You dream of it as a kid. All you can concentrate on is the clock.

:00:19.:00:27.

The countdown. Have I dreamed this dream before? Did I just imagine

:00:27.:00:37.
:00:37.:00:39.

this place? Shadows of past greats begin, memories of glory days echo

:00:39.:00:48.

around these halls. Just how will I make my mark? For 300 years we have

:00:49.:00:58.
:00:59.:00:59.

descended upon this holy ground. This heartland of racing and

:00:59.:01:05.

majesty. This place doesn't shout allowed to you -- aloud to you. It

:01:05.:01:13.

whispers with grace. Wheupb I journey to -- when I

:01:13.:01:18.

journey will the line will I be able to block out the screaming

:01:18.:01:28.
:01:28.:01:29.

crowd, to get the millions at stake? Make no mistake, there is

:01:29.:01:38.

nowhere on earth quite like this place. This meeting of dreams, this

:01:38.:01:46.

Royal Ascot. This is not just a sporting event, it's a culture.

:01:46.:01:56.
:01:56.:01:58.

Will this be another big win? spectacular Frankel. And we have a

:01:58.:02:08.
:02:08.:02:11.

It could be argued that already we have had the best Royal Ascot in

:02:11.:02:15.

living memory. It's had absolutely everything. Just a few moments ago

:02:15.:02:19.

the Royal Procession made its made down through the golden gates and

:02:19.:02:23.

in the lead carriage has been all week in her Diamond Jubilee year,

:02:23.:02:27.

Her Majesty the Queen, alongside his Royal Highness the Duke of

:02:27.:02:30.

Edinburgh, deep in conversation with John Warren and with Toby

:02:30.:02:34.

Balding, a trainer of two Grand National winners, Gold Cup winner,

:02:34.:02:37.

champion hurdle winner as well, his first time in the Royal Procession.

:02:37.:02:41.

A huge honour and surprise for him to be in the lead carriage. The

:02:41.:02:50.

Windsor greys leading the way. And the grandstand absolutely

:02:50.:02:55.

packed. The crowd boosted this year by approximately 5,000 Australian

:02:55.:02:58.

race-goers, some of whom have travelled over from Australia,

:02:58.:03:04.

others based here in the UK. They have come to see their superstar,

:03:04.:03:09.

Black Caviar. She could round off this week in send sensation tal --

:03:09.:03:13.

send takesal tile -- sensational style. The Royal Procession, a

:03:13.:03:18.

sight that you will not see at any other sporting event. It kicks off

:03:19.:03:24.

a high-class day of racing. As the Royal Procession happened,

:03:24.:03:27.

the weather was absolutely fine. Almost as soon as the Queen

:03:27.:03:30.

disappeared into the grandstand to make her way to the Royal Box, we

:03:30.:03:35.

had a cloud burst, heavy rain. The wind has picked up, that wind seems

:03:35.:03:38.

to have blown that shower of rain through. A lot of people have been

:03:38.:03:41.

suffering badly from overnight flooding around the country and

:03:41.:03:44.

luckily, here at Ascot, they've avoided the worst of the rain

:03:44.:03:48.

because in many ways that is the one thing that could have damaged

:03:48.:03:53.

the chances of Black Caviar today. If we have had torrential rain. All

:03:53.:03:58.

eyes on her and all supporters from Australia, and most supporters from

:03:58.:04:01.

Europe hoping that she can cement her position as the outstanding

:04:01.:04:05.

sprinter in the world and arguably the fastest racehorse anyone has

:04:05.:04:09.

ever seen. Her colours there of salmon and black spots carried on

:04:09.:04:14.

banners around the course and indeed being echoed and reflected

:04:14.:04:18.

on ties of Black Caviar supporters. Here the man on whom the pressure

:04:18.:04:22.

lays, Luke Nolan who will ride Black Caviar. He has won on her 18

:04:22.:04:27.

times of her 21 wins, introducing himself to Johnny Murtagh who will

:04:27.:04:31.

always be supportive. He walked the course a few times. And had a chat

:04:31.:04:41.
:04:41.:04:42.

with the clerk of the course. this is 8.3, centre is 8.7. Tending

:04:42.:04:51.

to suggest the centre is slightly quicker. You know,... It walks...

:04:51.:04:55.

think it walks even. You are in the middle, same as before. You have

:04:55.:05:02.

been drawn 15. Somewhere here. That's the man we will all be

:05:02.:05:04.

watching. Myself and Willie Carson bidding you good afternoon and

:05:04.:05:09.

welcome to coverage on BBC1 of the final day of Royal Ascot, 2012. The

:05:09.:05:14.

big question, can anything beat Black Caviar? No. Not really. I

:05:14.:05:20.

don't think so. She can beat herself in a way, because she is an

:05:20.:05:26.

animal, very big, strong, very fast. She's put up fantastic times in

:05:26.:05:30.

Australia, nothing's ever got close to her. She wins every race by

:05:30.:05:36.

clear distance every time. She's run on possibly, not quite as soft

:05:36.:05:41.

a ground as she could have, if this rain keeps coming here, and Ascot

:05:41.:05:46.

is a stiff racecourse but still you would have to think that she is

:05:46.:05:49.

unbeatable. And I know thousands of people in Australia are staying up

:05:49.:05:56.

late to watch this, many gathering in Melbourne to watch the big

:05:56.:06:02.

screen. She runs at 3.4 4.00pm our time, quart tore one in the morning

:06:02.:06:05.

morning Melbourne time. They will all be hoping that she can do what

:06:05.:06:12.

she as done in all her races in Australia, but like - she has to

:06:12.:06:14.

travel overseas to prove to the rest of the world and take this

:06:14.:06:17.

sport to another level, which I think she has done just by being

:06:17.:06:26.

here, but it's a sensational day we What a week this has been. Starting

:06:26.:06:31.

with the fabulous, phenomenonal Frankel and his 11-length win in

:06:31.:06:35.

the Queen Anne. Frankie was back on flying form, winning the Gold Cup.

:06:35.:06:39.

The Queen had a Royal winner, her 21st as Estimate took the Queen's

:06:39.:06:43.

Vase. During today we will be looking back at 61 years of BBC

:06:43.:06:51.

television coverage of the Royal meeting as the BBC bows out.

:06:51.:06:57.

In terms of fashion, it has been fabulous. Suzi Perry is in charge

:06:57.:06:59.

for a final look at what everyone has been wearing and will be

:06:59.:07:05.

talking to a celebrity chef. But the special on the menu today

:07:05.:07:09.

is Black Caviar, the wonder from down under, Black Caviar unbeaten

:07:10.:07:15.

in 21 starts is hot favourite for the Diamond Jubilee.

:07:15.:07:21.

Four races for you live on BBC1 and then two on BBC interactive, not on

:07:21.:07:31.
:07:31.:08:04.

Freeview, I am afraid. The Chesham Let's move on swiftly because the

:08:04.:08:08.

runners have left the paddock for our firs race, the Chesham. Let's

:08:08.:08:18.
:08:18.:08:18.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:08:18.:09:02.

Stakes, a listed contest over seven furlongs and the runners are

:09:02.:09:07.

arriving at the post. Here with the betting is John Parrott. Thank you,

:09:07.:09:17.
:09:17.:09:23.

it's moved to -- Move To Strike the Back to 9-4. Back out to 5-2. But

:09:23.:09:27.

it's Move To Strike clinging to favouritism at 2-1. This is the

:09:28.:09:31.

race, the Chesham, that provided the Queen's last Royal Ascot winner

:09:31.:09:35.

in 2008. Until Estimate took the Queen's Vase yesterday, which was a

:09:35.:09:39.

wonderful moment. We could see the first win this week for your old

:09:39.:09:44.

boss, Willie. They love this colt. Of course, this jockey, champion

:09:44.:09:48.

jockey, Paul Hanagan, hasn't had a winner here at Royal Ascot, either.

:09:48.:09:52.

It would be nice for this horse to win because we have had most other

:09:52.:09:57.

things happen at Royal Ascot this week. But this horse who won very

:09:57.:10:03.

convincingly at Leicester, he is a big horse. He is by Street Cry, he

:10:03.:10:09.

is a lovely big type. A horse that will go on and we hope that he will

:10:09.:10:13.

be a Guineas horse for next year. But Richard Hannon hasn't had a

:10:13.:10:23.
:10:23.:10:25.

winner this week. This possibly one of his last chances of doing so.

:10:25.:10:28.

He's got to draw of six, which is on the stands side. I would think

:10:28.:10:31.

the stands side is going to be a little bit quicker than the far

:10:31.:10:34.

side. It's had less use than the far side and I think he is drawn in

:10:34.:10:36.

the right place here. Richard Hannon trains that one, who has won

:10:36.:10:40.

this twice in the last four years. Jim Bolger has already had an

:10:40.:10:50.
:10:50.:10:51.

exciting two-year-old colt win this week. He has Move To Strike.

:10:51.:10:55.

Irish really like this horse. He gave a very good impression when he

:10:55.:11:05.
:11:05.:11:10.

won at Leopardstown. Mr Bolger, as we all know, brings his horses here

:11:10.:11:14.

and if you leave them out in your calculations, that's at your own

:11:14.:11:17.

peril, because he always brings horses over here that always run a

:11:17.:11:27.

big race. Dawn Approach was by Approach -- New Approach, also sire

:11:27.:11:32.

of Tha'ir. The Godolphin horses do seem to be coming back to some kind

:11:32.:11:36.

of form. This horse started off modestly, started off at Ripon and

:11:36.:11:41.

did that well. But he is up against real good sorts here today.

:11:41.:11:46.

Obviously, the Godolphin have got a lot of well bred horses at home, so

:11:46.:11:49.

he must be one of the better ones that they have. Indeed. They've

:11:49.:11:57.

another runner as well, Lovely Pass who is also quietly fancied. The

:11:57.:12:02.

Sixties being pushed forward there. Mick Channons had had a few

:12:02.:12:06.

disappointments this week. Lovely to see him in the winners'

:12:06.:12:12.

enclosure as well. The Sixties is a stallion, stands at a stud Mick is

:12:12.:12:19.

very much involved with. That's a fantastic way of having a nibble of

:12:19.:12:24.

grass! Down there to accompany Frege, Kieron Fallon riding.

:12:24.:12:31.

Sixties has five runners in this race. All of them have won a race.

:12:31.:12:36.

He is doing well. Come on, you are going to fall over! That's a good

:12:36.:12:40.

trick. We are meant to be looking at the racehorses and Jalaa will be

:12:40.:12:48.

one of the last few to go forward. Zanetto there with a sheepskin

:12:48.:12:52.

noseband going forward. The last few going forward for the

:12:52.:12:55.

first race. There is Frankie Dettori, what a moment for him on

:12:55.:13:01.

Thursday winning the Gold Cup. He is riding high at the moment. He is

:13:01.:13:06.

in the Royal blue of Godolphin for our first race on the final day of

:13:06.:13:16.
:13:16.:13:17.

Royal Ascot 2012. Going forward now Lovely Pass. They run over seven

:13:17.:13:23.

furlongs. Up the straight, a field of 14 two-year-olds for the Chesham.

:13:23.:13:27.

Stand by, that's it. Ready, they're racing!

:13:27.:13:31.

And away to a fair start on the near side Hillbilly Boy, one of the

:13:31.:13:35.

first away. Zanetto is Thrupp in the early stages. Fighting too is

:13:35.:13:41.

Move To Strike. Now gets a bit of cover in behind horses. The Sixties

:13:41.:13:44.

goes on. The Sixties the early leader, from up in second place on

:13:44.:13:48.

the near side Frege, just behind them Zanetto, fighting for his head

:13:48.:13:52.

on the near side, followed further back by Cruck Realta with yellow

:13:52.:13:59.

cap. They're followed by Jalaa. On the near side Pasaka Boy Pasaka Boy,

:13:59.:14:02.

followed further back by Lovely Pass, who is very wide with a white

:14:02.:14:06.

cap. Behind horses is Move To Strike, Hillbilly Boy on the near

:14:06.:14:11.

side. Being tracked all the while by Downright Dizzie. Move To Strike

:14:11.:14:15.

has dropped right back to about six or seven lengths off the pace. They

:14:15.:14:20.

race now towards the course proper. The leader is The Sixties, from in

:14:20.:14:24.

second Frege, followed in third by Cruck Realta. Behind them being

:14:24.:14:30.

pulled on for an effort now is at this stage Chilworth Icon. Coming

:14:30.:14:34.

into it too is Lovely Pass under pressure. Move To Strike is running

:14:34.:14:38.

on pourfully. They run up with a furlong and a half. On the far side

:14:38.:14:41.

Lovely Pass takes it up, from in the centre Cruck Realta. In the

:14:41.:14:46.

centre coming there Tha'ir. Tha'ir for Godolphin. The first set of the

:14:46.:14:50.

Godolphin Royal blue sprints into the lead now. It's Tha'ir, Frankie

:14:50.:14:54.

Dettori lengthening well and coming away. Tha'ir goes on to win the

:14:54.:14:58.

Chesham in grand style. Cruck Realta in second. Third is Lovely

:14:58.:15:02.

Pass. A gap then and behind them is Move To Strike, followed next in

:15:02.:15:07.

the field then by The Sixties, well back is Frege, Jalaa not sighted.

:15:07.:15:13.

They were followed then by Pasaka Boy, well back in the field. Effie

:15:13.:15:17.

B the last to finish. Tha'ir, another winner for Godolphin.

:15:18.:15:23.

A memorable week for them. They won the Gold Cup and a 9-2 winner of

:15:23.:15:33.
:15:33.:16:01.

fourth, Move To Strike could not side, followed by Downright Dizzie.

:16:01.:16:07.

St Paul De Vence could not get into it. At the tail of the field was

:16:07.:16:15.

Effie B. The winner of the Chesham Stakes is Tha'ir, ridden by Frankie

:16:15.:16:22.

Dettori, the third winner at this royal meeting for the first season

:16:23.:16:32.
:16:33.:16:35.

stallion New Approach. Let's check the distances. 2.25 lengths and a

:16:36.:16:45.

neck. But this win it, Tha'ir, won very well at Ripon recently, having

:16:45.:16:50.

been the lesser fancied of a couple of runners they had in the race,

:16:50.:16:59.

came home well clear on that occasion. And the horse that he

:16:59.:17:09.
:17:09.:17:10.

beat that night went on to win this week. Side been so raw, a happy man.

:17:10.:17:17.

-- Saeed Bin Suroor. And Frankie Dettori, first win of the day.

:17:17.:17:21.

CLARE BALDING: Frankie is a man for the big occasion. The big crowd

:17:21.:17:26.

seems to bring out the best in him. He had gone through weeks without a

:17:26.:17:30.

winner anywhere until he came back to win the Gold Cup on Colour

:17:30.:17:35.

Vision. But that was a very decisive win on Tha'ir. The team

:17:35.:17:44.

will be very decisive -- excited about this horse for next year. It

:17:44.:17:49.

gives them hope through the winter, looking ahead to the big races next

:17:49.:17:55.

year. And the breeding world is buzzing about the stallion New

:17:55.:18:02.

Approach. WILLIE CARSON: And of course, New

:18:02.:18:07.

Approach is by Galileo, the best stallion we had in many, many years.

:18:07.:18:14.

Obviously, the stable did not see too much of him at home. Frankie

:18:14.:18:20.

went very fast up front. He did not go that fast, because there was a

:18:20.:18:26.

lot of horses pulling early. This horse, he obviously settles very

:18:26.:18:36.

easily. Of course, New Approach, he won the Derby. And this horse

:18:36.:18:42.

possibly will only get to a mile. At this stage in his career, you

:18:42.:18:45.

would have to say, he would only be a miler, unless he proves

:18:45.:18:49.

differently. But a very happy jockey, he always gives plenty of

:18:49.:18:55.

people a lot of pleasure in how he behaves after he wins. He is very

:18:55.:19:05.
:19:05.:19:09.

good at that. A big smile on his face. Yes! I told you so! Frankie

:19:09.:19:15.

Dettori, of all of the jockeys with a licence at the present time, is

:19:15.:19:19.

top of the list. Lester Piggott way out in front in terms of overall

:19:19.:19:26.

statistics. But Frankie, the man of the afternoon so far. You will get

:19:26.:19:36.
:19:36.:19:49.

a flying dismount as well, because one of the day.

:19:49.:19:53.

JIM MCGRATH: It is often underestimated just what a talented

:19:53.:19:57.

jockey he is, because he is such a flamboyant personality, such a

:19:57.:20:02.

visible face of racing. He does such a great PR job for the entire

:20:02.:20:12.

sport. Sheikh Mohammed not here in the winning party. He will be tuned

:20:12.:20:19.

in to that result, no doubt. Frankie, looking for the scales so

:20:19.:20:25.

that he can step on, and he will be looking to make 9 stone 3lb, which

:20:25.:20:32.

he should be able to do without any bother whatsoever. I was just

:20:32.:20:37.

saying, it is often underestimated just how brilliant a rider, a

:20:37.:20:44.

sportsman, he is. Such balance, such style on a horse. He is an

:20:44.:20:52.

extremely talented jockey. I think many people just starting to

:20:52.:20:57.

appreciate that we do need him in the game, and it is great to see

:20:57.:21:02.

him back in the winner's area. Here's Brit Prasad in the winner's

:21:02.:21:09.

area. I am joined by the Godolphin racing manager. It has been an

:21:09.:21:17.

excellent week. Fantastic. Brilliant first season stallion New

:21:18.:21:22.

Approach as well. All three have turned up, and all three have

:21:22.:21:29.

delivered. Really excited for the team. We came here hoping we would

:21:29.:21:34.

do well, but we were really pleased about this one. Frankie, a great

:21:34.:21:43.

way to start the day. Yes. The further he went, the better he was.

:21:43.:21:47.

New Approach, he has had a fantastic week. Nice little two-

:21:47.:21:50.

year-old for the future. The way he stuck his head down, that was a

:21:50.:21:57.

good sign. Yes, he is on the small side, but he has got a good engine,

:21:57.:22:02.

a brilliant attitude. I was very impressed. What about Italy against

:22:02.:22:10.

England? It's the colour! Come on, Azzurri! I'm not sure about that.

:22:10.:22:16.

Simon, what will be the plan for Tha'ir? Maybe he will go to

:22:16.:22:24.

Goodwood, we will see. Well done. Thank you very much. Let's have a

:22:24.:22:29.

look at the start and finish of this Chesham Stakes. If you want to

:22:29.:22:37.

watch the two major contenders, there is the winner, from stall 7.

:22:37.:22:47.
:22:47.:22:48.

Not a great start for Sylvester D'Souza's horse. Sylvester

:22:48.:22:53.

D'Souza's horse was a bit slowly away. Yes, there was a bit of a

:22:53.:22:58.

knock-on effect. I had a quick word with Martin Harley. And we saw it

:22:58.:23:03.

only around, it was not an ideal start. Right in the centre, in the

:23:04.:23:10.

white jacket, the horse chucking its head around. He has really

:23:10.:23:13.

fought Kevin Manning in the early part of the race. He has, and he

:23:13.:23:17.

has not done himself any favours. But Kevin Manning said, no excuses,

:23:17.:23:23.

to be honest. That was the early part of the race. Now, let's have a

:23:23.:23:28.

look at the closing stages. The winner is just making its challenge

:23:28.:23:38.
:23:38.:23:39.

year. Sylvester D'Souza has got this filly into a fair position.

:23:39.:23:44.

Surely, having used up so much energy trying to go fast at the

:23:44.:23:49.

beginning of the race, it must have had an effect. No doubt about it.

:23:49.:23:53.

The other jockeys have also said, they did not go that quick early on.

:23:53.:23:58.

This was the time you wanted your energy to be used, and Frankie's

:23:58.:24:03.

horse was impressive. He really was striding out well in the closing

:24:03.:24:06.

stages. This was not exactly the same distance as the Diamond

:24:06.:24:10.

Jubilee later one, but what do you think about the draw, particularly

:24:10.:24:14.

with Black Caviar in mind, because she will be in 15, on the right of

:24:14.:24:20.

that picture. It was interesting, the way they all seem -- seemed to

:24:20.:24:24.

congregate in the middle of the track. Well, we will see later on.

:24:24.:24:28.

But that's the first race over and done with, a good win for the

:24:28.:24:31.

Godolphin horse. Looks like one to follow.

:24:31.:24:41.
:24:41.:24:47.

JOHN PARROTT: Yes, so, the winner of the Chesham Stakes, Tha'ir.

:24:47.:24:50.

And the presentation for the Chesham Stakes being made by the

:24:50.:24:55.

Chesham Stakes being made by the comedian Michael McIntyre. Sheikh

:24:55.:24:58.

Mohammed and Princess Haya not here today, they are watching at home on

:24:58.:25:08.
:25:08.:25:18.

television. Great to see Michael Macintyre here. We can look again

:25:18.:25:22.

at the low finishing drive of Frankie Dettori, and also this

:25:22.:25:27.

horse, whose running style is basically to go no to the ground.

:25:27.:25:32.

Saeed Bin Suroor, a fantastic boost for him this week. They encourage

:25:32.:25:36.

competition between their trainers inside the team, and between the

:25:36.:25:40.

jockeys as well. And Frankie has had a fair bit of pressure on him

:25:40.:25:45.

this year, and it is just great to see him doing the flying dismounts

:25:45.:25:50.

and celebrating success. And he is just usually important to the

:25:50.:25:56.

British racing game. So, a great start to a great afternoon, which

:25:56.:25:59.

we hope will culminate with victory for Black Caviar. We will be

:25:59.:26:05.

talking about her plenty before the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. But let's

:26:05.:26:09.

say good afternoon for the first time today to Suzi Perry. Yes, we

:26:09.:26:15.

have seen some beautiful fashions here this week. Joining me, Jane,

:26:15.:26:21.

milliner to the stars. What is on trend regarding the hats? We have

:26:21.:26:27.

got quite a lot of discs this year. With modern hairstyles, it is

:26:27.:26:32.

really easy, you can put your long hair over the top. Also quite a lot

:26:32.:26:36.

of classic styles, sweeping across the face, and lots of little

:26:36.:26:41.

cocktail hats. That's now that the dress code has changed. Like the

:26:41.:26:46.

hat that you're wearing today. Lots of flowers as well. Thank you very

:26:46.:26:54.

much. Have a good day. 170,000 bottles of champagne being served

:26:54.:27:04.
:27:04.:27:08.

here at Royal Ascot, and this is the man who's doing the catering.

:27:08.:27:12.

We are at Royal Ascot, so we have pushed the boat out. And you have

:27:12.:27:22.
:27:22.:27:22.

got a Michelin star now. Yes. Incredible. I know you have got a

:27:22.:27:26.

couple of restaurants down in Folkestone. Tell us what you have

:27:26.:27:31.

made specifically for Royal Ascot. Can I take my hat off first? I feel

:27:31.:27:35.

more comfortable without this silly hat. I have done a few dishes

:27:35.:27:41.

across the board. They have gone across all of the restaurants. This

:27:41.:27:46.

is fresh Folkestone crab, which we have a hand picked, mixed with a

:27:46.:27:50.

bit of paste, to give it a Moroccan feel, a little bit spicy. Can I

:27:50.:27:58.

have a taste? Go for it. And we have got some salt and pepper squid,

:27:58.:28:03.

which is a really big seller at the restaurant. It has got Lyon, chilli,

:28:03.:28:09.

coriander, soy sauce. This is one of your signature dishes, isn't it?

:28:09.:28:12.

It is, but I hate the word signature dish, because the

:28:12.:28:16.

customers have to give you that accolade in the first place. So

:28:16.:28:21.

that means it is a dish that we can never take it off the menu now. But

:28:21.:28:27.

yes, it is a signature dish. And this one here, I would love to lie

:28:27.:28:33.

to you, and say that I designed this specifically for Royal Ascot.

:28:33.:28:37.

this specifically for Royal Ascot. This is a cold chocolate and sea

:28:37.:28:46.

buckthorn dish. Sea buckthorn is a berry which is foraged for in

:28:46.:28:54.

certain areas. It is a very sharp tasting Berry. When I put this on

:28:54.:28:59.

the menu at my restaurant, it was because it was a locally foraged

:28:59.:29:02.

desert, and I wanted to introduce something different. So, I thought

:29:02.:29:09.

I would put it on the menu here at Ascot. Somebody did some Google

:29:09.:29:14.

research and found out that actually, ancient Greeks used to

:29:14.:29:17.

graze their racehorses on sea buckthorn pastures, and right

:29:17.:29:20.

before the race, they would feed them with the berries, which are

:29:20.:29:26.

very high in vitamin C. And actually, the ancient Greek word

:29:26.:29:34.

for Sea buckthorn is Glittering Horse. Absolutely wonderful.

:29:34.:29:38.

Wondering if Black Caviar, which is what a day is all about, has had

:29:38.:29:44.

any sea buckthorn berries this morning?! This is not real caviar,

:29:44.:29:54.
:29:54.:30:02.

but what shall we do?! Shall we try wearing today and beautiful,

:30:02.:30:06.

beautiful classic clothes. That was classic. There is the Black Caviar

:30:06.:30:10.

colours, the salmon pink and black. Clearly a supporter. We can have it

:30:10.:30:14.

confirmed you will see lots of salmon and black today. Also, lots

:30:14.:30:20.

of pale beige and cream colours. Hats need good hat pins as well in

:30:20.:30:24.

this wind. You need to be fairly adaptable because the big rain

:30:24.:30:28.

storm we had, you need to be able to run, so shoes you can run in

:30:28.:30:33.

help. The sculpture there in the background. We have a really, big

:30:33.:30:40.

international crowd here on the final day of Royal Ascot.

:30:40.:30:45.

Hello! Yes, we see you. How much rain do these hats take before they

:30:45.:30:50.

start crumbling? Do the hats take? I try not to find out F you have

:30:50.:30:53.

feathers you have a problem because they can really damage them quickly.

:30:53.:30:57.

But, you know, just go under cover. You will be all right in the rain.

:30:57.:31:01.

I get all the channels on this, it's useful. Let's take you through

:31:01.:31:04.

the story of the week, as we have been saying, and we were talking

:31:04.:31:07.

about this, probably the best Royal Ascot we can remember. It is,

:31:07.:31:17.
:31:17.:31:27.

without doubt, the pest Royal Ascot performance! The superb,

:31:27.:31:31.

spectacular Frankel. This is the best racehorse that you have ever

:31:31.:31:40.

seen, I have ever seen, that anybody will ever see. It's Little

:31:40.:31:45.

Bridge! Famous Hong Kong win. most magnificent sporting venue in

:31:45.:31:53.

Europe. Up towards the line, it's Most Improved who gets the money in

:31:53.:32:00.

the St James Palace Stakes. Now So You Think goes on to win the Prince

:32:01.:32:05.

of Wales Stakes. This is a great day's racing, a great day of sport,

:32:05.:32:12.

a great day of fashion. Racing in the Gold Cup. It's Opinion Poll now

:32:12.:32:18.

pouncing. The two Godolphin runners fighting it out. It was great, you

:32:18.:32:24.

know, this was my best chance of the week. I am glad this came up.

:32:24.:32:30.

They're set. Off and running. Fallen For You is racing away here.

:32:30.:32:37.

Goes on to win it for William Buick. Today is one of those days.

:32:37.:32:42.

could have a Royal winner. There will be plenty of money for the

:32:42.:32:45.

Queen's horse. We have a Royal winner, hats off to the Queen as

:32:45.:32:49.

Estimate goes up to the line to win by five lengths. The whole country

:32:49.:32:54.

will have appreciated this victory for Her Majesty. We have got the

:32:54.:33:03.

most marvellous horses in the world and I mean the world.

:33:03.:33:07.

The question mark doesn't have to be too big, she is a hot favourite,

:33:07.:33:11.

Black Caviar. Let's concentrate on stamina and class, other than speed

:33:11.:33:15.

and class. The Hardwicke Stakes stakes, and here is the line-up

:33:15.:33:18.

with Jim McGrath. Talking about Australia and about

:33:18.:33:22.

Melbourne, in particular, we have a Melbourne Cup winner in this race

:33:22.:33:32.
:33:32.:33:32.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:33:32.:34:14.

and a Melbourne Cup runner-up. Hardwicke Stakes stakes, hugely

:34:14.:34:24.
:34:24.:34:31.

can't wait for Black Caviar, first bet struck behind me �100,000 at 1-

:34:31.:34:36.

5 to win �20,000. I am in front of the stands now.

:34:36.:34:39.

This is the spot where a lot of people are hoping Black Caviar's

:34:39.:34:42.

going to come thundering up the track. She's coming from stall 15.

:34:42.:34:45.

If she goes as straight line from the six furlong start this is where

:34:45.:34:55.

she will end up finishing. I spoke to the Leona. They've changed the

:34:55.:34:59.

going officially to good. Richard Hughes who came out from the stall

:34:59.:35:05.

next in stall 16, he said it's good ground. No excuses for Black Caviar

:35:05.:35:11.

Black Caviar! Nothing is ever a certainty in

:35:11.:35:17.

racing, that's why we run the races because you can't write it down on

:35:17.:35:21.

paper beforehand. We have an Australian connection in this race,

:35:21.:35:29.

because this horse Dunaden won the Melbourne Cup. Willie, I don't know

:35:29.:35:33.

whether you stayed up to watch this live in the early hours, it was one

:35:33.:35:36.

of the best finishes you have ever seen. It was close. Exactly.

:35:36.:35:42.

Doesn't in the yellow, -- Dunaden in the yellow. This is a two-mile

:35:42.:35:47.

race. They do sprint home here in the Melbourne Cup. 300 metre mark

:35:47.:35:51.

there and Dunaden looks as though he is going to get caught there by

:35:51.:35:58.

Red Cadeaux. Red Cadeaux, I thought got his head in front, but Dunaden

:35:58.:36:02.

really found a bit for the stick there and got his head in front. It

:36:02.:36:08.

was close. It was an absolute bob of the head and the cameraman

:36:08.:36:12.

thought Red Cadeaux had won, when the photo finish came up. It's a

:36:12.:36:17.

half a nostril. That's so close. Nearly a dead heat. Dunaden went on

:36:17.:36:22.

to win the Hong Kong Vase in his final start of the year. He is a

:36:22.:36:32.
:36:32.:36:36.

classy, well travelled horse. They are the biggest investors in

:36:36.:36:46.
:36:46.:36:47.

sport and racing in this country right now, thanks to Kipco who

:36:47.:36:52.

sponsor series. Very serious orders going on, isn't there? In Hong Kong

:36:52.:36:56.

when he won his last race he showed a lot more turn of foot than he did

:36:56.:37:00.

there in the Melbourne Cup. He really rattled home in Hong Kong.

:37:00.:37:05.

Possibly he is a horse that likes fast ground, so maybe today the

:37:05.:37:10.

ground will be just a little bit on easy side for him. Dunaden and Red

:37:10.:37:13.

Cadeaux both six-year-olds. If they're to be vulnerable it may be

:37:13.:37:16.

from one of the many four-year-olds in the race, there are a few of

:37:16.:37:22.

them. The most promising of whom is Aiken, who is unbeaten now in six

:37:22.:37:27.

starts, actually was beaten first time out but has won six in a row

:37:27.:37:30.

and John Gosden and William Buick are very much the team to be with

:37:30.:37:37.

this week. They had three - and this colt he won really

:37:37.:37:43.

impressively last time. French Derby day. He made the running and

:37:43.:37:47.

looked as though he was going to get swallowed up at the two but

:37:47.:37:53.

battled away and he was going away at the finish. Let's go back to

:37:53.:37:58.

Dunaden, because the Sheikh's racing manager is with Rishi now.

:37:58.:38:03.

Yes, he is. He is overseeing instructions just given to the

:38:03.:38:08.

rider. What's been said? Confidence in that? I think there's got to and

:38:08.:38:13.

bit of confidence. We can't use the ground as an excuse. The horse

:38:13.:38:19.

looks incredible I think walking around the paddock and stiff gallop

:38:19.:38:23.

will suit him well, which he didn't get in France last time. We got to

:38:24.:38:27.

give it a best shot. Fingers crossed we get a result this week.

:38:27.:38:32.

So far failed to produce a winner for them, so hopefully today.

:38:32.:38:35.

difficulty for people wanting to back Dunaden is seeing the two

:38:35.:38:39.

performances at the end of last year in Hong Kong and Australia and

:38:39.:38:42.

the two performances this season saying he hasn't done that yet. Is

:38:42.:38:46.

he back to what he did at the end of last season? I think he is

:38:46.:38:53.

better than he was last season, to be honest. We have a long plan,

:38:53.:38:58.

which is to go for the Arc if we possibly can. Today we will learn

:38:58.:39:01.

whether he is good enough or whether we need to be going back to

:39:01.:39:05.

Australia. Obviously we would love to go to Australia swl and the

:39:05.:39:09.

Sheikh had the time of his life there, as did I. You can completely

:39:09.:39:14.

ignore his first two runs, because the first time he needed a run

:39:14.:39:17.

badly and we all knew that. The second time the race couldn't have

:39:17.:39:22.

been run to suit him worse. Absolutely no gallop. Then he came

:39:22.:39:26.

with a storming run but he was too far back to be able to use it.

:39:26.:39:30.

Conditions today should be right up his street. We look forward to

:39:30.:39:36.

seeing how he gets on, thank you. Good luck. Thank you.

:39:36.:39:42.

Still to be mounted is Sea Moon. Ryan Moore is riding him. He was

:39:42.:39:51.

very impressive when running away with - had trouble in running,

:39:51.:39:58.

didn't get the greatest ride, and was second to St Nicholas Abbey.

:39:58.:40:01.

That was a fabulous performance. That was a very good performance.

:40:01.:40:04.

Travelling all the way over to America and finishing second. It

:40:04.:40:08.

was a very good run for him that day. He is a well travelled horse

:40:08.:40:14.

this. He had a little bit of a problem with stalls at one stage

:40:14.:40:20.

but seems to have got over that now and he is a very talented colt.

:40:20.:40:24.

They are - this is a handsome line- up. That's a really good looking

:40:24.:40:29.

horse. You saw Dunaden, he looks well. Memphis Tennessee looked

:40:29.:40:32.

absolutely marvellous. We will look at him in a moment. Let's talk

:40:32.:40:35.

about Red Cadeaux, the horse who nearly won the Melbourne Cup and he

:40:35.:40:41.

has been just a grand, grand flag- bearer for the yard of Ed Dunlop.

:40:41.:40:45.

Absolutely right, Clare. He has been superb, Red Cadeaux. He's got

:40:45.:40:52.

better and better. Really since he started in Melbourne really. He's

:40:52.:40:55.

done nothing wrong. He deserves to be here, but it's very tough.

:40:55.:41:00.

rare that the Hardwicke attracts the first and second in the

:41:00.:41:03.

Melbourne Cup. What chance have you got with Dunaden this afternoon?

:41:03.:41:07.

am sure we are probably happy with how our season has gone so far.

:41:07.:41:10.

There were circumstances in the last race for Dunaden, they went

:41:10.:41:16.

slowly. He's beaten us twice, maybe it's our ground maybe more than

:41:16.:41:20.

hopbg -- Hong Kong was. It's going to be hard. I can't remember a

:41:20.:41:24.

Hardwicke quite as competitive as this in the last few seasons.

:41:24.:41:30.

removed the penalty for a Group 1 win sore that -- winner so that

:41:30.:41:34.

makes a big difference. This is a a Group 1 race with horses, but in

:41:34.:41:40.

Group 2. It's exciting. We run a filly for the first time, see how

:41:40.:41:45.

that goes as well. Good luck. Willie, you wanted to have a word

:41:45.:41:49.

about the jockey there. McLoughlin very much involved with

:41:49.:41:56.

this horse, he gets on him some days, but today - this lad, he's

:41:56.:42:00.

made this horse and he does get the ride every now and again and when

:42:00.:42:06.

he goes to Australia he goes down there with him and rides him, he is

:42:06.:42:10.

instrumental in the success of this horse, Tom. I am glad to see that

:42:10.:42:13.

Tom has got the ride on him today and I hope everything goes well for

:42:13.:42:19.

him. We wish them well with Red Cadeaux.

:42:19.:42:22.

The runners are at the start. A chance to look at the leading

:42:22.:42:25.

jockeys and trainers so far this week. We mentioned it already, but

:42:25.:42:29.

the hat trick for William Buick and John Gosden yesterday took both on

:42:29.:42:33.

to four winners and puts William in a strong position to win the

:42:33.:42:38.

leading jockey award for the first time in his life. He is one clear

:42:38.:42:41.

at the moment of Ryan Moore. Frankie Dettori with two now. A

:42:41.:42:51.
:42:51.:42:53.

host of jockeys on one. John Gosden looks uncatchable at the top of the

:42:54.:42:59.

trainers leading award. It's still possible, Clare. Possible, but as

:42:59.:43:02.

you say you fancied Memphis Tennessee in this for Aidan O'Brien

:43:02.:43:07.

and he has good runners later in the day. Sir Henry Cecil has had a

:43:07.:43:16.

terrific week. There is William, just making final

:43:16.:43:20.

- putting on the rug on to this big horse. He looks as though he needs

:43:20.:43:26.

it, he is half-asleep! He ran against Dunaden last time and had

:43:26.:43:33.

him back in third, but he is 7lbs worse because of the way the

:43:33.:43:39.

weights work for this. They're all on levels. Except for the filly

:43:39.:43:42.

Testosterone. If we can we will look at Memphis Tennessee because

:43:42.:43:52.
:43:52.:43:53.

Willie, you you mentioned him a couple of times.

:43:53.:43:58.

He looks beautiful. He looks really well muscled up. He looks as though

:43:58.:44:04.

he is ready to run the race of his life. Look at the length of that

:44:05.:44:09.

lad's legs. 6ft, the jockey. Marvellous how he folds himself

:44:09.:44:13.

away when they're in the gallop position. It's marvellous. Joseph

:44:13.:44:17.

O'Brien, we have seen him this season mature into his role as

:44:17.:44:21.

balance hroeu Doyle's -- Ballydoyle's number one choice and

:44:21.:44:31.

his father has won this race in the last four years. Doesn't in yellow.

:44:31.:44:35.

-- Dunaden in yellow. We will look at the betting market. John, who

:44:35.:44:39.

are punters going for? It's so competitive, they don't know

:44:39.:44:43.

themselves. There's been money for Aiken now. Dunaden was the one that

:44:43.:44:53.
:44:53.:44:53.

they were backing eachway. Sea Moon hanging on to favouritism.

:44:53.:45:00.

You won't miss these colours. This is Jakkalberry, trained by Marco

:45:00.:45:05.

Botti. He was a Group 1 winner in Italy.

:45:05.:45:10.

Six years old now. Wears a tongue tie. He goes into the stalls

:45:10.:45:13.

sweetly. Aiken has gone forward as well. Memphis Tennessee moving

:45:13.:45:17.

forward. Willie, what do you think will happen in this race? Well,

:45:17.:45:21.

it's a very good race. There's a lot of talented colts in this. Sea

:45:21.:45:29.

Moon is obviously on song. Michael stout having a winner yesterday. So

:45:29.:45:33.

it's going to be a very sort of intriguing race because there is at

:45:33.:45:43.
:45:43.:45:53.

least five colts in here you could he gets his chance on Black Caviar.

:45:53.:46:00.

Over to you, Jim McGrath. JIM MCGRATH: Christophe Lemaire, on

:46:00.:46:07.

his Melbourne Cup winner. And they are off. Dunaden in the centre was

:46:07.:46:12.

one of the first away. On the inside, Sea Moon, and also going

:46:12.:46:19.

fast, Aiken. Widest of all is Testosterone. Looking over Johnny

:46:19.:46:26.

Murtagh to see if he can get closer to the rail. Up there as well is

:46:26.:46:36.
:46:36.:46:56.

Memphis Tennessee. Dowsing is in towards the inside rail. Holding

:46:56.:47:06.
:47:06.:47:08.

the rail, Fiorente. On the inside, Jakkalberry. On the outside, Sea

:47:08.:47:18.
:47:18.:47:19.

Moon. Hunter's Light has gone wide. In behind horses, about third-last,

:47:19.:47:25.

is Red Cadeaux. Last is Calico Cat. Racing uphill now. On the inside

:47:25.:47:31.

his Testosterone, by half-a-length, to Memphis Tennessee. Out very wide

:47:31.:47:35.

is Quest For Peace, and in behind them, in the centre, battling away,

:47:35.:47:42.

is Dunaden. Aiken has made a fast move. Moving up to join the leader

:47:42.:47:49.

now. It is Testosterone, half a length clear, from Aiken, who has

:47:49.:47:57.

come round the outside to challenge. Hunter's Light, poised. Dunaden has

:47:57.:48:00.

gone right out the back door. Into the home straight, two furlongs to

:48:00.:48:05.

go. Aiken is the first to strike for home, he has gone three in

:48:05.:48:15.
:48:15.:48:19.

front. But here comes Sea Moon. Red Cadeaux battling on. But Sea Moon,

:48:19.:48:25.

four in front. 100 yards to go. It is all Sea Moon! Coming up towards

:48:25.:48:35.
:48:35.:48:37.

the line, Sea Moon is going to win the Hardwicke. In second, Dunaden.

:48:37.:48:47.
:48:47.:49:00.

number 12, Sea Moon, ridden by Ryan Moore. And didn't he win? Have a

:49:00.:49:06.

look at him! He had it won with that burst of speed inside the

:49:06.:49:12.

furlong and a half. Dunaden looked gone coming around the turn but has

:49:12.:49:18.

come again. The stamina kicked in, and he beat his old foe, Red

:49:18.:49:28.
:49:28.:49:31.

Cadeaux. In fourth is Aiken, fifth, Jakkalberry. Fiorente was next. And

:49:31.:49:40.

then a gap to Hunter's Light. Then, Allied Powers. Then another gap to

:49:40.:49:47.

Calico Cat, who ran on from last, but was a long way from the winner.

:49:47.:49:57.
:49:57.:49:59.

Quest For Peace, Kieren Fallon, right out the back. So, too, the

:49:59.:50:09.
:50:09.:50:21.

Michael Stoute, ever eager for Carlton House to win on the first

:50:21.:50:25.

day, but then he came up with a winner for the Queen yesterday, and

:50:26.:50:31.

now a double today. There is the Wonder from Down Under, Black

:50:31.:50:40.

Caviar. 21 wins out of 21. Doesn't she look relaxed. She doesn't know

:50:40.:50:46.

that the nation awaits, I'm sure. She looks cool and calm. The

:50:46.:50:53.

traffic is now being stopped in the Ascot high street, on both sides.

:50:53.:51:02.

Luke Nolen just interested to see how the great mare looked, and she

:51:02.:51:10.

looked fantastic. So, Sea Moon, the winner of the Hardwicke Stakes.

:51:10.:51:17.

CLARE BALDING: This horse is going to win a lot of good races this

:51:17.:51:23.

year, because he has this engine, and he can just suddenly put a race

:51:23.:51:28.

to bed. Dunaden in particular made up an awful lot of ground to finish

:51:28.:51:33.

second. But Ryan Moore was in too full Drive here on this source.

:51:33.:51:37.

There was no picking him back. Michael Stoute's yard, which has

:51:37.:51:41.

been pretty sleepy this season, has come a wake in the last couple of

:51:41.:51:44.

days, yesterday winning for the Queen, and now getting another

:51:44.:51:52.

winner. WILLIE CARSON: This was a very,

:51:52.:51:55.

very competitive Hardwick. Ryan Moore, when he got into the

:51:55.:52:02.

straight, and everybody found out, he asked the horse for a full

:52:02.:52:06.

effort, and he gave it to him. He went a long way clear. Just getting

:52:06.:52:12.

a little bit tired towards the end, when Dunaden's stamina kicked in.

:52:12.:52:17.

That puts Ryan Moore in front of William Buick. He has had one more

:52:17.:52:23.

third place, so he goes into the leader's position in the Qipco

:52:23.:52:27.

Leading Jockey award. He took the award last year, in the very last

:52:27.:52:37.
:52:37.:52:41.

race, and he is in front with four so unlucky in many respects in the

:52:41.:52:46.

St Leger last year, Sea Moon. He went to America and was runner-up

:52:46.:52:56.
:52:56.:52:56.

in the Breeders' Cup Turf. But now he is just starting to realise some

:52:56.:53:00.

of that potential which he showed earlier in the campaign up at York.

:53:00.:53:06.

Sir Michael Stoute on the left. Ryan Moore just telling Sir Michael

:53:06.:53:11.

exactly what sort of a run he had during the race. And we have the

:53:11.:53:20.

full details now. Over to John. JOHN PARROTT: Well, the hugely

:53:20.:53:30.
:53:30.:53:31.

impressive Sea Moon, has come on a bundle since Goodwood. In the pre-

:53:31.:53:35.

parade ring now with Black Caviar. The amount of people here just

:53:35.:53:43.

taking photographs, a memory to last forever. I saw her about 10

:53:43.:53:49.

days ago at Newmarket, and her coat looks much better today than it did

:53:49.:53:55.

36 hours after she landed on the plane. She looks in great nick, I

:53:55.:54:03.

cannot find a negative about her, she looks outstanding.

:54:03.:54:07.

CLARE BALDING: She is known as Nellie at home and by those who

:54:07.:54:11.

look after her. The name of Black Caviar are is what she races under.

:54:11.:54:17.

It is amazing how many great racehorses have great names as well.

:54:17.:54:21.

It is a fantastic sight. Willie, you were commenting on her power,

:54:21.:54:27.

the way she walks. WILLIE CARSON: Absolutely. You can

:54:27.:54:32.

see how she over-tracks. Her hind feet, if you imagine she makes a

:54:32.:54:38.

mark where her front feet go down, the hind legs go further than that,

:54:38.:54:44.

which is called over-trekking. She has got a lot of power, and you can

:54:44.:54:50.

see the way she swaggers. She has got a lovely swagger. Luke Nolen

:54:50.:54:55.

standing on the scales, to check his weight of 9 stone 1. Frankie

:54:55.:55:00.

Dettori having a chat with him. is trying to read him up, a bit of

:55:00.:55:08.

sledging going on. He is not a! The trainer of this mare, this is a

:55:08.:55:15.

huge moment for him. They want to blitz the rest away. We could not

:55:15.:55:18.

get an interview from him this morning, I think he was too nervous.

:55:18.:55:23.

He has got too much going on in that head of his. We have got an

:55:23.:55:27.

interview now with the winner of the Hardwicke, Sir Michael Stoute.

:55:28.:55:33.

Sir Michael, your smile tells the story. Yes, delighted with that

:55:33.:55:37.

performance. There was mitigation at Goodwood, and told me he got a

:55:37.:55:41.

bit lazy at home as well. But he has settled nicely and picked up so

:55:41.:55:45.

well. I was thrilled with him today. What about the people that

:55:45.:55:52.

questioned his resolution? Have they? Yes, they said, is he as good

:55:52.:56:02.
:56:02.:56:02.

as we hoped he would be? Listen, I was disappointed at certain times

:56:02.:56:07.

in previous races, but Ryan Moore said, he will never go like that

:56:07.:56:14.

again. How good could he be? He wasn't bad today. Well, yes, that's

:56:14.:56:19.

not a bad sign. Ryan Moore, you have ridden some good ones, that

:56:19.:56:22.

looked a tough race to pick the winner before the start. Yes, I

:56:22.:56:26.

thought he might have his work cut out today, but he travelled really

:56:26.:56:31.

smoothly. He picked up really well. I could not be more pleased with

:56:31.:56:36.

the original. He has only had seven runs, so he could be even better.

:56:36.:56:41.

Yes, the trainer has been very patient! That is all you can ask

:56:41.:56:50.

for on a big stage like this. Yes, we're delighted. All of the horses

:56:50.:56:57.

have gone very well. Today was a very good performance. Very well

:56:57.:57:06.

done. And so here we go into full overdrive build up to the Diamond

:57:06.:57:08.

Jubilee Stakes, a race which has improved so much in quality over

:57:08.:57:12.

the years, an awful lot of that quality coming from Australia. It

:57:12.:57:14.

quality coming from Australia. It does seem that generally speaking,

:57:14.:57:17.

Australian sprinters are quicker out of the gates, and they keep

:57:17.:57:22.

going faster than ours. Well, you have got about six months

:57:22.:57:25.

difference in the age of course. But you have got the sun over there,

:57:25.:57:28.

they always seem to be bigger and stronger than our sprinters. Look

:57:28.:57:37.

at the size of her. We know what weight she is, what is it, 545

:57:37.:57:43.

kilos. She is more than that. Interestingly, if you keep the

:57:43.:57:47.

camera out wide, you can see she has got protective covers on her

:57:47.:57:51.

front feet because of that over- stride that Willie was talking

:57:51.:57:58.

about. They are pieces of rubber, you put them over the boots in case

:57:58.:58:08.
:58:08.:58:11.

she catches a shoe. You can see her hind legs going past when she puts

:58:11.:58:17.

her front legs. Everybody getting pictures of her as she goes by. It

:58:17.:58:23.

must be amazing down there. RISHI PERSAD: I have never in my

:58:23.:58:28.

entire time in racing seen so many people trying to get a photograph

:58:28.:58:32.

of originals. Everybody has got their telephones out, taking photos

:58:32.:58:36.

of Black Caviar. The lad leading her around, he has just been

:58:36.:58:42.

chatting all the way, whispering in her area. Obviously saying things

:58:42.:58:45.

that she is accustomed to hearing, but it is helping to keep her

:58:45.:58:49.

extremely calm. She looks in great shape, but I cannot get over the

:58:49.:58:52.

number of people who are here just to capture a photograph of Black

:58:52.:59:02.
:59:02.:59:07.

JIM MCGRATH: So, there she is. She is relaxed, far more relaxed I

:59:07.:59:11.

would say them Connections and those associated with her. This is

:59:11.:59:16.

the big moment. It has been building for months, for weeks. And

:59:16.:59:24.

the big test is only minutes away. And that's in the Diamond Jubilee

:59:24.:59:30.

Stakes, over six furlongs. Let's check the runners and riders. We

:59:30.:59:40.
:59:40.:59:40.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:59:40.:00:31.

have a total of 14. And here they trying their pest. Trying to beat

:00:31.:00:34.

Black Caviar, but all of these people down here at the pre-parade

:00:34.:00:39.

ring trying to get a glimpse of this super mare and journalists who

:00:39.:00:44.

will be writing it tpoup ever The Racing Post tomorrow. We have

:00:45.:00:48.

Australian news crews here, and actually - they sold the rights to

:00:48.:00:53.

be able to cover her inside her yard in Newmarket, such was the

:00:53.:00:57.

protective wall around her, but Jim McGrath broke through and this is

:00:58.:01:03.

his take on Black Caviar. There's never been a sporting icon

:01:03.:01:09.

like her in Australia, certainly not in the last 80 years since the

:01:09.:01:16.

1930 Melbourne Cup. Black Caviar is going for her 22nd consecutive win.

:01:16.:01:22.

Black Caviar, the equine superstar of the world!

:01:22.:01:27.

Does it surprise you this mare is a sporting icon in Australia? It's

:01:27.:01:34.

amazing the amount of interest she's created. It's unprecedented.

:01:34.:01:38.

Even at sporting circles, she is captured the imagination of the

:01:38.:01:48.

public. They'll draw her, we have never had that before, to be part

:01:48.:01:55.

of it is - it's amazing, yeah. Institutions like the Financial

:01:55.:02:03.

Review are doing stories on her, it's unher althoughed and it's a --

:02:03.:02:07.

unher alded. Do you feel more pressure every time she goes out?

:02:07.:02:12.

would be lying if I don't feel pressure to keep this record in

:02:12.:02:16.

tact. You know, if she did come about tasting defeat, people would

:02:16.:02:20.

say greedy BLEEP he's gone too far, this or that. I am very mindful of

:02:20.:02:28.

that. They will be the toets of Royal -- toast of Royal Ascot.

:02:28.:02:34.

She's go to go over there and prove it. What about her that makes her

:02:34.:02:40.

so special? I wish I knew. I wish I could nail it down. I wouldn't be

:02:40.:02:44.

working for a living. She can switch off. She will see the back

:02:44.:02:49.

of the field, run unbelievable sections. She has an unbelievable

:02:49.:02:54.

turn of foot after travelling so fast. She She doesn't go as hard or

:02:54.:02:58.

fast as other horses but her movement allows her to cover more

:02:58.:03:04.

ground.Lets quite staggering how she gets the job done. She's

:03:04.:03:08.

hulking, I don't know if that's the word, but that comes to mind. She's

:03:08.:03:16.

bigger than most colts. She doesn't look as big as what she actually is.

:03:16.:03:20.

What is she like mentally? She's learned to handle everything that's

:03:20.:03:24.

been thrown at her. She likes her down time. On the whole, for a

:03:24.:03:32.

horse that gets poked and and proded as much as her, she has an

:03:32.:03:36.

underbelievable temperament. They will look at her and think she's

:03:36.:03:39.

half-asleep, to us a that's a good sign. Reading between the lines it

:03:40.:03:42.

seems you are getting hacked off with people comparing her to

:03:42.:03:47.

Frankel. I think probably belittling, not only her, probably

:03:47.:03:51.

both horses. Why do we need this comparison? He is a great horse.

:03:51.:03:56.

He's done everything asked of him, as she has. I find it surprising at

:03:56.:04:00.

times his rating can continue to rise beating same horses under same

:04:00.:04:04.

conditions, where hers can't. That's staggering. These men are

:04:04.:04:09.

smarter than I, so, you know, that's why they get the big dollars.

:04:09.:04:13.

How fast do you think this mare can go? Is she something that's going

:04:13.:04:17.

to break records? Well, we have never gone out to do that within a

:04:17.:04:20.

career, mindful she has sustained injuries throughout her career but

:04:20.:04:25.

I can assure you you she's often gone faster at home on training

:04:25.:04:29.

tracks and gallops in private than at the races. We have seen at the

:04:29.:04:37.

races where she's been - middle stages of a Group 1 sprint, it's

:04:37.:04:40.

something we have never seen before. I don't know if she can go faster,

:04:40.:04:45.

I am hopeful she never has to. Peter Moody talking in depth about

:04:45.:04:49.

this mare and now putting finishing touches to her and making sure her

:04:49.:04:55.

hair is nicely in place. You will see her, the big physical presence

:04:55.:04:58.

of her, and we would expect thoer jump out of the start quicker than

:04:58.:05:01.

anything else and try and make all the running and come home in front

:05:01.:05:08.

for the Diamond Jubilee, a race that was renamed this year and Luke

:05:08.:05:14.

Nolen, 32, will get his chance to win his 19th race on this mare.

:05:14.:05:17.

They've struck up the most fantastic partnership. And the

:05:17.:05:21.

Queen will make the presentation for this race is looking down from

:05:21.:05:25.

her new box, which allows her to see down into the paddock and she's

:05:25.:05:28.

waiting for the runners to arrive in the paddock. Black Caviar will

:05:28.:05:35.

be on her way very shortly. Let's tell you a few things about her.

:05:35.:05:41.

The lastest 200 -- fastest 200 metres she's covered, she's broken

:05:41.:05:47.

ten seconds. She's reaching a speed of 44.83mph. Willie mentioned her

:05:47.:05:53.

weight, she's even heavier than she thought she was.

:05:54.:05:58.

She's heavier than Denman, who we always thought was the biggest

:05:58.:06:08.
:06:08.:06:14.

Australia and the shortest she started 33-1 on, which means you

:06:14.:06:19.

have to put on �33 to win one back. On her days off likes swimming,

:06:19.:06:26.

going to the beach and her nickname is Nelly. I suspect the Australian

:06:26.:06:29.

fans of Black Caviar will think today's odds are a giveaway, but

:06:29.:06:35.

what are they? Here is John. They'll be thinking it's manna from

:06:35.:06:43.

Heaven, she's 1-6 here. One punter had �a 100,000. There's punters

:06:43.:06:46.

coming up having a bet and all they want is the ticket, not even going

:06:47.:06:50.

to collect. Even if Black Caviar wins, which we expect she does, the

:06:50.:06:58.

book-makers won't have to pay out. They want a momento of the day.

:06:58.:07:03.

It's madness here, Suzi, where are you? Practically next door to you,

:07:03.:07:07.

John. The anticipation for the next race is great in here. Let's look

:07:07.:07:17.
:07:17.:07:23.

at some of the fashions we have That's a terrific hat.

:07:23.:07:28.

Everybody having lots of fun, really stylish today. Those girls

:07:28.:07:38.
:07:38.:07:43.

So, it's all about Black Caviar today. If you come with me we have

:07:43.:07:47.

pole position in the grandstand. Over there is the finishing line.

:07:47.:07:57.
:07:57.:08:01.

Over here is half of Melbourne. Hello Australia! Should I have said

:08:01.:08:05.

good' day. Is she going to do it? No worries. She's had to go through

:08:05.:08:13.

an awful lot to get over here. What do you think? You are speechless!

:08:13.:08:17.

got so much money riding on this, absolutely. It's such a treat. You

:08:17.:08:21.

have seen her race before over in Australia. Tell us about that

:08:21.:08:29.

experience. Amazing. Every other horse - she's cruising and never

:08:29.:08:32.

looks like getting beat. Hopefully she doesn't today. I saw you

:08:32.:08:38.

looking at the pictures there. How is the jockey looking? Looking

:08:38.:08:42.

confident. We are all confident, hopefully she can do the job today.

:08:42.:08:49.

Half of Melbourne is here and half is at Federation Square watching

:08:49.:08:52.

the screen. Have you seen her race before? I haven't, but I am not

:08:52.:08:58.

from Melbourne. You are aloud to have not seen her race. On the TV,

:08:58.:09:03.

but not live. She does look superspecial. Are you fans of Black

:09:03.:09:08.

Caviar? Absolutely, we are here to support our Aussies friends. We

:09:08.:09:12.

know it's not going to let us down today. I do hope so. Big cheer for

:09:12.:09:22.
:09:22.:09:29.

so they can see this mare go around. Everybody standing here. They're

:09:29.:09:33.

trying to get a shot of Black Caviar. Sir Peter O'Sullivan, who

:09:33.:09:36.

has commentated on so many races over the years for the BBC is here

:09:36.:09:40.

in the paddock and Peter, did you come specifically to see Black

:09:40.:09:45.

Caviar? Well, I couldn't possibly not be here. Yes, it's a great

:09:45.:09:50.

thrill for me and seven or eight decades of Ascot, it's one of the

:09:50.:09:54.

most exciting days ever. I think this is one of the most spectacular

:09:54.:09:59.

meetings as well. Of course, she can quite seriously Crown it now.

:09:59.:10:03.

She could. Actually behind us here is the Black Caviar gang and all

:10:03.:10:06.

her owners and so exciting that you have come over here, because you

:10:06.:10:10.

are taking a big risk to travel a filly halfway around the world.

:10:10.:10:14.

Yeah, it's something that that has been planned for 12 months.

:10:15.:10:19.

Hopefully all the trainers had everything in order and mapped out

:10:19.:10:24.

a programme 12 months ago. We are relaxed at this stage. I will tell

:10:24.:10:28.

you in about half an hour how good the plan was. We just got to hope

:10:28.:10:32.

that she produces her form. lovely thing is that you are all

:10:32.:10:35.

friends. You are all a bunch of friends, it's not like you have an

:10:35.:10:39.

empire of racehorses. That's right. We have been friends for a long

:10:39.:10:47.

time. It's good that we can come here with our family, friends and

:10:47.:10:57.
:10:57.:10:57.

enjoy England and also Ascot, it's a marvellous place to come to.

:10:57.:11:02.

gang of ten. Are some of you nervous? I don't think I have slept

:11:02.:11:09.

since 3.00am. It is, it's nerve- racking but delightfully nerve-

:11:09.:11:13.

racking, it's beautiful at the same time. You know who is up there

:11:13.:11:15.

looking down, who has her position in the special box to see your

:11:15.:11:20.

filly. Yes, I know. Isn't it marvellous. It's so exciting.

:11:20.:11:24.

brilliant. The Queen looking down. Luke Nolen behind, he is smiling

:11:24.:11:28.

away now. All his nerves will dissipate as soon as he gets on

:11:28.:11:33.

board this great mare because the worst bit is the waiting. Of Of

:11:33.:11:37.

those who are trying to take her on, the field does include last year's

:11:37.:11:42.

winner, Society Rock. If we make our way through here, James is

:11:42.:11:47.

talking to Johnny Murtagh and working out whether they can beat

:11:47.:11:51.

the supermare. You will be doing your best? Of course. What chance?

:11:51.:11:59.

He likes the track. He has a a good record at Ascot. Johnny is waiting

:11:59.:12:02.

there. I can see that Rishi is having a look at these horses in

:12:02.:12:12.

the paddock. George Strawbridge is here. He celebrated his first ever

:12:12.:12:17.

Royal Ascot winner yesterday and now, you are a great international

:12:17.:12:20.

sportsman, I should imagine you are trying very hard to knock the

:12:20.:12:24.

Aussie superstar over? Yes, I am bound to be very popular no matter

:12:24.:12:29.

what I do, obviously, Clare. This Moonlight Cloud has a lot of speed.

:12:29.:12:35.

She's very fast. She's very fast, whether anything is as fast as

:12:35.:12:40.

Black Caviar, I rather doubt it. We will see. You are the sort of

:12:40.:12:43.

second choice as it were, 5-1. Black Caviar odds on favourite.

:12:43.:12:48.

Those are generous odds - you are not really a punter though. I never

:12:48.:12:55.

bet. Too much money with your trainers. Absolutely, where have

:12:55.:12:59.

they been all these years, Clare, including your dad? He said what

:12:59.:13:03.

have we all been doing. Great for you. I hope Moonlight Cloud runs

:13:03.:13:10.

well for you. Thank you so much, Clare. You see Luke Nolen there.

:13:10.:13:13.

Cheers at every stage. There was a cheer when Black Caviar came into

:13:13.:13:19.

the paddock, a cheer as Luke Nolen gets the leg-up.

:13:19.:13:23.

Well, a lot of people are leaving, rushing away from the paddock to

:13:23.:13:27.

get their vantage point for the race. Willie, you got your first

:13:27.:13:30.

chance to see Black Caviar in the flesh, what did you make of her?

:13:30.:13:40.

She's a big filly. Quite a big strong girl. She looks a nice type,

:13:40.:13:45.

I know how fast she is. I know all that. I wouldn't put her in the

:13:45.:13:50.

pretty category. She's a big girl. She's very strong. Everything about

:13:50.:13:56.

her moves absolutely lovely, fluently. She's obviously a freak

:13:56.:13:59.

and a very, very fast horse. Let's talk about a couple of others.

:13:59.:14:04.

Interestingly, Moonlight Cloud, also a mare, no mare has won this

:14:04.:14:09.

race for 27 years. We expect that to end today. Of course we do,

:14:09.:14:15.

Black Caviar is a mare and she's come all the way, 12,000 miles from

:14:15.:14:23.

Australia to do that. In England we don't seem to be able to produce

:14:23.:14:26.

real world-class superstar sprinters. What about Moonlight

:14:26.:14:31.

Cloud? She's trained by your old pal. She was very good last year.

:14:31.:14:35.

She put up a stunning performance in France. He is expecting her to

:14:35.:14:41.

be finishing. He would - she's a seven-furlong horse. He is hoping

:14:41.:14:45.

that the six here will help her and she will be finishing. He is hoping

:14:45.:14:49.

she doesn't get too far behind too early because she will be wanting

:14:49.:14:55.

to finishing. Moonlight Cloud is the main danger in the market to

:14:55.:14:58.

the favourite, Black Caviar. other problem is she is drawn on

:14:58.:15:08.
:15:08.:15:17.

going to let go of her until Luke Nolen says he is absolutely ready.

:15:17.:15:23.

They have even shipped over their own stalls handler. He has been

:15:23.:15:29.

with her for most of her runs. He has come over from Victoria, and

:15:29.:15:38.

will be down at the start to meet her. She just breaks into a trot.

:15:38.:15:42.

Everybody around the paddock is saying, she does not look as if she

:15:42.:15:46.

is heavier than Denman. But she must have incredibly heavy bone

:15:46.:15:53.

density. That's the excuse I always use! As she breaks into a canter,

:15:53.:16:00.

Luke Nolen takes his position, and she looks absolutely fine. There's

:16:00.:16:03.

a youngster dressed in those colours, the Salmon and black

:16:03.:16:08.

colours of Black Caviar. Just huge excitement all round the racecourse,

:16:08.:16:14.

because there has been so much media attention on this horse. Her

:16:15.:16:22.

cannot remember an occasion like this. The United States have been

:16:22.:16:26.

covering this, and there has also been coverage in the Middle East.

:16:26.:16:32.

Let's see what has been happening in the betting ring.

:16:32.:16:41.

JOHN PARROTT: Well, she is a 1-6 shot. I have not heard anything

:16:41.:16:46.

like it down here. There is an air of anticipation like I have never

:16:46.:16:50.

witnessed before. CLARE BALDING: She has travelled

:16:50.:16:55.

more than 10,000 miles, and now she has three quarters of a mile in

:16:55.:17:00.

front of her, to confirm her superstardom. This is Black

:17:00.:17:10.
:17:10.:17:18.

She has got an unbelievable turn of foot. This is why she is rated the

:17:18.:17:25.

best in the world! She has got an unbelievable attitude, a great will

:17:25.:17:32.

to win, and she has got so much power. She cannot do any more here

:17:32.:17:40.

in Australia... She does not go as hard or as fast as other horses,

:17:40.:17:50.
:17:50.:17:51.

but her movement allows her to cover the ground. Peter Moody has

:17:51.:17:59.

got something to prove over there. There has never been a definitive

:17:59.:18:04.

line from the Poms to say, you are the best. She has got to go over

:18:04.:18:10.

there to prove it... The Wonder from Down Under. Her

:18:10.:18:15.

trainer, Peter Moody, with his Royal Enclosure badge. I think he

:18:15.:18:25.
:18:25.:18:26.

is feeling the nerves. Black Caviar, striding out down at the start.

:18:26.:18:36.
:18:36.:18:36.

Frankie Dettori is on an interesting horse for Godolphin. He

:18:36.:18:42.

rides Soul in this one. This was a good one over this turf in a

:18:42.:18:52.
:18:52.:18:56.

previous race. But then finished last behind Krypton Factor. Like

:18:56.:19:06.
:19:06.:19:06.

you say, the blue of Godolphin coming into form.

:19:06.:19:10.

CLARE BALDING: And in terms of the betting, Moonlight Cloud is the

:19:10.:19:14.

second choice, and the leading European hope in this one. Trained

:19:14.:19:21.

by Freddy Head. Willie, I spoke to George, they are realistic about

:19:21.:19:24.

him, with everybody thinking that Black Caviar is going to win this

:19:24.:19:31.

one... WILLIE CARSON: Yes, she is a filly

:19:31.:19:36.

who would be better over a bit of a longer distance, actually. She is a

:19:36.:19:39.

seven-furlong filly. We are expecting that the ground and the

:19:40.:19:46.

speed of this race, she will be coming home at the finish. She will

:19:46.:19:52.

not be up there with them, she will be held up, and he is hoping that

:19:52.:19:57.

she will get a placement. A quick look at last year's winner, Society

:19:57.:20:02.

Rock. James Fanshawe being realistic on this one, saying that

:20:02.:20:08.

they are pleased that it is here. Yes, when you get a horse that

:20:08.:20:13.

likes it here at Ascot, it is a massive advantage. The fact that it

:20:13.:20:17.

is drawn near Black Caviar, in 13, will mean that Johnny Murtagh will

:20:17.:20:27.
:20:27.:20:28.

be able to keep his eye on her. has brought this one back to six

:20:28.:20:37.

furlongs, she was running him a bit further. And he seems to be very

:20:37.:20:43.

consistent now. That was a shot of The Cheka. Tom Queally on board,

:20:43.:20:48.

who will forever be known as Frankel's jockey.

:20:48.:20:51.

WILLIE CARSON: This is exciting, isn't it?

:20:51.:20:56.

CLARE BALDING: It is, isn't it? I wonder how fast his heart will be

:20:56.:21:02.

beating. As soon as you leave the weighing room, you just want to get

:21:02.:21:07.

on with it. You can see the stalls handler that they have brought over

:21:07.:21:11.

specially, he has even got the colours on the cap. Everything has

:21:11.:21:15.

been thought of, she is like a movie star. Even the owner, when I

:21:15.:21:23.

said, can we have an interview? He said, who are you with? I said, BBC

:21:23.:21:33.

Television! It is very quiet where they are now. It is calming, as it

:21:33.:21:38.

were. The amazing thing about it, Willie, she is not in the slightest

:21:38.:21:45.

bit fazed by any of this. All good horses are like this, the real

:21:45.:21:51.

superstars. Life to them is so easy. When they gallop, they're going

:21:51.:21:55.

half-speed. Others are huffing and puffing. But she has never been put

:21:55.:22:00.

under pressure. Possibly, that's why she just thinks, here we go

:22:00.:22:05.

again, I am going to go for a canter. They even moved an Aussie

:22:05.:22:15.

Rules football match so that there was no clash with this race.

:22:15.:22:22.

Imagine them saying, over here, moving the England match! I wonder

:22:22.:22:29.

what they are doing in that square in Melbourne at the moment. This is

:22:29.:22:38.

Krypton Factor, a high-class sprinter. He won on Dubai World Cup

:22:38.:22:44.

night. Trained in Bahrain. You know, Willie, that they are really out to

:22:44.:22:50.

try to topple Black Caviar. Yes, he has been trying to do a bit of

:22:50.:22:56.

sledging about the Aussies. He is a trainer who, I believe, I am not

:22:56.:22:59.

certain, but I believe he is trying to buy a stable to trained at

:22:59.:23:04.

Newmarket. So he will be a new name to be training at Newmarket. And

:23:04.:23:10.

hasn't Newmarket been doing so well recently, in the last nine races,

:23:10.:23:20.

all of them have been won by Newmarket-trained horses.. We are

:23:20.:23:24.

not long from the start now. Everybody wants it to be off and

:23:24.:23:32.

running, because it will not take long once those stalls open. Having

:23:32.:23:38.

looked at some of her races, Willie, you were looking at the helicopter

:23:38.:23:45.

shot from above the stalls. Yes, and she is such a big, strong mare,

:23:45.:23:49.

there was a shot of her coming out of the stalls, she is a big thing,

:23:49.:23:55.

and she came out first. And of course, she comes out first, and

:23:55.:23:59.

the Jockey eases her back, to come back to the others, and they are

:23:59.:24:02.

huffing and puffing trying to get to her. Of course, she is

:24:02.:24:10.

phenomenal. Just to repeat, she has won 21 races in a row. Every race

:24:10.:24:17.

she has run him, she has won, 11 of those at Group 1 level, but this is

:24:17.:24:21.

her first race outside Australia. And it is the journey here, the

:24:21.:24:24.

different situation, the different course, everything associated with

:24:24.:24:27.

taking yourself halfway around the world which is her biggest

:24:27.:24:30.

challenge. Peter Moody has made it very clear, he does not think there

:24:31.:24:35.

is an awful lot to gain, but there is everything to lose. But what

:24:35.:24:38.

there is to gain is an international spotlight, a global

:24:38.:24:43.

standing. All the jockeys here today want to see how good she is.

:24:43.:24:49.

She is slotting into stall 15. She will be closest to the stands, so

:24:49.:24:52.

she could go all on her own, keep away from the other runners, if she

:24:52.:24:59.

wants to. She gets a friendly ruffle of the hair from her handler,

:24:59.:25:06.

over from Australia. We have a global sprinting superstar at the

:25:06.:25:13.

head of our market. She is going to go off an odds-on favourite, 6-1 on.

:25:13.:25:20.

Over to Jim McGrath. JIM MCGRATH: This is a mare that

:25:20.:25:25.

has two nations agog. There's the scene in Melbourne, everybody

:25:25.:25:35.
:25:35.:25:39.

watching. Cheers from the crowd as Black Caviar is installed safely.

:25:39.:25:45.

This is her biggest challenge. Here at Royal Ascot, the Diamond Jubilee

:25:45.:25:55.
:25:55.:25:58.

Stakes. A couple of them very edgy. They are racing in the Diamond

:25:58.:26:07.

Jubilee Stakes. And Black Caviar has got away to a good start. The

:26:07.:26:15.

early leader is Soul. Moonlight Cloud takes up a position in the

:26:15.:26:19.

middle of the field, from The Cheka. Pastoral Player is further back in

:26:19.:26:28.

the field. There followed by Krypton Factor. As they race up

:26:28.:26:33.

towards halfway, Soul, the leader. Now, Black Caviar or ambling up on

:26:33.:26:43.
:26:43.:26:44.

the near side, in third. Further back is kinky. As they come up, the

:26:44.:26:53.

leader is Soul. Black Caviar starts to move up on the near side. Now,

:26:53.:27:03.
:27:03.:27:08.

he says go. It is Black Caviar! Here comes Restiadargent. Here

:27:08.:27:14.

comes Moonlight Cloud! It is tight! Photo-finish between Black Caviar

:27:14.:27:22.

and Moonlight Cloud! Further back is Krypton Factor. Then, Sirius

:27:22.:27:32.

Prospect, from Society Rock. This is tight. This is very, very tight

:27:32.:27:41.

indeed. Black Caviar, flashing home down the outside. As they raced

:27:41.:27:48.

towards the line... She might have just got it. She has got there, she

:27:48.:27:58.
:27:58.:28:00.

has scraped home. She has got there by a nostril. The winner, number 11,

:28:00.:28:07.

Black Caviar. The cheers of the crowd, and the relief of Peter

:28:07.:28:16.

Moody. He will not be a happy man. Luke Nolen, we will have a look at

:28:16.:28:26.
:28:26.:28:27.

it again. But this is the reaction in Melbourne, in federation square.

:28:27.:28:33.

As they know now all that Black Caviar has scraped home in the

:28:33.:28:40.

closest of finishes to the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. There is Black

:28:40.:28:45.

Caviar. Look at Luke Nolen, riding so confidently near the line, but

:28:45.:28:50.

look at the swoop down the outside from these two. He is riding so

:28:50.:28:56.

confidently, as they get towards the line. But Moonlight Cloud, in

:28:56.:29:02.

the White, and Restiadargent, in the centre, the two French horses,

:29:02.:29:07.

are swooping. And as they hit the line, it is Black Caviar, by a

:29:07.:29:17.
:29:17.:29:40.

It is a head by a neck. She started 6-1 on favourite. They are the

:29:40.:29:48.

British bookmakers prices. Luke Nolen and Peter Moody, and there is

:29:48.:29:54.

the photograph. Luke Nolen realised close to home that they were

:29:54.:30:04.
:30:04.:30:04.

closing. And Black Caviar has scraped home. The alarm was going

:30:04.:30:10.

off, I would say, about 30 yards from the line. And this fantastic

:30:10.:30:19.

western has now won 22 races in a row. She has won the Diamond

:30:19.:30:29.
:30:29.:30:34.

in front of this enormous crowd, a crowd of about 80,000 here at Royal

:30:34.:30:42.

Ascot today. He has cantered her down the track.

:30:42.:30:51.

She will be fully appreciative of that, and then he will trot back in

:30:51.:30:56.

front of the members. Wye say the relief of connections would be

:30:56.:30:59.

enormous and also the relief of the jockey, because when he watches

:30:59.:31:05.

that again on replay he will have his heart in his mouth. He won't

:31:05.:31:10.

sleep for a week. He is not the only one who had his

:31:10.:31:16.

heart in his mouth, a whole nation held their breath because they

:31:16.:31:20.

thought this supermare had been caught on the line and for all of

:31:20.:31:24.

them watching in Melbourne a huge sigh of relief and cheer went up

:31:24.:31:28.

when the result was confirmed and Peter Moody had said he didn't mind

:31:28.:31:33.

by half an an inch, but I thought he was joking, maybe Luke took him

:31:33.:31:40.

at his word, because, Willie, that was extraordinary. Got little too

:31:40.:31:45.

confident, did Luke. He's been winning sort of easy all the time

:31:45.:31:50.

down in Australia, but here obviously she's travelled a long

:31:50.:31:56.

way. Possibly not as good as she normally is, but she has been on

:31:56.:31:59.

the best on the day and there is a lot of relief that the photograph

:31:59.:32:04.

went that way. If it hadn't gone that way, I am afraid the jockey,

:32:05.:32:08.

the rest of his life would have been not very nice because he

:32:08.:32:12.

looked as though he took it a little bit too easy, instead of

:32:12.:32:16.

having a little look to see where the other horses were, he sort of

:32:16.:32:21.

went up to the last quarter a furlong and hands and heels very

:32:21.:32:29.

quietly. Let's have another look at it. Many people will have been

:32:29.:32:31.

wondering what happened there. He doesn't want to give her a hard

:32:31.:32:34.

race because of the travelling she has done and they want to go

:32:34.:32:38.

elsewhere in the world and win another of these global sprint

:32:38.:32:43.

races. Look, he is pushing her there. He has the stick, gave her a

:32:43.:32:49.

little tap there. Back-hander. Another. He's flicked her a few

:32:49.:32:56.

times. It's now. Now he is keeping her balanced. Hasn't - he stops

:32:56.:33:00.

riding now and oh! Let me ask you an honest question, has he mistaken

:33:00.:33:06.

the winning line? We will have to wait and see. We will wait and see

:33:06.:33:13.

what he says when he gets back. He did actually stop riding there.

:33:13.:33:16.

can see there the conflicted emotions of all those associated

:33:16.:33:20.

with Black Caviar. They thought oh my word! She's been caught, and

:33:20.:33:24.

then the jubilation when it's confirmed she has not been caught,

:33:24.:33:34.
:33:34.:33:48.

she's hung on and has won the Nay please your majesty, my Lords,

:33:48.:33:52.

ladies and gentlemen, everyone in the UK and everyone in Australia,

:33:52.:33:56.

she has travelled halfway around the world, defending an unbeaten

:33:56.:34:01.

record, she has hung on. It may have been tight, but she has won

:34:01.:34:07.

her 22nd race. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Diamond Jubilee,

:34:07.:34:15.

Black Caviar! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING.

:34:15.:34:19.

It hasn't gone according to script, but the result is what everybody

:34:19.:34:29.
:34:29.:34:29.

wanted. She's won it officially by a head and the time was 1.91 of a

:34:29.:34:34.

second outside the record. It's been an amazing performance in the

:34:34.:34:40.

ground under the circumstances. But Luke Nolen will be going back over

:34:40.:34:47.

that and he will be looking over and over again and asking just why

:34:47.:34:57.
:34:57.:34:59.

he eased. So, there she is. She's relaxed! I don't think there's

:34:59.:35:06.

anybody else here very relaxed. But whether he actually mistook the

:35:06.:35:11.

winning post, or whether he was confused, I don't know. Or maybe

:35:11.:35:14.

too confident. Let's have another look. Look at him, he is riding

:35:14.:35:19.

hands and heels, still riding out now, but look at those two on the

:35:19.:35:27.

outside closing. And now he eases. But there's still a few strides to

:35:27.:35:36.

go. Now he gets a response from the mare. He has just fallen in. The

:35:36.:35:46.
:35:46.:35:52.

outstanding mare who has capped the most fantastic week here at Royal

:35:52.:35:57.

Ascot. We have had Frankel's 11- length tkepl demolition on the

:35:57.:36:03.

first day. We have had Frankie Dettori winning the Gold Cup. We

:36:03.:36:08.

have had So You Think winning the Prince of Wales Stakes and the

:36:08.:36:12.

Queen has had a winner. And there is Her Majesty down there to see

:36:13.:36:19.

this mare herself. What a fantastic compliment to Peter Moody, to this

:36:19.:36:23.

great mare that Her Majesty has come down herself to see her in the

:36:23.:36:33.

flesh. A magnificent moment. A great moment for Australian racing,

:36:33.:36:43.
:36:43.:36:45.

for Australian sport. Luke Nolen coming over. This great

:36:45.:36:52.

partnership, he's been aboard for the majority of her wins. Just the

:36:52.:36:57.

first couple, he missed another one under suspension. Anyway, sighs of

:36:57.:37:02.

relief all round. I would say those who laid the long odds on breathing

:37:02.:37:08.

the biggest sighs of relief as Luke Nolen steps on to the scales let's

:37:08.:37:13.

check the details with John. are right there, Jim. The punter

:37:13.:37:23.
:37:23.:37:30.

with �100,000 on to win �20,000, he had. Jim mentioned that Luke Nolen

:37:30.:37:34.

will watch this a few more times, this is the bit he won't mind

:37:34.:37:39.

seeing, the fact she did pick up again when she asked and Moonlight

:37:39.:37:42.

Cloud couldn't close fast enough and on the line she was still a

:37:42.:37:47.

nose in front. He gives Peter Moody a big kiss there. The gamble paid

:37:47.:37:50.

off. The gamble to come here, the owners were the ones that wanted to

:37:50.:37:55.

do it and the Queen has come down to greet the horse. Let's hear now

:37:55.:38:00.

from the winning trainer and jockey with Rishi.

:38:00.:38:07.

The first question, they want to know what happened in the closing

:38:07.:38:15.

stages? I probably underestimated the testing track of Ascot. I was -

:38:15.:38:20.

she had enough and the big engine right down, it's unfortunate

:38:20.:38:23.

because it's going to overshadow what was a good win. They're going

:38:23.:38:27.

to talk more about my brain fade than the horse's fantastic effort.

:38:28.:38:32.

Do you feel that prior to that she had shown the superiority that you

:38:32.:38:39.

expected? She did, but like I said, I underestimated the testing

:38:39.:38:44.

straight 16, so we got away with it. Got away with it, what were your

:38:45.:38:49.

thoughts, Peter? You only have to win by a quarter of an inch. We

:38:49.:38:52.

have the job done. The way she travelled through the race

:38:52.:38:55.

everything was going to plan. Was there ever a moment in the closing

:38:55.:38:58.

stages you thought it wasn't quite as dominant as you would have

:38:58.:39:03.

expected? We never expect dominance. We never asked her for dominance.

:39:03.:39:07.

She gets the job done. We are more concerned about her next run than

:39:07.:39:12.

today. We are extremely proud of her. She's 22, it's never been

:39:12.:39:15.

about margins, about dominance. heard you talking before about the

:39:15.:39:18.

fact that as a sportsman you never get a chance to represent Australia.

:39:18.:39:26.

This is your chance to don the baggy green today, how proud of

:39:26.:39:32.

you? Extremely proud Aussie. Words can't describe the feel. Just to be

:39:32.:39:36.

here and take it all in, it's an unbelievable feeling and it's

:39:37.:39:40.

befitting that it's with a horse like this. The moment you led her

:39:40.:39:43.

up to meet the Queen, what was that like? Something I never thought I

:39:43.:39:50.

would experience! It was quite overwhelming. There's no doubt your

:39:50.:39:54.

majesty is certainly a horse lover and the two Queens of Australia,

:39:54.:39:58.

maybe. And Luke, are you going to be able to enjoy this eventually?

:39:58.:40:04.

Look, I will. We won, doesn't matter, but I think it may

:40:04.:40:10.

overshadow what was a fantastic job by the horse. Take my hat off, this

:40:10.:40:16.

little bloke here, Tony, and Paddy Bell, they looked after her the

:40:16.:40:21.

whole time at Newmarket and she's done a fantastic job. I think

:40:21.:40:25.

hopefully my performance hasn't overshadowed what was a great

:40:25.:40:35.
:40:35.:40:35.

effort by the whole team. Peter, give him a hug! Well done.

:40:35.:40:45.

Luke Nolen being pretty hard on himself, on the PA mic as well.

:40:45.:40:48.

Black Caviar took a full circuit of the paddock and people taking final

:40:48.:40:53.

photos of her and applauding her as she goes away now and I am sure

:40:53.:40:59.

they will be heading to Hong Kong. There is a �1 million bonus for any

:40:59.:41:04.

horse that can win three races in global sprint series in three

:41:04.:41:09.

different countries. There is one in Japan as well coming up. A horse

:41:09.:41:12.

at Newmarket, Clare, that won't be that bothered, you know. Who is

:41:12.:41:18.

that? Frankel. That's true, he won't! Her Majesty the Queen makes

:41:18.:41:27.

the presentation for the Diamond Jubilee to the winning owners. Ten

:41:27.:41:33.

owners of Black Caviar. In fact, it looks as if the female members of

:41:33.:41:40.

the winning partnership will do the honours as they lift now the

:41:40.:41:45.

Diamond Jubilee trophy. A fantastic success for them.

:41:45.:41:49.

Although Luke Nolen clearly still asking himself questions and

:41:49.:41:53.

apologising, the main thing is, as Peter Moody said, they came here

:41:53.:42:00.

and they won. Her unbeaten record remains in tact. Which is

:42:00.:42:03.

absolutely marvellous, 22 straight wins. It's a modern day record. She

:42:03.:42:13.

extends her modern day record. is an - after the race she walked

:42:13.:42:18.

around and she was getting a cheer all the way around. She didn't

:42:18.:42:24.

bother a bit. She is a really relaxed mare. A huge cheer goes up

:42:24.:42:29.

for Peter Moody. He follows in the footsteps of the great trainers who

:42:29.:42:32.

have come here, taken on the challenge of bringing horses from

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

Australia to Royal Ascot, and have applause and I tell you what, when

:42:49.:42:53.

punters can still collect they forgive pretty quickly. If he got

:42:53.:43:03.
:43:03.:43:15.

caught, different story. But he didn't. Job done. I don't think we

:43:15.:43:20.

saw her at her best, because all our sprinters were within five

:43:20.:43:25.

lengths or there at the finish and the jockey was saying that he

:43:25.:43:30.

underestimated the stiffness of this racecourse. In Australia the

:43:30.:43:35.

courses are lovely, flat and nearly always run on fast-ish ground.

:43:35.:43:45.
:43:45.:43:47.

jockey that got closest to catching them was on board Moon-- moonlight

:43:47.:43:52.

Cloud. As the Queen poses for photographs, I suspect she is

:43:52.:43:57.

saying did you wonder if you had won? Everybody held their breath.

:43:57.:44:07.
:44:07.:44:15.

Let's hear his reaction, he very happy for my filly, and just a

:44:15.:44:25.

nose for the finish. The best in France. Were you surprised when

:44:25.:44:31.

Luke Nolen stopped riding? No, not surprise today, on good chance

:44:31.:44:36.

normally, yeah. The best in Australia filly. Nearly? Yeah.

:44:37.:44:42.

Almost. Well done, thank you. I think to be fair he probably

:44:42.:44:44.

misunderstood the question there. I think he thought the question was

:44:44.:44:48.

were you surprised that Black Caviar won? No, he wasn't surprised

:44:49.:44:53.

at that. Happy scenes. I hope Luke can

:44:53.:45:00.

actually enjoy it now. It's a shame for him. What he's anticipating is

:45:00.:45:05.

that the rollicking he will get in the Australian press. You want to

:45:05.:45:10.

pick up an Australian newspaper, they don't hold back. Well, he

:45:10.:45:20.
:45:20.:45:25.

day for him, but let's not forget all these Australian people who

:45:25.:45:33.

have come to see this mare, and she still won. We did not get the

:45:33.:45:38.

fireworks, but after all, she still won the race. The full team of

:45:38.:45:42.

owners, and I suspect that is a spot they will not want to be

:45:42.:45:45.

leaving in a hurry, because this is a magnificent achievement. Well

:45:45.:45:53.

done, them, for taking the gamble, for putting her record on the line.

:45:53.:45:59.

Yes. 22 straight. CLARE BALDING: But it does confirm

:45:59.:46:04.

what we said at the beginning, a race has to be won. It is not run

:46:04.:46:09.

on paper. And the rest of the field have gone very, very close to

:46:09.:46:15.

toppling her. Thierry Jarnet said, best in France, so obviously he

:46:15.:46:19.

thinks that his filly is the best sprinter in France. If that is true,

:46:19.:46:27.

well, she has beaten the best of France and the best that we can

:46:27.:46:31.

muster in England. And even is she has not won by five or six lengths,

:46:31.:46:35.

she has won. And that result alone caps an amazing week here at Royal

:46:35.:46:44.

Ascot. It is the last that will be televised on the BBC for the

:46:44.:46:47.

foreseeable future. Peter Dimmock was part of the royal procession

:46:47.:46:52.

earlier, the first man to host Grandstand and Sports Review of the

:46:52.:46:58.

year. The most influential person in BBC Sport of his era. He was

:46:58.:47:02.

here in 1951, when the BBC first covered Royal Ascot on television.

:47:02.:47:06.

So, a chance now to celebrate the last 61 years of partnership

:47:06.:47:16.
:47:16.:47:18.

between the BBC and Royal Ascot. Welcome to Ascot. There are places

:47:18.:47:23.

I will remember all my life. This place is special because it has

:47:23.:47:29.

stood the test of time. Though some have changed, some for ever, not

:47:29.:47:39.
:47:39.:47:41.

for better. Some have gone, and some remain. All these places have

:47:41.:47:51.
:47:51.:47:53.

their moments. With lovers and friends, I still can recall. Some

:47:53.:48:03.
:48:03.:48:06.

are dead, some are living. In my life, I have loved them all.

:48:06.:48:16.
:48:16.:48:34.

COMMENTATOR: And they are away. As Gold Cup! Of all of these friends

:48:34.:48:44.
:48:44.:48:46.

and lovers, there is no-one compares with you. These memories

:48:46.:48:56.
:48:56.:48:57.

lose their meaning when I think of love as something new. I know I

:48:57.:49:07.
:49:07.:49:08.

will never lose affection for people. I know I will often stop

:49:08.:49:18.
:49:18.:49:18.

and think about them. In my life, I will love you more. There are

:49:18.:49:26.

moments in life, when you want to be able to say, I was there. I will

:49:27.:49:36.
:49:37.:49:40.

Peter hole, is with me now. In the early days of television coverage,

:49:40.:49:45.

you must have had a huge number of challenges. Yes, and it is quite

:49:45.:49:51.

incredible, the changes. Time goes by, and the one regret for me,

:49:51.:49:57.

having had the honour to be invited by the Queen, is that This is the

:49:57.:50:02.

last time the BBC will do it, which is, I feel, a bit of a tragedy, but

:50:02.:50:08.

time moves on. I am 91, so I should not comment. In terms of the way

:50:08.:50:12.

the meeting has developed, I think this Royal Ascot, we have been

:50:12.:50:15.

saying in racing terms, it has been the best ever. You look at the

:50:15.:50:22.

crowds, the grandstand, it is such a great setting for sport. It has

:50:22.:50:27.

been a great week, with Frankel, then the Queen winning, and now

:50:27.:50:33.

today, but without you and Willie putting it all together on the

:50:33.:50:37.

television, that has made a tremendous difference. You're very

:50:37.:50:40.

sweet, and I will just say, we have not primed him to say that at all.

:50:40.:50:45.

But it seems very fitting that you should be here today, Sir Peter

:50:45.:50:49.

O'Sullivan is here as well. And it does feel like the end of an era,

:50:49.:50:54.

but I am very pleased that you're here. Very kind of you. I should

:50:54.:50:58.

remind you that we have two more days of flat racing to come on BBC

:50:58.:51:02.

television this year. We will be back here at Ascot for the King

:51:02.:51:07.

George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes on 21st July. And then, the

:51:07.:51:12.

season finale, the highlight of the flat racing season in this country,

:51:12.:51:17.

the Qipco British Champions Day, on 20th October, when we hope we will

:51:17.:51:27.
:51:27.:51:29.

racing in the world this week, but also some of the greatest fashion.

:51:29.:51:36.

With me now, Eve Pollard. You used to do this job, for 23 years.

:51:36.:51:40.

Indeed! It is wonderful to come back to see that the pageant of

:51:40.:51:44.

fashion is as good as it ever was. These dress codes that they have

:51:44.:51:48.

introduced this year have got as got absolutely back to as good as

:51:48.:51:52.

it used to be, particularly in the Royal Enclosure. Let's have a look

:51:52.:51:55.

back at some of the beautiful outfits that we have seen this week.

:51:55.:52:00.

This was on the first day, and she looked terrific in that figure-

:52:00.:52:06.

hugging dress. And there has been a lot of Jubilee inspiration as well.

:52:06.:52:13.

Indeed there has. This is the epitome of Ascot. One of my

:52:13.:52:19.

favourites, effortlessly beautiful. And this one, the hat... The hats

:52:19.:52:24.

have got larger and larger, because of the rules, saying your hat has

:52:24.:52:29.

got to be a certain size. Look at this girl, she looks delightful.

:52:29.:52:34.

have seen some of the younger girls looking really beautiful. And there

:52:34.:52:39.

is also the vintage feel of this year, which looks so nice. She is

:52:39.:52:43.

wearing flowers, as it's that it a day. I don't think you can go wrong

:52:43.:52:51.

with that at Ascot, really. A lot of black-and-white, because of the

:52:52.:52:55.

Ascot scene in My Fair Lady, I guess. And even though the weather

:52:55.:53:03.

has been bad, people have put appropriate stuff on top. Of course,

:53:03.:53:13.
:53:13.:53:17.

it has been the year of the tottering shoe. The heels have been

:53:17.:53:24.

prodigious. The Duchess of Cambridge has got into trouble with

:53:24.:53:34.
:53:34.:53:35.

the fashion police, but I believe the nude shoe is here for ever.

:53:35.:53:40.

Also, the great thing about Royal Ascot now, you can come and look

:53:40.:53:44.

fabulous, and you do not have to spend a million bucks on it.

:53:44.:53:48.

certainly do not. The high street does Ascot fashion very well these

:53:48.:53:53.

days. She looks like she is having a wonderful day. Half of the

:53:53.:53:56.

enjoyment is just being comfortable, enjoying what you're wearing,

:53:56.:54:01.

putting it back on, having a drink and having a great time. Let's hope

:54:01.:54:05.

these pictures go around the world, now that there is an Australian

:54:05.:54:09.

superstar in our midst, and British fashion will do well out of it.

:54:10.:54:14.

were watching Black Caviar as she came in here to an absolutely rock

:54:14.:54:21.

star reception. Absolutely. It seemed like she had never heard

:54:21.:54:25.

such a loud noise in her life. was a wonderful atmosphere. I have

:54:25.:54:30.

very much enjoyed the fashion. Do you think the new rules have

:54:30.:54:36.

brought us got back to where it should be? Absolutely, this is set

:54:36.:54:42.

on a fair sale for the next 20 years. Women want to dress up, and

:54:42.:54:45.

as long as that is the case, they will want to come to this event..

:54:45.:54:53.

It has been lovely having you here with us today. Lovely to be back.

:54:53.:54:56.

Now, we have already had quite a bit about the Diamond Jubilee

:54:56.:55:00.

Stakes, the closing stages of it. We will have a look at that in a

:55:00.:55:05.

moment. But first of all, the start, and a very significant start it was.

:55:05.:55:11.

Interesting to watch, in the closing stages, Moonlight Cloud,

:55:11.:55:18.

Thierry Jarnet has brought her all the way over to chase Black Caviar.

:55:18.:55:24.

Last year's winner, the unlucky one, number 13, he was getting fractious,

:55:24.:55:29.

and he has missed it completely. Yes, he sat right down. He is on

:55:29.:55:34.

his haunches, almost. And Johnny Murtagh, he was shaking his head.

:55:34.:55:40.

He said, I would have won, should have won. He said, if he had got

:55:40.:55:47.

out with the others, he had to have beaten them. Also, five from the

:55:47.:55:50.

left, in the white jacket, that is the runner-up, Moonlight Cloud.

:55:50.:56:00.
:56:00.:56:01.

Nearest to us, the black spotted jacket, that is Black Caviar.

:56:01.:56:06.

makes it look effortless. That was the beginning of the race. Let's

:56:06.:56:09.

look at the closing stages now. You know what has happened with Black

:56:09.:56:18.

Caviar, she has indeed won. Writing behind her there is Restiadargent.

:56:19.:56:26.

And there, with the red, white and blue on the cap, is Society Rock,

:56:26.:56:32.

making his progress. At the end of this, I think there's about seven

:56:32.:56:36.

within about three lengths. Yes, we got the result that everybody

:56:36.:56:44.

predicted, but nobody predicted the closeness of it. It was typical for

:56:44.:56:54.
:56:54.:56:54.

this race, it was so close. Here's Moonlight Cloud coming.

:56:54.:57:02.

Restiadargent in the centre. We just had Alex with us, saying, is

:57:02.:57:09.

there an inquiry? He was very worried. The second and third

:57:09.:57:14.

horses will not come to the July Cup, they will be racing in France.

:57:14.:57:20.

So, the second and third not back in the UK. But it was a great race

:57:20.:57:23.

to watch, about seven of them covered by three lengths. It does

:57:23.:57:28.

not get any less dramatic the more you see it. The news on Black

:57:28.:57:33.

Caviar... She is going to go into quarantine tonight, and she is

:57:33.:57:36.

going to get on the first plane back to Australia. She is not going

:57:36.:57:41.

to run in the July Cup. I don't know, they were on about Singapore,

:57:41.:57:44.

but she is getting back on the plane and going back to Australia.

:57:44.:57:48.

We shall continue to follow her progress. I think definitely the

:57:48.:57:53.

interest today, and the crowd here was hugely boosted by Black

:57:53.:57:57.

Caviar's participation, they will continue to watch her to see if she

:57:57.:58:00.

can carry on her incredible career. But she was given a fright today,

:58:00.:58:06.

no doubt about it. The main thing is, she won. We have one more race

:58:06.:58:09.

for you one BBC One this afternoon. It is the Wokingham Handicap, there

:58:09.:58:14.

is a big field for it, and Jim McGrath will name them for us.

:58:14.:58:18.

JIM MCGRATH: That decision to go back to Australia immediately is

:58:18.:58:22.

not a sudden one. It was very much on the cards, that she would only

:58:22.:58:32.
:58:32.:58:32.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:58:32.:59:45.

Wokingham Stakes. JOHN PARROTT: So, just the 28 to go

:59:45.:59:55.
:59:55.:00:27.

eachway at 10-1, Lightning Cloud. More fallout following Black

:00:27.:00:32.

Caviar's narrow win. The press conference is taking place. Peter

:00:32.:00:35.

Moody said Black Caviar was not 100% in the race. He said we will

:00:35.:00:40.

look at her and when she gets home she might be retired. He also added

:00:40.:00:43.

that Frankel's performance on Tuesday was the finest that he has

:00:43.:00:47.

ever seen. Thank you for that, Rishi.

:00:47.:00:50.

Runners on the way to the post. This a recorded shot of Lightning

:00:51.:00:56.

Cloud, the grey gelding trained by Kevin Ryan who won five times last

:00:56.:01:01.

year. All of them over seven furlongs. And led home the centre

:01:01.:01:06.

group in the Victoria Cup. Finished fifth that day. It was a good

:01:06.:01:09.

tpoefplance -- performance. Obviously, knows this track. He is

:01:09.:01:15.

going to run over six today. He was entered here yesterday and didn't

:01:15.:01:21.

take that one up. They decided to wait for this this instead. He's

:01:21.:01:27.

got a draw which is on the far side. I would imagine that they would

:01:27.:01:32.

possibly these horses, the race might happen on the high numbers,

:01:32.:01:36.

the stand side so that Lightning Cloud I would have said is not in

:01:36.:01:40.

the right place. Lightning Cloud is at the bottom of the weights. This

:01:40.:01:47.

horse Maarek is at the top with nine stone, ten. Big tall Joseph

:01:47.:01:55.

O'Brien taking the ride. When he won at Newmarket, he has

:01:55.:02:02.

taken a hike newspaper the weights -- a hike up in the weights. Every

:02:02.:02:08.

pound counts. You are looking for a horse that is going to be under his

:02:08.:02:14.

actual weight performance, rather than a horse whose weight

:02:14.:02:19.

absolutely put on top of him. This horse got a little bit too much

:02:19.:02:23.

weight. Medicean Man is better weighted, do you think? Yes. Loves

:02:23.:02:30.

it here having won last three starts at this course. Four days

:02:30.:02:37.

ago, he ran only four days ago, was fourth in the King's Stand. An

:02:37.:02:47.
:02:47.:02:59.

Australian trainer. We have an the making.

:02:59.:03:06.

Ryan Moore has a decent chance on High Standing. Again decently

:03:06.:03:10.

weighted. Been running all right without winning yet this season.

:03:10.:03:14.

is drawn one, away on the far side. He will go up the far side rail.

:03:14.:03:20.

won this race in 2009 when William Haggas trained him. Has been placed

:03:20.:03:25.

at a good level twice after that. Hopefully Jeremy - he's obviously

:03:25.:03:28.

thinks the horse is going to run big to get a hold of Ryan Moore to

:03:28.:03:35.

ride him. Let's look at Dungannon, one of Andrew Balding's two runners

:03:35.:03:39.

in this, he has Desert Law as well. His form here at Ascot reads two,

:03:39.:03:49.
:03:49.:03:50.

two, 0, 0, one. Finished - won the Shergar Cup. Andrew's last and only

:03:50.:03:54.

Royal Ascot winner came in this race in 2007, ridden by that man

:03:54.:04:01.

there, William Buick. He needs this winner to try and get in front of

:04:01.:04:06.

Ryan Moore, because Ryan is leading the championship for the jockey to

:04:06.:04:11.

ride the most winners at Royal Ascot. Waffle was a close second to

:04:11.:04:21.
:04:21.:04:25.

Deacon Blues who unfortunately is missing out of action at the moment.

:04:25.:04:28.

David is sa bit of a master with sprinters and he was quoted saying

:04:28.:04:33.

she is horses won't mind a little bit of cut in the ground and he

:04:33.:04:40.

obviously fancies this horse Waffle. Godolphin have Scarf in the race.

:04:40.:04:45.

Now that's an interesting horse, Scarf. He was a winner in Australia.

:04:45.:04:48.

Got the Australian theme again. Good looking horse, don't you

:04:48.:04:52.

think? Ran a few times over here, hasn't shown too much. That looks

:04:53.:04:57.

like Frankie Dettori has got off Elusivity, getting on board again

:04:57.:05:06.

now. Giving him a few clicks saying on you go. They're loading up

:05:06.:05:09.

quickly. Let's look at the top of the market and Lightning Cloud is

:05:09.:05:18.

our favourite. About four more to go forward for

:05:18.:05:22.

the final race on BBC1 at Royal Ascot. This is the Wokingham, here

:05:22.:05:27.

is Jim McGrath. The two top at the head of the

:05:27.:05:37.
:05:37.:05:41.

Wokingham. They're set, ready and stand by, 28 runners, they're off

:05:41.:05:47.

and racing! Scarf one of the first away. Seal Rock Thrupp in the early

:05:47.:05:51.

stages. Secret Witness also going fast on the near side. They settle

:05:51.:05:57.

fully into stride. On the far side as they settle is up there Colonel

:05:57.:06:00.

Mak, who shows the way, from Joe Packet and behind them is New

:06:00.:06:05.

Planet. They're followed by Alben Star. Behind them is Desert Law.

:06:05.:06:11.

They're followed by Oasis Dancer. In the middle of the pack Dungannon.

:06:11.:06:13.

Lightning Cloud in about 6th in that group and being tracked by

:06:13.:06:16.

Maarek in the white cap. Let's switch to the near side. They come

:06:16.:06:20.

up there. It's Secret Witness who shows the way. Secret Witness out

:06:20.:06:26.

in front here, from in second is Palace Moon, followed by Scarf. Far

:06:26.:06:30.

side are in front. Medicean Man also in that group on the near side.

:06:30.:06:36.

They race up now inside the two. Joe Packet gets the lead from Alben

:06:36.:06:38.

Star. Colonel Mak has gone. Lightning Cloud coming into it now,

:06:39.:06:44.

followed by Oasis Dancer. Maarek in the clear and Dungannon. On the

:06:44.:06:48.

near side led by Palace Moon. Action on the far side, though.

:06:48.:06:52.

Racing to the front Dandy Boy. Dandy Boy has the lead. Dandy Boy

:06:52.:06:58.

wins the Wokingham. Morache Music in a photo for second with Waffle.

:06:58.:07:04.

They were followed next by Hawkeyethenoo. Further back then

:07:04.:07:09.

Maarek and Alben Star and nicely clear of Gordon Lord Byron, Pepper

:07:09.:07:19.
:07:19.:07:21.

Lane is the last to cross the line. It's a big win for Dandy Boy, Path

:07:21.:07:31.
:07:31.:07:34.

-- Pat Dobbs. Hawkeyethenoo. Waffle gets second, I would say. A photo

:07:34.:07:38.

third between Morache Music and Hawkeyethenoo. Behind them is

:07:38.:07:42.

Dungannon and Maarek who has run well. On the near side next to

:07:42.:07:50.

Scarf down there with Palace Moon and also Elusivity. Top of the

:07:50.:07:53.

screen Lightning Cloud, with Alben Star. Bottom of the screen the red

:07:53.:08:00.

blinkers there of Secret Witness. Then Gordon Lord Byron, then Seal

:08:00.:08:04.

Rock on the near side. Down the bottom of the screen,

:08:04.:08:09.

Pabusar, Medicean Man never got into it. Lui Rei on the near side

:08:09.:08:16.

with Gramercy. Top of the screen Oasis Dancer.

:08:16.:08:23.

Behind them King Of Jazz, then Desert Law. Then New Planet. Also

:08:23.:08:27.

High Standing and Sir Reginald never got into it.

:08:27.:08:32.

Joe Packet was showing speed early and got weary. A big field of 28

:08:32.:08:35.

here. Looking for the stragglers, I think

:08:36.:08:40.

Pepper Lane was the last to cross. Colonel Mak, who showed pace, is

:08:40.:08:47.

about second or third last. No doubt about the winner, Dandy

:08:47.:08:57.
:08:57.:09:06.

Boy, Pat Dobbs. A handy sprinter. Dandy Boy has proven one of their

:09:06.:09:13.

best. David Marnane the trainer and Pat Dobbs the winning rider. A good

:09:13.:09:19.

performance. The official placings for second and third, Waffle

:09:19.:09:27.

officially second, third is Hawkeyethenoo. Fourth, officially,

:09:27.:09:37.

is Morache Music, Seb Sanders. There are the prices. Big prices

:09:37.:09:41.

again. This has been the trend in the big handicaps this week. It's

:09:41.:09:51.
:09:51.:09:59.

been hard to stab them with one this Dandy Boy. Won the Victoria

:09:59.:10:03.

Cup here, so had Ascot form but that was back in 2009. His last

:10:03.:10:07.

four wins had been over seven furlongs, so possibly again proving

:10:07.:10:15.

the fact the ground is testing here, it's sapping the energy energy, you

:10:15.:10:18.

see Dandy Boy making a smooth run through the middle of that pack.

:10:18.:10:24.

Luckily, doesn't get interrupted coming past the grey horses. Clare,

:10:24.:10:30.

he ran in a mile handicap at the Curragh last month. The stamina

:10:30.:10:35.

must come through. It's the way he took off at the furlong marker.

:10:35.:10:39.

He's done it in the style of a very classy animal. He's carried nine

:10:39.:10:47.

stone eight and he hasn't won for a very long time. So, today he has

:10:47.:10:54.

put up a very good performance. That's one of the very good times.

:10:54.:11:03.

Apart from Frankel times haven't been stunning this week. Graham Lee,

:11:03.:11:07.

former Grand National winning jockey, his first ride at Royal

:11:07.:11:11.

Ascot, coming home in third. For Pat Dobbs and David, the trainer,

:11:11.:11:16.

this is a first for both of them, their first Royal winner with Dandy

:11:16.:11:23.

Boy in the Wokingham. Great moment.

:11:23.:11:33.
:11:33.:11:47.

victory, for sure, he will also be delighted to know that the time was

:11:47.:11:52.

actually 0.23 of a second faster than Black Caviar recorded in that

:11:53.:11:59.

scramble to the line in the Diamond Jubilee. So, if you were watching

:11:59.:12:03.

and you are not a racing enthusiast, it doesn't necessarily mean that -

:12:03.:12:08.

in fact it doesn't mean that Dandy Boy is better than Black Caviar,

:12:08.:12:15.

but he has recorded a faster time. Strange as that may seem. There he

:12:15.:12:23.

is there. Pat Dobbs, great to see him, a very hard working rider.

:12:23.:12:31.

Great to see him get that Royal Ascot winner. It's been a great day

:12:31.:12:39.

here. Great atmosphere. Never known a Royal Ascot like it for the

:12:39.:12:45.

build-up, for the results, for just the way everything's panned out.

:12:45.:12:51.

It's been one of those magic meetings. Let's check the full

:12:51.:13:01.
:13:01.:13:06.

result now on the Wokingham with unlucky Waffle. Third Hawkeyethenoo

:13:06.:13:11.

and fourth Morache Music at 20-1. Well done to connections. I am

:13:11.:13:16.

going to grab a word with the trainer. Well done. Familiar

:13:16.:13:21.

territory for this horse, he won the Victor Cup. -- Victoria Cup a

:13:21.:13:25.

couple of years ago. We are trying to get him to switch off, he is

:13:25.:13:29.

always a horse with plenty of speed. You know, we ran him over a mile

:13:29.:13:34.

the last day because it was his first run for a mile. He's come

:13:34.:13:38.

here in the best form we have had him in a long time. It's great to

:13:38.:13:42.

see him back to form. He struggled really, he was out in Dubai.

:13:42.:13:46.

broke the track record over seven and picked up an injury in the next

:13:46.:13:49.

run and took a while to get him back again. He is back fully, thank

:13:49.:13:54.

God. You clocked a quicker time than Black Caviar. We won't talk

:13:54.:14:00.

about that! I am delighted for him. I am delighted for his owner, a big

:14:00.:14:04.

supporter. It's great. Thank you very much. Here is Pat. Well done.

:14:04.:14:09.

Thank you. Tell us how that went for stphaou the plan was to drop in,

:14:09.:14:16.

take my time, he can be keen if he is too far forward. He settled good.

:14:16.:14:20.

Went through very well. Even got there a little bit too soon. But if

:14:20.:14:23.

I didn't do when I did I would have been cut off and there was plenty

:14:24.:14:27.

of horses on the inside probably would have been trafg problems.

:14:27.:14:35.

traffic problems. Your first Royal Ascot winner. Yeah. Looking forward

:14:35.:14:40.

to it for a long time. It's nice to get one. On a very important day in

:14:40.:14:44.

racing, I was saying to David your horse clocked a faster time than

:14:44.:14:49.

Black Caviar. Yeah, it felt very good. Even got there too soon. It

:14:49.:14:53.

would be better horse longer I am sure. Well done. Thank you very

:14:53.:14:57.

much. The Wokingham, a competitive sprint

:14:57.:15:01.

handicap in which they've gone incredibly fast. The first four

:15:01.:15:04.

home were virtually last in their respective groups at the halfway

:15:04.:15:09.

stage. Let's look at the start. It was all over for Pepper Lane in

:15:09.:15:18.

number 7 there. She rears up a lot. You can see this, did very well to

:15:18.:15:23.

maintain the partnership and lucky the horse didn't do itself damage

:15:23.:15:27.

and rightly so, there's no point. The race is virtually over. You

:15:27.:15:30.

need get off on level terms. those circumstances, you say he

:15:30.:15:34.

can't be certain she hasn't pulled a muscle or something. Let's look

:15:34.:15:44.
:15:44.:15:50.

at the group on the far side of the group. They were the three that

:15:50.:15:54.

finished on the far side. The one that finished on the nearside was

:15:54.:15:58.

right here at the back of his group, that was Waffle. Basically, they

:15:58.:16:08.

have gone very fast in front. Cash in the closing stages. This side,

:16:08.:16:13.

the group that get involved, and you can see on the far side, Waffle.

:16:13.:16:16.

From what I have seen, they were lucky that none of them got stopped

:16:16.:16:23.

as they went through. No, I think they were able to weave their way

:16:23.:16:26.

in and out. Pat Dobbs has had a dream, riding the winner. Fran

:16:26.:16:31.

Berry, I had a word with him, he says, his horse thinks he has one.

:16:31.:16:37.

At least he won his own race, over on the far side. So, Dandy Boy

:16:37.:16:42.

coming clear to win it. If you back one that was up at the front of the

:16:42.:16:45.

race, on either side, you will probably get your money back next

:16:45.:16:51.

time when they do not go so fast, and it is not such a tough race.

:16:51.:16:58.

Presentation for the Wokingham Stakes has been made, by the former

:16:58.:17:03.

head of the Hong Kong jockey Club. His horse finished third in the

:17:03.:17:10.

Hardwicke Stakes, earlier on, behind Sea Moon. So, a landmark day

:17:10.:17:14.

for them. A high-class winner of that handicap.

:17:14.:17:21.

WILLIE CARSON: he is a very distinguished-looking jockey. Very

:17:21.:17:25.

much into the Richard Hannon success story, because he has been

:17:25.:17:30.

there a very long time. He is there every morning, and he gets a lot of

:17:30.:17:39.

winners for Richard Hannon. But he does get third-string. Which is why

:17:39.:17:43.

he had not ridden a winner at Royal Ascot until today. Let's take you

:17:43.:17:49.

through the story of this final day at Royal Ascot. The crowd who

:17:49.:17:52.

actually boosted by Australian racing fans coming to Ascot today

:17:52.:17:58.

to watch the royal procession, and to support Black Caviar. The first

:17:58.:18:02.

race went to the exuberant Frankie Dettori, in the blue colours of

:18:02.:18:11.

Godolphin, on Tha'ir, and it was Frankie's second winner of the week.

:18:11.:18:18.

But Ryan Moore went back to the top of the leading jockeys board, with

:18:18.:18:24.

his victory in the 3.05. Then we had Black Caviar, moving smoothly

:18:24.:18:30.

enough into the lead in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, but then Luke Nolen

:18:30.:18:36.

himself said he had a brain freeze. But she held on, just. The Queen

:18:36.:18:41.

came down to greet the winner. And, as we have just seen, in the

:18:41.:18:49.

Wokingham Stakes, a 33-1 winner, Dandy Boy. It has been a truly

:18:49.:18:53.

international week, we have had a Hong Kong-trained winner, and of

:18:53.:19:00.

course, an Australian winner, among others. Just to confirm those who

:19:00.:19:05.

have come into the winner's area today... And also, we have been so

:19:05.:19:09.

lucky with the weather. We had that one cloudburst, that really could

:19:09.:19:13.

have made the difference, that's where Black Caviar was lucky, that

:19:13.:19:18.

that rain did not last any longer. Indeed, I think there's a lot of

:19:18.:19:22.

people who had a huge sigh of relief, and I was one of them.

:19:22.:19:27.

Let's face it, most of us came here today to see a superstar. We saw

:19:27.:19:33.

her, but I'm sure Peter Moody and Luke Nolen know that she is better

:19:33.:19:37.

than that. She was not at her best today, and the journey must have

:19:37.:19:42.

taken a lot out of her. Her fans do not go home disappointed, because

:19:42.:19:46.

she has won, but the manner of success left everybody gasping.

:19:46.:19:49.

WILLIE CARSON: It was a workmanlike performance, rather than

:19:49.:19:55.

spectacular. Honestly, can you imagine what would have happened if

:19:55.:19:59.

she had been caught? It would have been terrible, but it did not

:19:59.:20:05.

happen, thank goodness. And there we have happy scenes, because this

:20:05.:20:11.

great filly has actually won a Group One race, travelling 12,000

:20:11.:20:16.

miles over to England, and it is very nice for it to happen, as well

:20:16.:20:19.

as nice for all the English trainers to think, we are not that

:20:19.:20:28.

far behind. And certainly the French trained as a! Yes, but the

:20:28.:20:38.
:20:38.:20:42.

English horses were not that far behind it, either. James, I asked

:20:43.:20:49.

him, he could not even speak. he was really sat down in the

:20:49.:20:54.

stalls. We still have two more races to come for you on BBC

:20:54.:20:58.

interactive, sadly not on Freeview. But we do have two more races to

:20:58.:21:04.

come. Tonight, at 10:50pm, highlights of the third quarter

:21:04.:21:14.
:21:14.:21:16.

final in Euro 2012, Spain-France. And tomorrow night, England-France.

:21:16.:21:21.

On Saturday 21st July, we will be back here for the King George VI

:21:21.:21:31.
:21:31.:21:33.

and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. I was just thinking, that was wrong, we

:21:33.:21:39.

are playing it Ilie! The graphic was wrong, I'm sorry. -- we are

:21:40.:21:47.

playing Italy. I would just like to say a huge thank you to everybody

:21:47.:21:55.

who has worked for BBC Television on Royal Ascot over the years. And

:21:55.:21:58.

thanks to Willie Carson, it has been great to work with you. Bye-

:21:58.:22:08.
:22:08.:22:13.

most magnificent sporting occasion in Europe. The theme of celebration,

:22:13.:22:19.

very much in the air. This is the best racehorse that you have ever

:22:19.:22:29.
:22:29.:22:31.

seen, I have ever seen, anybody will ever see. Can a performance!

:22:31.:22:41.
:22:41.:22:58.

The superb, the spectacular, Wales's Stakes, So You Think!
