Bright sunshine here at Royal Ascot, but a very strong wind it's blowing

:01:00.:01:04.

straight down the course. It hasn't slowed down Newfangled, the

:01:04.:01:08.

impressive winner of the first race, or Thomas Chippendale who worn down

:01:08.:01:16.

his stable mate to take the King Edward VII Stakes and give Henry

:01:16.:01:23.

Cecil a seventh win. Let eats hear from the winning

:01:23.:01:27.

trainer. Here is the winning trainer of the

:01:27.:01:31.

King Edward, Sir Henry Cecil. A one two just like the old days? Love

:01:31.:01:36.

lift very pleased for Sir Robert, he deserves it, puts a lot into

:01:36.:01:41.

racing, he's an improving horse and stays well. He could even be a

:01:41.:01:46.

Leger horse but we'll see. Was it the result you expected? I thought

:01:46.:01:51.

they both deserved to run, they both were going to have a chance

:01:51.:01:56.

and the Derby third was a good horse but he had a harder race than

:01:56.:02:00.

a Derby and he's worth taking on, but two different owners, I hate

:02:00.:02:04.

within beating the other but they both ran well.? Your horse has gone

:02:05.:02:09.

from winning a handicap to a Group 1 at Ascot. Did you believe he was

:02:09.:02:13.

capable of that? He was obviously capable of running in this race

:02:13.:02:16.

because he wouldn't have run it otherwise and it's just nice for

:02:16.:02:26.

Sir Robert to have a good win. about the other horse? Time will

:02:26.:02:30.

tell. They're both improving. The winner's improving, he's still a

:02:30.:02:34.

big baby and he didn't do winter very well, he was a bad eater and

:02:34.:02:38.

everything. Everything's coming good now and he's on the upgrade.

:02:38.:02:42.

Was there any question of the second being a bit naughty in the

:02:42.:02:47.

closing stages? No, I think he did everything right. They're both

:02:47.:02:50.

babies, one's probably slightly more a bigger baby than the other.

:02:50.:02:57.

Thank you very much. Well done. That just a few moments ago. Henry

:02:57.:03:01.

Cecil on the trophy presentation stage. The presentation being made

:03:01.:03:07.

for this race by David Walliams. Oh, hello, he's thrown the trophy to

:03:07.:03:15.

one side! And Lara Stone, David Walliams' wife. Extraordinarily

:03:15.:03:20.

well-known comedian, also raising �8.5 million by swimming the

:03:20.:03:27.

channel and the River Thames. Robert Ogden with Anna Olivera. And

:03:27.:03:32.

Henry Cecil and Johnny Murtagh. Not a result necessarily we would

:03:32.:03:38.

have predicted? Certainly not. Very disappointing run by Astrology.

:03:38.:03:43.

Ryan Moore said he didn't handle the sticky ground? He looked as

:03:43.:03:47.

though he was just niggling out. He was never sitting against the horse,

:03:47.:03:51.

he was always just, his hands were always just moving and he was sort

:03:51.:03:58.

of saying, come on, come on. But anyway, you know, it's 21 days

:03:58.:04:05.

stins Derby and he had a hard race that day -- since the Derby and he

:04:05.:04:09.

had a hard race that day. After the Derby, you take time to recover.

:04:09.:04:13.

You want to be careful you are not blown off your box, you know, a

:04:13.:04:18.

very stprong wind? Were strong wind and the horses are racing straight

:04:18.:04:23.

into the wind -- strong. Obviously, you might get a few horses moving

:04:23.:04:29.

about in the finish. But, as you said, a funny result, but obviously,

:04:29.:04:33.

Sir Henry Cecil there said he's a big, big baby and didn't eat

:04:33.:04:38.

through the winter. That was the interesting part. He didn't do and

:04:38.:04:42.

now that the summer's come, he's starting to eat and get stronger.

:04:42.:04:47.

When you get your horse getting stronger, eel gallop quicker. Of

:04:48.:04:54.

course, that's what he did two weeks before. He ran off 86, his

:04:54.:04:58.

handicap mark. That's right. Now Newmarket? And today he's beat an

:04:58.:05:02.

horse who finished third in the Epsom Derby. Well, we know he

:05:02.:05:09.

didn't run to his form, but he's a very big improvement on the last

:05:09.:05:13.

race. Group 1 action coming up next by way of the Coronation Stakes but

:05:13.:05:21.

let's look at what's already happened today.

:05:22.:05:27.

Sir Henry Cecil was keeping an aye on his wife Lady Jane and Frankie

:05:27.:05:31.

Dettori coming in in great form. Those flags not needing any help to

:05:31.:05:36.

blow in the wind and the Queen leading the Royal procession. The

:05:36.:05:40.

Albany Stakes saw a well-backed favourite, Newfangled set out to

:05:40.:05:45.

make all the running and despite veering toward the left, William

:05:45.:05:50.

Bewick drove her out for an emphatic victory. She may be a

:05:50.:05:55.

1,000 fillies Guinea and looked very, very good. King Edward VII,

:05:55.:05:59.

this was the finish. Thomas Chippendale. Noble Mission coming

:05:59.:06:05.

into shot there. A one two for Henry Cecil. Astrology the odds on

:06:05.:06:08.

favourite was very disappointing. Still to come, we have the

:06:08.:06:15.

Coronation Stakes over a mile. The favourite is Homecoming Queen, the

:06:15.:06:20.

Irish Guineas winner. Laugh Out Loud with Frankie Dettori on board

:06:20.:06:30.
:06:30.:06:36.

and Samitar combined to win the Willie Carson is keen on the

:06:36.:06:39.

chances of Estimate owned by the Queen. We could have a Royal winner

:06:39.:06:43.

at Royal Ascot. We finish with the Buckingham Palace Stakes on BBC

:06:43.:06:46.

interactive, so press red for that. A lot of people watch Ascot, not

:06:46.:06:51.

necessarily for the racing and the sport, although hopefully you enjoy

:06:51.:06:53.

that, they watch for the fashion. That's why we have a person with

:06:53.:06:57.

that role tolike at what everybody's wearing, tell us about

:06:57.:07:02.

it and see behind-the-scenes on the other hand's sue si Perry. Thank

:07:02.:07:06.

you very much. I'm in the grandstand thruen see how

:07:06.:07:14.

everybody's getting on here. -- Susy Perry. Grandstand to see how

:07:14.:07:17.

everybody's getting on. Some beautiful hats here. Lots of creams.

:07:17.:07:27.
:07:27.:07:32.

Wow, that is a huge hat! High heels are the order of the day. Lots of

:07:32.:07:35.

bright colours, a real mixture of colours this year. Looked like he'd

:07:35.:07:39.

had a winner. Let's see if these ladies have. You all look fantastic.

:07:39.:07:49.
:07:49.:07:50.

What are your names? Flo. Tara. Kelly. Where is your outfit from?

:07:50.:07:59.

Dress from Hennes and dress from TK Maxx. And you? Just high street.

:07:59.:08:04.

And your hat? I made that. Well done! Did you see the headlines

:08:04.:08:08.

about the enforcement of the rules? There were so mfplt I've seen all

:08:08.:08:14.

of them and they were trying to push the point through for months

:08:14.:08:17.

now. You are walking around like this all day? Trying to hold on to

:08:17.:08:20.

it, yes, it's really windy. It's the gusting that's the problem.

:08:20.:08:27.

This is a super dress. Where have you had this one from? Jaeger.

:08:27.:08:32.

Lovely. Any winners? Not yet. at all. You can't be doing as badly

:08:32.:08:37.

as me, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. You look terrific though.

:08:37.:08:42.

Thank you very much. Let's have a look at a very, very

:08:42.:08:48.

classy filly here. This is the Coronation Stakes coming up. And

:08:48.:08:52.

let's have a look at number 8, the one I'm interested in, Laugh Out

:08:52.:08:57.

Loud. He really impressed last time, really did a good job. If you lack

:08:57.:09:03.

at her form, she's really only 1-1 bad race. It wasn't even a bad race,

:09:03.:09:08.

it was well back in the 1000 Guineas, didn't have much luck that

:09:08.:09:13.

day. She's on her toes there, as you can see. We'll keep an eye on

:09:13.:09:19.

her later and see how she is when she's in the paddock. Runners and

:09:19.:09:29.
:09:29.:10:01.

riders for this Coronation Stakes The opening show for this

:10:01.:10:11.
:10:11.:10:22.

Coronation Stakes is Homecoming In position to have a very gad look

:10:22.:10:26.

at the fillies for the Coronation Stakes is Her Majesty the Queen

:10:26.:10:31.

with her racing adviser and very soon they'll come into the paddock

:10:31.:10:37.

for this Group 1 race. Although Homecoming Queen is favourite, Mick

:10:37.:10:41.

Shannon has every chance of possibly doing what Henry Cecil did

:10:41.:10:45.

in the last race because he's got Samitar and Laugh Out Loud. This

:10:45.:10:50.

gang of ladies holding on to their hats, as am I, are with Laugh Out

:10:50.:10:54.

Loud and Anne Black you are a co- owner, how whiting is this? Amazing.

:10:54.:10:58.

I only have three horses in training and for a small own tore

:10:58.:11:01.

be here today and have one of the most favoured horses in the race is

:11:02.:11:05.

just so exciting. Really exciting. And these girls have been with me

:11:05.:11:14.

every inch of the way. Who are they? We just call them... This is

:11:14.:11:21.

my daughter Emily and some really good old friends. Khalid alMohammed

:11:22.:11:26.

chose her and they are exceptional as owners. I've not met any other

:11:26.:11:30.

owners who'll go through the sales catalogue and choose a horse like

:11:30.:11:36.

they do. They are real owners, they are not luck, they do it by skill.

:11:36.:11:42.

And Mick Shannon, such a fun trainer? Absolutely. I can't

:11:42.:11:47.

believe it, he's such a lovely, lovely guy, a lovely family and

:11:47.:11:53.

it's such a joy to be here. Hell or high water, I've had a very, very

:11:53.:11:58.

bad eight months and today, to see the light at the end of my tunnel,

:11:58.:12:01.

it's just been a roller coaster ride over the last eight months and

:12:01.:12:05.

my horses have just brought me through everything and it's lovely.

:12:05.:12:10.

Absolutely lovely to be here, a real joy. It would be absolutely

:12:10.:12:13.

wonderful today if she could just run well, not necessarily win, just

:12:13.:12:18.

to run well? No, just to be here is a Real Story. Thank you so much for

:12:18.:12:22.

talking to us and I really wish you luck. Thank you very much indeed.

:12:22.:12:27.

The sun really coming out now and the wind dropping down and Anne's

:12:27.:12:35.

friends gathering down here. It hasn't been an easy eight months or

:12:35.:12:40.

so, her horses have kept her going. Oh, sorry, walking into the back of

:12:40.:12:47.

somebody. Rishi, where are you? Relaxing? Willie was saying his

:12:47.:12:52.

feet are sore. We are having a rest. I don't wear good shoes but

:12:52.:12:57.

comfortable shoes, I'm standing on my feet too much. On a box most of

:12:57.:13:01.

the time! They should stay at the wardrobe at home. Here is number 8

:13:01.:13:05.

anyway, Laugh Out Loud, the grey, only beaten twice in her career so

:13:05.:13:09.

far. She was a little disappointing in the Guineas, people put that

:13:09.:13:13.

down to the soft ground. Not sure that that's the case, she'll be all

:13:13.:13:17.

right on the ground, what do you right on the ground, what do you

:13:17.:13:19.

think? She'll be all right on the ground. It's not that bad. Good-to-

:13:19.:13:26.

soft. The thing is, the ground will definitely suit Homecoming Queen, a

:13:26.:13:30.

little filly. But she definitely needs soft ground. She is a little

:13:31.:13:36.

filly. Heard you and Clare talking about her and how small she is, 14-

:13:36.:13:41.

1 I think. I think she's a bit taller than that, but he is very

:13:41.:13:51.
:13:51.:13:52.

small. These fillies in this strong wind usually they get on idge, the

:13:52.:14:01.

horses -- on edge. John Gosden's got a kunle of horses, -- couple of

:14:01.:14:06.

races. We have Fallen For You? she doesn't quite look good enough.

:14:06.:14:14.

Really? I wouldn't have thought so. She won over in France didn't she?

:14:14.:14:21.

Yes. And Lingfield last time out. John Gosden also got Starscope in

:14:21.:14:27.

the race. And Homecoming Queen, she looks fine doesn't she. You

:14:27.:14:31.

wouldn't think a tiny filly like that would want soft ground, but

:14:31.:14:37.

obviously she does. What about Number 11, Samitar, the Irish 1000

:14:37.:14:41.

Guineas winner? She won well in Ireland. She's going to get tucked

:14:41.:14:45.

in behind and keep out of the wind here today. There's quite a few

:14:45.:14:50.

fillies want to go forward so I would imagine the pace will be very,

:14:50.:14:55.

very fast, but this filly will be held up. She's by Rock of Gibraltar.

:14:55.:14:59.

Will the ground be too soft for her? I'm hoping not because the way

:14:59.:15:03.

she won at the Curragh, you know, she was sitting there until the

:15:03.:15:08.

furlong and a half, still on the bridle. Very impressive. She'll put

:15:08.:15:15.

on a big show today. Mick Shannon has a good chance. Could be first

:15:15.:15:21.

and second. Jim you Fortune is on board

:15:21.:15:28.

Starscope and a huge chance on that. The jockeys about to get their leg

:15:28.:15:31.

up. Joseph O'Brien when he goes up to Homecoming Queen is the one to

:15:31.:15:36.

watch. We have discussed how tall he is. Willie is laughing at him

:15:36.:15:46.
:15:46.:15:55.

now. He's going up to have a word yourself backwards and forwards.

:15:55.:15:59.

What do you call those things? Brilliant!

:15:59.:16:04.

I am sure that will make Joseph feel more relaxed about the task

:16:04.:16:09.

ahead as he walks up to Homecoming Queen. Aidan will give him a leg up

:16:09.:16:13.

in a moment. I just want to see, before we check the odds for

:16:14.:16:19.

Homecoming Queen, as Joseph goes up to her, almost the sight to see is

:16:19.:16:24.

him standing next to her before he gets on her because you will see

:16:24.:16:28.

the contrast. Bear in mind he's six foot tall. Much taller than his

:16:28.:16:35.

father, even with a top hat on. There she is - the little filly. He

:16:35.:16:41.

could almost wrap his legs around her tummy and fold them in a knot!

:16:41.:16:45.

He will try and make himself as stream-lined as he can, as

:16:45.:16:54.

Homecoming Queen makes her way out on to the course.

:16:54.:16:59.

One of the earliest ones out into the parade, going down early is

:16:59.:17:05.

Laugh Out Loud. We spoke to her co- owner, Ann Black. Frankie Dettori

:17:05.:17:15.
:17:15.:17:17.

having to sit tight, because she's very much on her toes.

:17:17.:17:24.

We got turned down by Mick Channon. When he heard he said he might have

:17:24.:17:32.

a one-two, he said "Go away." What did Aidan O'Brien say to you?

:17:32.:17:38.

having a bit of fun about the size of the jockey getting on and off.

:17:38.:17:48.
:17:48.:17:50.

He said 14 '1, he is. Only 14 '1. You ignored me. She is, 14 '1.

:17:50.:18:00.
:18:00.:18:01.

for the parade. Bugie D'Amore, a 16-1 shot, trained by Alan de

:18:01.:18:04.

Royer-Dupre. Cardigan is Hanagan's contender.

:18:04.:18:08.

She has not won this season, but she won at Haydock on her only

:18:08.:18:16.

start as a two-year-old. Next we have Fallen For You, and William

:18:16.:18:22.

Buick looking side ways. 16-1 shot for William, who won the

:18:22.:18:26.

opener. It is Homecoming Queen who has gone to the other side - the

:18:27.:18:31.

favourite. This 2000 Guineas winner from Newmarket, who then finished

:18:31.:18:36.

fourth in the Irish 2000 Guineas. She loves soft ground. Probably

:18:36.:18:40.

needs that to be at her best. I wonder if he will try and make all

:18:40.:18:45.

into the strong head-wind or hide her behind one of the bigger horses

:18:45.:18:51.

and they are all bigger than she is. Intense Pink, this is a big step up

:18:51.:18:56.

in class. With the prize money going all the way down to sixth

:18:56.:19:02.

place, plenty of people deciding it is worth taking a chance. The only

:19:02.:19:06.

Godolphin runner in this race is Irish History. Barzalona gets the

:19:06.:19:12.

ride. She's 12-1. She won her first start this year at Windsor.

:19:12.:19:18.

Ryan Moore is on board Russelliana for his boss, Sir Stoute. She has

:19:18.:19:28.
:19:28.:19:29.

bits and bobs of form, but was disappoints last time out.

:19:29.:19:35.

Starscope, second in the 1,000 Guineas. Third at Newbury. She

:19:35.:19:39.

could bounce back. John Gosden's horses are running well. This is

:19:40.:19:49.
:19:50.:20:22.

the feature race of the day at money.

:20:22.:20:32.
:20:32.:20:34.

Now, So You Think goes on and wins. Racing in the Gold Cup and it's

:20:34.:20:40.

Opinion Poll. Colour Vision has gone on to win

:20:40.:20:50.
:20:50.:21:15.

Coronation Stakes. First run in 1840. It was founded to commemorate

:21:15.:21:20.

the crowning of Queen Victoria in 1838. It will be presented by the

:21:20.:21:25.

Duke of York, but who will be collecting it? Traditionally this

:21:25.:21:29.

race brings together the winners of the British, the Irish and the

:21:29.:21:39.
:21:39.:21:41.

French 1,000 Guineas. This is Sam - - this is the winner of the British.

:21:41.:21:47.

Don't forget Laugh Out Loud and Mick Channon wouldn't talk to you

:21:47.:21:52.

because he was so nervous. He is excited and nervous. So he should

:21:52.:21:57.

be because he's got two fillys in this race with fantastic ability. A

:21:57.:22:01.

Guineas winner from Ireland. His first ever classic winner. This

:22:01.:22:07.

filly here you are looking at is Homecoming Queen. 14-1. She's a --

:22:07.:22:13.

14 '1. She's a giant! She has a giant heart. She might be

:22:13.:22:18.

small in stature, but when she won the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket that

:22:18.:22:27.

day, she absolutely murdered every filly in that race. There is...

:22:27.:22:31.

Barzalona walking her to the one- mile start. It is one mile on the

:22:31.:22:35.

round course. The rail has been taken down today, so they are

:22:35.:22:39.

running on fresh ground. We will look at the course. We saw them in

:22:39.:22:44.

the king Edward VI. They move back into the rail to

:22:44.:22:48.

take the shortest. Those horses were on ground on the inside that

:22:48.:22:54.

has not been used before. And just by... They may come down the middle

:22:54.:22:58.

and then go to the rail. No, they will be right on the inside rail

:22:58.:23:01.

because that is all fresh. They have taken down the running rail

:23:01.:23:05.

that was up, the false rail and they will be all on the inside.

:23:05.:23:10.

They will get back on to sort of old ground when they get into the

:23:10.:23:14.

straight. That is when they fan out. You see there just the slight

:23:15.:23:19.

uphill finish. Yes. It is a long, long way home, particularly for

:23:19.:23:25.

fillies and into a head-wind. head-mind today. There are quite a

:23:25.:23:29.

lot little fillies here that will be going forward when the gates

:23:29.:23:36.

open, so you would imagine that... Let's look at Samitar, who won the

:23:36.:23:46.
:23:46.:23:46.

Albany here last year. Hugely improved form to win the

:23:46.:23:51.

Irish last time out. That form franked by the winner up wining the

:23:51.:23:56.

Jersey earlier this year. Yes. The ground would be the key to this

:23:56.:24:03.

filly n a sense, that she is by Rock of Gibbons.

:24:03.:24:11.

-- Rock of Gibraltar. Back to Samitar - the ground could

:24:11.:24:13.

be just a little bit too easy for her.

:24:13.:24:20.

It's a worry, put it that way. She is possibly t way she won the 1,000

:24:20.:24:26.

Guineas in Ireland, she did it so well. And that gave Mick Channon a

:24:26.:24:30.

first classic winner England or Ireland. He had won plenty in

:24:30.:24:36.

Germany, but a first of the quality classics. Homecoming Queen, 9-4

:24:36.:24:42.

favourite. Laugh Out Loud 7-2. Samitar 9-2. Laugh Out Loud, there

:24:42.:24:49.

in the middle, the grey filly. Frankie said he will sit close to

:24:49.:24:53.

the pace but he may not have to do that if Joseph goes out in front.

:24:53.:24:58.

You can see there, Frankie, he would have a chance. Yes. He has a

:24:58.:25:04.

chance. And Mick Channon, he could have a one-two.

:25:04.:25:08.

The ground is on the easy side today. That's what she likes.

:25:08.:25:12.

many more to go forward. Homecoming Queen will be one of the last.

:25:12.:25:16.

Let's join Jim. THE COMMENTATOR: The last couple going forward.

:25:16.:25:25.

Homecoming Queen, a -- there is Frankie. He is in the middle, he's

:25:25.:25:31.

in stall six, so not in such a disadvantaged position as William

:25:31.:25:35.

Buick and Fallen For You. They are set. Off and running in this

:25:35.:25:38.

Coronation Stakes and away to a fair start too. Laugh Out Loud is

:25:38.:25:42.

one of the first to get going. Thrup too on the inside going

:25:42.:25:45.

through is Homecoming Queen, to take out the early running from

:25:45.:25:50.

Samitar. In fourth position, early, is Irish History. They are a

:25:50.:25:55.

length-and-a-half in advance of Starscope and further back, on the

:25:55.:26:03.

inside, Intense Pink. Further back Bugie D'Amore. At last is Cardigan.

:26:03.:26:09.

Homecoming Queen is out in front, by a length, to second, Laugh Out

:26:09.:26:15.

Loud. The orange jacket of Samitar. A length further back follows Irish

:26:15.:26:19.

History. Two lengths away is Starscope, on the outside of

:26:19.:26:26.

Intense Pink. Bugie D'Amore for France. Racing up

:26:26.:26:30.

towards the entrance of the home straight, three-and-a-half furlongs

:26:30.:26:34.

to travel. It's Joseph O'Brien on Homecoming Queen, leading by a

:26:34.:26:38.

length to Laugh Out Loud. Samitar has the run of the race. A length

:26:38.:26:42.

away is Irish History, followed by Starscope, around the outside. In

:26:42.:26:46.

behind them, batting away, is Intense Pink, followed then by

:26:46.:26:50.

Bugie D'Amore. He kicks for home, Joseph, as they come inside the two

:26:50.:26:53.

now. Homecoming Queen in front. Here come the challengers. Samitar

:26:53.:26:58.

is out of the pocket. Down the outside is Fallen For You. Fallen

:26:59.:27:03.

For You coming home at 100 miles per hour, grabs a lead and a

:27:03.:27:10.

furlong left to go. Has sprinted three in front. Fallen For You is

:27:10.:27:15.

racing away here. Fallen For You goes on to win it for William Buick

:27:15.:27:20.

and for John Gosden. Three or four lengths. Second

:27:20.:27:24.

Starscope. Third Irish History, followed then by Bugie D'Amore and

:27:24.:27:29.

then followed by Samitar. A long gap and Laugh Out Loud, from

:27:29.:27:33.

Intense Pink. Homecoming Queen has beaten only two home. And they are

:27:33.:27:40.

Russelliana and Cardigan. Fallen For You - a classy filly.

:27:40.:27:46.

Here she is, crossing the line for William Buick and what a meeting

:27:46.:27:52.

they're having, he and John Gosden. Second, Starscope. Jimmy Fortune.

:27:52.:27:57.

In third then is Irish History, Barzalona. Fourth in, very tight,

:27:57.:28:02.

oh, that is very, very tight. Far side it is Samitar, near side is

:28:02.:28:07.

Bugie D'Amore. Only a nose in that.

:28:07.:28:17.
:28:17.:28:17.

And then a gap to Laugh Out Loud, who has not run her race at all.

:28:17.:28:21.

Then behind Laugh Out Loud, Intense Pink and then Homecoming Queen, who

:28:22.:28:27.

carted them along and got weary when they came to the home straight,

:28:27.:28:32.

finished a long way back then Russelliana and Cardigan, having

:28:32.:28:37.

only her second race card has finished last. The winner is number

:28:37.:28:47.
:28:47.:28:49.

four, Fallen For You. Owned -- trained by John Gosden and ridden

:28:49.:28:53.

by William Buick. I was saying a disadvantage to be on the outside.

:28:53.:28:58.

Well it was not to prove that way at all. William Buick has been able

:28:58.:29:02.

to get Fallen For You into a position where she swooped and she

:29:02.:29:11.

did it to some devastating effect. Samitar has fourth. The distance is

:29:11.:29:19.

three and a quarter lengths and two and a quarter lengths. 1.42. 95.

:29:19.:29:23.

William Buick is back in the winner's enclosure again, enjoying

:29:23.:29:33.
:29:33.:29:37.

that signifies jockey of the week. John Gosden goes into the lead for

:29:37.:29:40.

the trainers' Championship this week. They are having a wonderful

:29:40.:29:43.

Royal Ascot and this filly's produced the race of her life, a

:29:44.:29:47.

career best performance for her. She's ran twice this year on the

:29:47.:29:51.

all-weather. One first time out and finished sixth in a Group 3 race.

:29:51.:29:57.

Today she comes to Ascot and wins a Group 1 and Willie, you look at it

:29:57.:30:00.

again and again and you would never have predicted this before the race,

:30:00.:30:06.

I don't think anyone did? No. The only thing was that William

:30:06.:30:11.

Bewick's chosen this filly over others in the race and the reports

:30:11.:30:17.

were that she had been working very well at home but, when you lack at

:30:17.:30:23.

her form, you thought, well it's just a little bit too much a bridge

:30:23.:30:29.

to get over. He's also ridden a very patient race, second last

:30:29.:30:33.

turning into the straight, switches her wide, nothing interrupts her

:30:33.:30:37.

momentum or rhythm and she quickens into a three length lead and John

:30:37.:30:43.

Gosden as the one two because Starscope gets the better of the

:30:43.:30:48.

battle for second over Irish History. It's amazing how the form

:30:48.:30:51.

can turn, things that you would never thought could happen.

:30:51.:30:55.

Homecoming Queen desperately disappointing. Tiny little filly,

:30:55.:30:59.

obviously all the racing she's had is starting to tell on her and they

:30:59.:31:04.

didn't let her get away. She was first into the head wind where

:31:04.:31:10.

William Bewick kept his filly tucked away and came up to the

:31:10.:31:18.

outside and whoosh, went past as if they were all standing still. This

:31:18.:31:23.

filly has started to improve at a very, very fast pace because, as

:31:23.:31:28.

you said, the last time she was running, it was on the all-weather

:31:28.:31:32.

on a Group 3 and didn't even win. William showing that he can ride a

:31:32.:31:39.

race from the front, like he did on Newfangled, or a waiting horse like

:31:39.:31:45.

he did on this, Fallen For You. Not even 24 years old yet and

:31:45.:31:49.

developing into such a wise jockey. You can see his back leg coming

:31:49.:31:53.

right up out of the saddle there. He lost contact there with the

:31:53.:31:59.

horse. Definitely putting all his energy into pushing her forwards

:31:59.:32:03.

obviously. But when you're riding in Group 1 races, I suppose you

:32:03.:32:07.

have to keep going until you get past that winning line. We thought

:32:08.:32:11.

Mick Shannon might be the one more likely to have a one two, but

:32:11.:32:15.

Samitar didn't pick up, Laugh Out Loud was with the pace, dropped

:32:15.:32:19.

away. They've ran a reasonable race, but these two, don't forget the

:32:19.:32:26.

second horse here finished second in our 1000 Guineas. So you've seen

:32:26.:32:31.

a very special race here when you've got John Gosden having a one

:32:31.:32:41.
:32:41.:32:50.

two, emulating Sir Henry Cecil who my Lords, ladies and gentlemen,

:32:50.:32:56.

what a day, what a week for John Gosden and William Buick. Today,

:32:56.:33:00.

victorious in the Group, the Coronation Stakes with a filly

:33:00.:33:10.
:33:10.:33:14.

owned by Normandy stud, Fallen For You!

:33:14.:33:20.

JIM MCGRATH: Justified applause as well. Bred by the Normandy Stud and

:33:20.:33:26.

this will be a very valuable filly, she's improved so much. We saw her

:33:26.:33:32.

at Kempton on the all-weather two starts ago in May. That was

:33:32.:33:37.

transferred from here from Ascot to Kempton on the all-weather. Started

:33:37.:33:44.

5-1 on that day ridden by rhine Moore and she ran out of effortless

:33:44.:33:49.

-- Ryan Moore and she ran out an effortless winner then ran out to

:33:49.:33:54.

Lingfield, back to the seven there from a mile.

:33:54.:34:04.

She was beaten into sixth position. So Fallen For You, she's come up

:34:04.:34:10.

trumps today. That time is 4.63 seconds outside the record. Ground

:34:10.:34:20.

very much on the slow side today. It really is sunk in, that rain

:34:20.:34:28.

that we had overnight. So slow times. But Fallen For You is a

:34:28.:34:36.

really good winner from Starscope, the stable mate and Irish History

:34:36.:34:39.

winning a place for Godolphin back in third. The two classic winners

:34:39.:34:46.

are a long way behind them, Homecoming Queen and Samitar. That

:34:46.:34:52.

smile says it all. Let's check the full result now on the Coronation

:34:52.:35:02.
:35:02.:35:10.

Gosden. Get ready for Gatewood next, doubles and trebles going on this!

:35:10.:35:15.

John, what was the trigger for this per for manslaughter from Fallen

:35:15.:35:22.

For You today? -- performance for Fallen For You today? I said be up

:35:22.:35:25.

there because it was riding fast and the speed was holding at

:35:25.:35:28.

Newmarket and that was riding her back-to-front. Then she had a

:35:28.:35:33.

holiday, came back and she had it in her mind she was always too keen.

:35:33.:35:38.

Ryan won on her at Kempton. But it wasn't where he wanted to be. We

:35:38.:35:42.

ran her behind the lovely filly of Henry's and she got in trouble but

:35:42.:35:45.

learned a lot. She trained beautifully, worked beautifully

:35:46.:35:50.

last Sunday morning. Really thrilled with her work and we were

:35:50.:35:55.

ready for a big run if it slotted. They went hard up front. There's a

:35:55.:35:59.

head wind. She is classy, it's not a fluke. Indeed and William

:35:59.:36:02.

standing close by. John was saying about the pace of that race and how

:36:02.:36:06.

well that suited her today? Yes, I always thought previously

:36:06.:36:10.

when she's run, things have conspired against her and today

:36:10.:36:14.

everything went towards her, it was perfect for her, good gallop, cover

:36:14.:36:21.

from the wind and a good rhythm. She finished the race well and won

:36:21.:36:25.

very easily. It's no fluke, this is how good he is and hopefully now

:36:25.:36:29.

it's onwards and upwards. The team believed she's very good, but how

:36:29.:36:34.

impressed were you by the turn of foot? Very impressed. Taking on the

:36:34.:36:37.

best of a generation, of course I'm impressed. Third win of the week,

:36:38.:36:43.

time for the presentation. Well done. Thank you. I'm joined by

:36:43.:36:47.

Martin Harley, he's battered, not bruised, very pleased with your

:36:47.:36:50.

filly Samitar, but you said the ground might not have been in your

:36:50.:36:56.

favour? Exactly. She jumped well, I thought I had a great seat all the

:36:56.:37:00.

way, was covered from the good head wind out there. Is it a real

:37:00.:37:05.

struggle for them? I wouldn't like to be - that two-year-old was

:37:05.:37:12.

impressive to jump out and do what she did in that head wind - it's

:37:12.:37:17.

quite distracting, yes. I thought she was going to pick up and do

:37:17.:37:19.

something, but she gave everything and ran all the way to the line.

:37:19.:37:24.

That's all you can ask for. Well done. Exactly. Thank you. His Royal

:37:24.:37:28.

Highness the Duke of York making the presentation here. Phillipa

:37:28.:37:32.

Cooper, the owner breeder who owns Norman day Stud, the name under

:37:32.:37:38.

which her horses run. That is a big, big trophy to take home. And for

:37:38.:37:42.

John Gosden, he is enjoying the best Royal Ascot of his career.

:37:42.:37:48.

Three winners already and out in front now in the race to be leading

:37:48.:37:52.

trainer. He's never quite managed that yet and he's had good Royal

:37:52.:37:58.

Ascots in the past. But they have to have a one two in a Group 1 and

:37:58.:38:03.

Henry Cecil also enjoying a golden week. It's a great day for

:38:03.:38:07.

Newmarket so far, they have displaced Aidan O'Brien who's had

:38:07.:38:13.

two hot favourites beaten today, Homecoming Queen and Astrology,

:38:13.:38:18.

neither of who even made the first three. William Buick, everybody

:38:18.:38:21.

apreeshing his talents now. He was born in Norway and his father was

:38:21.:38:26.

an eight time champion jockey in Scandinavia. He came to ride for my

:38:26.:38:30.

father when he was about 14, he was tiny, weighed about five stone and

:38:30.:38:37.

dad thought he was such a good rider, he took 1,000 to 1 that

:38:37.:38:41.

William Buick, before he'd ever ridden in a race, got a bookmake

:38:41.:38:46.

tore give him 1,000 to 1 that he would make champion jockey and it

:38:47.:38:51.

may yet happen. Let's have a look back at some of

:38:51.:38:56.

the bits of this Coronation Stakes then. The winner was not one of the

:38:56.:39:06.
:39:06.:39:06.

leading contenders. Here is the start. Fortunately,, or

:39:06.:39:11.

unfortunately, a very windy day. The white face breaks awkwardly.

:39:11.:39:15.

Here is the winner from the extreme right from the highest draw of all.

:39:15.:39:21.

And with the likelihood of a strong gallop, William Buick drops her at

:39:21.:39:28.

the back. Cardigan is messed around by the others. Very awkward for

:39:28.:39:33.

Paul Hanagan. William Buick's done well though, he knows he needs to

:39:33.:39:38.

slot his filly in. As well, he is saved from the buffeting of the

:39:38.:39:43.

wind. Plus he knows that the one to beat has in the last couple of runs,

:39:43.:39:45.

inCludding the good win at Newmarket made the running and also,

:39:46.:39:50.

everybody else is not going to want to let her get too far ahead. This

:39:50.:39:56.

was the result of a fairly strong gallop earlier on. They went quick.

:39:56.:40:01.

As you alluded to, a lot of the horses were beaten when they turn

:40:01.:40:07.

ford home. Homecoming Queen in front. The muck Shannon pair --

:40:07.:40:13.

Mick Shannon pair there. She's making progress, Fallen For You, in

:40:13.:40:17.

the pink and white jacket. She's just hidden by Russelliana, so at

:40:17.:40:20.

the three quarters of a mile from home, there is the winner, there is

:40:20.:40:24.

the second placed horse, there is the third, and you see the front

:40:24.:40:29.

three at this stage do not figure in the placings of the race. Let's

:40:29.:40:34.

look what came into the home straight. Still, Fallen For You is

:40:34.:40:41.

a little way behind the others on the outside making her challenge.

:40:41.:40:48.

There is Samitar like a perfect position for Martin Harley. Yes, he

:40:48.:40:52.

said he'd no real executions, Homecoming Queen is just coming to

:40:52.:41:00.

the end of her tether. The other horses felt flat, didn't pick it up

:41:00.:41:07.

at all. Second and third horses, Starscope

:41:07.:41:11.

second at Newmarket in the 2000 Guineas, been beaten over further

:41:11.:41:16.

since, another solid win at group level for her. Godolphin's horse

:41:16.:41:20.

has run a little late on but it's only her third start and a tough

:41:20.:41:24.

task, the toughest to date? Yes, but the thing we have to take out

:41:24.:41:28.

of this race is, whatever John Gosden's got at the rest of this

:41:28.:41:32.

meeting, you've got to try and be on it. Only nine races left. Fallen

:41:32.:41:36.

For You, she'd been one of the leading contenders for the two-

:41:36.:41:42.

year-old races, the Mayhill and Fillies Mile last year. She is at

:41:42.:41:46.

the top of the rankings. We have three-year-olds who've won races

:41:46.:41:54.

and it will take a while to work out exactly which one is the best.

:41:54.:41:58.

William came to Royal Ascot having ridden three winners in his life,

:41:58.:42:02.

he's doubled it just this week, taken his career total to six, the

:42:02.:42:07.

leading jockey so far this week and he's not finished yet because he

:42:07.:42:11.

has Gatewood in the next and Gosden has Beachfire also in that case.

:42:11.:42:16.

Her enjoying a great day. Did they go too fast? They could have, but

:42:17.:42:22.

it's the style of those fillies. In the past that's what they've done.

:42:22.:42:27.

It looks as though they went too fast. But it seemed to suit the

:42:27.:42:30.

horses coming from behind. The ground is on the slow side, so I

:42:30.:42:35.

would imagine the horses upfront did two a little too fast, but it's

:42:35.:42:43.

the way it's panned out. I could see a hat flying across the paddock.

:42:43.:42:48.

Mine keeps moving but hasn't blown off yet. Let's see how people are

:42:48.:42:58.
:42:58.:43:26.

make a Diamond Jubilee cocktail, or probably I'm going to show you how

:43:26.:43:31.

not to make it. Nathan from the Savoy, do you want to grab the mic

:43:31.:43:39.

because I'm going to start it. What do we do? Fresh fruit juice, grape

:43:39.:43:43.

fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice to create the

:43:43.:43:48.

balance as well, give it nice acidity. Almond syrup, two big

:43:48.:43:53.

squeezes to help with the nuttyness and sweetness. OK. Cup of tea?

:43:53.:43:57.

Little bit of Earl grey to go along with the traditional punch from the

:43:57.:44:06.

1700s. How much do we need? stop? Perfect. Two good healthy

:44:06.:44:14.

measures of Bombay Sapphire gin, a very key ingredient. Two of these?

:44:14.:44:19.

Yes. Three even better! Yes, you know me!

:44:19.:44:24.

Next up, chill the glasses with some ice here. Am I going to shake

:44:24.:44:29.

this? Yes, but we are going to put the cap on first so it doesn't go

:44:29.:44:33.

over that beautiful white jacket. know, I did wear the perfect

:44:33.:44:38.

clothes. I don't want to have a comedy moment. Put it on.

:44:38.:44:41.

Cruise. Here we go. Cocktail. We are going to put some ice in it

:44:42.:44:51.
:44:52.:44:53.

first. I knew that! Quickly. ice? Ice. All the way to the stop.

:44:53.:44:59.

Shake er and shake! OK. Lots of love and passion. This is being

:44:59.:45:04.

made with total love and passion here. Very good. All right. We are

:45:04.:45:11.

going to top these wine glasses up with fresh ice, very quickly here.

:45:11.:45:20.

Yes, OK. Some ice in here. There we go. Yes. Next thing you do is pour

:45:20.:45:28.

over the ice. Here it comes. Here we go, Diamond Jubilee. Beautiful.

:45:28.:45:32.

Looking good. What do you think? Fantastic. Great colour you have

:45:32.:45:35.

there. Thank you very much. One more thing, finish the glass with a

:45:35.:45:40.

built more ice before the champagne. Oh, more ice. Ice is our friend in

:45:40.:45:47.

the cocktail world! Then top up with champagne there.

:45:47.:45:51.

Thank you very much. There we go. A lady can't drink alone so I've

:45:51.:45:58.

picked myself a rather hot date in the form of Jake Warren who runs

:45:58.:46:04.

the Bird Cage Club here. Very professional. Unprofessional but

:46:04.:46:09.

thank you very much. The Bird Cage, test it for yourself and tell us

:46:09.:46:14.

what you think? Delicious. Serving them at the Bird Cage. Definitely.

:46:14.:46:18.

Shall I pop down? I'll be the oldest person in there if I come

:46:18.:46:23.

down. Absolutely not. It's for hot young things. You are a massive

:46:23.:46:27.

racing fan aren't you, you have your own racehorse? Yes, we have

:46:27.:46:30.

been doing it for a while now. The Bird Cage has been running for

:46:30.:46:33.

three years in the Royal enclosure and it's a great space for the

:46:33.:46:38.

young to enjoy racing and Ascot and have a place to be amongst their

:46:38.:46:48.
:46:48.:46:54.

won his maiden at Newbury. He won on the soft ground, which was not

:46:54.:46:58.

quite for him. We've giving him a bit of a rest, waiting for firmer

:46:58.:47:02.

ground. We hope to get him on the tracks around the Olympics.

:47:02.:47:08.

shall look out for it. Shall we have cheers with our Diamond

:47:08.:47:14.

Jubilee cocktail? Cheers to you! Now, if you are a flat jockey, you

:47:14.:47:19.

would want to be in this man's boots today - William Buick. He's

:47:19.:47:25.

got a winning double on the board. Three winners for the week. He

:47:25.:47:33.

wears that armband there - that signifies he's the top jockey. We

:47:33.:47:42.

have only nine races left for the week. This is the man who leads

:47:42.:47:48.

them. This is the Wolferton Handicap. It is over a mile and a

:47:48.:47:54.

quarter. We have three non-runners now with Danadana coming out late.

:47:54.:48:04.
:48:04.:48:04.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds

:48:04.:48:50.

Richard Hughes, looking for his first winner this week. He's on

:48:50.:49:00.
:49:00.:49:02.

board Sirvino. He has written an August toe biography. It it is

:49:02.:49:09.

called "a weight off my mind." He is the son and former trainer of

:49:09.:49:14.

Dezzy Hughes. From happy beginnings. It has not always been happy

:49:14.:49:21.

sailing, as he revealed. I was not enjoying it. Every time I

:49:21.:49:27.

rode a winner, it was, I haven't been found out. It was just my

:49:27.:49:32.

whole attitude, you know. I thought people ran racing for me, you know

:49:32.:49:42.
:49:42.:49:45.

Richard Hughes. I'd have a bad day get drunk. Have

:49:45.:49:50.

a good day get drunk. There was no difference. I know when I read it

:49:50.:49:58.

first, it was almost cringe worthy. What did it feel like for you?

:49:58.:50:05.

don't mind at all, because when you are off alcohol for a long time you

:50:05.:50:11.

actually believe you are OK. Especially at Ascot, you see

:50:11.:50:15.

sparkling champagne. Just one will be all right. It brings me back to

:50:15.:50:19.

where it brings me and all the tour moil with it. On a daily basis I go

:50:19.:50:24.

through that any way. I remind myself I'm a alcoholic. It's not OK.

:50:24.:50:31.

When did you first know you had a real problem? -- he had a real

:50:31.:50:35.

problem? I caught him halfway in the door, halfway out the door. I

:50:35.:50:39.

walked up to the door where we were living. I thought he was dead or

:50:39.:50:44.

someone had attacked him. I thought ux we definitely have a problem. I

:50:44.:50:47.

hounded him. I said you have to see someone about it. He would not

:50:47.:50:53.

listen to me. It is very graphic in the book, how you described how you

:50:53.:50:58.

came to your senses. There was a situation with Lizzie, where you

:50:59.:51:07.

felt you had to come clean. I gave up for three months. At first, I

:51:07.:51:11.

thought I have a problem. Even though I admitted I was an

:51:11.:51:16.

alcoholic. After three months I celebrated that I'd done three

:51:16.:51:21.

months. Within two weeks I was worse than I was ever before. I

:51:21.:51:29.

cheated on Lizzie. Got caught. Probably that was the lowest point.

:51:29.:51:36.

How hard were times for you? It was awful, because it's funny I never

:51:36.:51:42.

doubted he was the within. I always knew it was just him not, not

:51:42.:51:47.

really him, if you know what I mean? He was going through a stage.

:51:47.:51:51.

So long as people don't think I'm a doormat, which I'm certainly not.

:51:51.:51:56.

Don't get me wrong, he's had his two strikes. That is the sort of

:51:56.:52:02.

place I was in. I didn't know if I was coming or going. The guilt, it

:52:02.:52:08.

was catching up with him. I knew if I married her I would get found out.

:52:08.:52:12.

We were supposed to get married. We went to tell dad it was all off. I

:52:12.:52:18.

think dad thought it was a bit of a joke and hugey said, no it's not.

:52:18.:52:24.

He still asked if he could ride out. Dad said, certainly not. When you

:52:24.:52:30.

went back to Ireland you saw Johnny Murtagh. Someone who has gone

:52:30.:52:37.

through that thing. How much did you take that he has gone through

:52:37.:52:41.

it and come out? If I went into meeting other alcoholics, it's all

:52:41.:52:46.

right for them. They don't have to get up at 6am and eat nothing all

:52:46.:52:50.

day. It would be a very easy way out for me. When he'd been there

:52:50.:52:54.

and done it, there was no reason I couldn't do it. How difficult then

:52:55.:53:04.
:53:05.:53:05.

was it for you to go to an AA meeting? It was hard. I felt that

:53:05.:53:10.

low. There are great people in AA. We all help each other. It's

:53:10.:53:15.

nothing to do ashamed off. You can defend alcohol all your life and

:53:15.:53:25.
:53:25.:53:26.

finally when you said, I -- it's beaten me. You talk about it as a

:53:26.:53:32.

disease which kids you haven't got it? I was six months going to AA.

:53:32.:53:39.

One evening I sat in the back of the room, I just accepted I was an

:53:39.:53:44.

alcoholic. Knowing you are and accepting it is a different thing.

:53:44.:53:47.

There are some people in wheelchairs and they cannot get out

:53:47.:53:55.

of them. All I needed to do was get out of it. How proud are you of him

:53:55.:53:58.

getting himself straight and for being the person he is now?

:53:58.:54:03.

Brilliant. Words cannot describe it, to be honest. He's just the man I

:54:03.:54:08.

always thought he was, inside. He's proving that now. She stood behind

:54:08.:54:15.

me, thank God. Stuck by me and she's been rewarded

:54:15.:54:22.

now - I'm not a bad fella when I'm on the straight and narrow. He says

:54:22.:54:28.

you are his rock now. I suppose I did put up with quite a bit. I

:54:28.:54:34.

don't mind taking that maybe... Reluctantly. She's so lovely,

:54:34.:54:38.

Lizzie. You can see all the jockeys there watching that story. I bet

:54:38.:54:42.

you there'll be someone, somewhere in the country thinking, he is

:54:42.:54:47.

talking about me, he's : I am in that position and may become more

:54:47.:54:52.

honest with themselves because of that. An incredible interview. They

:54:52.:54:58.

have two children now. They have Phoebe and Harvey. They are happy

:54:58.:55:04.

together. Lizzie runs a hat hire business. A lot of women here are

:55:04.:55:09.

wearing hats they hired from Lizzie. I went and had a drink with them

:55:09.:55:14.

last night. In the back of the boot there are all Lizzie's hats.

:55:14.:55:21.

Bringing them back, and renting them the next day. He's one of my

:55:21.:55:26.

best mates. I have to say, I am unbelievably proud of him writing

:55:26.:55:31.

that book. He bared his soul. That is difficult to do. He has to walk

:55:31.:55:35.

into that Weighing Room, they are his peers, people he looks up to

:55:35.:55:39.

and look around, and for him to do that shows how strong he has become.

:55:39.:55:46.

It would be fitting were he to ride a winner after watching that.

:55:46.:55:49.

will not necessarily be the shortest priced of those he rides

:55:49.:55:54.

this week. As we know from the winners we've had today, upsets can

:55:54.:55:59.

happen. There are not many better men to have on your side than

:55:59.:56:03.

Richard Hughes, just a beautiful horseman. We will see where Sirvino

:56:03.:56:13.
:56:13.:56:37.

horses in the paddock. Gatewood has been the horse that a lot of people

:56:38.:56:42.

expect to win this. Walking around the paddock, how impressed or not

:56:42.:56:47.

impressed were you by what you saw? He hasn't got the best of hopes

:56:47.:56:52.

around him. -- the best of hops around him. Explain what you mean?

:56:52.:56:58.

His hocks are left behind him. Behind his hind legs. He has more

:56:58.:57:04.

of a curve on them than normal. He's quarters were not -- his

:57:04.:57:10.

quarters were not big, robust ones. As soon as the rider was on top of

:57:10.:57:15.

him his shape changed. He was going around there, sort of half asleep

:57:15.:57:21.

and not using himself, but as soon as William Buick landed in the

:57:21.:57:27.

saddle his whole shape changed and he came alive. He did. One other

:57:27.:57:31.

horse, number five, Mijhaar, a horse who ran here last year. He

:57:31.:57:36.

ran well in the king Edward. This trip is probably more in his favour

:57:36.:57:40.

today? He's obviously a horse who will run a big race here today.

:57:40.:57:47.

He's got a lot of stamina. You would have to think that a mile and

:57:47.:57:53.

a quarter would be as short a distance as he might like. He might

:57:53.:57:56.

get further in the future. The king Edward last year, he did not see it

:57:56.:58:06.

out. I thought a drop back to 10 might suit him.

:58:06.:58:10.

His pedigree suggests he would get a mile and a quarter and even

:58:10.:58:18.

further than this today. Who is going to win this? Well, I presume,

:58:18.:58:23.

as William Buick, can you ride three winners in a day? Well, he's

:58:23.:58:28.

the favourite. He has a very big chance. It is a very tough race and

:58:28.:58:34.

of course Mijhaar, obviously will be there abouts. Thank you.

:58:34.:58:44.
:58:44.:58:54.

Already at the start - this is number nine, this is Qaraaba.

:58:54.:58:59.

A good trainer? He dislocated his hip. It is one of the most graphic

:58:59.:59:03.

things I have ever seen. He has turned his hand to training. This

:59:03.:59:09.

horse has done well for him. has won three from four. The only

:59:09.:59:15.

defeat she had was from Danadana. She has got a little warm and

:59:15.:59:25.
:59:25.:59:32.

hopefully is down there early being spoken about. This horse was

:59:32.:59:39.

fourth in the king Edward seventh last year to Nathaniel. Nathaniel

:59:39.:59:49.
:59:49.:59:52.

not getting placed. Bit keen on the way down to the start though?

:59:52.:00:00.

seems to be getting a run on hill. Neil needs to be keen to keep him

:00:00.:00:07.

slower. No point in using the energy. There you go, the head

:00:07.:00:13.

comes down. French Navy is in front of him, trained by Godolphin. They

:00:13.:00:17.

also have Retrieve trained by Saeed bin Suroor, the winning trainer

:00:17.:00:22.

from yesterday's Gold Cup. He's now with Rishi. Retrieve and Con Artist.

:00:22.:00:26.

Before we get into the runners in this case, how is vision vision

:00:26.:00:29.

vision today? He's doing good. He came back sound after the race,

:00:30.:00:35.

fresh and happy, he was happy no problem at all with him. We'll give

:00:35.:00:38.

him a little break now and will keep the options open. How good was

:00:39.:00:44.

it for you to get back into the winners enclosure here in the big

:00:44.:00:53.

one? It was something special for us. Everybody in the office was so

:00:53.:00:57.

happy yesterday. All the team were smiling. That's what you need in a

:00:57.:01:01.

stable yard. How good was Frankie? Very happy. You need Frankie to win

:01:01.:01:07.

a big race like the Gold Cup. aboard the top weight here,

:01:07.:01:11.

Retrieve. What chance has he got? Rain well at Lingfield last time

:01:11.:01:21.
:01:21.:01:25.

and is sound and ready to go. Hope the surface is good. What about Con

:01:25.:01:35.
:01:35.:01:37.

Artist? He's doing well also, he needed a rest last time and he's

:01:37.:01:41.

likes to be somewhere close. Hopefully another winner waiting

:01:41.:01:48.

for you. Thank you and good luck. That is the second of Saeed's two

:01:48.:01:58.
:01:58.:02:03.

runners. French Navy. This horse won three. He won the select Stakes,

:02:03.:02:07.

a decent race. Needs to recover that form and he'll be right in

:02:07.:02:17.

there? Yes, this horse is very interesting! Horse 10 Kirthill.

:02:17.:02:22.

Kieren Fallon rode this last time. A masses massive improve. Keiron

:02:22.:02:27.

wasn't hard on him. As soon as the chance was gone, that was enough. I

:02:27.:02:33.

think it's very interesting jockey. Ryan Moore would have a choice of

:02:33.:02:38.

rides. Kieren Fallon presumably did have the choice and choice to ride

:02:38.:02:44.

Danadana instead. I thought Kieren Fallon might try to switch for this

:02:44.:02:47.

horse but Ryan Moore was fairly keen on maintaining I think.

:02:47.:02:55.

Exactly, saying I'll stay on that, thank you very much. There's

:02:55.:03:02.

Sirvino. Hughesy is there. doesn't send horses down south, the

:03:02.:03:07.

trainer, for nothing. Just getting very warm. It's not that hot here

:03:07.:03:15.

today though. He was third to Gatewood at Epsom. Closely tied

:03:15.:03:25.
:03:25.:03:38.

form with Gatewood who remains also got Beachfire. He had a one

:03:38.:03:42.

two in the last race. Beachfire came off a good gallop to win this

:03:42.:03:46.

race last year and we see very often that horses win here, they

:03:46.:03:50.

win one year and come back and do it the next. Seven pounds higher. A

:03:50.:03:55.

lot of people who've watched him will question his resolution at the

:03:55.:04:00.

minute and William Buick's done well with his choices this week.

:04:00.:04:06.

Rare to see a horse with blinkers and a nose band. He's looking all

:04:06.:04:12.

around. Nose band is to make them look above. And here is the other

:04:12.:04:16.

horse! This overcame everything last time to win. Really stuck

:04:17.:04:25.

behind a wall of horses last time. Pulled out and went up on the line.

:04:25.:04:30.

I think this horse with a stiffer track like this will really suit

:04:30.:04:36.

him. He's just getting warm between his legs, under the saddle and on

:04:36.:04:42.

his neck. Gatewood the favourite here. Gatewood second and Qaraaba

:04:42.:04:47.

near the top as well. Anything else to mention? Jamie Spencer is taking

:04:47.:04:53.

over on Ottoman Empire. This horse was very nay Rowley beaten by

:04:53.:05:02.

Gatewood. Enjoys a bull in the weights. Looks relaxed. -- very

:05:02.:05:07.

narrowly. Here is Jim McGrath for the wolf

:05:07.:05:17.
:05:17.:05:19.

Ayrton handicap. Johnny Murtagh on Hyper. -- Wolferton. He won on

:05:19.:05:23.

Leopardstown last night. Desperately unpleasant weather

:05:23.:05:27.

conditions and rode out again this morning. A couple of Irish Derby

:05:27.:05:31.

hopes. So he's back here, has ridden a

:05:31.:05:35.

winner already. Hard pressed to get this to win though.

:05:35.:05:41.

Ready and they're racing. In the Wolferton. Away to a fair start on

:05:41.:05:51.
:05:51.:05:58.

the outside, one of the first away is. Retrieve in the centre. Ottoman

:05:58.:06:04.

Empire. Kirthill trapped on the inside. Sirvino. A length further

:06:04.:06:09.

back, Gatewood settled centre field. A nice position too followed on the

:06:09.:06:17.

inside by Beachfire. Beachfire last year's winner. Qaraaba there.

:06:17.:06:22.

French Navy. Hyper is last. Black Spirit fourth last. Coming out of

:06:22.:06:27.

Swindley Bottom, the leader is Con Artist, goes on by two lengths.

:06:27.:06:36.

Ottoman Empire in second. A length and a half further back. Opera Gal.

:06:36.:06:43.

Deeper on the track is Gatewood, very handy. Followed by Kirthill.

:06:43.:06:48.

Sirvino in the centre. Black Spirit further back. Beachfire. Qaraaba's

:06:48.:06:52.

lost his place and been shuffled back. As they race up past the half

:06:52.:07:00.

mile, the leader on the inside is Con Artist, by a length to Opera

:07:00.:07:07.

Gal. Ottoman Empire. Mijhaar. French Navy. Retrieve in the centre.

:07:07.:07:13.

Kirthill. Followed by Gatewood. Starting to run on fairly well.

:07:13.:07:18.

It's Con Artist who leaves them for home. On the outside, Opera Gal.

:07:18.:07:22.

Mijhaar strongly coming up. Followed by French Navy in behind

:07:22.:07:26.

them, Retrieve. Gatewood is in the clear and making ground. Mijhaar

:07:26.:07:31.

gets the lead with a furlong and a bit to two. Gatewood on the outside

:07:31.:07:36.

for Frankie. Now Gatewood starting to swoop. Black Spirit down the

:07:37.:07:42.

outside and Qaraaba as they race up with 100 yards to go. Qaraaba is in

:07:42.:07:48.

the lead. Tight second, Black Spirit out wide with Mijhaar. Just

:07:48.:07:53.

behind them was Retrieve with Qaraaba and they were followed by

:07:53.:08:01.

Kirthill, further back then Sirvino. Con Artist towards the rear, so too

:08:01.:08:05.

was French Navy. In company with Ottoman Empire. Last year's winner,

:08:05.:08:13.

Beachfire was one of the last. So it's a treble for William Buick,

:08:13.:08:19.

landing the money here on Gatewood. What a finish it was! He sticks his

:08:19.:08:25.

neck out and gets the money. Three on the board for John Gosden and

:08:25.:08:32.

William Buick. A tight second. Black Spirit near side. It's been

:08:32.:08:35.

called. Officially Black Spirit, third Mijhaar, then Qaraaba

:08:35.:08:40.

launched with a run down the outside fourth. Then in fifth is

:08:40.:08:46.

Retrieve. Top of the screen Number 10, that's Kirthill. Then a gap to

:08:46.:08:50.

Sirvino behind them. They were followed by Galloway gal

:08:50.:08:55.

and Hyper, the American runner, who did particularly well under

:08:55.:09:02.

conditions you wouldn't have expected to suit him -- Opera Gal

:09:02.:09:07.

and Hyper. Further back, they're still coming,

:09:07.:09:14.

two more to come. There they are, Beachfire last year's winner and

:09:14.:09:20.

Ottoman Empire is last. So, William Buick and John Gosden, very much

:09:20.:09:26.

their day and Gatewood in the colours of George Strawbridge has

:09:26.:09:36.
:09:36.:09:42.

won the Wolfen -- Wolferton. Let's check the prices of the one,

:09:42.:09:46.

tworbgs three. No, they are coming through now. We'll give you them as

:09:46.:09:52.

soon as we get them. Good performance and the distances were

:09:52.:10:02.
:10:02.:10:23.

a neck and a head. And there are John Gosden and William Buick but

:10:23.:10:30.

the man who'll celebrate most with this, is the owner, because those

:10:30.:10:34.

colours travelled with great success from previous champion

:10:34.:10:39.

sprinters. Never been has George Strawbridge

:10:39.:10:44.

had a Royal Ascot winner. Now he has with the well backed, well

:10:44.:10:48.

fancied Gatewood. William Buick getting shelter then switching out

:10:48.:10:54.

wide down the outside of all of the runners and Gatewood catching

:10:54.:11:02.

Mijhaar who's in front now and ran well. Black Spirit finishes very

:11:02.:11:08.

well. Gatewood was always going to wear down Mijhaar. Gets there with

:11:08.:11:12.

three strides to spare. When your confidence is sky high as a jockey,

:11:12.:11:16.

everything falls into place for you. William will feel that no matter

:11:16.:11:20.

what he does today, it's the right thing. He's given this horse an

:11:20.:11:23.

absolute peach. Everyone wants to ride that perfect race. You get

:11:23.:11:28.

there in the shadow and mug someone and that's exactly what he's done

:11:28.:11:32.

here. So pleased for George Strawbridge because he comes up to

:11:32.:11:37.

Ascot pretty much every year and he's been a huge investor in racing

:11:37.:11:40.

in terms of breeding horses and keeping them on in training and

:11:40.:11:50.
:11:50.:11:57.

he's a very sporting man. And a real thrill for him. He He'll be

:11:57.:12:04.

pinching himself now. Yes, he will, three Ascot winners in one day for

:12:04.:12:08.

William Buick. A great moment for George Strawbridge who led this

:12:08.:12:12.

winner in, Gatewood, and William Buick now on four winners, Ryan

:12:12.:12:17.

Moore with two and a host of other jockeys with one winner a piece

:12:17.:12:23.

headed by Queally and O'Brien. Good position to be in. And a great

:12:23.:12:32.

way to bring up the half century. George Strawbridge, his colours

:12:32.:12:39.

carried to victory here in this country. But also in America, he's

:12:39.:12:46.

been an owner of long-standing and great success. There are the

:12:46.:12:52.

trainer standings after 22 races. John Gosden in front. Sir Henry

:12:52.:13:02.
:13:02.:13:17.

Cecil, Aidan O'Brien. They're both check the full details of this

:13:17.:13:27.
:13:27.:13:32.

Wolfrton handicap. John Gosden's certainly hot. What a week it's

:13:32.:13:36.

been so far, John? Yes, up and down. It's been great. Good rides today

:13:36.:13:40.

and lucky to have two lovely fillies like we did spot on form.

:13:40.:13:44.

This horse was always fancyed to come in the first three here.

:13:44.:13:46.

Luckily they went pretty strong again and he could come down the

:13:47.:13:50.

outside and do it. I think the trainer's been running him over the

:13:50.:13:53.

wrong trip, I think he should go a mile and a half, I think I got him

:13:53.:13:59.

a bit short. He's in the Princess of Wales Stakes at Newmarket, is

:13:59.:14:04.

that right? Yes, you saver the moment at Royal Ascot, the future

:14:04.:14:08.

is the future, fantastic -- savour the moment. He's the last of the

:14:08.:14:12.

great American owners that have horses here so it's great. William

:14:12.:14:16.

watched him in the paddock and said he was half asleep. As soon as

:14:16.:14:22.

William got on board he came alive. Yes, he sits up and goes, hello,

:14:22.:14:26.

trouble on my back. That's his style of running, he likes to come

:14:26.:14:30.

with one big run and William had him in the perfect position off the

:14:30.:14:34.

bend when he wanted to go. Thank you very much. Now a word with

:14:34.:14:39.

William. What a day?! Days that jockeys dream of. Royal Ascot

:14:39.:14:43.

itself, just to have a horse that runs well is very good and having a

:14:43.:14:46.

winner is fantastic, but to have three winners in one day, it's

:14:46.:14:51.

really amazing. I knew I had good rides coming into the week, but a

:14:51.:14:55.

lot of other people have good chances as well and it's tough,

:14:55.:14:59.

it's the creme-de-la-creme and you need to take a chance, but very

:15:00.:15:03.

fortunately so that are everything's gone my way and the

:15:03.:15:07.

horses are in top shape. I'm just very, very happy and very grateful.

:15:07.:15:11.

Take us through the way the race ran, the strong gallop suited your

:15:11.:15:16.

horse John said, he stayed on strongly suggesting further will be

:15:16.:15:20.

comfortable for him? I wanted him closer to the pace. He'll get a

:15:20.:15:25.

mile and a half in time. They were going so quick and I just wanted to

:15:25.:15:29.

keep him on an even keel. He's finished the race really well. He

:15:29.:15:34.

is better than the winning margin when he steps up, you know. He's a

:15:34.:15:38.

nice, progressive horse and is certainly going places. Tuesday was

:15:39.:15:43.

a difficult day for you, it's amazing how this game turns around?

:15:43.:15:49.

It's amazing. It's a sad loss, he was a very nice horse, but you've

:15:49.:15:53.

got to move on, new day, get up and move on and I'm very pleased for

:15:53.:15:58.

George as well to have a Royal Ascot winner and hopefully it will

:15:58.:16:08.
:16:08.:16:10.

It's the best. First win I've ever had in Royal Ascot. Thank you very

:16:10.:16:16.

much. Let's look at the start of this

:16:16.:16:23.

mile and a quarter handicap. You will know this is a tricky one this

:16:23.:16:29.

mile and a quarter. The turn comes up soon afterwards. The winner is

:16:29.:16:35.

here, stall number eight. The second and fourth horses

:16:35.:16:44.

difficult draws. George Bakers takes the position.

:16:44.:16:52.

Zooms to the rail. He takes a pull of his horse. George Baker goes

:16:52.:16:56.

behind the field and gets a good position on his horse. You see the

:16:56.:17:01.

third horse comes in gradually, with Adam Kirby on there. That is

:17:01.:17:07.

our winner there. He's in daylight. Looks at the horse on his outside

:17:07.:17:12.

here. Here is. Green and white is Jamie Spencer. William Buick is

:17:12.:17:18.

trying to get his horse in behind others. He wants to get a nice

:17:18.:17:22.

little tuck behind another horse. Whoops - just there, a little bit

:17:22.:17:28.

quick. Now he gets in behind Spencer there and he gets the horse

:17:28.:17:35.

to drop his head and relax. But you can see the third horse with Neil

:17:35.:17:41.

Callan here, his horse... He pulled too hard. Going at it too hard. His

:17:41.:17:45.

head is high in the air. He will not drop his head and relax. He's

:17:45.:17:51.

gone like that for some time. So his chances, he's using up that

:17:51.:17:57.

energy, where William Buick, look his hands are down on its neck.

:17:57.:18:03.

This is what happens when you win - - ride winners. The confidence goes

:18:03.:18:11.

through and -- you and into the horse. Let's see the closing stages.

:18:11.:18:16.

The horses with the bad draw, they have gone to the back of the ground.

:18:16.:18:21.

If you go around the whole side of the ground you will be beat. They

:18:21.:18:27.

have to get the best position they can. The one problem we have,

:18:27.:18:32.

having saved the ground, you have to get around. Get into the

:18:32.:18:35.

straight. Two-and-a-half furlongs to go. Fan out. Give your horse

:18:35.:18:39.

daylight and go for it. You can see the winner there with Adam Kirby on

:18:39.:18:44.

the second, tracking him. He had a good tow from him all the way

:18:44.:18:49.

through. And almost Neil Callan, he was always in the right place, as

:18:49.:18:54.

you would say. His horse was always doing that, a little bit too much.

:18:54.:18:59.

He hasn't got a lot of energy left. Of course his horse has done well,

:18:59.:19:05.

run a great race. He has just got outstayed here by William Buick and

:19:05.:19:13.

add damn Kirby, who is finishing better -- and Adam Kirby, who is

:19:13.:19:20.

finishing better than anybody. Mijhaar, pulled too hard. Good run

:19:20.:19:28.

from him. A only one run this season.

:19:28.:19:31.

Impossible draw, basically, but ran a good race. All of those for next

:19:31.:19:37.

time. A solid race. Good form. Top handicappers in it. The winder

:19:37.:19:44.

could be better with that handicap. George Strawbridge. His first Royal

:19:44.:19:49.

Ascot winner. Receiving the trophy there from

:19:49.:19:55.

Barry Hills, who retired last August, after having trained 3,198

:19:55.:20:00.

winners. Really emotionally was leading trainer here at the Royal

:20:00.:20:05.

Meeting in 209, having been seriously ill. He won the

:20:05.:20:15.
:20:15.:20:21.

coronation. Gosh, he's had good Gatewood. And Mick Fitzgerald and I

:20:21.:20:25.

watching it with interest, it is interesting that William Buick,

:20:25.:20:29.

riding a treble today. You said when you are really hot as a jockey,

:20:29.:20:33.

is it easy to go back into that changing room? It's not. You don't

:20:33.:20:39.

know what to say, what to do. When you ride your first winner you

:20:39.:20:44.

celebrate, you want to show your emotion. On the third day, you see

:20:44.:20:48.

all the lads who have not riden winners and you are almost

:20:48.:20:51.

embarrassed. You know how it feels not to have a winner. You don't

:20:51.:20:56.

want to show them up a little bit. He'll be celebrating later. Trust

:20:56.:21:02.

me - Royal Ascot - there is no bigger stage for a flat jockey than

:21:02.:21:04.

here. William Buick continuing to impress on the global stage and

:21:05.:21:08.

particularly here at Royal Ascot this week. Let's look at the

:21:09.:21:18.
:21:19.:21:23.

fashions with Suzi. I am joined by Rachel Morgan. It is a windy day

:21:23.:21:28.

for hats? You hats for people, including the Queen, who wore your

:21:29.:21:33.

hats on Tuesday and Thursday. does that work from your point of

:21:33.:21:36.

view? Well, sometimes I know what the occasion is for and sometimes I

:21:36.:21:41.

don't. This year, we didn't know, I have made eight hats earlier in the

:21:41.:21:47.

year and we wait to see what comes out. We don't know until she comes

:21:47.:21:51.

out in the carriage what she will be wearing. When it comes to Royal

:21:51.:22:00.

Ascot do you get a sketch of the outfit? Yes. It is I will be sent a

:22:00.:22:06.

sketch and a swatch and work on a hat from there. We have seen some

:22:06.:22:10.

beautiful hats. Some beautiful vintage dresses. This kind of feel.

:22:10.:22:15.

It has been very popular. You are seeing lower crowns and sliced hats.

:22:15.:22:19.

That is a beautiful colour, isn't it? Some sunshine coming through in

:22:19.:22:24.

the day. She looks very glamorous. Very Hollywood. Do you think we are

:22:24.:22:29.

seeing bigger hats this year? Everybody is very conscious of that.

:22:29.:22:33.

I have noticed people coming in and wanting bigger hats. That is nice.

:22:33.:22:38.

They do different things for people. It is great. We don't have enough

:22:38.:22:40.

hat-wearing opportunities. It is a great excuse for everybody to come

:22:40.:22:46.

out in their best. It is. You can wear a cocktail dress to the bar -

:22:46.:22:52.

she looks very sweet. She does. super looking dress. We are getting

:22:52.:22:58.

a lot of sliced hats. Crowns are more shallow. A sleek look. When

:22:58.:23:02.

you say more shallow crowns that enables the face to be seen more?

:23:02.:23:08.

It does actually. That is very vintage-inspired,

:23:08.:23:15.

isn't it, on the left? That hot pink: It has never gone away. It

:23:15.:23:21.

works well here especially on a dull day. We all need cheering up.

:23:21.:23:29.

Black and white and an interesting shape hat.

:23:29.:23:34.

And very sweet little pill boxes is that flowers on there? It is a

:23:34.:23:39.

lovely look. Nice with just the tiny bits of netting through the --

:23:39.:23:43.

over the eyes. It is pretty. Do you know if the Queen will wear one of

:23:44.:23:47.

your hats tomorrow? I don't. I am in the dark as much as everybody

:23:47.:23:53.

else. We will have to wait and see and keep our fingers crossed.

:23:53.:23:57.

Speaking of the Queen, Her Majesty has made her way into the paddock,

:23:57.:24:02.

because she has a runner in the Queen's Vase. A filly called

:24:02.:24:07.

Estimate and Ryan Moore will be on board. This was trained by Sir

:24:07.:24:13.

Michael Stoute. We discussed hats and it's not just women who have

:24:13.:24:17.

fun with their head wear - it is men as well. Although you would not

:24:17.:24:24.

get into the Royal Enclosure wearing that. Wouldn't I get in?

:24:24.:24:31.

Not even riding my horse? Not even riding your horse. It was given to

:24:31.:24:38.

me by Fish For Hats. I wonder what to do with it - I thought we could

:24:38.:24:42.

auction it off or do something with it for my charity. If everybody you

:24:42.:24:48.

are invited to a fancy dress party you can wear it then, with pride, I

:24:48.:24:54.

suspect. I would imagine that some lady would love to come to Royal

:24:54.:24:58.

Ascot with this... Umbrella. The umbrella is fun. I have to say. The

:24:58.:25:03.

hat, perhaps not. It is for sale. You are not afraid to make a fool

:25:03.:25:08.

of yourself. That is a good thing on television. There you go.

:25:08.:25:14.

Tomorrow we expect to raise our hats to Black Caviar. She is the

:25:14.:25:22.

Australian filly everybody is talking about. In my lifetime,

:25:22.:25:28.

she's the best horse I have ever seen. If you took Frankel to

:25:28.:25:33.

Australia you would say the same thing. She's a champion there. They

:25:33.:25:39.

have to have the champion to win. Black Caviar - perfect. I have

:25:39.:25:42.

heard of her for a long time. It is great she's here. Hopefully she

:25:43.:25:48.

runs a good race for them and goes home safely. I hope she can do

:25:48.:25:56.

justice. Let's all see her. She's a great racehorse. Like Frankel, Sea

:25:56.:26:00.

The Stars, you see these horses and want to see them perform. I hope

:26:00.:26:08.

she can perform to her best after a long journey. We don't have

:26:08.:26:15.

sprinters that can compare with them. I can't see her getting beat.

:26:15.:26:21.

She's the banker. Black Caviar - the best in the world. This is

:26:21.:26:26.

unprecedented - the wonder mare. She won't get her own way here.

:26:26.:26:31.

There'll be a lot of lads trying to catch her up. She looks the real

:26:31.:26:37.

deal. What a champion she is. She's a

:26:37.:26:41.

wonderful mare. They will parade her to Europe. I will try and win,

:26:41.:26:46.

but if I can't, I hope she does. The chief executive of the British

:26:47.:26:50.

Horseracing Boarbroodd authority is a man who used to work for racing

:26:50.:26:56.

Victoria, so he is an Australian who has come over here. How big a

:26:56.:27:02.

deal is it Black Caviar coming here to Ascot? It presettlements a

:27:02.:27:08.

fantastic opportunity. -- presents a fantastic opportunity. It's a

:27:08.:27:11.

really brave decision and I think she'll show tomorrow that she is

:27:11.:27:15.

the best in the world. They will all be watching on big screens in

:27:16.:27:20.

Melbourne? They have set up Federation Square at 1.30am,

:27:20.:27:24.

there'll be tens of thousands of people out in the cold in Melbourne,

:27:24.:27:27.

watching on the big screens. She's really, I think over the last

:27:28.:27:33.

season or two, she has transformed or taken it beyond racing to

:27:33.:27:38.

profile the sport. I know one of the tasks you have is trying to get

:27:38.:27:41.

racing on to the front-pages and Black Caviar has been doing that.

:27:41.:27:47.

She has been on the front-pages of the papers already. These are this

:27:47.:27:52.

morning's papers - all featuring Black Caviar in strong headlines.

:27:52.:27:56.

That security scare story, I don't think there is a lot to that. It

:27:56.:28:00.

goes to prove the point that anything that happens with her, any

:28:00.:28:04.

steps she takes, the photographers are all over it. That is what you

:28:04.:28:09.

want to find. Actually it is heartening it is a horse, not a

:28:09.:28:13.

celebrity. Not to do with pop bands. It is a horse. When people launch

:28:13.:28:18.

on to a horse it makes a difference. Black Caviar has the advantage over

:28:18.:28:23.

Frankel in that she has been around four seasons now. In a similar way

:28:23.:28:27.

the public get behind the jump horses that come back season after

:28:27.:28:32.

season, with Black Caviar she is in her fourth racing season. She's had

:28:32.:28:38.

21 consecutive victories. At 10-11 victories she has not gone beyond

:28:38.:28:45.

racing I is the last half a dozen where she has gone to a broader

:28:45.:28:50.

public profile. I am trying to make them stay in training next year. It

:28:50.:28:55.

would be amazing if Frankel was around as a five-year-old. It would

:28:55.:29:03.

be amazing to see. The critical issue is the economic

:29:03.:29:07.

situation. On any measure British racing is healthy. Media coverage

:29:07.:29:11.

of the sport is world-class T quality and variety of the racing

:29:11.:29:16.

is the best in the world. So, the single criticalish shy is the

:29:16.:29:23.

funding. That's the -- -- critical issue is the funding. That is what

:29:24.:29:29.

we work on every day. After the week of racing you could find and

:29:29.:29:34.

the Queen in the paddock to see her runner, Estimate n this Queen's

:29:34.:29:40.

vase. We've had so many good story lines to. And hopefully one

:29:40.:29:43.

tomorrow with Black Caviar. It what it needs is for those colours to

:29:43.:29:48.

come home in front. It is not impossible that it could happen in

:29:48.:29:58.
:29:58.:30:07.

She's an interesting filly. She actually is a half sister to an

:30:07.:30:15.

Ascot Gold Cup winner. A really good family. She's had two starts

:30:15.:30:19.

so far and won her last. We'll see Hoy she gets on. We'll check the

:30:19.:30:24.

runners and riders now for the Queen's Vase. Over two miles and

:30:24.:30:34.
:30:34.:31:08.

Estimate is the only filly in the the Queen's Vase? The punters seem

:31:08.:31:18.
:31:18.:31:27.

Queen's horse. I think that's the influence of

:31:27.:31:29.

Willie Carson who basically said right at the beginning of the

:31:29.:31:35.

programme that Estimate has a huge chance here and she has been backed

:31:35.:31:40.

properly, properly backed? She's a lovely looking filly. Look how tall

:31:40.:31:45.

and slender she, is just what you want to stayer to look like. Long

:31:45.:31:52.

and slender, not carrying too much weight. And everything about her

:31:52.:31:55.

moves with fluency. And Michael Stoute, who's had a quiet week so

:31:55.:32:00.

far, apart from the good run of Carlton House, has a very good

:32:00.:32:04.

record in this race, won it three times since 1988, so knows the sort

:32:04.:32:10.

of horse required. She's a filly here and she's taking

:32:10.:32:17.

on the colts. The most amazing thing is, the two attendants are

:32:17.:32:23.

both girls. Amazing and progress! Let's have a

:32:23.:32:28.

look at Athens. Aid on Brian's had a grim day so far with both

:32:28.:32:31.

Astrology and Homecoming Queen, well beaten. They were well fancied,

:32:31.:32:36.

but this is a race that he targets with horses that he believes could

:32:36.:32:40.

stay further. They are always beautifully bred. He won with one

:32:41.:32:47.

horse in 2007 and another in 2010. And this horse, Athens, hasn't gone

:32:47.:32:52.

beyond a mile and a quarter, but neither had the winner two years

:32:52.:32:58.

ago. His pedigree suggests he'd struggle to get two miles. He's a

:32:58.:33:08.
:33:08.:33:14.

stamina. Maybe he's getting all the stamina from Dylan Thomas. This is

:33:14.:33:19.

Yazdi. Frankie's won this race twice in the past ten years. Let's

:33:19.:33:25.

here from Brian Meehan, the trainer, he's with Rishi now.

:33:25.:33:28.

I am with Brian Meehan, just pointing out that we are looking

:33:28.:33:30.

forward to Wimbledon which is obviously on the BBC coming up

:33:30.:33:35.

starting on Monday. You are a massive tennis fan? Yes, I love it.

:33:35.:33:38.

I wouldn't mind having a fortnight there like you do. You are more

:33:38.:33:43.

than welcome to take over. You would probably do a better job.

:33:43.:33:49.

at all! You have had a good week so far. Yazdi, very likely racehorse,

:33:49.:33:54.

big step up today. Do you feel that he's ready for it? Well, he's an

:33:54.:33:59.

improver, I did just say to Frankie that he could be a little green

:33:59.:34:03.

still, but no, I think he'll be fine, he's up for it. He'll command

:34:03.:34:09.

for the maiden win which he won by seven lengths. He was pretty

:34:10.:34:13.

impressive and it's the right thing for him today. Overall, what do you

:34:13.:34:17.

feel about the quality of this year's renewal of the Queen's Vase?

:34:17.:34:23.

Steady enough really. Two or three chances of which my horse is one,

:34:23.:34:26.

so I wouldn't want to comment on everybody else's horses. I mean,

:34:26.:34:31.

these races are so tough to win. Every race is like a champion race

:34:31.:34:38.

here, so it will be tough. Best of luck. Thank you.

:34:38.:34:48.
:34:48.:34:50.

So your favourite remains Estimate: �50,000 was put on Yazdi this

:34:50.:35:00.
:35:00.:35:05.

of the day, the hat trick man, William Buick. William, I was

:35:05.:35:08.

saying that coming into this year's Royal Ascot, you had ridden three

:35:08.:35:12.

winners in your career, now you get three in a day, it's extraordinary?

:35:12.:35:15.

Fantastic. I knew coming into this year's Royal Ascot that I had good

:35:15.:35:20.

rides, but you need to go and win them. It's a lot of luck that's

:35:20.:35:24.

involved. You need to be in the right place at the right time and

:35:24.:35:29.

the horse needs to be fine on the day. It's one of those days where

:35:29.:35:35.

everything's clicked. You also need skill?! No, you know, Newfangled

:35:35.:35:40.

was very good. Very good filly and, to be honest, it didn't go her way.

:35:40.:35:44.

We can have alike at that actually. We'll show you your treble so you

:35:44.:35:49.

can enjoy it. Out in front on Newfangled. The bit seemed to go

:35:49.:35:53.

through her mouth? She got away from me a little bit, did it the

:35:53.:35:56.

hard way, but very good filly and Fallen For You, very pleased with

:35:56.:36:01.

her. Would she be the best you have ever rode? No, very good but not

:36:01.:36:06.

the best. A filly, two-year-old? Two-year-old filly, yes, you are

:36:06.:36:11.

confusing me, Willie. He does that to me! She's the best two-year-old

:36:11.:36:17.

filly I've ridden, Newfangled is, yes. And you got there five strides

:36:17.:36:22.

before the line, a well-backed favourite and when you get a crowd,

:36:23.:36:28.

I'm sure they are shouting things to you as you are coming back?

:36:28.:36:31.

the creme-de-la-creme and everyone wants to ride winners here and I'm

:36:31.:36:34.

very fortunate to have a good stable behind me with good horses

:36:34.:36:37.

and I can go to these meetings in demand when you get good rides and

:36:37.:36:42.

you need to be focused and make sure you keep doing the right

:36:42.:36:46.

things. When you talk about luck and Willie reminding you, you do

:36:46.:36:50.

need to work hard and have talent and I think he's trying to give you

:36:50.:36:54.

credit there, but the luck of the week is that you weren't badly

:36:54.:36:59.

injured when the horse came down on Tuesday? I feel very sorry for the

:36:59.:37:02.

horse and the lad that looks after it at home and all that, it's

:37:02.:37:07.

horrible and he was a very promising horse. He was a lovely

:37:07.:37:13.

horse and it's just one of these unfortunate, unexplinable things,

:37:13.:37:18.

you know. -- unexplainable things. Luckily, I wasn't injured. A bit

:37:18.:37:22.

sore the day after but I was fine and you move on from those things,

:37:22.:37:26.

you know, you can't do nothing about it so you have to put it to

:37:26.:37:32.

the back 06 your mind and move on - - back of your mind and move on.

:37:32.:37:38.

How much would it mean to you to keep that arm band on?

:37:38.:37:45.

This time tomorrow do you want it on? Looks good on me, doesn't it

:37:45.:37:48.

It's suited?! It would mean the world to me, as it would to anybody

:37:48.:37:52.

else. You've had a brilliant week and fully deserved. Well done.

:37:52.:38:00.

Thank you Clare and Willie. Here is a horse, Minimise Risk,

:38:00.:38:04.

trained by Andrew Balding who ran in the Derby last time and that

:38:04.:38:09.

probably a bit out of his capabilities. A hugely Hansome

:38:09.:38:15.

horse and very well bred. He's got to do it, hasn't he? He's got to do

:38:15.:38:21.

it. He's one of those horses, he's very proud of himself. He knows

:38:21.:38:24.

he's handsome, doesn't he? Look at him, putting his head in the air

:38:24.:38:29.

and he's saying to everybody, look at me, aren't I handsome. But when

:38:29.:38:36.

it comes to racing, he thinks that he has the authority to get round

:38:36.:38:38.

the racecourse without putting too much effort in. That's the

:38:38.:38:43.

impression I get from this horse. Just a final word on William Buick,

:38:43.:38:49.

he was due to ride on this race in Spanish Wedding but that's a non-

:38:49.:38:53.

runner. And his intended horse in the next race is out again. His job

:38:53.:39:02.

for the day is over and he can go home and eny. Macbeth. Trained by

:39:02.:39:05.

Ken Condon and Johnny Murtagh taking the ride. This is a horse

:39:05.:39:09.

who would be suited by the ground and has plenty of stamina in terms

:39:09.:39:15.

of breeding. Hasn't got a lot of stamina on the stallion side.

:39:15.:39:21.

Beaten by a six furlong sprinter. He has Curragh and St Leger entries

:39:21.:39:28.

though. The Queen is taking her position in the Royal Box with

:39:28.:39:38.

Sheikh Mohammed and the Princess of Jordan. Interestingly, Sheikh

:39:38.:39:41.

Mohammed gave the Queen Carlton House as a yearling. This horse

:39:41.:39:46.

Estimate was given to her by the Aga Khan who bred her. Going

:39:46.:39:50.

forward there, that's Yazdi, we heard from Brian Meehan about his

:39:50.:39:55.

chances. Frankie Dettori on board. What do you like in the race, well,

:39:55.:39:58.

you liked Estimate, you told everybody about it this morning?

:39:58.:40:02.

This filly has to improve quite a lot to win this race. You are

:40:02.:40:07.

getting cold feet now? No, no, no, it's not that, but on figures on

:40:07.:40:11.

what she's done in the past that is, but she looks a beautiful staying-

:40:11.:40:19.

type filly. Doesn't look the strongest race? No. It would be

:40:19.:40:24.

nice for Perennial to win. Yes, Michael Hills riding for his

:40:24.:40:29.

brother Charlie. Not too much longer. Could we see a winner for

:40:29.:40:33.

the Queen? It's not impossible, as Athens goes forward and Minimise

:40:33.:40:39.

Risk, one of the last. That's the one to beat, Athens. Let's join Jim.

:40:39.:40:49.
:40:49.:40:51.

So last one going in, Michael Hills there. They are off and running in

:40:51.:41:01.
:41:01.:41:02.

the Queen's Vase. Perennial eased in in the early stages and Yazdi's

:41:02.:41:09.

a little wide. Perennial on the inside rail there from Flying

:41:09.:41:12.

Trader. Estimate on the inside three deep off the rail. Further

:41:12.:41:18.

back in the field is Flying Trader. Now just ahead of Athens and then

:41:18.:41:23.

Somemothersdohavem. Out the back is Ed De Gas. A circuit to go now. And

:41:23.:41:33.
:41:33.:41:44.

the leader on the inside is Singalat. Pink cap, Perennial.

:41:44.:41:49.

Athens. Followed by Flying Trader out the back.

:41:49.:41:51.

Followed by Ed De Gas and Somemothersdohavem.

:41:51.:41:54.

Somemothersdohavem shuffled back to last. A mile and a half lest left

:41:54.:41:58.

to travel in the Queen's Vase as they race down past the King George

:41:58.:42:06.

start and the leader is Singalat. Yazdi on the outside. Macbeth's

:42:07.:42:12.

trapped a little while. One length further back. Minimise Risk.

:42:12.:42:16.

Followed on the inside next by Perennial and then Athens and

:42:16.:42:21.

further back on the field on the inside, Flying Trader from gas

:42:21.:42:24.

Bourgass. Somemothersdohavem out the back. All the time running

:42:24.:42:28.

downhill towards the mile in the Queen's Vase and Singalat on the

:42:28.:42:33.

inside shows the way. Half a length to up on the outside Yazdi. Macbeth.

:42:33.:42:39.

The pace has been fairly good. A length away on the inside, Minimise

:42:39.:42:43.

Risk from Estimate. Perennial travelling on the inside

:42:43.:42:48.

there as they race into Swindley Bottom. Followed by Athens and

:42:48.:42:51.

Flying Trader and Ed De Gas and Somemothersdohavem-Starting this

:42:51.:42:54.

really stiff uphill climb now towards home. Uphill all the way

:42:55.:43:02.

from here and it's Singalat out in front by a length to Ed De Gas.

:43:02.:43:07.

Macbeth. A length further back, Minimise Risk. Estimate is very

:43:07.:43:10.

handy. Three away on the inside is

:43:10.:43:16.

Perennial, followed by Athens. Still climbing. Heading up past the

:43:16.:43:22.

five. They're followed by Ed De Gas. Then further back, Flying Trader

:43:22.:43:26.

from Somemothersdohavem. Racing to the half mile and Singalat on the

:43:26.:43:31.

inside just the leader. From Yazdi and then Macbeth. No runs yet. Now

:43:31.:43:36.

he's starting to niggle on, Estimate, on the inside. Minimise

:43:36.:43:40.

Risk and then Perennial on the rails. A length further back is Ed

:43:40.:43:45.

De Gas on the outside. Athens, then a long gap to Somemothersdohavem.

:43:45.:43:50.

On the turn for home in the Queen's Vase. In the centre, Yazdi grabs

:43:50.:43:55.

the lead, tackled by Macbeth. Here is Estimate on theout side.

:43:55.:43:58.

Minimise Risk nowhere to go. Perennial on the rail. Inside the

:43:58.:44:04.

two now, Estimate's gone for home. The Queen's filly is in the lead

:44:04.:44:08.

from Athens. Ed De Gas. Further back it's Macbeth. Estimate at the

:44:08.:44:12.

furlong, sprinted three lengths in front. Athens is sticking to the

:44:12.:44:16.

task, followed by Ed De Gas. Estimate is roaring away and we

:44:16.:44:24.

have a Royal winner! Estimate goes up to the line, to win it by five

:44:24.:44:30.

lengths. A big win in the Queen's Vase. Followed by Bourgass gas.

:44:30.:44:35.

Followed by Macbeth and Minimise Risk. Followed by Perennial and

:44:35.:44:38.

Yazdi. Singalat and Somemothersdohavem. Flying Trader

:44:38.:44:45.

is the last to finish. A really good staying performance by this

:44:45.:44:55.
:44:55.:44:55.

filly, Estimate. And Her Majesty has a winner at the Royal meeting

:44:55.:45:05.
:45:05.:45:09.

and is congratulated by her guests which include Sheikh Mohammed and

:45:09.:45:18.

Princess -- and the Princess from Jordan.

:45:18.:45:25.

Estimate goes to the line to win it so well. A really good staying

:45:25.:45:29.

performance. Athens second. Bourgass gas in third. Came from

:45:29.:45:39.
:45:39.:45:42.

well back. In fourth, Macbeth. In good run on the rail. Yazdi was

:45:42.:45:48.

further back. Then a long gap to Singalat. They

:45:48.:45:55.

were followed by Somemothersdohavem. As you can see, they were well

:45:56.:46:00.

swung out, Flying Trader, towards the back of the field. Five lengths

:46:00.:46:04.

officially. A length-and-a-half between second and third.

:46:05.:46:12.

Estimate, the 3-1 favourite has won here for Her Majesty, the Queen,

:46:12.:46:18.

for Sir Michael Stoute and for Ryan Moore. 11-2, the second. He mae may

:46:18.:46:25.

have picked up the third. That is her mag City the Queen's

:46:25.:46:34.

21st Royal Ascot winner. There -- Her Majesty, the Queen's

:46:34.:46:39.

21st Royal Ascot winner. This filly, bred with so much stamina in her

:46:39.:46:43.

pedigree was going to stay every yard of this trip. Ryan Moore

:46:43.:46:49.

thought, I'm going for home. Athens gives chase, but can make no

:46:49.:46:54.

impression, as the filly stretches clear here. The impressive winner

:46:54.:47:00.

of the Queen's Vase. Only one more thing needed to

:47:00.:47:05.

happen to make this the perfect Royal Ascot and that was a winner

:47:05.:47:14.

for the Queen and it has happened. A lot of stamina. Sheik Mohammed

:47:14.:47:19.

alongside the queen now. Both having a win ther week. And the

:47:19.:47:24.

princess, who has had two. They know, because they've had horses so

:47:24.:47:28.

long, you cannot predict anything. You cannot write the script. Get

:47:28.:47:33.

them in the right races and you're home. It is nice for Sir Michael to

:47:33.:47:37.

have a winner at Royal Ascot as well. You can hear the cheer. This

:47:37.:47:44.

is the cheer for Her Majesty's filly, Estimate, after winning the

:47:44.:47:51.

Queen's Vase. It is coming into the winner's enclosure. The Queen is

:47:51.:47:57.

making her way down. Ryan Moore dismounts. Sir Michael Stoute has

:47:58.:48:01.

sprinted down and is there to greet the filly.

:48:01.:48:08.

Will we get a smile from Ryan? That is a smile of distinct

:48:08.:48:16.

satisfaction. There is the Queen. Her racing adviser alongside her.

:48:16.:48:20.

As the people bepeace process gin to see her around the paddock, here

:48:20.:48:30.
:48:30.:48:32.

you go... APPLAUSE

:48:32.:48:36.

What a magnificent triumph of in her Diamond Jubilee year, to have a

:48:36.:48:46.
:48:46.:48:46.

winner at the Royal Meeting. This filly, Estimate was bred by

:48:46.:48:56.
:48:56.:49:03.

the Aga Khan, from a top stpamly. winning a Gold Cup. A great staying

:49:03.:49:13.
:49:13.:49:14.

performance. Her Majesty listening to Ryan Moore,

:49:14.:49:19.

what he has to say and what Sir Michael Stoute the trainer, his

:49:19.:49:24.

interpretation. John Warren, her racing adviser

:49:25.:49:34.

there, in the top hat. This is a magic moment.

:49:34.:49:42.

We saw last time she had a winner here just the absolute delight.

:49:42.:49:50.

That is when Free Agent crossed the line. Today, she has witnessed a

:49:50.:50:00.

very, very fine staying performance from a quality filly.

:50:00.:50:08.

By Monson. And this filly should keep going and going on to more

:50:09.:50:12.

staying. That's for sure. She's got so much scope in the staying

:50:12.:50:22.
:50:22.:50:23.

department. Proud, really appreciative.

:50:23.:50:31.

What this means to a genuine horse lover, genuine racing fan. That's

:50:31.:50:35.

the Royal Box that overlooks the paddock. It is behind this

:50:35.:50:39.

magnificent stand here at Ascot. That is where the Queen, well you

:50:39.:50:45.

saw her before, coming out to see them for an earlier race in the

:50:45.:50:55.
:50:55.:50:56.

paddock. Here is the post-race picture. The Queen, like all proud

:50:56.:51:06.
:51:06.:51:16.

owners, loves to be photographed because his Royal Highness, the

:51:16.:51:19.

Duke of Edinburgh was on the card to make the presentation for the

:51:19.:51:24.

Queen's Vase. We thought it might be possible, but it is always a

:51:25.:51:30.

long shot, that he would present it to Her Majesty, the Queen. It's a

:51:31.:51:37.

pretty unusual occurrence. Very unusual indeed.

:51:37.:51:41.

This is when the Queen should have been saying, now I have this nice

:51:41.:51:47.

filly, you have just seen here, could you give me a nomination to a

:51:47.:51:52.

new approach, please. That would be the right time. Let's hear from the

:51:52.:51:56.

winning trainer, Sir Michael Stoute. Sir Michael, congratulations. Can

:51:56.:52:03.

you tell us what an honour or how this sits with you, this success...

:52:03.:52:09.

We hoped to do it with Chalton House. We've done it here and the

:52:09.:52:13.

whole country would have appreciated this victory for Her

:52:13.:52:23.
:52:23.:52:26.

Majesty. A word about the filly and her experience? She's from the Aga

:52:26.:52:35.

Khan family. I -- she has improved in her work of late. Come in nicely.

:52:36.:52:45.
:52:46.:52:49.

An extremely delighted owner as because the Queen and the Duke of

:52:49.:52:53.

Edinburgh have been married 64 years and in that long time, this

:52:53.:52:57.

is the first time that this has ever happened, the Duke of

:52:57.:53:03.

Edinburgh making the presentation of the Queen's vase, to Her Majesty,

:53:03.:53:11.

the Queen. Her 21st Royal Ascot winner and her first since 2008, as

:53:11.:53:20.

D Sir Michael Stoute, the winning trainer comes forward to be

:53:20.:53:24.

congratulated by the Duke of Edinburgh. There is quite a lot of

:53:24.:53:28.

laughter in the crowd when they heard presenting this trophy will

:53:28.:53:36.

be the Duke of Edinburgh. They didn't realise until then. A huge

:53:36.:53:41.

roar of appreciation for Ryan Moore. He was backed in 3-1 favourite for

:53:41.:53:47.

the Queen's Vase. They will appreciate that. The rest of the

:53:47.:53:51.

royal party, princess and Prince Michael of Kent, looking down on

:53:51.:53:56.

this scene. That is a photograph that will be treasured by all four

:53:56.:54:01.

of them, it has to be said. Of course. Especially the jockey

:54:01.:54:06.

and Sir Michael Stoute. He will be and Sir Michael Stoute. He will be

:54:06.:54:11.

very proud that he's trained a winner here at Royal Ascot in the

:54:11.:54:16.

Diamond Jubilee year. Absolutely marvellous for this to happen, not

:54:16.:54:23.

just for Her Majesty, but for the whole country who are royalists.

:54:23.:54:29.

The queen's first Royal Ascot winner back in 1953 with Choir Boy,

:54:29.:54:35.

now her 21st, courtesy of Estimate. A year in which 60 years of her

:54:35.:54:39.

reign and her racing interest, celebrated here at Royal Ascot,

:54:39.:54:42.

that is why the budgeting is out. There is a photographic exhibition

:54:42.:54:46.

as well. I suspect a new photo will be added to that exhibition and it

:54:46.:54:53.

will be there tomorrow. We will leave you with this huge

:54:53.:54:57.
