? pausing because the national anthem

will shortly be heard. The national anthem from the band

of the Coldstream Guards. Around the racecourse and then removing

their hats and people singing as the qeeb and the Royal Procession

make -- Queen and the Royal Procession turn left and will re-

emerge on the paddock side. A full circle of the paddock and dismount.

By the Weighing Room, where people crowd around to try and get a good

view of the Royal Procession. A smaller crowd today. Not

surprisingly. I think Frankel attracted more racegoers yesterday.

A slightly lower key feel today but nonetheless enthusiastic and

excited about the racing ahead. Many people come just for this.

People get the impression of Royal Ascot as being a social occasion,

where everybody wants to be seen and see others, but the big draw is

the Royal Procession. I think you are close to the Queen. We really

see how it is something that she is so overjoyed to be at. She's such a

keen racer and always been eeger, ever since she was a little girl.

One of the her favourite wedding presents as a filly from the Agha

Khan. She is a great owner and a great fan of horses. I think we've

seen a lot of her this year in the Diamond Jubilee year. We probably

will start to see less of her as in years go on, so I think we should

grab our chances. Usual mentioning Queen Victoria's record 63 years.

She was a long-living monarch. She got there to 1901, but the longest-

raining monarch is from Swaziland. He was pretty good. I think the

Queen may not beat him. I may not be around to see it.

Huge applause here and the paddock. You can see how this was designed

to make sure that people could get the best view possible of the Royal

Procession. When they relaid the racecourse and built the new

Grandstand, they moved the paddock. Part of the major condition of that

was to have enough room for 30 horses for a maximum field, but

bank the steps and make it look lovely, so that when people do come

down for the Royal Procession, they, it is perfect for it. It is

probably the best-dine designed paddock anywhere. You are right. So

many times when we see the monarch, they are quite a long way away from

us. In the flotilla she was quite far away but here you could throw a

paper aeroplane if you wanted to, although she might not be too

pleased about that. The horses will have come through Windsor Great

Park and will make their way back to the mews after their circle of

the paddock here. A few of them are getting warm, because it is a warm

day, particularly here where you are out of the wind.

They are behaving themselves Some lovely shots there just as the

carriage turned off the racecourse and you can see the tkaple greys,

don't they look gorgeous? Fabulous. Like old-fashioned rocking rocking

horses. The Queen had so many when she was a little girl, loved

rocking horses and practising on them. She was such an eager rider.

The Queen and the Royal party will make their way up to the Royal Box.

Her Majesty's representative on the left, and took over this year from

the Duke of Devon hire and Charles -- Devon shire and Charles Barnet.

I suspect the Queen difficulting an accurate report. She comes down the

track and knows she well what's happening. She thinks about the

quality of the grass and she will be looking at it carefully today to

see how Carlton House might go, might win. I know there is that

added frisson of excitement and nerves. It's a big day for him.

Kate, thank you so much. Brilliant information and you will be with me

tomorrow and day after. If you have questions you would like Kate to

answer or indeed thing you think let's talk about that, we can cover

those and particularly if you are on Twitter, we will get hold of

those and put them to you later in the week. Thank you. Let's join our

analyst team now of Ian and Mick. Thank you, Clare. Good afternoon. A

horse that a lot of you are going to be cheering on is the Queen's

runner in the big race, Carlton House. Let's look at his most

recent run. Here he is, this was his first run since the beginning

of July when he had been running in the Irish Derby. He was very free

in the early part of this race. was, but Ryan Moore, he was intent

on getting the horse to relax, get him settle. First run of the season.

Many people here this day commented on how well the horse had done

physically and this was emphasised here by him quickening up and going

through this gap that appears. wait time for the gaps -- he had to

wait for the gaps to come through. That happens a little bit at

Sandown. They race tight together. You can see him quicken up smart

here. Sir Michael Stoute trains him, said after the race that he is a

much better horse over a mile and a quarter and that was evident here.

That's the thing about him, he has had a couple of runs in his career

over a mile and quarter. One was at York last year. He won that. Two

runs over a mile and a half at Epsom and the Curran. OK, he got

beat but good performances. That run at Sandown, back to ten

furlongs. At that trip so far he is unbeaten. But he's good horses to

beat today. Still has to step up. He has, step up marginally, because

So You Think sets a high standard. So You Think is going to be the one

to beat but that was Carlton House, the Queen's horse in his most

recent run. He is going to carry a lot of your hopes this afternoon.

He needs to improve as we mentioned already, but he has a chance and

that's the main thing. But we have been still in the aftershock of

Frankel. What an extraordinary performance yesterday. People are

still reacting to it. Well worth seeing it again and enjoying some

This is Ascot and the equine spotlight today falls on the

phenomenonal Frankel. He has won ten in a row, can he make it 11?

All the jockeys have come tout get a glimpse of -- have come out to

get a glimpse of this guy. He is a superstar.

# There goes my hero... Breeders all through their lives try to come

up with a perfect race horse and this is the best. He is outstanding.

# There goes my hero, watch him as he goes...

The highest rated horse in the world, will this be another big

win? They're set for the Queen Anne, Frankel in the pink cap, about

fourth position. Now Queally is giving him more rein

as he moves up with three furlongs left to travel. He gets an

This is a procession. It's now Frankel who is drawing away. What a

performance! The superb, the spectacular Frankel.

11 out of 11! It's Frankel who wins Just amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Anyone who is here today knows that they have seen something really

special. This is the best racehorse that you have ever seen, I have

ever seen, that anybody will ever Wonderful, really wonderful. I had

a tear in my eye. Untouchable. Never seen anything like that.

Amazing. Truly amazing. From behind it looks like a machine.

The action is so perfect. It was a joy to be in the race. Unbelievable.

Makes it a good reason for staying alive.

You will watch a lot of racing before you ever see anything like

that again. It was stunning. Just the way - the race was over three

and a half furlongs from home. and a half he just let him go, that

was it. You looked at all the other horses, no response to his - his

acceleration took him away and he kept going into the distance.

made good horses look really ordinary. More to come from him as

well as the season progresses and we found out after the race that he

had lost a shoe and we think a front shoe in the course of this.

It probably didn't - clearly it didn't make a lot of difference.

That was a mile race, Clare. We do think that he is going to stay a

mile and a quarter. Another two furlongs. He is going to go further

into the distance. The horse of a lifetime for Tom Queally and for

Henry Cecil, who's trained so many good ones over the years, he was

reluctant to say this is the best ever. But you could see - he adores

this horse and how much pleasure it's given him and how much it

helps put him right back at the top of the tree. All he did say was

isn't it good for racing? Of course, it is. It's good for him, it's good

for the owner, for Tom Queally, the jockey. It's good for the lads in

the yard. To everybody who is involved with this horse, we will

talk to their grandchildren and they will be talking about Frankel.

They'll be talking about Frankel for the next 100 years. Just like

we talk about Eclipse, we talk about him. He is the sort of grand

grand granddad, I believe 80% of thoroughbreds now. You raised

something there, one of the great races of the year is the Eclipse,

one day we might have the Frankel and he will be commemorated like

that. We will move on to today's action. The runners are in the

paddock just about to be mounted by their jockeys for the opening race,

it's the Jersey stakes sticks and Jim McGrath has the list and there

are plenty of them, Jim. There are indeed, Clare. In fact,

today there is 120 runners. You saw the tphoerplts field -- enormous

field yesterday and again that's the order of the day this afternoon.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds

In our first race we have four non- One of the rising stars of the

training ranks is Roger Varian. He has Aljamaaheer here. He was

impressive last time. Did that performance encourage you that the

Jersey Stakes would be the next logical step? I think so. We hoped

he would be a Jersey horse earlier in the year and he was beaten in a

handicap at Newbury on soft ground. I didn't think he handled the

ground that day and Paul agreed. We went to Newmarket off 88, official

rating out of our depth but on better ground he won nicely at

Newmarket and Paul gave - Jersey is logical next step. You are drawn in

stall 18. The ground is good up the home stretch. Do you think it's

possible they may clump together as one? Very possibly. I wasn't here

yesterday but watched the racing and it seemed to happen one race

one side, the other race the other side. The important thing apart

from the ground is the pace. You really need to be drawn around pace

horses to tow your side along early in the race. I hope there's enough

pace where we are, so we can get involved where it matters and not

too far behind. Do you think he is good tphouf win? -- enough to win?

I hope so. Thank you. Good luck. Thank you.

This could be Johnnie's day today, I mean Johnnie Murtagh, he has a

great chance of getting off to a winning start on Sentaril for

William Haggas. Three fillies in this race and they get a

lightweight -- slight weight allowance. The best of them is this

one, Sentaril. Her only two starts, she won at Newbury and then at

Doncaster and she's related to Enticing, and... You like her,

don't you? I do. She is a very nice filly. When she won last time she

didn't have a race, she would have done more at home in a gallop than

when she won. She is obviously a speedy filly and there's a lot more

to come from her. I had a good look at her in the paddock. Strong, not

very tall but very strong. Obviously, like her family,

obviously got a little bit of something against the stalls

because I see Gary there who is leading her around, and he is the

sort of doctor for difficult horses. Let's look at a few of the others.

It's a big field this. Joseph O'Brien on Reply, riding for

his father, Aidan. Joseph still favourite to be leading jockey for

the week. Ryan Moore is pressing him in that sense. Joseph hasn't

yet had a Royal Ascot winner, could have on this horse or later on So

You Think. This horse Reply was third behind Power in the Irish

2000 Guineas last time out. Yes, well, they sroupb many horses --

they run so many horses in these classic races and you expect Joseph

to be on the best one and of course Joseph was on the winner that day

and he by-passed this colt. This race, the Jersey Stakes is not a

Group 1, it's sort of down in the league a little bit. Interestingly,

Aidan won this Mozart in the Irish 2000 guineas. July Cup horse and

they obviously think that he is not going to be winning in Group 1

company, so here he is today. Still a very competitive race this.

We will have another look at the market to see whether the punters

are giving us a strong strong clue. Aljamaaheer is now the favourite.

Reply after that early plunge is back out to 6-1 again. Favourite is

slightly in the air there. I wouldn't worry too much. J Noseda

has been plotting this out and he's won this race twice in the last ten

years. This is the target for Valbchek? Yes, a very nice colt

indeed. The trainer, his record at Royal Ascot is quite good. This

race he has targeted and been successful at. Obviously with his

jockey booking you could have to think that he fancies his chances

with this colt. Obviously the most well known jockey based in the UK

is Frankie Dettori. Ascot over the years has been a happy hunting

ground for him. More of a challenge for him this season. He is riding

Sovereign Debt. Jamie Spencer riding Sovereign Debt for Michael

Bell. Redact mains unexposed. He's the sort of horse that could

improve and sort of do a bit of good. He's definitely upped in

grade. He is going to have to run better than he's ever done before.

Obviously running him in this seven furlong race they think he hust

have a chance. Jimmy Spencer does ride quite a bit for Michael Bell.

A horse there is being a bit reluctant. That's Producer. Going

forward now. Frankie Dettori is the man who a has the spat Jew built in

his honour for the magnificent seven. He's the leading jockey at

the royal meeting with 45 winners so far. He's been leading jockey of

the week five times. How you see him in colours, in which he won his

only Derby, on a horse called Authorise. He will be hoping to

have the same luck on Oasis Dream. Interesting that he is riding a

different horse tomorrow rather than opinion poll. He did ask if he

could switch rides and Godolphin kindly said he could. That's why

he's riding that horse. Whoever it is is just the one person. It might

well be him. Sheikh Mohammed I think. That's where conversations

begin and end. He makes the decisions. Capaill Liath. Fourth in

the Coventry here, and in the them. That suggests nobody has a

clear view on these yet. You might have picked a 25-1 shot that wins.

This The last couple going forward. Johnny Murtagh is on Sentaril. He

rode his first winner here in 1995 on Ridgewood Pearl. He has four

times been champion jockey, 38 wins to his credit. One of the greats.

Laffan, Amy Ryan. She's riding particularly well at the moment.

She's had 15 winners on the board already. Really lashing out, Laffan.

He is trained by Amy's father, Kevin. Let's check the betting.

Laffan at 40s. Drawn 14, ride in the middle of this pack of 22

runners. That's Frankie there on Justineo.

The green jacket he wore on his Laffan. Then they'll be set. They

stand... Set to go. And racing! Away to a fair start. Valbchek on

the nearside, a fraction slow into stride. Going very fast is Bannock

on the nearside. Fast in the early stages. Laffan showing out as well.

Right over on the far side early showing plenty of dash is Producer.

Settling down. Producer is going to be the early leader on the far side

from up there on the nearside Bannock. Laffan is in the centre

making a line of three. Redact behind them with Red Duke. They are

followed by Ptolemaic, green cap on the right. Further back in the

centre is Lethal Force, followed over on the far side by Swiss

Spirit, and also there is Ishvana. They are followed next by Lady

Gorgeous in the centre. Ewell Place is not that far away. Eastern Sun

is right in the middle of the pack. Aljamaaheer is behind a wall of

horses. In about 10th or 12 position as they race on to the

course proper. Ishvana on the far side grab as narrow lead. Swiss

Spirit going well. In the centre is Bannock, from Producer, Red Duke.

Further back is Lethal Force, ply pry Reply on the far side.

Aljamaaheer is in the clear, with five lengths to make up. Ishvana

has kicked for home. Ishvana on the farm side. Lady Gorgeous coming

there now, Producer is there as well with Lethal Force. They race

towards the line. Ishvana holding on. Aljamaaheer down the outside.

Ishvana got there! A photo second. That involved Sentaril, who flashed

home with Aljamaaheer. Not that far away behind them was Lady Gorgeous,

as they crossed the line. It is a real blanket here, buttish make

sure got the money in the colours of Ann-Marie O'Brien. Trained by

her husband, Aidan, and ridden by Seamie Heffernan. It is a photo for

second. It is 20-1 the winner. Ishvana. What a run! Aljamaaheer on

the nearside... Just coming back there with the green cap central

reel it is very tight between Sentaril. Just ahead of Aljamaaheer.

That's Lethal Force in fourth. Producer in the centre and the

yellow. Then at the top of the screen in the white cap, we see

crossing the line Lady Gorgeous. Then Boom And Bust. They are

followed by Ptolemaic. Further back then is Red Duke, who is in the

middle. Valbchek on the nearside. Redact Reply on the top of the

screen. Further back is Rebellious Guest, a back then to Eastern Sun

and Bannock. Behind them allual and Laffan, who was showing speed. Well

back in the field is Swiss Spirit and then Talwar and Telwaar. They

finished together. Number 26 Sentaril, third number three,

Aljamaaheer, ridden by Paul Hanagan. Fourth was Lethal Force. But

Ishvana, Ann-Marie O'Brien and Aidan O'Brien combining for the

first winner, with Seamie Heffernan in the saddle. 1. : 25.45. A 20-1

winner to open proceedings on day two. She was 33-1 when she finished

in the Irish 2,000 Guineas first time out. A filly not just owned by

Ann-Marie O'Brien but bred he her as well. Hasn't she quickened up

well here? The big guns steaming down, a brilliant finish from

Sentaril. Fillies finishing first and second. Ishvana the second

filly to win this race in three years, rain fall won it in 2010.

took a long time to pick up. Paul Hanagan was at him from a long way

out. Johnny Murtagh was tracking him the whole race. He was watching

him. Johnny thought that was the horse he had to beat and he tracked

him and then attacked him, but he just got the better of him and

finished second. This filly, who was sort of drawn sixth has come up

the middle of the track. Got away from them and finished really well.

When a filly runs second in a Group 1 classic you would have to think

it could come and win a Group 3 race, which is down in grade.

Obviously this filly, they must have fancied her to win today.

She's done a lot of good in the form sense for Mick Shannon's filly,

who beat her at the Curragh. It is not a bad job being second to Aidan

oh -- Aidan O'Brien. 20-1 the winner, 5-1 the second and

4-1 favourite, Aljamaaheer. Ann- Marie is going to lead in her

winner. What a proud moment for any owner-breeder. Let's look at the

photo for second. This is very tight, as you can see. Just getting

the gob there on the inside with the green cap. -- just getting the

job in there on the inside with the green cap, that's Johnny Murtagh.

Aljamaaheer had a wall of horses between him and the two-furlong

marker. There's Ishvana, out of Holy Roman Emperor, out of Song Of

The Sea. Aidan and his wife Ann- Marie have gathered together a good

band of brood mares. They go back a few years. I think Rock of

Gibraltar was one of theirs, a seven times group winner. The time

was only 0.51 of a second slower than the record, which was said by

Rainfall in this race two years ago. One length and a short head were

the distances. You can see the ground is drying out. This is very

significant. On the straight it is drying out. In fact overall it

would be drying out, because they have changed the going here before

racing to good overall. Slightly different to what was shown in the

papers this morning. So, there is the winner and the winning

connection. We can check the result in detail with John. Aidan O'Brien

wins the race, Ishvana, 20-1. Second was Sentaril, 5-1, third was

favourite, Aljamaaheer, at 4-1. It is another photo opportunity for

the O'Brien time and Ishvana. Front and centre for this photo is the

winning owner and the person who bred Ishvana, daughter of Holy

Roman Emperor. A top class two- year-old. He was a horse that had

enormous potential but unfortunately didn't quite fulfil

it as he was injured in his three- year-old career. We'll try to grab

a word as soon as this photo is all over. A lot of them involved in the

photo are the O'Brien family. Ishvana was second in the Irish

1,000 Guineas. Aidan O'Brien has had a number of good fillies,

including Homecoming Queen, who won the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket.

Ann-Marie, congratulations. It is interesting to see your name down

as the owner and the breeder. This must be a special moment for you?

Absolutely incredible. I would like to thank my dad who bought it from

the sales for us. I'm so happy to be here. She was very prim esive.

She showed a great turn of foot. She was very impressive. Obviously

there are very good fillies at Ballydoyle. It might be difficult

to work Hewitt is the best amongst them at the moment. We have lots of

races to be run and they all maybe have slightly different trips. I

think seven furlongs suited her perfectly today. It certainly did.

Well done. I'm trying to grab a word with Aidan if that's OK. Aidan,

we've had a word with the winning owner and, who is very happy and

grateful to her dad for buying her at the sales. I was saying to her

it must be difficult for you to work out who is the best filly in

your stable at the moment. She was great, a very good run at the

Curragh last time. She was a smart filly, loved fast ground. Plenty of

speed and travels and got a mile well. Seamus gave her a great ride.

I'm grateful to everybody. Have you managed to work out a pecking order

with Homecoming Queen and the lakes of Maybe? Not really. You will see

as it goes along on the track we don't put them together at home,

but pecking order hopefully will start showing shortly. A brief word

about Maybe. She was due to run in the Coronation Stakes is. She out

of that race? After declaration this morning, at 11 o'clock, she

had a bad stone bruise. They opened and released it. Will it depend

over the next hours how much relief she got from that. It usually takes

a day or a day-and-a-half. Will it did depend on how that is really.

We'll see how she is in the morning but I would say at the moment she's

Extremely. Takes her a while to loosen up. She wanted to go, and

sure, she's a Group winner now. she just getting better, a filly

coming to yourself? Aidan, I don't know what he does to them. Some can

be no good and start improving. They can get better. Is this your

first Royal Ascot winner? Yeah. does that sit with you? I am

getting experience now, I take everything in my stride. It's nice

to have it on the CV. Well done. Thank you.

So, a first Royal Ascot win there for Seamus there.

This time Aidan's horses got knocked over at the start and won.

She is there, stall number six. As she comes out of the gates horses

either side of her are going to come through and a few of them get

hampered here. Look at what happens there. He gets knocked over

sideways and she does, as well. To be that far back, hampered at the

start, I mean, classic form in the Guineas. She's done well. Very well,

because that was her chance to duck out of it if she she didn't fancy

it but not a bit of it, a tough sort this. Five or six all on top

of each other there. The one that suffered most is Rebellious Guest

who ends up at the back of the field. Let's look at the closing

stages of the race. Let's look at a couple of the interesting ones.

Green cap, Johnnie Murtagh and blue and white stripe cap of Paul

Hanagan, because of the way this race shaped out, they're at the

back of the field and looked as if they had time to quicken up. Paul

Hanagan said he was wished he was drawn the other side. He needed

that pace to take him closer. Johnnie Murtagh said his horse

jumped out really smart, keen in his hands and when he let her down

they were worried about her getting the trip. He said no worries about

the trip, nice sort. Probably unlucky on the day. They're both

saying the pace was over the far side which is what we found on the

King's Stand. Not any great advantage in the draw, it's where

the pace is. You got to be whatever side the other horses have the pace

are. OK. So it's 20-1 winner there for Aidan O'Brien. She does well to

survive that incident at the start and win.

She's got a lovely size and scope about her, real good reach in her

stride. I don't think anybody will be underestimating her the next

time she pitches up in Group race race company. For Anne Marie

O'Brien, she gets the added pleasure of the trophy being

presented by Jenson Button, and I am sure he will be later talking to

Suzi Perry, but for now let's see where she is.

Thank you very much, Clare. As a race-goer here you get a tremendous

view, fantastic access. I thought you might like to see a little bit

of the layout. Straight ahead is the Queen's balcony, she has an

amazing view. We are at the back of the Parade Ring. Clare and Willie

are broadcasting from that blue box over there in the studio. In front

of the studio there's a magnificent statue of Yeats, iconic racehorse.

Let's have a history lesson as we are walking along. Ascot as a

racing venue was discovered way back in 17 11 when Queen Anne was

out riding her horse, and saw this flat piece of Heath and thought

this is a great place to let horses go at full gallop and how right she

was. It wasn't until about 100 years later that actually the

racing as we know it today happened when the Gold Cup was introduced.

The Gold Cup is tomorrow. We know it better as Ladies' Day and that

was invented really back in 1823 when an anonymous poet said:

Ladies' Day when the women like angels look sweetly divine and we

all know the ladies on Ladies' Day do still look sweetly divine. We

talked about new fashion rules yesterday, so hopefully everybody

will be looking gorgeous tomorrow. Around that time King George V

commissioned the first Royal Enclosure, a two-tiered affair with

a lawn around and lots of rules. For example, you had to be invited

by royalty to come to the enclosure, but if you were a divorcee you

weren't allowed in until 1955 and still access was restricted. Ascot

itself looks absolutely incredible. The two-tiered affair from the

1820s is very different, as you see today. It reinvents itself once

every generation and the latest facelift was in 2006 where they

managed to stick to their �220 million budget and create this

magnificent racecourse which is one of the most spectacular in the

world. Now in the Grandstand area the band is firing up behind me.

This is an amazing bandstand where everybody comes to have drink and

champagne and tea and after the racing is finished little booklets

are given out with lyrics and flags and everybody sits here and sing

and it's a really, really terrific end to the day. It all started back

in the 1970s. You really do get a great atmosphere here and it's

great fun. Might have a little song later myself. I have been joined

here by Andy Holden. Great to have you back with us. What did you make

of yesterday with Frankel? It was amazing to be here. For the

opposition he is getting even better, he is not getting worse. He

will almost have to go newspaper trip to find new opponents. Why is

he so good? Analysing times and figures, he seems to be able to rip

a field apart by putting in huge bursts. Going quickly in the early

part of the race. From the three furlong part to two yesterday he

done ten seconds 58, Little Bridge won the King Stand, he's putting in

five-furlong sprint time in the hottest part of the race and

destroys milers. Like Usain Bolt running 100 metres over 400. Then

being asked to run the same speed for another 400 metres which is

almost impossible. He must have an amazing lung capacity as well as a

great physical spesman to do that. That's a case of Black Caviar over

to you. He's thrown down the gauntlet. She's down 9.98 fast

furlong. Odds of 1-3 at the moment. Don't think I would be getting

involved. What have you unearthed for us in next races. I like

Captivator. Horse off the back of a good run last time. Sectional times

Captivator did in that race suggest she was unlucky perhaps not to get

closer to the winner, stuck out on the wing exposed. If she had been

closer to the winner she might have won on that occasion. She's 20-1.

The Royal Hunt Cup, what have you found? Probably a couple. Prince Of

Johanne at the standside rail, ran in a hot race at York. Looked as

though it needed run on that occasion, but was second to a good

horse Fury. Will love fast ground. If the standside rail isn't big

inconvenience, I think he will go well. Other one is Bridgefield. He

probably came out best horse in the race. He's drawn stall 14. You have

one towards middle to far side and one stardz standside. Have hu

homework done on the Queen Mary? Best for last. Interesting there

the conversation about Frankel and whether he has got maybe a bigger

heart or lung capacity. Actually something you said yesterday, I

know know I understand context in which you said it but sounded

alarming, you said we won't know how good Frankel is until he is

dead and we can open him up and people listening going what! You

meant that, autopsies have shown great things. The heart will be

massive and the lung capacity. Brown Jockey's heart was three

times the size. Hyperian, he was one of the great racehorses, won

the Derby in 1933 and there is a statue of him in Newmarket. He had

an extra rib. They had the autopsy on him he had an extra rib. Maybe

that gave him more room for oxygen, as it were. That's why he was such

a great horse. Talking of Frankel, let's talk about Frankie and we

mentioned this briefly before the first race and Frankie Dettori,

whose statue here as you come in through the main gates, there is

the statue and he was posing happily there today, that

commemorates the magnificent seven. Still the most successful jockey

who currently holds a licence at Royal Ascot and no doubt that he

rides this course better than anybody. If you were Frankie and in

the position of being number one jockey - you never came under

pressure from a new boy on the scene? Only from Hampden. If you

were Frankie right now and Barzalona and DeSousa have joined

the team and clearly he is still riding a lot of horses but when

when -... What is Frankie thinking, approaching this week and what

would you give him advice? He is 41 years of age. He is obviously

thinking he is under pressure. I wouldn't be feeling that he is

under pressure because the horses are not winning races. If Barzalona

was winning on all the horses that was different, but they're not

winning. Frankie obviously is not getting everything to ride...

chatting with David. He goes around buying horses for them. Frankie is

a very gregarious person. Look at him. He is all fun, but he is still

a jockey in the big occasions, he is not a jockey to be his backside

in the weighing room, he should be on a horse. He should be on the

track. He is a jockey of world class. It had to hurt him not being

at Epsom on Derby day. These are his rides today. You can see the

up spare rides at Royal Ascot, they are rides. You are not going to get

on to the real live chances because they're hard to come by, from other

stables I am talking about. Planning is done so far in advance

and you have to develop a relationship. There is the Princess,

in opposition to her husband, Joviality, her colours.

Let's hear from a jockey who could have a superb day. He has been

second in the first race, could have two winners perhaps later. He

is with Rishi. Johnnie Murtagh Murtagh who could

have a very good day. You ride a horse in the Prince of Wales Stakes,

you probably don't know that much about him but he is obviously

decent. Coming all the way from America, Big Blue Kitten. His form

is good in America. Been placed a couple of occasions. The track will

suit him. He is a big galloping horse, track should suit him. I

haven't spoken to the trainer yet so not sure what we will do. Like

to ride him forward, use that stride and good eachway chance.

trainer you have a great record at Ascot for is James Fanshaw. He has

Dimension. Can you give me and any supporters of Dimension anything

about his chances? He booked me a couple of weeks ago, said he

thought the horse had a good chance. Has improved from his last run. A

mile at Ascot should suit him. A lot of positivities going for him.

If we are drawn on the right side and get luck he will be there or

thereabouts. Sounds encouraging to me. A brief word about the Gold Cup

tomorrow and Saddlary's Rock. didn't have a smooth run up to the

race, the ground was soft. Hope the rain stays away. He goes on good

fast ground. Forecast isn't great. It won't be as bad as in

Leopardstown. Hopefully he will be on the strait and always the fast

of it. If he can travel on the strait he will give a good account

of himself. If it didn't rain I would be more confident. Thank you

for talking to us. Good luck, especially on Dimension. Thank you

very much. Johnnie has ridden five Gold Cup

winners, certainly a man to listen to. Let's look at the second race

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds

The second favourite here trained by Sir Henry Cecil, Chachamaidee.

She's a five-year-old mare, with a decent chance in this, to be honest.

Pret y good-looking fillies, but this one improved. There is Henry.

Only had the one runner. You only need one if it's Frankel. Talking

to John Ferguson who is the bloodstock adviser to shake home. -

- Sheikh Mohammed. I'm sure they will be having a few words about

rivalry. Although I said you will be lucky for 20-1, it is hard

enough to find which of the shots that's likely to be. I think the

bookies were the winners after race one, to be honest. Let's hear from

Prince Abdullah's racing manager. He's with Rishi. Before we just get

into emmule lust, it's worth -- Emulous, it's worth finding out

about Frankel. How is he? Seems happy, no problems. Delightful.

Have you had a chance to think about the victory and put some

context to it? Not yet, no. It was a breath-taking performance by any

standards. I usually sit and yell from the stands, but I just sat

opened mouthed. Even you? I was -- it was such a wonderful job done by

Henry and Tom and everyone back home and Warren Place has been

fantastic. He's something else, isn't he? Incredible. We are

hearing all sorts of great ratings attached to him. Timeform are

saying that he will have the highest rating since the history of

Timeform and the highest racing since Dancing Brave. It must mean a

lot to be in control of a horse like this? It does. It means a huge

amount, because obviously people come in it for these very, very

special horses and the amount of people that come up to me and say,

"My son wasn't keen or racing, but they saw Frankel and they just

absolutely are mad for it now." It is hugely important for the whole

game, as well, of course, for the prince and Juddmonte and everything

else. Fantastic. Handle with care. About the filly in this race, and

with her penalty she has to give weight away. She has had a

preparation run. Encouraged? She beat a high class field in

Ireland last year and came out to The Curragh and travelled well in

the race. Was a little rustity and had a good blow-off, so obviously

the five pounds is significant, but she is in very good form and she'll

run very well. Thank you for talking to us. Give Frankel a pat

on the back from the BBC team. do. Really was such a sensational

performance and as teddy says, hugely important. Neil Callan

making his way down to the start on this gorgeous filly, Nahrain. Roger

varion, her trainer, has waited and waited to make sure she has a

summer and autumn season and it just depends whether she's sharp

enough to win first time out. She is certainly good enough, but would

she be ready? She's a very, very good filly indeed. The only time

she was beaten was when she went to the breeders cup and we know how --

Breeders' Cup and we know how tough those races are. She ran in the

fillies and mares race there and finished second, but she is a filly.

She won in France a short head on the Arc day. Look at Chachamaidee

and Tom Queally. Henry Cecil uses the hoods on a lot of his fillies

at home, every day and just helps deaden the sounds so the keerz are

covered, but no cups around the -- the ears are covered, but no cups

around the eyes. She won at Lingfield and had a little trouble

in running. She is a filly who has to improve, but she looks as though

she has done. She looks as though she has improved between four and

five. When a race horse gets to five they are at full maturity to

improve until they get to five years of age, so possibly she has

improved that little bit, but she would have to a little. Nahrain and

Emulous - Sorry, Chachamaidee was second last year in this race.

There are three-pound penalties because they are Group 1 winners.

It can sometimes work to the advantages for those who haven't

won and Lay Time hasn't. Jimmy Fortune rides here for Andrew

Balding and she was working very well on the gallops before she ran

at Epsom. They really fancied her and she was disappointing and only

fifth. You have to say to yourself, "If you think 9-1 is decent ignore

the run at Epsom and say whatever happens some horses hate it there."

That is Clinical there. She will be up in with what we call the band,

which is when you are very near the pace or near to making a run and

this filly is very, very genuine. Very tough. Has been around and

travelled a lot. A tough filly, but she is up against fillies today

that possibly you would have to say is a little better than she has

been meeting when she has been winning, but when you keep winning

up to Upgrade and here she is today, up to Upgrade and here she is today,

up to Upgrade and here she is today, trying to win. Isn't Luke Morris

doing well? Very much Sir Mark Prescott's number-one pick. Others

using him. Yeah. He has got plenty of experience on the all-weather

and going around the all-weather he was basically vying for champion

all-weather jockey and it went to a photo finish and I think she was

beaten just on the last day. could do something yet he hasn't

done and ride a Royal Ascot winner here. William Buick gets plenty of

rides in good races. First jockey to John Godsden. That means that

you get a host of well-bred horses, particularly by Princess Haya of

Jordan and this is a lovely filly. Won the Musicanna last year -- Musa

Dora last year. You can see that the fillies all meets because they

are top-rate animals and these are the only races they can run in.

Barefoot Lady was fifth in the Guineas last year and third in the

Coronation. She had won the Nell Gwyn last year and she's been busy

enough this year. You know, she is not far off these, but tends to be

a bit of a bridesmaid. She is a tough filly. Remember when she ran

at Newmarket, back in last year as a three-year-old and she was up and

up near the pace and battles all the way to the line. What is your

pick? My pick, well, I think I might go for Nahrain. I'm with that.

Over now to Jim. Tom Queally, well, what a difference 24 hours makes.

He's sitting there a lot more relaxed and casual than he was 24

hours ago, that's for sure. He was ready to ride Frankel then. He's on

Chachamaidee here. They're off and running and Chachamaidee has missed

it by six lengths on settling down. Law Of The Range will be the leader.

Up there is Barefoot Lady and also over on the far side is jovality

and now Nahrain over on the far side. Sitting in behind is Lay Time

and Emulous who has a beautiful sit in. Followed then by I Love Me, who

is right in the middle and Dysphonia, on the far side in the

Royal blue of Godolphin. Followed by Rhythm Of Light and further back

is Captivator and followed to the rear by Clinical with Chachamaidee,

who has made up ground and half a length away is Beatrice Aurore, who

is at the end of the field. Less than five to travel. The leader is

Barefoot Lady by a length to Law Of The Range and Nahrain in the yellow.

A length further back is Lay Time, followed through the back by

Emulous on the near side. Then jovality right over on the far side.

Further back is Clinical and Captivator. I Love Me and Dysphonia

and Chachamaidee there. Grabbing hold on the bit now. Kicking away

from Beatrice Aurore. Racing up. They've got two-and-a-half to go.

Barefoot Lady responding. Jovality and Nahrain in the centre under

pressure too, but running on. Now Chachamaidee is absolutely flying

up the stand-side, as they have a furlong left to go and Chachamaidee

has a nose in front. On the far side jovality going with her and

jovality kicking in again and jovality just doing the better and

jovality beating Chachamaidee. Lay Time in third. Barefoot Lady in

fourth, followed by Beatrice Aurore, then Law Of The Range and Emulous,

who never got into it from Dysphonia. Followed by Clinical, I

Love Me, Nahrain and Rhythm Of Light and Captivator at long last.

Well, Jovality has come good in the colours of Princess Haya of Jordan,

trained by John Godsden and ridden by William Buick. He has got up

there to just grab it on the line. From Chachamaidee, who raced there,

but the early effort of missing the start, we'll slow it down a bit.

There it is. Jovality getting there by a neck, from Chachamaidee. A

length away then is Lay Time in third. Run a much-improved race,

better than Epsom and then back next is Barefoot Lady and Beatrice

Aurore. Barefoot Lady just getting fourth ahead of Beatrice Aurore.

Followed there by Law Of The Range and then Emulous on the near side.

Nicely poised, but didn't run on. Dysphonia and Nahrain have gone to

the line together. Then follows the grey filly, Clinical. Then I Love

Me and Rhythm Of Light and then a long, long gap to the remaining

runner. Chachamaidee, that was costly at the start. She missed the

break. She missed it badly. A neck was the officially winning margin.

Jovality has got it. Jovality owned by Princess Haya of Jordan and

husband, shake moment a happy man for his wife. -- Sheikh Mohammed a

happy man for his wife. We'll check the time there. This was a filly

who always had good credentials. She won last year of course and the

distances are a neck and one length. Time 1.38.37. We'll look at the

start and see why Chachamaidee missed the break. It could be she

was put Ofaraby the filly next to her, and banged her head against

the front of the stalls and almost in a false-start movement and it

may be that Chachamaidee was distracted. You'll see Law Of The

Range gets a real flyer and Chachamaidee just stands there and

takes a few strides to get going. In the end, actually, she has come

with a withering late run and hard to say whether it actually has made

the difference, because she is on the bridle and she is close enough

and you pick it up here and only a length or level with the winner

actually, who is this side. She is a filly. She is probably highly

strung and obviously you would notice, if you go back to the start,

when she was in the stalls next to her, on her off side, there is

nothing. The junction of the two stalls. There wasn't a horse next

to her. She only had the horse on her near side and possibly that's

one of the reasons why she has missed the kick and the other being

that Tom Queally didn't want her to jump too quick and overdid it a

little, because she is such a free- going filly and he got her settled

beautifully, but this Jovality, who is a filly you would have to think,

would want further than this mile and got to the line really strongly.

There you can see Princess Haya, going to lead her winner in.

Princess Haya a great equestrian. She was the first woman from the

Middle East to compete in the Olympic Games. Here leading in her

saying about Chachamaidee, no doubt Tom Queally did want to - as he

said, might have overdone it and if you look back through the records

you will see that she's frequently been steadied at the start, which

is exactly what he was trying to do. But as I say, just slightly

overdone. Then went there very, very quickly and the run petered

out. But this filly, good to see her back in the winners' enclosure,

she is a quality filly. No doubt about that. It's a sign she's

recaptured that promise she showed as a three-year-old.

She's a high-class racehorse, that's for sure. Let's look at the

full details now on this Windsor Forest Stakes, our second race on

this performance. Giving this filly plenty of attention. She's a filly

by Cape Cross, has been such a good sire. Sire of really outstanding

horses. This is a good winner, that's for sure.

In this new winners' enclosure, possibly not new, but certainly new

layout, let's put it that way. Rishi has the winning trainer.

Here I am with John Gosden. You must have been worried in the

closing stages. Probably short for the mile, you know, and we have had

to wait for her to come right in June. She has a lot of tenacity. I

respect Henry's filly, who is very fast, but I thought if we can be in

the right place we might outstay her. A thrilling tpoerpance. She's

come on -- performance. She's giving you options with distances

and where you can take her. She's probably a mile to mile and a

quarter. There's nice races for her, but that's the elite end and rather

smart fillies in France waiting. And always nice to have another one

at Royal Ascot. It is. We had a difficult day yesterday and it's a

strange game our game. Commiserations about The Nile. Well

done with Joviality. Thank you. She's going to be the most

wonderful filly, Joviality. Cape Cross very good. Interestingly, we

could have a Royal winner of our feature race, Prince of Wales

Prince of Wales which we will be showing shortly on BBC2. Remember

that Carlton House was given to her by Sheikh Mohammed so there is

quite a link here and Sheikh Mohammed will also be in the

paddock. It was a gift as a foal or yearling? Possibly a yearling. He

is here in the line-up for the Prince of Wales Stakes you with he

is -- but he is tag on the giant that -- skwraoeu -- he is taking on

the giant that is So You Think. We will see how that race pans out on
