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. |
