We are at Buckingham Palace Arne Diamond Jubilee weekend, and this

:00:29.:00:34.

is impressive backdrop for four days of pageantry and parting and

:00:34.:00:37.

some of the world's biggest stars are already in town for the concert

:00:37.:00:41.

at the Palace on Monday evening. This is where they will sing for

:00:41.:00:45.

the Queen and thousands of guests, all of them under the watchful eye

:00:45.:00:50.

of the only other British monarch to celebrate 60 years on the throne.

:00:50.:00:54.

The celebrations started back in February, on the anniversary of the

:00:54.:01:00.

Queen's accession in 1952, but today it is the first day of the

:01:00.:01:03.

official Diamond Jubilee weekend. It is a fair bet the Queen is

:01:03.:01:07.

looking forward to the first engagement with more than a little

:01:07.:01:10.

enthusiasm, because she has been attending the Epsom Derby for the

:01:11.:01:16.

past eight decades. She will be there again today. In London, final

:01:16.:01:22.

preparations are under way for this extended weekend. A few hours ago,

:01:22.:01:26.

rehearsals for the concert had to stop while the troops of the

:01:26.:01:29.

Household Division made their way to household -- Joe Horse Guards,

:01:29.:01:34.

because they are preparing for the Jubilee birthday parade in a

:01:34.:01:38.

fortnight's time. So focusing on the days ahead here on BBC One and

:01:38.:01:41.

we will bring you at live, unrivalled coverage of all the

:01:41.:01:51.
:01:51.:02:10.

That is all to come, but we start the Fun Today at Epsom, where the

:02:10.:02:14.

Queen is about to arrive for the famous Derby, so it is over to

:02:14.:02:17.

Clare Balding to guide us through the afternoon's events. Over to you,

:02:17.:02:21.

Clare. Huw, thank you very much, it is

:02:21.:02:26.

about 60 miles from where you are outside Buckingham Palace to as

:02:26.:02:30.

here on the Epsom Downs, the course that provides the biggest and

:02:30.:02:34.

greatest challenge to any thoroughbred racehorse. It is a

:02:34.:02:37.

grey, overcast day, but there is colour everywhere, and the

:02:37.:02:42.

predominant themes are red, white and blue. This is the flower border

:02:42.:02:46.

outside the royal box, and that is the balcony from which the Queen

:02:46.:02:50.

will watch the 2012 running of the Derby, a race the tai-chi has

:02:50.:02:55.

rarely missed since 1953, the year of her coronation when she came in

:02:55.:03:00.

person to watch Oriel finished second. There are thousands and

:03:00.:03:03.

thousands of people here on the common ground of the Downs, where

:03:03.:03:07.

it is free entry and you can dress up in what you like and enjoy a

:03:07.:03:11.

picnic, get on the fairground rides, just have a wonderful family day

:03:11.:03:16.

out. The main grandstands here are completely sold out, and we are

:03:16.:03:19.

already had the thrill and the entertainment of the Parachute

:03:19.:03:25.

Regiment, the Red Devils, flying down from the sky with a 2000

:03:25.:03:28.

square foot Union Flag. It is a terrific stage, the perfect

:03:28.:03:32.

platform from which to kick of the four days of the Diamond Jubilee

:03:32.:03:36.

holiday, and so many here are in such an enthusiastic frame of mind,

:03:36.:03:39.

all of them waiting to see the Queen and the royal party arrived

:03:39.:03:43.

and process down the course in an open-top Range Rover, hoping to

:03:43.:03:48.

enjoy the thrill of Derby Day. What a great race with a fabulous

:03:48.:03:52.

history, a race that the Queen herself has loved and enjoyed so

:03:52.:03:57.

The Epsom Derby is the world's greatest Classic horse race.

:03:57.:04:00.

Welcome to Epsom for one of the biggest days in the sporting

:04:00.:04:04.

calendar. Derby Day is always a very special national occasion.

:04:04.:04:08.

Royal association with Epsom goes back 300 years. Her Majesty the

:04:08.:04:10.

Queen making her way to the paddock. This year, with the Jubilee

:04:10.:04:14.

celebrations only days away, it is a really right Royal occasion.

:04:14.:04:19.

great moment, this, in any year, but all the more so in Jubilee year.

:04:19.:04:22.

Can he win the Derby for the Queen? A nation awaits. And Dunfermline

:04:22.:04:26.

now going into the lead! Carlton House now strides to the front for

:04:26.:04:33.

Her Majesty the Queen! It was neck and neck. It's going to be a Royal

:04:33.:04:36.

victory, I think. It's a Royal winner. Jubilee fever seems to be

:04:36.:04:44.

on everyone. A day that Her Majesty the Queen tries not to miss. And to

:04:44.:04:54.
:04:54.:04:58.

top it all, Her Majesty the Queen Today's jockeys know they're going

:04:58.:05:02.

to perform in front of the Queen. That is Paul Hanagan, the champion

:05:02.:05:07.

jockey, his first Derby ride. William Buick, such a promising

:05:07.:05:13.

young talent, who rides Thought Worthy. Jamie Spencer, one of only

:05:13.:05:17.

two jockeys to have been placed in the race before, he rides Minimise

:05:17.:05:21.

Risk. The only jockey to have won it is Ryan Moore, who has got his

:05:21.:05:26.

game based on, it has been walking the course. He is on board

:05:26.:05:30.

Astrology. He won one Workforce. Jimmy Fortune takes the ride on the

:05:30.:05:37.

second favourite, on fire. -- Bonfire. We will of course be

:05:37.:05:40.

previewing the Derby in full, giving you the stories behind the

:05:40.:05:44.

scenes, but the Diamond Jubilee and the Queen's arrival is forefront in

:05:44.:05:49.

our minds, and the editor of Majesty magazine is alongside me.

:05:49.:05:53.

Have we seen anything like this before? I have never seen anything

:05:53.:05:58.

like this, it is quite magnificent. 60 years ago, when the Derby was

:05:58.:06:02.

run on a Wednesday, the court was still in mourning for the Queen's

:06:02.:06:07.

father, King George VI, and she was not here. Next year is the

:06:07.:06:13.

anniversary of the Coronation Derby, but I think the Queen is probably

:06:13.:06:16.

looking forward to this. There is a wonderful atmosphere of excitement,

:06:16.:06:21.

everyone waiting to see her. much joy from everyone, young and

:06:21.:06:24.

old, whether they can remember the coronation, the accession to the

:06:24.:06:29.

throne, or whether they are very young and just know that this is

:06:29.:06:37.

their Queen. In amongst that crowd for as his son Ali Shah. -- Sonali

:06:37.:06:42.

Shah. We are inside the course over here, and this is where the fun is

:06:42.:06:46.

really being had, we have got lots of families having picnics, we have

:06:46.:06:51.

got the fairground, lots of bunting and plenty of funding. Yes, it is a

:06:51.:06:58.

word, I have made it up! This family are very excited to be here.

:06:58.:07:02.

Grandad Richard has brought along his three kids, their partners and

:07:03.:07:08.

five grandchildren. Why was it so important for you to be here?

:07:08.:07:12.

so important because we have come to support the Queen and two of my

:07:12.:07:17.

grandchildren are half German, and we would like them to feel part of

:07:17.:07:20.

their British Heritage, which they will probably remember in years to

:07:20.:07:27.

come. Robert, you have come from Switzerland. All the way over from

:07:27.:07:30.

Switzerland just to be here on this special weekend, the Queen's

:07:30.:07:35.

Jubilee, so we definitely wanted to be here. Alex, why are you so

:07:35.:07:40.

excited to be here? Excited to be with my family, my brother has come

:07:40.:07:44.

from Switzerland, now we are going to be on television, so we can

:07:44.:07:54.
:07:54.:07:54.

remember that! Who is looking I just love how excited everybody

:07:54.:07:58.

is, you know, the chance to see the Queen in person and to see air at

:07:58.:08:03.

the place that she has chosen. This is how she once took a car the

:08:03.:08:07.

Diamond Jubilee, and for them to conjure the Derby, racing fans are

:08:07.:08:11.

not, they are here because the Queen has said to come. It is such

:08:11.:08:16.

a wonderfully exciting day anyway, but especially because of his very

:08:16.:08:20.

patriotic feeling that as Brits do not always do very well. It is

:08:20.:08:24.

really nice to feel it here. I know the Queen herself will be looking

:08:24.:08:29.

very closely at the nine runners for the Derby, the smallest field

:08:29.:08:34.

for 105 years, but it is bursting with quality in the face of the hot

:08:34.:08:38.

favourite, Camelot, the odds-on favourites, looking like he will be

:08:38.:08:44.

the shortest-priced favourite since 1947 when a horse called Tudor

:08:44.:08:48.

Minstrel went off at 7-4 on, but only finished 4th. Plenty of people

:08:48.:08:54.

are thinking, I will do my own bit of crown jewels! Quite a comic feel

:08:54.:08:58.

to some of it, but I like the light-hearted mess of it and the

:08:58.:09:02.

fact that everybody... Derby Day has always been like that, it is

:09:02.:09:05.

not like Royal Ascot, where you have to be very smart, everyone can

:09:05.:09:09.

do their own thing here. Particularly on the Downs, as a

:09:09.:09:14.

child, I used to go down to the start, my brother came more often

:09:14.:09:17.

than I did, but you could come in T-shirts and shorts and get close

:09:18.:09:21.

to the horses were just be part of the fairground atmosphere and then

:09:21.:09:25.

try to run across to the rail to see the field flashed by. I have

:09:25.:09:30.

ridden along the Derby course. I used to ride out for a train at

:09:30.:09:36.

Epsom. Good effort! Racing pedigree as well as royal pedigree.

:09:36.:09:42.

nearly! Who are we expecting to see accompany the Queen today? There is

:09:42.:09:46.

a full contingent of members of the Royal Family. Not the Duke and

:09:46.:09:50.

Duchess of Cambridge, apparently, although we understand the

:09:50.:09:57.

Middletons have a runner, trained by Hughie Morrison. They are going

:09:57.:10:02.

to see the Duke of York and his children, Sophie Wessex, Prince

:10:02.:10:06.

Edward, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince and Princess

:10:06.:10:11.

Michael of Kent. The only other people that will not be here are

:10:11.:10:15.

Prince Charles and Camilla. They might make a last-minute appearance,

:10:15.:10:20.

you never know. One of the great Derby Day traditions, the open-top

:10:20.:10:24.

double-decker bus, and those parts right on the rail are booked years

:10:24.:10:33.

in advance, it is a real prime position to being. The Queen is in

:10:33.:10:43.
:10:43.:10:46.

the state review vehicle, and we We will get a very clear view with

:10:46.:10:50.

the enormous over sized windows and the great big back window as well,

:10:50.:11:00.
:11:00.:11:00.

everyone getting a clear view are The cars coming through onto the

:11:00.:11:03.

course at Tattenham Corner, and they will come down nearly three

:11:03.:11:07.

furlongs of the course, in front of the crowds, and the Queen will then

:11:07.:11:11.

alight just by the winner's enclosure, walk through the

:11:11.:11:14.

grandstand and take the lift up to the Royal Box. Look at the people

:11:14.:11:19.

running along the infield, trying to keep up! I was asking Willie

:11:19.:11:23.

Carson why the Queen could not come in a carriage, and he said it was

:11:23.:11:27.

too narrow. It does not look that narrow, but it is too narrow for

:11:27.:11:32.

the carriages. The Queen making absolutely sure that her driver

:11:32.:11:35.

stays away from the ground that will be used in the target. That

:11:35.:11:40.

might sound daft, but she will have said, do not go to the inside rail,

:11:40.:11:44.

do not mess up the cause ground. They are swinging wide around

:11:44.:11:49.

Tattenham Corner and coming down at a sedate pace. The Queen would

:11:49.:11:53.

never do anything to interfere with horse racing. She is so aware about

:11:53.:12:03.
:12:03.:12:05.

So we have a full cavalcade there of seven cars in total. As Ingrid

:12:05.:12:10.

mentioned, in some of the others, the Duke of York, Princess Beatrice

:12:10.:12:14.

and Princess Eugenie, the Duke of Gloucester and the Duchess of

:12:14.:12:18.

Gloucester, Prince Michael of Kent, Princess Michael of Kent, and

:12:18.:12:25.

Princess Alexandra, the honourable lady. And the Queen is wearing, you

:12:25.:12:31.

can just get a flash there of the royal blue coat, and any that a

:12:31.:12:40.

white silk dress. There had is by Rachel Trevor Morgan, who makes

:12:40.:12:43.

many of the Queen's hat, five of which will be required for Royal

:12:43.:12:47.

Ascot, when we will see a royal procession of a different kind with

:12:47.:12:51.

the horse-drawn carriages. But a motorcade procession coming down

:12:51.:12:55.

the course here. The Queen is like all of us, she doesn't necessarily

:12:55.:12:58.

decide what she is going to wear until the day, because it is

:12:58.:13:03.

whether dependent. It is chilly today, there is quite a chill in

:13:03.:13:08.

the air, and the wind is coming down the course. It will be a tail

:13:08.:13:12.

wind for the horses. It will slow them down a bit. The dash will be

:13:12.:13:18.

run very quickly today, because of that following wind. A tail wind.

:13:18.:13:25.

Exactly, yes. It helps on a horse! One thing people love is being able

:13:25.:13:29.

to talk to the Queen about horses, and it is a great ice-breaker. As

:13:30.:13:36.

long as you know a little bit about them,... Did you tell them that you

:13:36.:13:46.
:13:46.:13:47.

had ridden around Epsom? I have No, I have never told her that.

:13:47.:13:51.

Queen nearly always wears white gloves, waving at the clouds. The

:13:51.:13:55.

Duke of Edinburgh with a broad smile on his face. I'm sure they

:13:55.:13:58.

will appreciate the affection that's clearly coming across from

:13:58.:14:01.

the hundreds of thousands of people here today. I understand Her

:14:01.:14:06.

Majesty is really excited about today and she will be rooting for,

:14:06.:14:12.

I don't know the name to which horse in the Derby... Bonfire? She

:14:12.:14:19.

might be rooting for bon bongs as her racing adviser mansion the --

:14:19.:14:26.

rooting for Doncaster Rover, as her racing adviser manages the team who

:14:26.:14:33.

look after Bonfire. The Queen had a winner two days ago at Sandown?

:14:33.:14:40.

Carlton House, the first time he's won since last year. He's a classy

:14:40.:14:45.

horse and I think he will run in Group 1 races and give the Queen a

:14:45.:14:54.

lot of pleasure. She has a runner today, Set To Music at Haydock. I

:14:54.:15:01.

suspect the guests in the Royal Box will be tuned in to that. Do they

:15:01.:15:05.

show Haydock on television? Not on the BBC but the Queen will be able

:15:05.:15:10.

to have a look. Whistles and cheers ringing out as the Queen's car

:15:10.:15:14.

arrives at the bright red lollipop, the winning post here, the most

:15:14.:15:19.

valuable stick of wood in the world, as was once said, because the horse

:15:19.:15:28.

that passes that post in front propels himself to legendary status.

:15:28.:15:35.

The National anthem will be sung for the Queen by Katherine Jenkins,

:15:35.:15:45.
:15:45.:15:53.

the multi-million album selling # God save our gracious Queen!

:15:53.:15:56.

# Long live our noble Queen! # God save the Queen!

:15:56.:16:03.

# Send her victorious. # Happy and glorious.

:16:04.:16:13.
:16:14.:16:20.

# Long to reign over us. # God save the Queen. #

:16:21.:16:30.

CHEERING Katherine Jenkins hitting all the

:16:30.:16:35.

right notes. What a magnificent rendition of the National anthem.

:16:35.:16:39.

The green now greet by the Lord Lieutenant of Surrey. She will be

:16:39.:16:45.

meeting Anthony Cane as well, the chairman of Epsom downs racecourse

:16:45.:16:50.

and a selected group of people invited into the line-up to greet

:16:50.:16:55.

the Queen. We can see the Duke of York in the foreground of our

:16:55.:17:02.

picture, with his daughters, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

:17:02.:17:07.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh having a chat with everybody. On

:17:07.:17:12.

Derby Day so easy, because what do you think will win the Derby is the

:17:12.:17:16.

obvious question. Yes, there is plenty to talk about stkphrfpblt

:17:16.:17:24.

that is Anthony Cane, the chairman of Epsom. You can get a full look

:17:24.:17:33.

there at the royal Bluecoat and the hat. The wonderful colour to wear,

:17:33.:17:39.

an appropriate colour to wear. flower blue I was going to say.

:17:39.:17:47.

Royal blue isn't it? I'm sure you are right. The Queen and the Duke

:17:47.:17:50.

of Edinburgh will make their way through the tunnel under the

:17:50.:17:55.

Grandstand which has a glass wall in the side of it, looks into the

:17:55.:18:00.

weighing room. There'll be jockeys lined up to get their own personal

:18:00.:18:05.

view of the Queen. The Queen always has the winning jockey doesn't she

:18:05.:18:10.

to join her in the Royal Box after the Derby, is that correct? Yes, he

:18:10.:18:16.

is invited to meet her to have a drink and how he won this Derby, or

:18:16.:18:22.

this year how she won the Derby if Hayley Turner is successful. That's

:18:22.:18:26.

the opening, as it were, the official opening to Derby Day 2012,

:18:26.:18:30.

with the Royal Procession. Ingrid, how lovely it is to see the Queen

:18:30.:18:36.

here looking so relaxed and for a day we know she will enjoy so much.

:18:36.:18:40.

This will obviously be the highlight perhaps of her weekend.

:18:40.:18:47.

Tomorrow the river Pageant is excitinging I fear about the

:18:47.:18:50.

weather tomorrow but the Queen, I've heard, is really looking

:18:50.:18:56.

forward to this. She is a very humble person. She is very touched

:18:56.:18:59.

when people show such love and affection for her. There was plenty

:18:59.:19:03.

of that on display from the crowds here at Epsom. A chance now for the

:19:03.:19:07.

Queen and the rest of us to focus on the sporting day ahead, the

:19:07.:19:12.

highlight of course being the Derby at 4 o'clock.

:19:12.:19:15.

Racing is the Queen's private passion. We'll be speaking to those

:19:15.:19:18.

who know all about her interest and her knowledge of this extraordinary

:19:19.:19:27.

sport. It's a family affair for Adrian and

:19:27.:19:30.

Joseph O'Brien, who could become the first ever father and son to

:19:31.:19:35.

triumph in the Derby. Camelot is a red hot favourite and we'll be

:19:35.:19:39.

asking, what makes the perfect Derby horse? And trying to find the

:19:39.:19:48.

answer. Derby drama from last year, Carlton House started favourite. He

:19:48.:19:57.

finished third. And set off the fireworks for the

:19:57.:20:01.

Baldings, if Bonfire wins. My brother trains him at the place

:20:02.:20:11.
:20:12.:20:39.

where I grew up. Katherine Jenkins, having performed

:20:39.:20:44.

the national anthem, having her photograph taken by the many media

:20:44.:20:47.

photographers. She looks magnificent if a little cold in

:20:47.:20:51.

that dress. She looks very fine and that really was a wonderful way to

:20:51.:20:57.

start the day. I'm joined as always by a four-times Derby-winning

:20:57.:21:04.

jockey, Willie son. What a day this is. Good afternoon everyone. Her

:21:04.:21:10.

Majesty, we have got her presence today, and it is the start of

:21:10.:21:15.

celebrations for the Diamond Jubilee. Have a party! Will have a

:21:15.:21:18.

party and people will particularly have a party if you tell them

:21:18.:21:25.

what's going win the Derby. We only have a field of nine, a small field,

:21:25.:21:32.

and an odds-on favourite in Camelot. He is the favourite. When people

:21:32.:21:37.

say what will win the Derby, I say it is a penalty kick, and some

:21:37.:21:42.

penalty kicks do miss. The biggest danger to him is himself. His

:21:42.:21:46.

stable companion did well at Chester. Astrology. Yes, Astrology.

:21:47.:21:53.

He did well. And Bonfire, he won one of the best-regarded trials of

:21:53.:22:00.

the Derby. The Balding family have got all the strength behind Bonfire.

:22:00.:22:06.

So, basically, that's all we can must per up against him. They are

:22:06.:22:13.

very nice colts but there's only nine and you have to go back to

:22:13.:22:19.

1907 - that long ago, since there was this small a field.

:22:19.:22:24.

smallest field in 105 years. last time an odds-on favourite was

:22:24.:22:31.

beaten was possibly The Minstrel. He was the shortest priced. A few

:22:31.:22:35.

odds-on favourites have been beaten since then. Sheriff Hutton was the

:22:35.:22:39.

last odds-on favourite to win. It is amazing how poor the record is

:22:40.:22:42.

:22:42.:22:47.

can't really prepare for. You can only find out if your horse handles

it on the day. That's why in the past the ones that have seemed

:22:52.:22:55.

unbeatable have become fragile. All of this will become clear at 4

:22:55.:23:00.

o'clock. Let's take you through some to which horses that in this 2

33rd running of the Derby could be The 2012 Investec Derby build-up

has been dominated by one horse. Camelot is long odds-on to become

:23:21.:23:27.

the 37th horse to do the Derby double with his 19-year-old jockey

:23:27.:23:32.

quietly confident he will handle Epsom's chafplgts Downhill it is

:23:32.:23:41.

tight and you need a -- challenges. Downhill it is tight. From the

:23:41.:23:49.

start we've been talking him up. It's over to him now. Talk is cheap.

:23:49.:23:55.

Andrew Balding's Bonfire traimed at the same clings clear yard as the

:23:55.:24:02.

electedry -- trained at the same yard as Mill Reef. He has speed.

:24:02.:24:07.

Hopefully he's got stamina. We won't find that out until the day.

:24:07.:24:11.

He wasn't stopping at York. He seems to have everything you need.

:24:11.:24:18.

He is well balanced. John Gosden won the Derby 15 years ago with

:24:18.:24:23.

Benny The Dip. This year he sends out fair way Stakes winner Thought

:24:23.:24:29.

Worthy. He is a grand horse with a super attitude. He's only run three

:24:29.:24:33.

times in his life. We are happy with him. Have no illusions about

:24:33.:24:37.

the fact that the favourite is an exceptional horse, which is why we

:24:37.:24:44.

have a field of nine quality horses. For the powerful Yorkshire stable

:24:44.:24:50.

of Richard Fahey Mickdaam is a first Derby representative. It's

:24:50.:24:57.

been a lucky meeting for me. We've run races before on Derby Day. To

:24:57.:25:01.

be involved on the day is great. He is entitled to be here. He's won

:25:01.:25:07.

over the trip. We'll see what happens. Another first-timer is

:25:07.:25:12.

Hayley Turner, who becomes only the second woman to ride in the Derby,

:25:12.:25:17.

aboard Cavaleiro. For any jockey in the weighing room it is a thrill to

:25:17.:25:21.

ride in the race. He's in good form. I worked him at Lingfield and he

:25:21.:25:25.

felt really good. I think he's going to run point of view his

:25:25.:25:33.

racing. I'm hoping for a pace. Fingers crossed. It is a huge

:25:33.:25:37.

moment for the jockeys and for so many of them a first chance to ride

:25:37.:25:42.

in the Derby, a race which you won four times. You were this year the

:25:42.:25:47.

official guest of honour? Isn't that exciting. Yep, guest of honour.

:25:47.:25:54.

What do you have to do? I shake a few hands, give a few interviews.

:25:54.:25:58.

You don't get anything for it. It is just glory. Did you not even get

:25:58.:26:03.

a nice lunch? Well... No, lunch is happening right now. Shy be up

:26:03.:26:08.

there having a good time, but I've come and I'm in your living rooms

:26:08.:26:12.

and obviously I hope you appreciate that. I am missing lunch just to be

:26:12.:26:16.

with you. That's very good of you. I appreciate the fact that you are

:26:16.:26:19.

here. Let's see some of your moments of triumph in the Derby.

:26:19.:26:27.

The people should remember what an incredible jockey you were. Lucky.

:26:27.:26:37.
:26:37.:26:37.

This is the 200th Derby. 1979. He beat Dick in's Him. He was the best

:26:37.:26:47.
:26:47.:26:48.

on the day. You can see him nodding there and there we have a super

:26:48.:26:53.

racehorse. Speed. He could have won from six furlongs to a mile-and-a-

:26:53.:26:59.

half. That was me saying well done to him. This was a stunning ride.

:26:59.:27:05.

You came from well back in the field. The old man's route. On the

:27:05.:27:10.

inside all the way down to Tattenham Corner. I had the rail to

:27:10.:27:15.

see me home. He was a good Derby winner. I remember that year, it

:27:15.:27:21.

was one of the first years I was working for the BBC. My job was to

:27:21.:27:26.

interview the winning Jocky. I came towards him with a microphone and

:27:26.:27:31.

he screamed at me. There was a lot of pressure on me that day.

:27:31.:27:35.

were brilliant on all four occasions. Thank you very much.

:27:35.:27:39.

You're welcome. We have another superstar here and she just sang

:27:39.:27:45.

the National anthem. Katherine Jenkins with Sonali. It must feel

:27:45.:27:52.

good to be back on Britain and on a day like this. It is incredible. To

:27:52.:27:57.

be home on a weekend like this, it is such a huge honour to be here.

:27:57.:28:00.

I'm having an amazing day, thank you. What was your reaction when

:28:00.:28:04.

you were asked to sing the National anthem for the Queen here at the

:28:04.:28:11.

Derby? The first day of her Jubilee weekend. For me it is such a huge

:28:11.:28:15.

honour. Everything is being kicked off here today. It is the first

:28:15.:28:20.

time that the National anthem has been sung to the Queen in these

:28:20.:28:24.

celebrations. Part of me hesitated and I would have stood in the rain

:28:24.:28:28.

and sung for her. It was an amazing moment, thank you. What are you

:28:28.:28:32.

doing with the rest of the holiday weekend? Have you got your own

:28:32.:28:40.

bunting out? Yes, and because I haven't seen mime Fayely -- seen my

:28:40.:28:44.

family for a while we'll be celebrating. Can you reveal

:28:44.:28:49.

anything to us about the Olympics? I am involved but I can't say in

:28:49.:28:52.

what way. Everyone will know about it shortly. I feel so proud we have

:28:52.:28:57.

this and the Olympics coming. It is a great time for Britain. Enjoy the

:28:57.:29:04.

rest of your day. Thank you, and to you. The fabulous Katherine Jenkins.

:29:04.:29:10.

She is so approachable and friendly as well as being talented. The

:29:10.:29:13.

newest of the grandstands here at Epsom. That's sold out. The Queen's

:29:14.:29:18.

stand is sold out as well. All of those who've dressed up in their

:29:18.:29:23.

finery are here to enjoy the Derby. The betting ring is teeming with

:29:23.:29:27.

people. All having bets in the supports races and piling on to

:29:28.:29:33.

whatever is their fancy in the Investec Derby. We have a very

:29:33.:29:37.

short price, odds-on favourite in Camelot. What sums are being bet

:29:37.:29:47.
:29:47.:29:47.

and what can we expect from the Good to see you, you have just got

:29:47.:29:50.

that Corinne Bach your face after Reading coming back into the

:29:50.:29:58.

We will be happier when we beat Everton! What about today's racing?

:29:58.:30:03.

Absolutely fantastic, it is the best day of the whole year. I love

:30:03.:30:07.

the Derby, hopefully we will see a wonderful horse. One to that the

:30:07.:30:14.

supporting card? It is very tricky. There are a lot of handicaps. Spoke

:30:14.:30:19.

To Carlo, I saw him at Newmarket, he finished a long way clear of the

:30:19.:30:24.

others, I think he will run well, a decent bet today. The dash is a

:30:24.:30:29.

great race, the draw is going to be important. I have got a sneaking

:30:29.:30:34.

feeling for Jamesway, he has run in this race a few times. If you get

:30:34.:30:39.

the breaks, he will go very well. The Derby itself, what you make are

:30:39.:30:43.

that? Hopefully we will see a wonderful horse Camelot was

:30:43.:30:47.

brilliant at the Guineas, but he was not quite trained for that day.

:30:47.:30:51.

I think he will be a lot better today than he was that day. I do

:30:51.:30:55.

not think the trip will be a problem. I nailed my colours to

:30:55.:31:00.

Bonfire, and I am sticking with him, but I'm very wary of Camelot. Is

:31:00.:31:04.

something special. What will Clare Balding be like if Bonfire wins?

:31:04.:31:11.

have had a spread bet on the tears, but I cannot tell you how much!

:31:11.:31:18.

They were offering 66-1 for me to kiss you, Willie, a great price, we

:31:18.:31:22.

will do it right now! Out on the course is where we find Rishi

:31:22.:31:27.

Persad. Today's Investec Derby is expected to be a significant test

:31:27.:31:31.

of stamina, sometimes ensign is mistakenly thought to be a sharp

:31:31.:31:37.

test over a mile and a half, but the standard time for an average

:31:37.:31:41.

horse over the distance is actually slower than racecourses at the

:31:41.:31:46.

Curragh, York and Newmarket. It is expected to be a test of stamina,

:31:46.:31:50.

so the horses will have to see this out, the best Stayers will win. One

:31:50.:31:54.

factor that plays an important part is the camber, this bloke in the

:31:54.:31:59.

home straight where tired horses drift over towards the inside in a

:31:59.:32:03.

knackered sort of way. They roll over to find you, make. If somebody

:32:03.:32:07.

said to you, we will have the world's greatest horse race over a

:32:07.:32:11.

mile and a half, and we will have it at Epsom, if this track had not

:32:11.:32:15.

been here, you would say they were bonkers. It is a true test of the

:32:15.:32:20.

thoroughbreds. It is indeed, today's race looks like it will be

:32:20.:32:24.

run on fast ground. They put three millimetres of water on the course

:32:24.:32:29.

overnight. There was an insignificant reign. What you make

:32:29.:32:35.

our conditions? Good to firm, a level playing-field for everyone.

:32:35.:32:39.

It is not going to suit everyone, but Camelot will be happy enough.

:32:39.:32:45.

Do you think he will win? Yes. going to go for Astrology. The only

:32:45.:32:49.

problem in flat races with a field this small his tactical, who is

:32:49.:32:54.

going to make the running? Where will Camelot said? It depends on

:32:54.:32:58.

the pace, doesn't it? If the pace is not strong enough, it becomes

:32:58.:33:02.

very tactical. Like yesterday in the Oaks, they were climbing all

:33:02.:33:08.

over each other. If they do not go fast enough, he will have to look

:33:08.:33:13.

out. He might get trapped, he might not be able to get out when he

:33:13.:33:17.

wants to. But they have got another runner in the race, and they have

:33:17.:33:22.

got control of the race. Ryan Moore will be told what to do, but I

:33:22.:33:27.

would imagine, I don't know, but I would imagine he will be told to go

:33:27.:33:32.

out there and just let his horse used his stride and go a nice

:33:32.:33:37.

gallop and let him go, a nice rhythm, let it keep on increasing,

:33:37.:33:41.

and that will help the other horse as well. It is the right way for

:33:41.:33:45.

Astrology to be ridden as well, because that is how he was ridden

:33:45.:33:50.

at Chester. You never know, Astrology might not get caught.

:33:50.:33:54.

agree, that could be the danger. Thought Worthy will be prominent as

:33:54.:34:00.

well, Bonfire will be up in the first three or four. He might stay.

:34:00.:34:04.

The sharpest acceleration has been from Main Sequence in winning the

:34:04.:34:09.

Lingfield Derby Trial. Ted Durcan is with Ian Bartlett. Good

:34:09.:34:13.

afternoon, everybody. Your 5th Derby ride, but the best one you

:34:13.:34:18.

have had a chance on so far. Absolutely, a lovely horse on the

:34:18.:34:23.

way up. He has to pick up the Anne Davies afternoon, but he has done

:34:23.:34:28.

everything we have asked of him up until now. We know exactly where we

:34:28.:34:32.

are within, it is a big stage, a lovely horse, lovely ride, I am

:34:32.:34:37.

excited, let's hope we had some luck and let's hope it is a strong

:34:37.:34:41.

race, and even raised with no excuses on behalf of anyone. Yeah,

:34:41.:34:46.

exciting. He must have improved very quickly this year, he started

:34:46.:34:50.

in the handicap, he won the Lingfield Derby Trial, has improved

:34:50.:34:57.

since then? He has, but in the mornings he is the most lazy horse.

:34:57.:35:02.

Is not a flashy horse at all. He rarely shows you anything. But he

:35:02.:35:06.

has strengthened up a lot, he is great mentally, and each ran he has

:35:06.:35:11.

sharpened up and hardened up a bit. Look, this is like a stack up, we

:35:11.:35:17.

are hopeful. A good gallop would suit you, you have no doubts about

:35:17.:35:24.

him staying. He is a horse that has been held up in his races. He likes

:35:24.:35:27.

to warming to it slowly. I would hope that it is an even run race.

:35:27.:35:31.

Best of luck. Thank you very much, thank you.

:35:31.:35:37.

A lovely guy, Ted Durcan, a big chance for him on the horse, Main

:35:37.:35:47.
:35:47.:35:55.

the winner of the Dante Stakes, a very good trial for the Derby.

:35:55.:35:59.

Jimmy Fortune rides them. Joseph O'Brien, 19 years old, bidding to

:35:59.:36:04.

become the 4th teenager to win the race after Lester Piggott, Walter

:36:04.:36:09.

Swinburn and Mickael Barzalona. He rides Camelot for Aidan O'Brien,

:36:09.:36:13.

the 2000 Guineas winner. The last 2000 Guineas winner to win here was

:36:13.:36:19.

Sea The Stars. Hayley Turner's first ride in the big race on

:36:19.:36:22.

Cavaleiro. Main Sequence and Ted Durcan from David Lanigan, the

:36:22.:36:28.

assistant trainer to Henry Cecil, now training in his own right.

:36:28.:36:31.

Mickdaam gives Paul Hanagan, the champion jockey, his first ever

:36:31.:36:37.

Derby ride for Richard Fahey. We then have Minimise Risk, also

:36:37.:36:40.

trained by Andrew Balding, a beautiful horse did not handle the

:36:40.:36:44.

ground at Chester last time. It will be a different affair on

:36:44.:36:48.

faster ground here. Jamie Spencer riding for his Retained owner.

:36:48.:36:52.

Rugged Cross, a rare Derby runner for Henry Candy, he does not put

:36:52.:36:58.

many horses in his race. Thought were the could be a St Leger horse,

:36:58.:37:05.

you never know. -- Thought Worthy, a lovely, lovely horse trained by

:37:05.:37:09.

John Gosden and ridden by William Buick. That is the field, small but

:37:09.:37:14.

select, and this is the betting. Camelot is a very strong favourite

:37:14.:37:24.
:37:24.:37:37.

One of the most interested observers in the paddock beforehand

:37:37.:37:40.

will be Her Majesty the Queen, because there is nothing she enjoys

:37:40.:37:43.

more, if she owns one of the runners, but looking at other

:37:43.:37:48.

beautifully bred horses, the breeding of horses is part science

:37:48.:37:52.

and part art, a huge intellectual challenge follows to try to mix the

:37:52.:37:57.

right bloodlines, and that is part of the reason that this sport is so

:37:57.:37:59.

popular with the Royal Family and a particular passion for Her Majesty

:37:59.:38:09.
:38:09.:38:11.

I think a love of racing is so good for the sport generally. You cannot

:38:12.:38:15.

underestimate the value of her support for horseracing.

:38:15.:38:19.

Majesty the Queen making her way to the attic... It is part of the

:38:20.:38:24.

tradition, it brings great glamour to the sport, and also she is a

:38:24.:38:28.

very knowledgeable Queen about racing itself. It is a really right

:38:28.:38:33.

royal occasion. It is an honour to have her involved, and we are all

:38:33.:38:39.

very lucky that she has got a strong passion for it. Generous!

:38:39.:38:46.

The Queen. I had seen her chat to stable lads and girls like her best

:38:46.:38:53.

friend. It is an honour for me to ride for her, and it is just good

:38:53.:38:56.

for racing in general that he has such a keen interest. And long may

:38:56.:39:01.

it last. People are truly appreciative of what she has done

:39:01.:39:09.

and continues to do. Generous is the winner! My horse! This is the

:39:09.:39:17.

lovely thing about racing, horses bring us all together. And she, of

:39:17.:39:23.

course, has been an enormous help in that way, and I think everyone

:39:23.:39:31.

involved in racing is just so grateful that she loves it so much.

:39:31.:39:38.

He was going to cry there! My dad getting a bit emotional there! This

:39:38.:39:42.

stand was opened by Her Majesty 20 years ago, and that is the royal

:39:42.:39:45.

balcony, the royal party enjoying their lunch at the moment, but we

:39:45.:39:50.

are almost up and running because our first race is due are very

:39:50.:39:57.

shortly, the Diamond Jubilee Great atmosphere building up here

:39:57.:40:02.

at the top of the stand. I can look out over the downs, and it is a

:40:02.:40:07.

wonderful sight. The runners going to pose for our first race, four of

:40:07.:40:11.

the jockeys who are in the Derby are in this race, and it will be

:40:11.:40:15.

good for them to get a feel of the atmosphere, the day and the ground.

:40:15.:40:25.
:40:25.:40:25.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:40:25.:41:05.

The manners and riders... -- 10. So this opening Diamond Jubilee

:41:06.:41:15.
:41:16.:41:34.

Stakes, your favourite is Grandeur and earlier, 17-2 now. -- Tom sea

:41:34.:41:41.

Cantering down to the start with Hayley Turner on board, a big day

:41:41.:41:45.

with Cavaleiro still to come and for Andrew Balding, who has Bonfire

:41:45.:41:48.

and Minimise Risk in the Derby. He had a double here yesterday, the

:41:48.:41:52.

horses are in great form, and this is one who has plenty of promise

:41:52.:41:59.

and has form with Main Sequence, pretty unlucky to bump into him, to

:41:59.:42:05.

be honest, last season. He has been third over a mile-and-a-quarter on

:42:05.:42:08.

his reappearance at Newmarket on soft ground. Different conditions

:42:08.:42:15.

today, but he will have a decent enough chance, Willie. He is

:42:15.:42:20.

progressing, improving overtime, and he just needs to improve a

:42:20.:42:27.

little bit more. Basically, he has been running so well, but obviously

:42:27.:42:32.

your brother has got him really sharp for today, is that correct?

:42:32.:42:37.

would hope so. A big team of people, the owners, will be cheering on

:42:37.:42:43.

Open Water. He will run better than he has done before. Well, he has

:42:43.:42:48.

run pretty well before, but anyway, this is the big danger, Grandeur,

:42:48.:42:52.

William Buick on board, an impressive winner on his first

:42:52.:42:58.

attempt at Goodwood last time. he won at Goodwood last time,

:42:58.:43:02.

obviously another horse that is going forwards, carrying nine-stone

:43:02.:43:06.

three today. You would have to think that he would be a horse that

:43:06.:43:11.

has got a very big chance, and all the punters actually thinks so,

:43:11.:43:15.

because he is the favourite. Do you think the draw has any

:43:15.:43:22.

significance? Grandeur at a disadvantage in 13? Absolutely, on

:43:22.:43:26.

the outside. Put it this way, you have to go and work, use up petrol

:43:26.:43:30.

to get a good position, and on his racecourse you do not want to be

:43:30.:43:36.

going around three and four wide it all away. He would be preferably

:43:36.:43:41.

one of two off the inside rail, and if you are drawn on the inside, you

:43:41.:43:45.

jump out and you can just sit there and say petrol, you know, save

:43:45.:43:51.

energy, whereas on the outside you use it up. Let's have a look at a

:43:51.:43:56.

horse right in the middle, Wrotham Heath, trained by Henry Cecil, who

:43:56.:44:03.

has had Derby winners on four different occasions. Tom Queally,

:44:03.:44:08.

the same colours, the same jockey, the same train as Frankel. This is

:44:08.:44:14.

a horse that can be fairly keen, but good form, finishing second in

:44:14.:44:20.

the Dante after Bonfire. Yes, he has got very good form, he is a

:44:20.:44:27.

horse that has got to be settled. Just sweating between his hind legs,

:44:27.:44:34.

and it is not a warm day today. is a day when horses should not be

:44:34.:44:39.

sweating, there is a very chilly wind. That is Fennell Bay going

:44:39.:44:43.

forwards into stall number one. Fennell Bay representing the Mark

:44:43.:44:53.
:44:53.:44:57.

Johnston team, used to be with favourite at 7-2.

:44:57.:45:05.

Spoke To Carlo is named after the guy who looks after the hospitality

:45:05.:45:09.

in the suite, because he is called Carlo.

:45:09.:45:18.

We have a decent-sized field. Two non-runners. 11 runners in total.

:45:18.:45:24.

Let's join Jim. There is Ryan Moore on Mister Music.

:45:24.:45:28.

He will be riding Astrology later on in the Derby.

:45:28.:45:36.

He won it two years ago on Workforce. The atmosphere is

:45:36.:45:41.

building here. The tension is building. A great scene across the

:45:41.:45:45.

Downs. They are set and ready for the Diamond Jubilee Handicap, a

:45:45.:45:55.
:45:55.:45:55.

mile and a quarter. They stand... Spoke spoing is restless in six.

:45:55.:46:05.
:46:05.:46:06.

-- Spoke To Carlo is restless in six.

:46:06.:46:10.

They're off! In the centre first away position very quickly into

:46:10.:46:17.

surprise and Fennell Bay was smartly away. Open Water vying for

:46:17.:46:21.

the early lead with The Giving Tree in the orange cap and Fennell Bay,

:46:21.:46:25.

who is holding the inside rail. A line of three. The pace is furious.

:46:25.:46:32.

In behind them in fourth is Position followed by Entifaadha.

:46:32.:46:37.

The noseband and black cap from Wrotham Heath. Back is Grandeur.

:46:38.:46:42.

They are followed by Spoke To Carlo on the inside of runners. Well back

:46:42.:46:46.

is Blades Lad, who is out the back, in company with Star Date. Giving

:46:46.:46:52.

them a start is Mister Music. Downhill to Tattenham Corner. The

:46:52.:46:56.

leader is Open Water. Out in front bay length or so to in second place

:46:56.:47:04.

The Giving Tree. Tucked behind them is Fennell Bay. Then Position and

:47:04.:47:07.

then Entifaadha. They are in advance of Wrotham Heath. Further

:47:08.:47:12.

back is Spoke To Carlo on the inside rail. Eight lengths off the

:47:12.:47:18.

lead from Grandeur. Back in the field and trying to pull is Star

:47:18.:47:22.

Date, from Blades Lad and Mister Music. Racing down to Tattenham

:47:22.:47:26.

Corner and the leader is still Open Water. Open Water bidding to make

:47:26.:47:30.

every yard here by three parts. On the outside of The Giving Tree and

:47:30.:47:35.

in third tucked away behind them is Fennell Bay, followed by Wrotham

:47:35.:47:41.

Heath. There's a faller! It is Star Date. Star Date and Darren Egan is

:47:41.:47:45.

on the floor. They've got just over two furlongs to travel. The leader

:47:45.:47:55.

on the -- the leader is Open Water. On the nearside in the pink cap and

:47:55.:47:59.

then Spoke To Carlo. They race with a furlong left. Wrotham Heath is in

:47:59.:48:03.

the lead from Open Water. Spoke To Carlo and Grandeur down the outside.

:48:03.:48:07.

It is Wrotham Heath trying to hold on. Wrotham Heath just the leader.

:48:07.:48:12.

Grandeur coming at him. Wrotham Heath a neck in front. He just

:48:12.:48:16.

holds on to beat Grandeur. In third is Spoke To Carlo, followed in

:48:16.:48:23.

fourth by Open Water and then a gap to Fennell Bay. Further back is

:48:23.:48:27.

Blades Lad followed by The Giving Tree and then Position, Entifaadha,

:48:27.:48:34.

then Mister Music. The riderless Star Date is careering down the

:48:35.:48:39.

track. Appears to be OK, the horse. We'll have to check and see how

:48:39.:48:43.

Darren Egan is after that fall. The winner is number five, Wrotham

:48:43.:48:51.

Heath, ridden by Tom Queally and owned by Prince Abdulla. Second is

:48:51.:49:01.
:49:01.:49:01.

Grandeur ridden by William Buick. Third is -- fourth is Open Water.

:49:01.:49:07.

Wrotham Heath got there by a head from Grandeur, who looked to be a

:49:08.:49:14.

danger. The jockey is still on the ground, I'm told. Darren Egan. A

:49:14.:49:19.

heavy fall. Spoke To Carlo in third. In fourth is Open Water, who was

:49:19.:49:24.

bidding to make every yard for Hayley Turner. A gap to Fennell Bay

:49:24.:49:30.

in fifth. A long, long gap to the others. The sixth looks like Mister

:49:30.:49:34.

Music, maybe just ahead of The Giving Tree. They are followed by

:49:34.:49:41.

Position. Still coming in at long intervals. Entifaadha. A strong

:49:41.:49:46.

gallop early. There is one more left to come. Wrotham Heath on the

:49:46.:49:52.

outside with the pink cap. The famous Khalid Abdullah colours, who

:49:52.:50:00.

have been carried to victory here on Derby Day on several occasions.

:50:00.:50:06.

Quest For Fame and Workforce are a couple who come to mind. A neck

:50:07.:50:11.

between second and third. The horse appears to be OK, Star Date.

:50:11.:50:20.

Trained by Gerrard Butler. 27.01 is the time. As you can see down the

:50:20.:50:25.

track, the ambulance attendants are with Darren Egan. The screens are

:50:25.:50:34.

up. This is not necessarily a sign that it is totally serious. It is

:50:34.:50:39.

obviously of some concern or much concern, but it is a safeguard. It

:50:39.:50:44.

is what they do automatically. To the protect them from the view of

:50:44.:50:49.

the public. The winner is Wrotham Heath, ridden by Queally Queen

:50:49.:50:59.

Mother. And Wrotham Heath, just a little reluctant, it is quite a

:50:59.:51:05.

scary winner's enclosure. Let's look at the reason that Star Date

:51:05.:51:10.

fell. We know the horse is alright and we hope very much that Darren

:51:10.:51:17.

Egan who rode him is. Willie, when horses are tight like this, if you

:51:17.:51:23.

clip heels you can come straight down. Oh! I don't know how he

:51:23.:51:28.

clipped heel there is but he must have done. He was in between two

:51:28.:51:35.

horses. That's unusual. It does look as though it was a clip of

:51:35.:51:41.

heels, but he must have clipped the horse's front leg, not behind. It

:51:41.:51:46.

looks like a clipped heel but this horse, the winner here, Wrotham

:51:46.:51:54.

Heath. He is settling beautifully. He gave him a lovely ride. Grandeur

:51:54.:51:59.

is trying to catch him but failing to do so. A tough performance from

:51:59.:52:03.

this horse, who clearly is going on to better things. Tom Queally is

:52:03.:52:07.

the man on board. I was saying to Tom what a brave

:52:07.:52:12.

performance. I thought Grandeur was going to pass you but he stuck his

:52:12.:52:15.

neck out. They were stacking up one by one to have a pop at him. In

:52:15.:52:19.

fairness to the horse he was strong in the line. I don't know whether

:52:19.:52:24.

this is the ideal place for him but he won well despite it. Do you

:52:24.:52:31.

think there'll be a radiation for him at Royal Ascot? -- A race for

:52:31.:52:37.

him at Royal Ascot? We'll see what Henry thinks. What are conditions

:52:37.:52:44.

like on the course? It is riding well. He did a good job. A quick

:52:44.:52:52.

word. We are speculating as to what race he may head for if he goes to

:52:52.:52:56.

Royal Ascot, Wrotham Heath. That's a good question. We talked about

:52:56.:53:02.

the group 3 mile and a quarter. I don't know. I think, Tom said he

:53:02.:53:07.

won despite the track, so he's got to improve a bit more to go from

:53:07.:53:11.

handicap to group racing. It's a nice idea. There is no way we can

:53:12.:53:17.

conduct an interview without asking the wellbeing of the mighty Frankel.

:53:17.:53:24.

He is in good form. He worked nicely this morning. Shane rode him.

:53:24.:53:30.

Very pleased. Seems happy. We'll see you on 9th June. Good to talk

:53:30.:53:35.

to you. There is the winner, Wrotham Heath.

:53:35.:53:43.

Tom Queally's 23rd winner of the season, is Sir Henry Cecil's 16th.

:53:43.:53:51.

Tom Queally coming back into the jockeys' room. Out on the track

:53:51.:53:57.

those screens are still erected. That's automatic procedure these

:53:57.:54:04.

days. We hope that Darren Egan is OK. We hope to get word of his

:54:04.:54:13.

condition as soon as possible. So, Wrotham Heath is the winner. As

:54:13.:54:17.

Clare said, quite a daunting, quite an unusual winner's enclosure in

:54:17.:54:22.

front of the stand. You see all those faces there. It will be even

:54:22.:54:30.

more packed when it comes to the big race at 4 o'clock.

:54:30.:54:36.

Let's check the result of the opening race of Investec Derby Day

:54:36.:54:41.

2012. Wrotham Heath wins at 5-1. Second

:54:41.:54:48.

was Grandeur, and third Spoke To Carlo. Let's look back at this mile

:54:48.:54:52.

and a quarter race, which is always a competitive and good affair.

:54:52.:55:00.

Plenty of future winners have come out of this. This is Sir Mark

:55:00.:55:07.

Prescott's first race of the season. Ryan Moore was squeezed out there

:55:07.:55:12.

in the yellow of stall ten. Not done any favours. From then on he

:55:13.:55:19.

always seemed to be struggling. then he fades out of the contest

:55:19.:55:25.

the last two furlongs. We'll look at a few horses to watch out for

:55:25.:55:31.

next time. The two which close strongly are the light blue and the

:55:31.:55:36.

red cap. I want tow watch what happens to Paul Hanagan's mount on

:55:36.:55:40.

the inside. The horse in front in the orange cap is drifting to the

:55:40.:55:49.

rails as he gets tired. Paul is squeezed out of it here. He has to

:55:49.:55:54.

snatch up and in the end his race is over. But up at the front end

:55:54.:56:00.

Grandeur and Wrotham Heath have fought a Titanic duel and Wrotham

:56:00.:56:07.

Heath had enough left in the tank to get him home. Open Water. All of

:56:07.:56:14.

these horses win races. Tom Queally was saying they all came at him but

:56:14.:56:18.

they are all responding. They are all going on the to handicap wins

:56:18.:56:23.

aren't they? Without a doubt. out for them at Ascot and Newmarket

:56:23.:56:25.

in the summer. There are plenty of win ers in that.

:56:25.:56:29.

The crowds here are enjoying the start of the Diamond Jubilee. It's

:56:29.:56:33.

a huge year this in Great Britain and for London, with the Olympics

:56:33.:56:39.

and the Paralympics coming up. The lomp torch has been visiting

:56:39.:56:46.

various -- Olympic torch has been visiting various racecourses.

:56:46.:56:53.

At Chester there were 25,000 people there and Zara Phillips has also

:56:53.:56:59.

been carrying the torch. It will be visiting close to you, so do check

:56:59.:57:03.

the BBC website to find out when it is coming to your town or home

:57:03.:57:07.

village. We shall continue to look ahead to the Investec Derby,

:57:07.:57:11.

because this year one of the most engage and impressive stories has

:57:11.:57:18.

been the progress of Camelot. What a responsibility for Joseph O'Brien,

:57:18.:57:23.

the 19-year-old son of Aidan O'Brien. On the far left is Seamie

:57:23.:57:33.

Heffernan, who yesterday won the Oaks for Aidan on Wa s. He is there

:57:33.:57:38.

to offer his advice. Is this a walking race? They are walking

:57:38.:57:42.

pretty fast aren't they? In the 2930 years that the Derby has been

:57:43.:57:47.

run, never before has a father trained the horse ridden by his son

:57:47.:57:50.

that's won the Derby. We could witness a moment of history at 4

:57:50.:58:00.
:58:00.:58:03.

o'clock today. o'clock today.

:58:03.:58:06.

The first thing you see when you drive through the gates of

:58:06.:58:12.

Ballydoyle is this statue of Nijinksky, the horse that he is

:58:12.:58:18.

trying to emulate. For young Joseph O'Brien, he's trying to win his own

:58:18.:58:25.

legend. Three years ago you ran Coat Of Arms, now you've ridden

:58:25.:58:30.

three Guinea winners and now the Derby. If I take a step back

:58:30.:58:35.

sometimes, to realise how well things have gone and the position

:58:35.:58:38.

I'm in, there is always going to be plenty of people saying this, that

:58:38.:58:42.

and the other, but there is always a certain amount of pressure on

:58:42.:58:46.

anyone riding in any big race. I've been lucky that tsunami of those

:58:46.:58:52.

have paid off. Joseph has been reared from the time he was a baby

:58:52.:58:58.

like he's been here. It is, he's never known or done or seen

:58:59.:59:03.

anything else from the time he has been able to waufpblgt

:59:03.:59:13.
:59:13.:59:15.

It is Father's Day at the Breeder's Cup.

:59:16.:59:20.

I've been lucky to ride with some of the best riders in the world. I

:59:20.:59:25.

have been working with them since I was very small. I big thanks to

:59:25.:59:29.

them. I don't think that anyone else could have been exposed to

:59:29.:59:34.

riding more than anyone than he has been at the age of 19.

:59:34.:59:41.

Last year, I never forget the shock when there was that win at the

:59:41.:59:45.

Irish guineas. The smile on your face? No words can describe the

:59:45.:59:50.

amount of satisfaction we get from that for us all. It bring it is all

:59:50.:59:56.

closer, I suppose. As a family you seem close. You won the Irish Cup

:59:56.:00:00.

you were there, when you won the guineas you were there, is it

:00:00.:00:04.

something that you celebrate together? That depends on Joseph.

:00:04.:00:08.

If he is doing a race the next day, it is normally a quiet one.

:00:08.:00:14.

What about dad? If I make an error it is my fault. I have to see what

:00:14.:00:18.

I have done wrong and try to lever let it happen again.

:00:18.:00:24.

I am not that critical of him. He is critical of himself, like from

:00:24.:00:29.

the time he has been very small, he tells me about how things are right

:00:29.:00:37.

or wrong. What about Anne-Marie? She probably

:00:37.:00:40.

worries more than I do, but that is natural.

:00:40.:00:49.

What about Nan? What does she say if you are beaten? Not a lot.

:00:49.:00:53.

Usually the silent treatment! COMMENTATOR: Camelot just in front.

:00:53.:00:59.

It is a desperate bid to the line. It is a win for Aidan O'Brien once

:00:59.:01:03.

again, ridden by his young son, Joseph O'Brien.

:01:03.:01:08.

How is it then for you, trainer of the Derby favourite, but also a

:01:09.:01:14.

jockey of one of the rides? It is an incredible feeling, but a

:01:14.:01:18.

feeling of gratitude that we are in the position to have the horse and

:01:18.:01:22.

that Joseph is hopefully going to be able to ride it.

:01:22.:01:25.

It is a race that everyone dreams of winning from the time that they

:01:25.:01:35.
:01:35.:01:36.

can walk. It would be a dream come true.

:01:36.:01:40.

It's an old head on young, young shoulders. You can see there has

:01:40.:01:46.

they continue the fast-track walk around the course. You can see how

:01:46.:01:51.

tall Joseph f is, obviously pairing him down to minimum weight, it is a

:01:51.:01:57.

hard task, but so far, so good. How big is the responsibility carrying

:01:57.:02:02.

with Camelot now? He is so young. He reminds me of Lester Piggott. He

:02:02.:02:07.

just shuts everything out and gets the job done. He has, he did so

:02:07.:02:12.

with the win with St Nicholas Abbey. We will see him coming up in the

:02:12.:02:17.

race after next. It is sometimes worse for the people around, for

:02:17.:02:23.

his mother, brothers, sisters, what about wives of some of the older

:02:23.:02:29.

jockeys riding in the race? Jimmy Fortune's wife, Jan is now with

:02:29.:02:34.

Sonali Shah. I have the good fortune of being

:02:34.:02:41.

with the wife of Jimmy Fortune. Here is Jan and his two sons. We

:02:41.:02:45.

wand to -- want to know, what is it like being with the family of

:02:45.:02:52.

someone who is riding in the Derby? It is a very, very special day. We

:02:52.:02:56.

are delighted to be here. Can you watch the race? He will be

:02:56.:03:00.

fine. We will just watch the race and hope it works out.

:03:00.:03:06.

When you are at home and Jimmy has been in a race, when he calls you,

:03:06.:03:10.

do you know from the tone how it has gone? Definitely the tone. I

:03:10.:03:16.

say any winners, it is yes or no, but once he is home it is fine.

:03:16.:03:21.

Kieron, are you nervous watching your dad or proud? Nervous and

:03:21.:03:25.

proud. I can't imagine what he is feeling like at moment.

:03:25.:03:31.

You are excited for him? Yes, I am. It is a dream and it is kind of

:03:31.:03:34.

weird. How loud do you scream, Joe, when

:03:34.:03:40.

you dad is out there? Really loud. As loud as we can. Do you think

:03:40.:03:45.

that brings him a little bit of luck? It does, yes.

:03:45.:03:51.

Good luck to your dad later on. It is great talking to you. There is

:03:51.:03:55.

Jimmy watching them being bir viewed.

:03:55.:03:59.

-- interviewed. He is thinking, "Oh, no, what has she said?" We wish

:03:59.:04:04.

them well and hope that they have a terrific day out with the family. A

:04:04.:04:09.

great day to be here. So what does make the perfect jockey? What

:04:09.:04:16.

qualities do you need to come here and support the horse and be the

:04:16.:04:26.
:04:26.:04:41.

best? What pandemics the perfect jockey? Someone that likes driving,

:04:41.:04:47.

someone that has no life, what so ever. Wait clean living, hard work,

:04:47.:04:51.

head down. Stay out of the nightclubs. Someone that is light,

:04:51.:04:55.

strong, with the right attitude for the job.

:04:55.:04:59.

White you need the balance, the knowledge, the feel, the hands, the

:04:59.:05:04.

coolness of the mind. You have to be as strong as you can, as fit as

:05:04.:05:12.

you can to win the title weight. Tactical awareness, nerves of steel.

:05:12.:05:16.

It is down to the jockey's confidence. Looking forward to

:05:16.:05:23.

getting better. Improving yourself. Obviously natural ability. You need

:05:23.:05:26.

an idea about the horses around you and to be aware of what is

:05:27.:05:30.

happening. You have to do your homework, to

:05:30.:05:36.

look at the races, to see what the pace is. You can prepare, but you

:05:36.:05:39.

never know what is going to go on out there.

:05:39.:05:44.

When the plan does not go to plan, then the plan B is the next one.

:05:44.:05:48.

The first job is to get on the horses, but you can have the best

:05:48.:05:53.

jockey in a Formula One race, but if he is driving a Formula Two car,

:05:53.:05:59.

it will not do him any good. Well, standing to my left are two

:05:59.:06:03.

jockeys, close to being perfect, William Buick and Jimmy Fortune. Of

:06:03.:06:08.

course, you are not perfect unless you have won the Derby. Bo both are

:06:08.:06:16.

looking foyer their first success. William Buick, John Gosden, does he

:06:16.:06:21.

give you every hope that your horse today can punt a big performance?

:06:21.:06:26.

think that he can. It has turned into a won-horse show with Camelot,

:06:26.:06:31.

but I think he will run his race, run well. I think that he will stay.

:06:31.:06:35.

Hopefully, he will be experienced enough to handle it all.

:06:35.:06:40.

Just, hopefully he will not be caught out by the undulations.

:06:40.:06:44.

This is your third ride in the Derby, are you feeling more

:06:44.:06:49.

comfortable in the scenario? fairness, it is my third ride, but

:06:49.:06:54.

I have had three good rides without being outstanding. It is nice to be

:06:54.:06:58.

able to ride in the Derby with a horse that has a worthy place in

:06:58.:07:03.

the race. Jimmy, your eighth ride in the

:07:03.:07:07.

Derby, is this horse one of the best you have come to sit on?

:07:07.:07:12.

Judging on so far, yes. A lot of people have made or

:07:12.:07:15.

brought his temperament into question, he can be playful, he can

:07:15.:07:19.

look a little awkward, on the way down to the start or before the

:07:19.:07:23.

race do you have concerns about that today? No, I don't. He is not

:07:23.:07:27.

a horse that worries. He does not get himself into a state. He does

:07:27.:07:32.

not sweat. He does nothing that gets himself too worked up. You

:07:32.:07:38.

know, everything he does he does as he is a little monkey, he is

:07:38.:07:43.

playful more than anything else. He is a Jack the Lad, but in no way is

:07:43.:07:47.

it going to affect his race in my opinion.

:07:47.:07:51.

A good friend of mine was saying that running the Derby here in

:07:51.:08:00.

Epsom in the middle of a fun fair is like running a 100m final in the

:08:00.:08:04.

Nottingham carnival? Is it difficult? It does get a lot of

:08:04.:08:08.

horses excited and upset, but that will not worry my guy.he would be

:08:08.:08:13.

the same if there were 100,000 people here or nobody here. That is

:08:13.:08:19.

not a concern on my part. Jimmy, William, the best of luck.

:08:19.:08:25.

Let's go to find Nick. I think he is in the jockey's weighing room.

:08:25.:08:30.

Here, it is like a jump jockey's changing room.

:08:30.:08:36.

There are the valets. There is Rhine Moore. He has a guide ride on

:08:36.:08:41.

Astrology. Colin O'Donoghue is very much one

:08:41.:08:46.

of the backroom team. He road Treasure Beach last year.

:08:46.:08:51.

He has a good ride this year for John Gosden, hoping to do better,

:08:51.:08:56.

he was unlucky yesterday. Paul Hanagan is there. Kieren Fallon, a

:08:56.:09:00.

three-time Derby winner with no ride in the race this year! And

:09:00.:09:05.

Jamie Spencer coming from the tearoom, he has a good ride in the

:09:05.:09:12.

Derby, Jamie, what do you reckon, nice to be in the race? Would not

:09:12.:09:17.

mind being on Camelot. There you go, Jamie Spencer,

:09:17.:09:25.

Camelot?! News on the jockey, Egan, there was a fall. The paramedics

:09:25.:09:31.

have loaded him into the ambulance, he is to be taken for further

:09:31.:09:36.

assessment. Willie Carson has gone to grab a word with Gerrard Butler.

:09:36.:09:44.

We hope that Darren Egan will be OK. It mean as slight delay to the next

:09:44.:09:52.

race. It is due off at 14.05pm. The jockeys have made their way through

:09:52.:09:56.

to talk to the trainers. It is the Investec Woodcote Stakes over six

:09:56.:10:06.
:10:06.:10:06.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:10:06.:11:03.

furlongs. leg up shortly. That is Euxton Hall.

:11:03.:11:08.

Paul Hanagan taking the ride on this two-year-old colt. William you

:11:08.:11:15.

went off to a have a chat with Gerrard Butler, what news of Darren

:11:15.:11:21.

Egan who had the fall? He is fine. He is breath lastless, what have

:11:21.:11:25.

you. He complained about his back. Basically, that is why it is taking

:11:25.:11:30.

a long time to put him on the ambulance. They would not take

:11:30.:11:34.

chances. He did complain about a pain in his back. So they were

:11:34.:11:39.

taking all precautions. The ambulance, actually, it went

:11:39.:11:43.

quickly past us. I would have thought that he is going to be, he

:11:43.:11:47.

is definitely going to be OK. Put it that way.

:11:47.:11:51.

An unusual situation in flat-racing, but a reminder of how dangerous

:11:51.:11:57.

this game is, you can never predict anything with horses. How the

:11:57.:12:01.

jockeys go out there, Susan Tsvangirai getting a leg-up on

:12:01.:12:07.

Heavy Metal. All of them knowing, that especially jump jockeys, but

:12:07.:12:11.

flat jockeys knowing that they cannot get full of themselves, my

:12:11.:12:16.

word, you are brought down to earth with a big bump.

:12:16.:12:22.

When you are a flat jockey, when you are riding00 or 300 horses a

:12:22.:12:26.

year you expect to get one or two falls per season.

:12:26.:12:34.

This team of Luke Morrison, they were teaming up yesterday. This is

:12:34.:12:39.

their horse, Liber in the Investec Woodcote Stakes.

:12:39.:12:45.

He won on Carlisle on fast ground five days ago.

:12:45.:12:51.

He veered right a furlong from home. With the crowds here, Luke must be

:12:51.:12:57.

on him properly to ensure he does not do that again.

:12:57.:13:02.

These are babies. They will have to come down this sharp hill and turn

:13:02.:13:07.

around Tattenham Corner at a rate of naughts. These young horses,

:13:07.:13:10.

some of them will be going up the hill, some of them coming down the

:13:11.:13:20.
:13:21.:13:22.

hill. And there is a fill y. A ride for

:13:22.:13:29.

Kevin Ryan. She improved on her debut. This will be a hard race for

:13:29.:13:35.

her, but Kevin Ryan did win it in 2006. Let's hand over to Rishi

:13:35.:13:45.
:13:45.:13:53.

cases of interference. There were a couple of bans. The rider of The

:13:53.:14:01.

Giving Tree got five days for his riding. Tom Queally and O'Neill

:14:01.:14:11.
:14:11.:14:30.

-- picking up suspensions. Two jockeys picked up suspensions in

:14:30.:14:37.

the Oaks yesterday, Joseph O'Brien and Daryl Holland. It was a rough

:14:37.:14:42.

race. Nobody would make a nice gallop of it and everyone was

:14:42.:14:52.
:14:52.:14:54.

jockeying for position. The rider of Maybe got into trouble. The

:14:54.:15:04.
:15:04.:15:06.

Fugue was very much interfered with and the other filly... Co --

:15:06.:15:12.

coquette. The fugue was unlucky not to win the, as after two-and-a-half

:15:13.:15:16.

furlongs she was down on her knees. It might have made the difference

:15:16.:15:21.

between winning and losing. She ran great and finished third in the end.

:15:21.:15:25.

A very exciting filly for Lord Lloyd-Webber but unfortunately

:15:25.:15:29.

their chance in the Oaks was gone in a second because of interference.

:15:29.:15:33.

It is because this course is so difficult to ride and is so

:15:33.:15:38.

different to any other racecourse in the world, with its undulations

:15:38.:15:43.

and its steep left-hand bend, and the cam ber as well. And the

:15:43.:15:51.

atmosphere of Derby Day. -- the camber as well.

:15:51.:15:56.

It is not nice for the horse. used to have to ride through the

:15:56.:15:59.

crowds to get to the start. They've changed the start and the pull-up

:16:00.:16:04.

and put the road under the course. In the old days we used to go to

:16:04.:16:10.

the furlong marker, turn round and canter down the hill, past the

:16:10.:16:18.

winning post and pull up. We had to congregate. A policeman on a horse

:16:18.:16:23.

would lead us across the road and down to the Derby start. On the way

:16:23.:16:29.

Huw to go through a gipsy encampment, which had ponies

:16:29.:16:35.

tethered. They would be calling at your big strong colts. And kids

:16:35.:16:39.

playing football, riding bicycles. That's the route you used to take.

:16:39.:16:44.

Yes, down that hill in between all that lot, and you came up the other

:16:44.:16:50.

side. You can see the Derby start. Once you get to the start,

:16:50.:16:55.

certainly now, that is an oasis of calm. That's when a horse can

:16:55.:17:00.

settle down. But it's getting down there, sometimes you go, you are

:17:00.:17:05.

talking to your horse, you are whistling it's a him, trying to get

:17:05.:17:09.

him to keep his mind on you rather than the atmosphere. Epsom, you can

:17:09.:17:13.

see all the flags. Horses have never seen a flag before. They

:17:13.:17:17.

don't know what a flag is. They just don't know it is fluttering in

:17:17.:17:23.

the wind. They think it's there to frighten them. You have to keep

:17:23.:17:28.

reassuring your animal that it's OK. That's the bit that a trainer can't

:17:28.:17:32.

prepare form. He can get it fit and healthy and get it to run in the

:17:32.:17:37.

races but what will it do on the day? Aidan O'Brien has been walking

:17:38.:17:43.

the course and has joined Rishi. Aidan, if you put yourself in the

:17:43.:17:47.

shoes of Clerk of the Course, how would you describe conditions

:17:47.:17:51.

beautiful ground. A credit to Andrew and everybody. How do you

:17:51.:17:55.

think Camelot will enjoy what you just saw? It's lovely ground. It's

:17:55.:18:01.

a credit to Andrew and all the team. How is Camelot and how is

:18:01.:18:06.

Astrology? Fine, and seemed to travel over well. Describe how much

:18:06.:18:10.

confidence you have in Camelot today? Obviously every race is

:18:10.:18:16.

different and you are always hoping, you hope that everything goes well.

:18:16.:18:22.

We are happy to be here and looking forward to it. How nervous are you

:18:22.:18:27.

of having your son riding the favourite in the Derby? We are

:18:27.:18:31.

delighted for Joseph and it is a great day. We are looking forward

:18:31.:18:40.

to it. Good luck. Aidan O'Brien also has the hot

:18:40.:18:44.

favourite in the Coronation Cup. Having said that trainers can't

:18:44.:18:50.

prepare their horses for the noise and razzmatazz but you just said

:18:50.:18:59.

they can? Yes. Few years ago someone hired the brass band to

:18:59.:19:05.

come up to the gallops and play as his horse went cantering past.

:19:05.:19:09.

Brilliant. The two-year-old are loading up. This is a recorded shot

:19:09.:19:17.

of Euxton Hall. Paul Hanagan riding for Richard Fahey. He ran on good

:19:17.:19:23.

to soft ground at Haydock. The runner up looks strong. Euxton Hall

:19:23.:19:33.
:19:33.:19:40.

is certain to go close. It is our The stalls at the top of the hill

:19:40.:19:49.

for the Woody Waller wood. There is Jamie Spencer. His mount rearing

:19:49.:19:53.

backwards, and missed the start as well. They're off and running. In

:19:53.:19:55.

the centre Lastchancelucas has gone on from Liber, who is showing

:19:55.:19:59.

plenty of pace. On the inside in the yellow cap of Chilworth Icon.

:19:59.:20:04.

Behind them Euxton Hall, who lost ground at that point. Quite sharply.

:20:04.:20:08.

He's dropped back to fourth on the inside. Out wider on the track is

:20:08.:20:12.

Heavy Metal. Our losing ground at the back is Scotland Forever.

:20:12.:20:15.

Almost tailed off going around Tattenham Corner. Not handling it.

:20:15.:20:18.

Second last is Surely Speightful. The leader is Liber on the outside

:20:18.:20:23.

by half a length or so to Lastchancelucas, on the rail. Out

:20:23.:20:31.

wider is Chilworth Icon and Heavy Metal. Euxton Hall has tone to the

:20:31.:20:36.

outside in the red colours. With two furlongs to go Liber is tackled

:20:36.:20:42.

by Chilworth Icon. Out wider is Heavy Metal. Euxton Hall is still

:20:42.:20:45.

battling away but his chance seems to have gone. Chilworth Icon moves

:20:45.:20:50.

up on the outside of Liber. Here's Heavy Metal putting in the giant

:20:50.:20:54.

strides. Chilworth Icon kicks again on the inside. They race towards

:20:54.:20:58.

the line, it is tight. Chilworth Icon might have scrambled home from

:20:58.:21:03.

Heavy Metal Third was Liber. A gap to Euxton Hall followed further

:21:03.:21:06.

back in the field by Lastchancelucas. Then Scotland

:21:06.:21:12.

Forever and Surely Speightful, who wasn't too clever at the start, has

:21:12.:21:16.

finished last. Let's look at them go to the line.

:21:16.:21:26.
:21:26.:21:28.

This is tight. With a nose in front, this is tight... Chilworth Icon far

:21:28.:21:35.

side. Near side Heavy Metal. It is tight. Very tight indeed. Chilworth

:21:35.:21:41.

Icon and Heavy Metal. Here it comes now the result. First is Chilworth

:21:41.:21:46.

Icon. Second is number three, that's

:21:46.:21:51.

Heavy Metal. And third is number five, Liber. Fourth is number two,

:21:51.:21:58.

Euxton Hall. Very tight indeed. Chilworth Icon in the centre in the

:21:58.:22:04.

yellow cap. On the right you can see the light blue of Liber. And on

:22:04.:22:11.

the left in the red cap is Heavy Metal. He's just lost the whip

:22:11.:22:19.

there as they cross the line. Let's have another look. Silvestre De

:22:19.:22:23.

Sousa with his whip in the left hand. Martin Harley with the whip

:22:23.:22:31.

in the right hand. They come very close together. As you can see,

:22:31.:22:38.

they race towards the line and Chilworth Icon on the inside just

:22:38.:22:42.

get in and scrambling home. But it was a scramble.

:22:42.:22:49.

Martin Harley. What a week he's had. He and Mick Shan shone won the

:22:49.:22:58.

Irish 2000 Guineas. -- Mick Shannon. It was his first win outside

:22:58.:23:04.

Germany. He had won a few classics in Germany but never in England or

:23:04.:23:14.
:23:14.:23:15.

Ireland, so they had a huge day. Chilworth Icon is by 60s Icon.

:23:15.:23:22.

is doing so well. Mick Shannon is promoting this stallion at his stud.

:23:22.:23:30.

He's doing so well with these icons. I would think he's possibly leading.

:23:31.:23:35.

I'm not certain thafpblt with this win win it possibly puts him at the

:23:35.:23:44.

top of leading first season stallion. -- I'm not certain about

:23:44.:23:52.

that but with this win it possibly puts him at the top with this

:23:52.:23:59.

season's stallion. He might have dropped his whip. He saw the trip

:24:00.:24:05.

out well. He got right to the line. Mick Shannon is such a strong

:24:05.:24:09.

competitor. He was on Football Focus earlier today. He loves it

:24:09.:24:14.

when he has a winner. He isn't afraid to celebrate. He's been

:24:14.:24:19.

kissing people in the winner's enclosure he will be choughed to

:24:19.:24:24.

bits with that. He will say, "The boy did good." The Duke of

:24:24.:24:34.
:24:34.:24:38.

Edinburgh there and genie Caernarfon on the right. Prince

:24:38.:24:45.

Philip looking down on Mick Shannon in the winner's enclosure. Martin

:24:45.:24:50.

Harley, congratulation. Riding the crest of a way at the moment. The

:24:50.:24:55.

performance of this horse today, very touch. The step up was key.

:24:55.:25:01.

He's been run gg races over five. I said to the boss, this is a horse

:25:01.:25:05.

we might not get to the bottom of as he's always improving. I don't

:25:05.:25:10.

think the track suited him. Around the bend he ran a bit wide but he

:25:10.:25:15.

came on from that. He's a nice horse. What about the success in

:25:15.:25:20.

the Irish Guineas recently? It was unbelievable. The boss gave me

:25:20.:25:26.

great chance and to ride the winner today is amazing. We'll have a word

:25:26.:25:31.

with Mick Shannon if we can. Mick, I know you are organising

:25:31.:25:36.

photographs, just a brief word with you. We love seeing you celebrate

:25:36.:25:46.
:25:46.:25:50.

these winners. Martin Harley... is an unbelievable story 60s Icon.

:25:50.:25:55.

Two runners in Stakes and he's been a winner and one's been placed. I'm

:25:56.:26:03.

delighted for everyone. The owners have been with me a few years. They

:26:03.:26:07.

have seven of them. All the Chilworth horses have great

:26:07.:26:12.

attitude. Yes. They are tough. He didn't handle the track but still

:26:12.:26:18.

won, so it is great. Off the back of the Irish Guineas success the

:26:18.:26:21.

stables are flying at the moment? They've been going well all year

:26:21.:26:26.

really. We thought we would have a squeak in this. I was thinking of

:26:26.:26:31.

the Chesham for him. But he's always had plenty of speed. I

:26:31.:26:36.

haven't made them. They have to have the ability. They can't win at

:26:36.:26:39.

places like this if they haven't got the ability. An amazing

:26:39.:26:44.

stallion. I can't believe it. hope your run will continue

:26:44.:26:54.
:26:54.:27:24.

foresome time to come. Thank you Huge crowds and a very, and very

:27:24.:27:28.

much a patriotic feel to events here, the first official event of

:27:28.:27:33.

the of the Diamond Jubilee weekend. We have union flags everywhere, red

:27:33.:27:36.

white and blue and the most terrifically positive atmosphere.

:27:36.:27:41.

So many people possibly coming racing for the first time,

:27:41.:27:45.

certainly to Derby Day for the first time. What will they see

:27:45.:27:53.

before them? They may see a newly crowned name in racing. Standout

:27:53.:28:02.

names like See the stars or Generous or Mill Reef. Or people

:28:02.:28:06.

like Willie Carson. It is the race which every jockey, trainer and

:28:06.:28:09.

owner wants to win with the horse that can be crowned the best of his

:28:09.:28:16.

generation. It's the ultimate test of a horse.

:28:16.:28:19.

It needs speed and balance and a It needs speed and balance and a

:28:19.:28:24.

good mind. You can prepare but you never know what's going to happen

:28:24.:28:34.
:28:34.:29:11.

the Derby by a neck! And Frankie the Derby by a neck! And Frankie

:29:11.:29:15.

Dettori has the Derby in his sights. It is something you never forget.

:29:15.:29:22.

Frankie Dettori, the Derby goes to him! He is going to win the guineas

:29:22.:29:28.

and Derby double! They enter the line! Pour Pour Moi! Michel

:29:28.:29:32.

Barzalona. He puts his hand in the air.

:29:32.:29:38.

The Derby is such an aiz maize -- amazing race. You have to have all

:29:38.:29:43.

of the ingredients to win. It is like being in a romer coaster,

:29:43.:29:49.

you just have to sit tight. Hayley, we were meant to chat. I will let

:29:49.:29:54.

the audience know our secret. We were meant to chat in a female

:29:54.:29:59.

jockey's changing room, but a boy is in there! So what is going on in

:30:00.:30:05.

there? There is not a lot of places to sit, that is where the boys do

:30:05.:30:14.

their physio. So... I see you've been speaking on Twitter to Wayne

:30:14.:30:19.

Rooney? I have had a lot of people tweeting me back for the Derby, so

:30:19.:30:24.

it is exciting. What did you tweet back? I said

:30:24.:30:30.

thank you! What you should remind him is that he has never seen a

:30:30.:30:34.

crowd like this. This is such an amazing atmosphere.

:30:34.:30:39.

There are people with the trainers on, the kids, and then there is the

:30:39.:30:43.

crowd of people dressed up with the hats on here. When you come here it

:30:43.:30:46.

is an amazing atmosphere. It is brilliant.

:30:46.:30:50.

Do you think about the fact that this is your first Derby, are you

:30:51.:30:55.

nervous about that? I'm not yet. I am guessing that I will be nearer

:30:55.:30:59.

the time, but when you get on the horse you get in the zone and block

:30:59.:31:01.

all of this out and get on with the job.

:31:02.:31:08.

How do you block it out? How do you block all of this out? Do you

:31:08.:31:13.

listen to music, do you go into the changing rooms when the boys are

:31:13.:31:20.

not there? What do you do? You get in the room by yourself and try to

:31:20.:31:25.

take some time on your own, that is the best way, really.

:31:25.:31:33.

How do you feel about the day, the pressure? It is going to be OK. He

:31:33.:31:37.

is not a restless horse. He will have a great race.

:31:37.:31:43.

Meanwhile, the Royal Party are making their way down to the

:31:43.:31:48.

paddock. The Queen making her way into the Parade Ring.

:31:48.:31:52.

The Duke of Edinburgh right behind her. Her Majesty will have a very

:31:52.:31:57.

close look in the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup, the six runners. A

:31:57.:32:03.

race she won herself with Aureole. He came back here to Epsom and won

:32:03.:32:05.

the Coronation Cup in the following year.

:32:05.:32:15.
:32:15.:32:16.

This is the line up for the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup this year.

:32:16.:32:20.

And a fascinating contest it is too. Joseph O'Brien is on St Nicholas

:32:20.:32:26.

Abbey again. A horse who gave him his greatest triumph last year in

:32:26.:32:33.

the Breeder's Cup Turf. The last time he found himself on the other

:32:33.:32:39.

side of the St Leger as far as punters were concerned. He failed

:32:39.:32:44.

to real in the pacemaker, Windsor Prince. He knows the horse well.

:32:44.:32:50.

Let's have a look at the runners and the riders for this group 1

:32:50.:33:00.
:33:00.:33:00.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:33:00.:33:43.

So, the opening show for the paddock. There is the rider for

:33:43.:33:48.

Masked Marvel. Beaten Up is still being saddled. They have temporary

:33:48.:33:52.

saddling boxes here at Epsom. They are not a great favourite with the

:33:52.:33:56.

trainers, it has to be said. They can blow around in the wind and

:33:56.:34:02.

feel fragile, but William is over there, saddling up Beaten Up. He

:34:02.:34:08.

could win a big race in this. He went to Dubai, recently, something

:34:08.:34:13.

went wrong there, he did not race well, but he has a lot of ability.

:34:13.:34:23.

And out of the same mare, she is also the mother of Val. His father

:34:23.:34:31.

bred him and bred Val as well. I have had a chat yesterday with

:34:31.:34:36.

Connexions, Johnny Murtagh suggests that the race in Dubai that Clare

:34:36.:34:40.

referred to, where he fell behind St Nicholas Abbey, it was the wrong

:34:40.:34:45.

race at the wrong time. They are expecting a bigger show for him

:34:45.:34:50.

today. Willie? Yes, obviously, Dubai does

:34:50.:34:55.

not really fit in with the British timing. You have to take your horse

:34:55.:35:02.

to Dubai either very, very early so as you can get acclimatised.

:35:02.:35:06.

Let's have a look at the odds-on favourite for the race, St Nicholas

:35:06.:35:11.

Abbey. He is about to get saddled up, so I will stay out of the way.

:35:11.:35:17.

How does he look to you, Willie? Fit! That's it? He is a marvellous

:35:17.:35:21.

animal. Look at him, his head is up in the air.

:35:21.:35:28.

Take us through what they are doing? The grey pad goes on first.

:35:28.:35:33.

It does not slip. Then the number cloth and then that great big

:35:33.:35:38.

saddle on. The saddle is as big as the palm of

:35:38.:35:44.

your hand?! Yes, the saddle weighs about 12 ounces, the girth weigh

:35:44.:35:49.

more than the saddle itself. He is a big lad, Joseph, about nine stone,

:35:49.:35:56.

so obviously he will not have a very big saddle. Under there is the

:35:56.:36:00.

non-slip saddle, the pad under the number cloth and there, the girth?

:36:00.:36:06.

On the inside is a bit of rubber, it has little squares on it, it

:36:06.:36:13.

also is hopefully non-slipping. It helps the sald from slipping.

:36:13.:36:18.

You could go back 40 years and see the jockeys falling off. That does

:36:18.:36:21.

not happen because of better technology and equipment, but you

:36:21.:36:27.

can see the horse. He is being saddled up there, he has his back

:36:27.:36:33.

legs out behind him, very, very relaxed indeed. He has had this

:36:33.:36:38.

done many times before. He has been all over the world, obviously he's

:36:38.:36:42.

been on a plane this morning, but he is a very, very intelligent type

:36:42.:36:48.

of horse. You can see him looking back there, "Oops, are you putting

:36:48.:36:53.

that saddle on too tight?" Everything is done to perfection?

:36:53.:36:58.

Yes, everybody does the same thing. I was going to ask you, would there

:36:58.:37:03.

be anything in the Aidan O'Brien route yeen that you have seen that

:37:03.:37:07.

would be different from -- routine that you have seen that is

:37:07.:37:12.

different from any of the other trainers? No, but that he does it

:37:12.:37:19.

out in the open like this. His horses are so well behaved. Other

:37:19.:37:23.

trainers take them into boxs with sides on them as some of them are

:37:23.:37:29.

difficult, edgy. You like them in a confined space to keep them quiet

:37:29.:37:33.

to keep the saddle on. But sometimes the boxes are warm?

:37:33.:37:39.

Yes, but they rattle too, but Aidan seems to be able to get his horses

:37:39.:37:44.

to stand. He must be doing something at home to keep them as

:37:44.:37:48.

relaxed as they are. Look at that horse? He is like a police horse,

:37:48.:37:54.

isn't he? No negatives there. And also watching the horses

:37:54.:37:59.

closely, the Queen. Making her inspections. She will take notes in

:37:59.:38:04.

her race card and see if her eye is correct, as when she sees the

:38:04.:38:07.

horses canter to the start and whether they do themselves justice

:38:07.:38:12.

and run up to the full capability of their form. You can see her

:38:12.:38:17.

looking so closely at these horses. There are lovely animals here. All

:38:17.:38:22.

of them older horses going up to six years old, thus more dwoched

:38:22.:38:27.

than some of the other -- developed than some of the other horses.

:38:27.:38:34.

Some of the horses are owned in syndicates, but Brian has a

:38:34.:38:37.

particular interest. Not only do you own the horse, you bred him and

:38:37.:38:43.

your son trains him? Furthermore, my daughter is in, no, she's not in

:38:43.:38:48.

this indicate. You did not let her?! Yes, very

:38:48.:38:58.
:38:58.:38:59.

exciting! I am related to Harris Tweed. Related to Vwo.

:38:59.:39:07.

Related to Frog. Bought by me, 16,000 guineas on a whim.

:39:07.:39:17.
:39:17.:39:18.

Why did you call her Frog? She is French-bred! This horse has a

:39:18.:39:24.

lovely name in Beaten Up. You must think this is going to be a tough

:39:24.:39:29.

race with Beaten Up? He looks the best I have seen him. He is

:39:29.:39:34.

overweight by seven kilos, I said I was pleased. I think he will run a

:39:34.:39:41.

big race, provided we get a good run. He's going to kick on. The

:39:41.:39:46.

ones that have led have on the whole won this week.

:39:46.:39:51.

They have. You should get a decent pace set by

:39:51.:39:55.

Robin Hood. I will let you get your position.

:39:55.:40:00.

Thank you, madam. He is the only person that calls me

:40:00.:40:09.

madam, it must be said! The horses are to make their way out on to the

:40:09.:40:14.

course. They will parade down to the start, all six of them. A small

:40:14.:40:19.

field for this. Perhaps some of them scared off by the horses such

:40:19.:40:26.

as St Nicholas Abbey. Red Cadeaux it is, who looks as if

:40:26.:40:36.
:40:36.:40:47.

he is to lead out the runners. Well, this Red Cadeaux has been a

:40:47.:40:53.

sensational horse. He went over to the Melbourne Cup and nearly won it.

:40:53.:40:59.

He was beaten in a photo finish. Since then he has won the Yorkshire

:40:59.:41:06.

Cup. Brian Haggis saying he has never seen him looking better. Here

:41:06.:41:12.

we see the pacemaker, Robin Hood. Seamie Heffernan is riding him.

:41:12.:41:17.

He is checking that there is a lead down to the start. Joseph deciding

:41:17.:41:24.

to do his thing, taking St Nicholas Abbey over to the far rail. Pat

:41:24.:41:28.

Keating and Aidan O'Brien alongside the talented horse. They thought he

:41:28.:41:34.

would be the Derby horse, never got to run in the race after an

:41:34.:41:38.

unsuccessful 2,000 Guineas, we will see what shapes up for him as a

:41:38.:41:42.

five-year-old now. He is quite a difficult horse to ride. He has a

:41:42.:41:47.

high head carriage, but Joseph, I felt that Joseph O'Brien came of

:41:47.:41:55.

age on this horse in the Breeder's Cup Turf. The runners making their

:41:55.:41:58.

way down to the start for the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup. We

:41:58.:42:03.

will catch up with them once they have gotten around Tattenham Corner.

:42:03.:42:09.

We will have a closer look and see how they are handling it all in

:42:09.:42:14.

terms of the occasion. That gives time to reflect on last year's

:42:14.:42:17.

time to reflect on last year's dramatic Derby win for Pour Moi.

:42:17.:42:21.

Well, the Carlton House story was a tremendous occasion right the way

:42:22.:42:24.

through. The Queen is at the centre of the

:42:24.:42:28.

story. She owns the favourite, Carlton House.

:42:28.:42:33.

The buzz was hugely exciting. Hundreds of thousands here at Epsom

:42:33.:42:39.

and millions around the country and around the world are hoping to send

:42:39.:42:47.

her victorious, happy and glorious. Everybody would love to be putting

:42:47.:42:52.

on Ryan Moore's boots today. It a class race a class line-up,

:42:52.:42:55.

let's hope that we have a classic result.

:42:55.:43:01.

It was a huge build-up. He is a horse in the news. He is a

:43:01.:43:08.

Derby favourite. Everyone wants this horse to win for Her Majesty.

:43:08.:43:13.

He didn't have a greater start. She was at Tattenham Corner.

:43:13.:43:20.

COMMENTATOR: The lead has gotten away on Tattenham Corner. They are

:43:20.:43:27.

giving chase. Here comes Carlton House, Ryan Moore down the outside.

:43:27.:43:32.

Here is Carlton House, called on for the final furlong. With 100

:43:32.:43:36.

yards to go. Carlton House! Pour Moi is

:43:36.:43:42.

swimming! Trough Beach is holding Pour Moi is the winner. Pour Moi

:43:42.:43:52.
:43:52.:43:55.

Sadly the horse finished third and had some issues on the way. He lost

:43:55.:44:02.

a shoe. But that's racing, and the Queen will accept it with

:44:02.:44:06.

tremendous grace of course. And steadfastly will continue to on to

:44:06.:44:16.
:44:16.:44:21.

We've seen Carlton House twice since this day 12 months ago. He

:44:21.:44:28.

went to Ireland and came fourth in the Irish Derby.

:44:28.:44:33.

He has the scarlet sleeves of the Queen.

:44:33.:44:41.

On Thursday he won at Sandown. His trainer, Sir Michael Stoute, said

:44:41.:44:44.

he will go to Royal Ascot but will stick at the quarter mile and a

:44:44.:44:49.

quarter trip and run in the Prince of Wales Stakes, which is the

:44:49.:44:53.

richest race of the meeting this year. Before we move on to the

:44:53.:44:58.

Coronation Cup, the runners are arriving at the porks I have Paul

:44:58.:45:06.

Hanagan with me, who is riding Mickdaam. Are you excited? Yes.

:45:06.:45:12.

almost went over the rails. I was almost pushed over the rails. But

:45:12.:45:18.

that's Epsom for you. Mickdaam here winning at Chester, a narrow

:45:18.:45:22.

victory. The ground will be different for him. Different and

:45:22.:45:27.

better for him. He is a nice-moving horse. He's in good form. He gets

:45:27.:45:33.

the trip well. I'm hopeful really. He works well every day at Richard

:45:33.:45:38.

Fahey's. We are all hopeful. It is ironic that you have ridden for a

:45:38.:45:42.

long time, but don't any more, because you have one of the best

:45:42.:45:48.

racing jobs for a jockey in the game, and now you are back with

:45:48.:45:54.

Richard in the Derby. Yes, I'm delighted to get my first ride for

:45:54.:45:59.

Richard. He's been so good for me. I'm delighted. We wish you and him

:45:59.:46:05.

the best of luck. Thank you. This Coronation Cup seeps St

:46:05.:46:15.
:46:15.:46:25.

meaty doubles going on. This gives us the perfect

:46:25.:46:28.

opportunity to experience the distance and the course of the

:46:28.:46:33.

Derby. It is exactly the same for the Coronation Cup. A mile-and-a-

:46:33.:46:38.

half. We zoom down there. They come out of the stalls, a right-hand

:46:38.:46:46.

kink in the horse. Up the hill, left hand, downhill, Tattenham

:46:46.:46:52.

Corner, and the long straight with the camber, which tests the horse,

:46:52.:46:55.

particularly its balance. St Nicholas Abbey won last year

:46:55.:47:02.

wearing down Midday. He had gone for home a long way out.

:47:02.:47:11.

Midday was in front then. A little too soon. But St Nicholas Abbey

:47:11.:47:15.

benefited. Ryan Moore rode him and had to make him do it. He's a horse

:47:15.:47:20.

that would stay a lot further than a mile-and-a-half. Stamina is his

:47:20.:47:24.

thing. In fact he is a horse possibly next year, if they keep

:47:24.:47:30.

him in training, if they wanted to, they could go for the Gold Cup.

:47:30.:47:38.

could be their next Yeates. Flame And Glory went wrong this,

:47:38.:47:44.

could be that type of animal, as he has stamina, plenty of it. He's a

:47:44.:47:52.

very good racehorse. He looks a lot lighter. He ran not so long ago at

:47:52.:47:56.

the Curragh. And Joseph got stick for his ride. He was confident that

:47:56.:48:01.

day. He was expecting horses to stop in front of him. He's got very

:48:01.:48:09.

warm, St Nicholas Abbey. He does do. This he did this in the paddock.

:48:09.:48:14.

They get themselves quite worried and wound up, but my word they have

:48:14.:48:18.

talent. St Nicholas Abbey is the hot favourite to win this prize for

:48:18.:48:22.

the second year in a row. Amongst the opposition, we spoke to the

:48:22.:48:31.

owner and breeder of this has, Brian Haggas. Beaten Up looked

:48:31.:48:36.

really well in the paddock. He did look really well. Very good in his

:48:36.:48:42.

skin. Very good with himself. This family, they were very tough and

:48:42.:48:47.

very, very talented as well. There he is getting the blindfold put on

:48:47.:48:54.

them. -- put on him. This is so they can't see the stalls. Some

:48:54.:49:00.

horses don't like to go into things above their heads. A hood is very

:49:00.:49:06.

good to get horses into the stalls nice and quietly.

:49:06.:49:12.

A look at Masked Marvel, who won the St Leger last season. Went to

:49:12.:49:17.

the Arc. Taimed off there. Didn't run well in the Jockey Club Stakes,

:49:17.:49:21.

but he will have progressed throughout the year. It may be that

:49:21.:49:26.

it happens today. Red Cadeaux, what a fabulous servant he's been St

:49:27.:49:31.

Nicholas Abbey is the last one to go forward. Let's join Grath Grath

:49:31.:49:38.

gravel. -- Jim McGrath.

:49:38.:49:43.

They're off! And away to a good start in the Coronation Cup. In the

:49:43.:49:49.

centre Beaten Up restrained. Robin Hood, the pacemaker, going on as

:49:50.:49:56.

expected. Slling down from Masked Marvel. Quest For Success is --

:49:56.:50:02.

settling down from Masked Marvel. Quest For Success to Masked Marvel

:50:02.:50:06.

and then Red Cadeaux. Towards the right side of the track. He cut to

:50:06.:50:11.

the corner and head to the left side. The leader is Robin Hood.

:50:11.:50:15.

Leads by three to four lengths. Setting a good pace from Masked

:50:15.:50:19.

Marvel in second. Third is Quest For Success and fourth is Beaten Up.

:50:19.:50:26.

Not fully settled yesterday. They are followed by St Nicholas Abbey.

:50:26.:50:31.

Three lengths away, the Melbourne Cup runner-up Red Cadeaux, all the

:50:31.:50:34.

time climbing. It is Robin Hood by four lengths to in second Masked

:50:35.:50:41.

Marvel. Third is Quest For Success, followed by Beaten Up, who is

:50:41.:50:45.

behind Quest For Success. They are followed by St Nicholas Abbey.

:50:45.:50:48.

Spotting his pacemaker about ten lengths at this stage. Red Cadeaux

:50:48.:50:52.

is still at the tail of the field. As they race up towards the highest

:50:52.:50:58.

point of the course. Now to free- wheel down Tattenham Corner, and

:50:58.:51:02.

Robin Hood by five lengths to Masked Marvel in second. Then in

:51:02.:51:07.

third is the white-capped Quest For Success. Two lengths away is Beaten

:51:07.:51:12.

Up followed by Red Cadeaux, moving through on the inside to St

:51:12.:51:16.

Nicholas Abbey, who is held up at the rear and still riding a

:51:16.:51:21.

confident race at the back is Joseph O'Brien. They race to

:51:21.:51:25.

Tattenham Corner and Robin Hood is about eight lengths in front,

:51:25.:51:29.

setting a real gallop from Masked Marvel in second. In third is Quest

:51:29.:51:33.

For Success. Now starting to ease to the outside. St Nicholas Abbey

:51:33.:51:37.

and he is gathering in his pace make quickly from Beaten Up. A gap

:51:37.:51:42.

to Red Cadeaux. Into the home straight. He's there in two bounds

:51:42.:51:46.

O'Brien. On the inside St Nicholas Abbey has raced up to take the lead

:51:46.:51:51.

from Masked Marvel. Robin Hood in his stride. Further back is Quest

:51:51.:51:54.

For Success. Red Cadeaux is starting to run on very well. St

:51:54.:51:58.

Nicholas Abbey is leader with just o'er a furlong to go. He is four

:51:58.:52:01.

lengths in front of Masked Marvel. Red Cadeaux running into third and

:52:01.:52:05.

then Quest For Success. But as they race up now towards the line, it is

:52:05.:52:10.

St Nicholas Abbey, who is going to make it back to back wins in the

:52:10.:52:14.

Coronation Cup. The Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup won by St Nicholas

:52:14.:52:17.

Abbey. Red Cadeaux a really good run in second. This third Masked

:52:17.:52:22.

Marvel. Followed in fourth by Quest For Success, and a long gap to

:52:22.:52:30.

Beaten Up, and last is Robin Hood. The winner is number six, St

:52:30.:52:35.

Nicholas Abbey. Another win in this Group 1 Coronation Cup. This time

:52:35.:52:40.

at odds of 11-8 on. He was even money last year. Second is number

:52:40.:52:43.

four, Red Cadeaux, Ryan Moore. Third is Masked Marvel, William

:52:43.:52:49.

Buick. And for the is number three, Quest For Success, ridden by --

:52:49.:52:55.

Quest For Success I should say, ridden by Kieren Fallon. There is

:52:55.:52:59.

St Nicholas Abbey. Joseph O'Brien rode the most confident of races

:52:59.:53:08.

there. He was not at all put off by his experience at the Curragh last

:53:08.:53:14.

time, when he did leave that pacemaker, let him get away. But

:53:14.:53:20.

there he is striding up towards the line. St Nicholas Abbey has gone on

:53:20.:53:26.

to win it in very comfortable style. Red Cadeaux in second. Just looking

:53:26.:53:34.

to see if Joseph O'Brien has a whip there. One of our keen observers

:53:34.:53:39.

says he's dropped it. There is Red Cadeaux. That was an excellent run

:53:39.:53:46.

in second. In third was Masked Marvel. In fourth was Quest For

:53:46.:53:52.

Success. Still a couple more to come. Fifth was Beaten Up and sixth

:53:52.:53:59.

was the pacemaker, Robin Hood. There is Joseph O'Brien. The whip

:53:59.:54:06.

in the left hand. There it is. The hip's gone there. You can see from

:54:06.:54:11.

his right hand I should say, just slipping out there. Didn't need it

:54:11.:54:16.

there. The distances were four-and- a-half lengths and three and a

:54:16.:54:24.

quarter lengths. 2.34.52 the time. What a performance from St St. Came

:54:24.:54:31.

out cruising, whooshed past them all. Joseph just needed to sit

:54:31.:54:38.

there and steer. He emulates War San who did it for Clive Bitton in

:54:38.:54:46.

2003. This tongue is lolling out. You wonder what might have been in

:54:46.:54:50.

this three-year-old's career, if he had not run so poorly in the 2000

:54:50.:54:56.

Guineas. Aidan O'Brien admits he was rushing him for that. The only

:54:56.:55:02.

thing this horse lacks is speed. He's got stamina in abundance.

:55:02.:55:08.

when he quickened there... He's had a pacemaker and they've gone a nice

:55:08.:55:14.

gallop. The horses are started to get tired. That's not speed, that's

:55:14.:55:19.

pure class over this distance. Beaten Up was desperately

:55:19.:55:25.

disappointing. Didn't get into it aloff. Ignored the pacemaker, so

:55:26.:55:29.

effectively Masked Marvel was making the running. He beat the

:55:29.:55:35.

good horse as long, long way. APPLAUSE

:55:35.:55:42.

That time incidentally was 0.48 seconds faster than the Racing Post

:55:42.:55:51.

standard. It was still three and a fifth

:55:51.:55:56.

seconds outside Workforce's record set in the Derby in 2010. This is a

:55:56.:56:06.
:56:06.:56:08.

horse who really did fall apart two years ago when he was going for the

:56:08.:56:15.

Guineas. He just didn't, he wasn't able to stand it we didn't see much

:56:15.:56:20.

of him that have for a long time, but this has been a great training

:56:20.:56:25.

performance for Aidan O'Brien. He always said the horse was a top

:56:25.:56:32.

horse, and blamed himself for that three-year-old campaign. There he

:56:32.:56:39.

is and Rishi is with Joseph O'Brien. It all looked easy for you today,

:56:39.:56:45.

Joseph, the way he travelled and picked up. He looked like he is in

:56:45.:56:50.

top gear at the moment. When he goes to sleep early in his races he

:56:50.:56:56.

is a special horse. He has a lot of abit. He is back to his old form.

:56:56.:57:01.

Were you surprised at how easily he got to the front? He picked up a

:57:01.:57:07.

bit and I didn't want to disappoint him. I let him go forward. When he

:57:07.:57:13.

relaxes and picks up like that... Does this give you more confidence

:57:13.:57:17.

into the Derby to ride Camelot? think so. All the best of luck in

:57:17.:57:23.

the big one later. Thank you Rishi. I've got Aidan O'Brien standing in

:57:23.:57:27.

front of me. We heard from Joseph. The smile says it all, it takes the

:57:27.:57:35.

pressure off a bit with cam catch. With Camelot. Joseph being the

:57:35.:57:41.

first to say, I think I hit the front too soon. He couldn't help

:57:41.:57:45.

himself. St Nicholas Abbey, the way he swept parks it was thrilling to

:57:45.:57:52.

watch. A -- swept past, it was thrilling to watch. It was great.

:57:52.:57:56.

This could be a terrific two-day festival for you. You have bagged

:57:56.:58:01.

the two Group 1s so far. I can't tell you how much we are delighted

:58:01.:58:05.

to be here and to be part of it. It's a real privilege. Looking at

:58:05.:58:12.

St Nicholas Abbey, what are his key aim this is year? He has an aping

:58:12.:58:20.

of the Prince of Wales at Ascot and then an option at King George. And

:58:20.:58:25.

the Arc later in the year. Congratulations to you and a

:58:25.:58:31.

terrific training performance with him. As a four and five-year-old he

:58:31.:58:37.

has come into his own. Derek Smith sits on 99 Group 1 winners in which

:58:37.:58:43.

he's been involved as part of a triumvirate. The Derby could be

:58:43.:58:49.

number 100. Derek, can I have a quick word with you? These are your

:58:59.:59:06.

clears. What a thrilling time you Last year the Breeders Cup, I think

:59:06.:59:10.

that was as good as you are going to get. He does seem to be

:59:10.:59:15.

improving. Although he gets himself wound up before hand, it doesn't

:59:15.:59:20.

spoil him. He went to the front probably sooner than he wanted to.

:59:20.:59:24.

But it was procession really. Very impressive. You are wearing the

:59:24.:59:28.

purple and white tie, your colours. This could be the biggest difficult

:59:28.:59:32.

your life in terms of your colours. How many times have your colours

finished in the Derby? Four consecutive. And five in total.

is number 99, so it will be 100 group winners. This is the day?

:59:44.:59:47.

doubt. You are confident about Camelot? Very. And you have been

:59:47.:59:52.

since probably the time you first worked at Ballydoyle as a two-year-

:59:52.:59:58.

old. Absolutely. He isn't going to let us down now. Well done.

:59:58.:00:02.

Sounding much more bull theish than Aidan will ever let on.

:00:02.:00:12.
:00:12.:00:24.

A fabulous result for them in the More money on Camelot. All of that

:00:25.:00:28.

money rolling tonne the favourite, Camelot.

:00:28.:00:34.

So, let's have a look at the final stages once again. Masked Marvel.

:00:34.:00:37.

Look at how quickly St Nicholas Look at how quickly St Nicholas

:00:37.:00:41.

Abbey races to him. When the pacemaker went so quickly.

:00:41.:00:48.

It was probably 100 yards or so earlier than what Joseph O'Brien

:00:48.:00:53.

wanted. He did not want to disappoint the horse. The horse was

:00:53.:00:58.

charging, he had to let him stride on. He has done that very well.

:00:58.:01:07.

It was a performance, you would have to say, a performance fit for

:01:07.:01:12.

a Queen. Certainly on a day like this.

:01:13.:01:17.

The Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup, a really special occasion for Epsom.

:01:17.:01:22.

A special occasion for Epsom and Her Majesty now coming out to

:01:22.:01:26.

present the trophy. It is a great thrill for everybody

:01:26.:01:30.

connected with this racecourse. Everybody connected with British

:01:30.:01:40.
:01:40.:01:45.

racing. Your Royal high necessarys, Her

:01:45.:01:49.

Majesty the Queen has kindly agreed to present the trophy for this re-

:01:50.:01:54.

named Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup, Group 1 race over the course

:01:54.:01:59.

and the distance of a mile-and-a- half. It has been won in style for

:01:59.:02:02.

the second year running by St Nicholas Abbey, so please, welcome

:02:02.:02:12.
:02:12.:02:19.

on to the stage the winning owners. APPLAUSE

:02:19.:02:23.

The horse is, of course, a superstar. St Nicholas Abbey, but

:02:23.:02:28.

so too is his trainer, winning this race for the sixth time in eight

:02:28.:02:33.

year. Ladies and gentlemen, Aidan O'Brien.

:02:33.:02:43.
:02:43.:02:45.

And what about the young man on board? He is just 19 years old. He

:02:45.:02:50.

has nerves of steel. He has incredible talent. He is Joseph

:02:50.:02:58.

O'Brien. And this, of course, the team that

:02:58.:03:04.

will link up with the odds-on favourite, Camelot in the Investec

:03:04.:03:08.

Derby, still to come at 4.00pm. For now, they celebrate success in the

:03:08.:03:11.

Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup. Congratulations to the team

:03:11.:03:14.

associated with St Nicholas Abbey who wins this race for the second

:03:14.:03:24.

year running! So, a fairly clean running of this Diamond Jubilee

:03:24.:03:28.

Coronation Cup. Not so many problems on the way around. A

:03:28.:03:34.

couple of little incidences in the race. The pacemaker, Robin Hood

:03:34.:03:39.

with the sort red visor on. He comes out of the stalls and slips

:03:39.:03:45.

and does not help the horse next to him. It puts him off there? Yes,

:03:45.:03:50.

Johnny Murtagh gets het up. You can see him looking across. He wants

:03:50.:03:55.

someone else to come and make the pace. That he that Is that the

:03:55.:04:02.

pacemaker will no take on the role. And he is almost on his knees.

:04:02.:04:06.

He manages just to get up and do the running.

:04:06.:04:10.

Here is a closer look. Here is Red Cadeaux. He is a horse that won

:04:10.:04:15.

over a furlong the last time. He won over a mile and three quarters.

:04:15.:04:19.

He has the brilliant run being second in the Melbourne Cup.

:04:19.:04:24.

He is catching St Nicholas Abbey all the way to the line.

:04:25.:04:30.

It was a very eye-catching run. It will be trk to see where they go

:04:30.:04:35.

with him -- it will be interesting to see where they go with him.

:04:35.:04:40.

It is one thing, Aidan O'Brien likes his horses to do it smoothly,

:04:40.:04:43.

you don't get much more smoother than this.

:04:43.:04:53.
:04:53.:04:54.

And as he said himself, probably hitting the front a little Earl yir

:04:54.:04:58.

-- early, but that sometimes happens.

:04:58.:05:01.

And Masked Marvel who finished in third place, although he had run in

:05:01.:05:05.

the Derby last year, he finished eighth, this not the track for him.

:05:05.:05:13.

Likely to go to Royal Ascot. We could see him there in two weeks'

:05:13.:05:17.

time, they are thinking about aiming him at the St Leger in

:05:17.:05:26.

Ireland at the Curragh in September. And Anthony Cane, the chairman of

:05:26.:05:29.

Epsom Racecourse took the opportunity while the Queen was

:05:29.:05:32.

presenting the trophy for the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup of

:05:32.:05:37.

giving her an album of Derby winners and incidences over the

:05:37.:05:41.

years. The Queen is a great historian and will absolutely love

:05:41.:05:45.

this and study it in detail. A fabulous gift to mark the Diamond

:05:45.:05:50.

Jubilee. I suspect that Anthony will have to

:05:50.:05:54.

hang on to it to ensure it is delivered later to Buckingham

:05:54.:05:59.

Palace or Windsor calf. The Queen beaming there as she is

:05:59.:06:03.

chatting to the owners and to Anthony.

:06:03.:06:08.

A real superstar horse, St Nicholas Abbey, great to see him win in such

:06:08.:06:13.

great style. Applause from the assembled crowd

:06:13.:06:18.

around this circular winner's enclosure as the queen makes her

:06:18.:06:23.

way back um to -- up to the Royal Box. The rest of the party are

:06:23.:06:29.

looking down. It has warmed up, the sun is just starting to come out.

:06:29.:06:33.

It really is now a beautiful day, as it should be on Derby Day. This

:06:33.:06:43.
:06:43.:06:50.

The Red Devils parachuted down. The Queen arriving at the head of the

:06:50.:06:54.

Royal Procession and the first race went to one of the greatest

:06:54.:07:02.

trainers in the racing world, Sir Henry cressily with Wrotham Heath

:07:02.:07:08.

and Tom Queally on board. And Mick Shannon, a former England

:07:08.:07:12.

footballer and hugely successful flat racing, getting up by the

:07:12.:07:16.

narrowest of margins. The Queen made her way to the paddock to

:07:16.:07:19.

examine the six runners for the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup.

:07:19.:07:25.

What a winner we saw. He stuck his tongue out to the rest, St Nicholas

:07:25.:07:34.

Abbey the --. Now, the second favourite for the Investec Derby is

:07:34.:07:39.

Bonfire, he is trained by my brother, Andrew.

:07:39.:07:49.

That is Lee -Anne, she does the work at home on Bonfire. He is not

:07:49.:07:56.

the easiest horse. He has a mind of his own, but it is a good excuse to

:07:56.:08:02.

go to the stables to find out about the horse who could upset Camelot.

:08:02.:08:12.
:08:12.:08:16.

Could it be Bonfire? My Grandfather, Ian, who we call Grumpy, trained a

:08:17.:08:20.

horse called Mill Reef. Mill Reef striding to the front now. He run

:08:20.:08:27.

in 18... 18... 190... 1... No, 1971! Mill Reef's the winner!

:08:27.:08:30.

That's my daddy. He has a horse running in the Derby called Bonfire.

:08:30.:08:34.

He's a neck in front and Bonfire wins the Dandy by under a length.

:08:34.:08:38.

This is my aunty Clare whose presenting Derby Day for the Derby.

:08:38.:08:46.

I am. What's going to happen on Derby Day, do you think? I think

:08:46.:08:53.

Bonfire's going to win the Derby. hope you're right. What did JJ say

:08:53.:08:57.

to you the other day? He said to me, "Daddy, you know if you really want

:08:57.:09:00.

Bonfire to win the Derby, you should let Grumpy train him because

:09:00.:09:04.

he's won a Derby." I said, "OK." Thanks for the vote of confidence

:09:04.:09:11.

from my five-year-old son. This is where I grew up. I used to come up

:09:11.:09:14.

here on any horse I was riding whenever I could, just fantastic

:09:14.:09:22.

space. Real old downland turf so, perfect for training horses.

:09:22.:09:28.

There's an incredible amount of history in this place. It was my

:09:28.:09:31.

home, so you slightly take it for granted, but this was purpose-built

:09:31.:09:36.

as a training stable. Nine Derby winners have already come out of

:09:36.:09:46.
:09:46.:09:46.

one of these old yards. 1971, I know it well only because you've

:09:46.:09:49.

told me enough times recently, that you were born in that year! That

:09:49.:09:54.

was the second-best thing that happened that year! Thanks! You

:09:54.:09:58.

genuinely, you wouldn't know that, would you? If somebody said what

:09:58.:10:01.

happened in 1971, you would have gone through everything that Mill

:10:01.:10:04.

Reef did and you wouldn't have known that your first child was

:10:04.:10:08.

born? Yes. I said to you what happened in 1972, what would you

:10:08.:10:18.
:10:18.:10:19.

say? Mill Reef broke a leg. Do you know what else? Happened in 1972?

:10:19.:10:24.

He wasn't born, was he? Yes, he was! I think that is a perfect

:10:24.:10:27.

illustration of how Mill Reef has dominated our life! What do you

:10:27.:10:32.

think it was about Mill Reef that made him so special? I think there

:10:32.:10:35.

were two great qualities. One was his temperament, which was

:10:35.:10:39.

absolutely amazing. And of course his way of moving was so special, I

:10:39.:10:46.

have never seen another horse move like that. These are the colours

:10:46.:10:49.

Mill Reef carried in the Derby, although he did not have the Lycra

:10:49.:10:53.

ones, he had silk ones. Mr Mellon's colours. These are the Queen

:10:53.:10:57.

Mother's colours, the Queen's colours. She had horses with my

:10:57.:11:00.

father, with my grandfather and now does with my brother. Those were

:11:00.:11:09.

Border Arrow's colours. He finished third in the Derby and these are

:11:09.:11:11.

the colours of Bonfire, who, hopefully, will finish better than

:11:12.:11:15.

third, who knows? So this is him. He looks pretty well, doesn't he?

:11:15.:11:18.

Still a couple of kilos to put back on after York, but he looks really

:11:19.:11:22.

well in his skin. Appetite's good. He's doing alright with his hay?

:11:22.:11:28.

Good. $YELLOW Perfect. I was about seven-years-old when my brother

:11:28.:11:32.

first told me that he was going to train racehorses. This is us on our

:11:32.:11:37.

ponies with grandma. This is Andrew. He said he was going to be a

:11:37.:11:40.

trainer, I thought I better find something else to do. How would you

:11:40.:11:48.

describe Bonfire as a character? Complex at times. He's got his own

:11:48.:11:53.

idea on things, for sure. When he first started with him early this

:11:53.:12:01.

year he was a real handful. He's a talent and he knows it. At the end

:12:02.:12:05.

of the day, the horse deserves to be there, he has a great chance if

:12:05.:12:11.

he stays. As long as the horse sweats his race I will be delighted.

:12:11.:12:14.

It's the Derby, you know, it's a big deal. So it's just lovely for

:12:14.:12:18.

us all to be a player. So, I hope you've worked out what you're, how

:12:18.:12:21.

you'll behave if he happens to win it? $$WHITEI think not go near any

:12:21.:12:24.

of you, is probably the only answer, just hand the microphone to

:12:24.:12:34.
:12:34.:12:38.

I've been asked by so many people what will you do if your brother

:12:38.:12:44.

wins the Derby. The reason they ask, the first year Andrew was training,

:12:44.:12:50.

we were doing the coverage, Sue Barker was up here on the podium,

:12:50.:12:56.

as the race was being run, I was whacking your back. Poor will ie

:12:56.:13:05.

was covered in bruises. This is what happened! Come on!

:13:05.:13:11.

Well done. Sorry, I'm meant to say something.

:13:11.:13:14.

I can't speak. I'm speechless.

:13:14.:13:24.
:13:24.:13:29.

Can't speak. Neither can I. Wonderful.

:13:29.:13:36.

A bit hopeless at the moment. It was wonderful. I know, but that

:13:37.:13:40.

officially goes down as the worst winning interview ever and I will,

:13:40.:13:45.

I hope, I'm in the position in the very fortunate position to try and

:13:45.:13:48.

find the right words this time around. The chances are it won't

:13:48.:13:52.

happen. You are more professional now, aren't you? No, I'm just

:13:52.:14:00.

practising, trying not to with so emotional -- not not to be so

:14:00.:14:05.

emotional. Mill Reef came along as my brother was born. Nine in that

:14:05.:14:09.

yard, seven trained by John Porter, one trained by dad and an true

:14:09.:14:13.

maybe with the tenth from Park House. The other interesting fact

:14:13.:14:19.

about Bonfire and Camelot is both were brought up in the same paddock

:14:19.:14:26.

at the stud seven miles away from us. Vow was there. If you zoom

:14:26.:14:36.
:14:36.:14:38.

along, you go past Watership Down Stud and Bonfire is trained at

:14:38.:14:43.

Kingsclere. It's an extraordinary coincidence but the yand expands

:14:44.:14:47.

all the time -- yard expands all the time. It's like a city. Doesn't

:14:47.:14:52.

feel like that when you are on the downs. Bonfire, we talk about his

:14:52.:15:02.
:15:02.:15:10.

temperament, he will be saddled in the stables will Minimise Risk.

:15:10.:15:15.

We'll find out whether he has the temperament, whether he can deal

:15:15.:15:19.

with preliminaries and whether he's good enough to beat Camelot and

:15:19.:15:24.

Astrology and the other nine runners in the Investec Derby.

:15:25.:15:30.

Could be huge. You are getting nervous already. I'm excited and I

:15:30.:15:34.

think if you can't get excited when your brother has a rider in the

:15:34.:15:37.

Derby, what would be the point saying, I don't really mind, of

:15:37.:15:41.

course I do! You are working for the BBC! I know! But this could be

:15:41.:15:47.

the greatest day of my racing life! Anyway this is not the point...

:15:48.:15:52.

Enjoy it. I will. It's part of the story, I hope this gets people

:15:52.:15:57.

interested as well. We have an odds on favourite and a gorgeous day.

:15:57.:16:00.

The wind has dropped completely. For the first day of the Diamond

:16:00.:16:03.

Jubilee which gives us a chance to enjoy the successs that the Queen

:16:03.:16:08.

has enjoyed and the people who've ridden and train ford her by Royal

:16:08.:16:18.
:16:18.:16:21.

I've been very blessed to be able to ride for her. To be in her

:16:21.:16:28.

company, it's a privilege to be in the races when she's there. I was

:16:28.:16:32.

very nervous going out to meet her for the first time but she put me

:16:32.:16:36.

at ease pleadly. She has a sparkle in her eyes when watching the

:16:36.:16:40.

horses around the paddock and really loves her racing. I enjoyed

:16:40.:16:47.

it immensely putting the colours on, felt very proud immediately.

:16:47.:16:51.

They're unique. You are wearing tradition, Royal and glamour and

:16:51.:16:57.

it's something that you never forget all your life. It was nice

:16:57.:17:01.

to ride a winner for her. Her face would beam and it made you feel

:17:01.:17:06.

good. When I won the race and was walking back in and she was there,

:17:06.:17:11.

it was just, you know, I can't believe this is actually happening.

:17:12.:17:19.

Momentary, number four is first. That was a special day. Free Agent,

:17:20.:17:25.

a Royal winner. The BBC got a great shot of her in the Royal Box.

:17:25.:17:35.
:17:35.:17:37.

Everyone came out of the grandstand I've been joined bid someone who's

:17:37.:17:41.

very qualified to know about the Queen because Julian, author and

:17:41.:17:44.

journalist has written a book called Her Majesty's Pleasure, what

:17:44.:17:48.

inspired you to do that? It's been a long time since a book of this

:17:48.:17:53.

kind has been written. The last was probably down in 1976 from memory

:17:53.:17:56.

and it's the Jubilee year and we thought it was about time the

:17:56.:18:01.

Queen's interest in racing was chronicled again. Did it take you

:18:01.:18:05.

long? About 14-15 months, a lot of research, a lot of interviews,

:18:05.:18:10.

talking to all sorts of people who were helpful with it. What did you

:18:10.:18:14.

learn yourself? How passionate the Queen is and how much she knows.

:18:14.:18:18.

John Warren, her racing manager, is one of the renowned judges and a

:18:18.:18:22.

great thinker about horses but every time he speaks to her, he

:18:22.:18:26.

says he learned something new. have the Derby here this year, a

:18:26.:18:32.

favourite in Camelot. But tell an anecdote - hold on, we have got the

:18:32.:18:36.

prices actually before we do that - what do you fancy? I think it's a

:18:36.:18:41.

one horse race, I think Camelot will win with a real show of

:18:41.:18:46.

strength. He won the Guineas over a trip that was way too short for him,

:18:46.:18:49.

in my opinion and I can't see anything else troubling him today.

:18:49.:18:55.

Back to the anecdote, what are they, please? The one I enjoyed

:18:55.:18:58.

particularly was when the Queen watched jockeys and stable lads

:18:58.:19:01.

ride work and it all went wrong, there was a kerfuffle and the lads

:19:01.:19:05.

came back into the room and were using the most industrial language

:19:05.:19:10.

imaginable without knowing the Queen was there and of course, huge

:19:10.:19:14.

embarrassment when they realised she turned round to them and said,

:19:14.:19:18.

don't forget that I've been marryed to a sailor most of my life. This

:19:18.:19:22.

is the one I like particularly, go on? It concerns a young Clare,

:19:22.:19:26.

because it's a little known fact she was given her first podium by

:19:26.:19:30.

the Queen. One day on a stable visit, she was holding a pony in

:19:30.:19:35.

line and the Queen patted it and said to Clare, this pony must be 24

:19:35.:19:39.

now and Clare said, no, she's 25 and the Queen rooked at her and

:19:39.:19:42.

said, I think you will probably find it is 24, Clare, no, it's 25!

:19:42.:19:46.

That was Clare off to a tee from a very young age, strident and

:19:46.:19:54.

committed in her opinions. Good luck with your book. Miss Balding,

:19:54.:19:59.

arguing with the Queen, surely not! You should have heard what my

:19:59.:20:08.

father said to me that day. How old were you then? Five or six maybe.

:20:08.:20:11.

were you then? Five or six maybe. Only little like my nephews.

:20:11.:20:21.
:20:21.:20:22.

Biggest field of the day so far, 20 runners for this Investec Bank Dash.

:20:22.:20:30.

The record time was set by Lester Pigott. This race is the equine

:20:30.:20:40.
:20:40.:20:54.

back! Bolt is back! Just imagine that taking place, Usain Bolt

case of blink and you miss it, fastest five furlong in the world

there. He'd just won the race but he's a very fast horse indeed. You

:22:53.:22:58.

would have to think that Richard Kingscote will have a great chance.

:22:58.:23:04.

He's got the draw. The punters think he's got a great chance

:23:04.:23:14.
:23:14.:23:15.

because he's 7-1 co-favourite. is Catfish for Brian Meehan and

:23:15.:23:19.

Mickael Barzalona. Catfish was a winner at Goodwood last July.

:23:20.:23:24.

That's a similar downhill course. Then he was runner-up at York a

:23:24.:23:27.

week ago with this jockey. More unexposed than some in the field

:23:27.:23:37.
:23:37.:24:06.

but is improving. He could just yard at this meeting. Just selected

:24:06.:24:10.

ones actually. We've only got four horses to go, Clare. Let's join Jim.

:24:11.:24:20.
:24:21.:24:26.

It will be over in a flash! There's the champion jockey, Paul Hanagan.

:24:26.:24:33.

A fine jockey he is too. His first ride in the Derby on Mickdaam

:24:33.:24:38.

coming up at 4 o'clock. Catfish went to post very early. The last

:24:39.:24:48.
:24:49.:24:49.

one to be installed. They are just about ready. Stand by. They are

:24:49.:24:52.

running! On the stands rail one of the first

:24:52.:24:58.

away is Bear Behind. Sohraab is up there. Going fast too is Judge 'n

:24:58.:25:03.

Jury. Wider out in the early stages is Captain Dunne and Stone Of Folca.

:25:03.:25:09.

On the far side that is. Captain Dunne going on from Stone Of Folca.

:25:10.:25:16.

Taajub. Judge 'n Jury. Followed further back in the field by

:25:16.:25:23.

Catfish, Long Awaited. Followed by Oor Jock on the far side. Living It

:25:24.:25:31.

Large. Stone Of Folca just the leader, forcing through Taajub.

:25:31.:25:35.

Followed further back by Desert Law. Stone Of Folca has kicked clear

:25:35.:25:41.

with about 100 yards left to go. Desert Law. Stone Of Folca in front.

:25:41.:25:45.

Stone Of Folca got there from Desert Law followed by Catfish.

:25:45.:25:50.

Just behind them, Taajub and Confessional and followed next by

:25:50.:25:57.

Jamesway and further back then Vocational. Stone Of Folca, Luke

:25:57.:26:02.

Morris trained by John Best has got the money here and there as the

:26:02.:26:07.

trainer. There is the horse, number 9, Stone Of Folca, always been well

:26:07.:26:12.

considered, well regarded by his yard, but just lost his way a bit

:26:12.:26:19.

last year. Was a very, very smart juvenile. Number 9, Stone Of Folca,

:26:19.:26:26.

is the oneer. Desert Law second, Catfish next and fourth Number 11,

:26:26.:26:33.

Taajub. From stall 2, unbelievable, how did he get there!? Absolutely.

:26:33.:26:38.

We knew he was a good horse last year, but to do it here, that's

:26:38.:26:42.

just unreal. That is the original self-interview. There he is over

:26:42.:26:48.

the line, Stone Of Folca has won it. And won it well. Second Desert Law,

:26:48.:26:53.

Health and Safety run out of his skin here. Third was 15, katd fish,

:26:53.:26:59.

fourth was Taajub, then Confessional -- Catfish. Then

:26:59.:27:04.

Jamesway, number 19. York Glory with the hood on the far side.

:27:04.:27:14.
:27:14.:27:16.

Vocational in the centre Red Cap. Need side is Captain Dunne. Sohraab.

:27:16.:27:26.
:27:26.:27:30.

Long Awaited. In the centre is Courageous. Diamond Charley. Just

:27:30.:27:34.

behind them is Living It Large and Judge 'n Jury who showed pace and

:27:34.:27:39.

another two to come. But John Best, we don't really need to ask him any

:27:40.:27:44.

more, he's interviewed himself, but fantastic performance and well done,

:27:44.:27:54.
:27:54.:27:58.

talked to the camera about the draw, coming out of stall 2, that is

:27:58.:28:02.

possibly why Stone Of Folca was such a long price. And also the

:28:02.:28:10.

form last year wasen great. This was add good as a two-year-old?

:28:10.:28:13.

pound lower today than he's been in his life and he's been gelded. Only

:28:13.:28:17.

ever won a maiden before. You could see what a great passage he had and

:28:17.:28:23.

how well he got into a rhythm. normally horses don't win from that

:28:23.:28:28.

draw, but this guy, he's 50-1 possibly because he was drawn 2.

:28:28.:28:35.

Luke Morris is having a great time. Having a great time? Yes, very good

:28:35.:28:40.

jockey nowadays and it's only a matter of time before he see him in

:28:40.:28:45.

black tie braces. Desert Law, a good run from him and sprinting is

:28:45.:28:55.
:28:55.:28:55.

his game. And Catfish, the thing I did notice about Catfish was that

:28:55.:29:01.

Michael Barzalona was losing his saddle. I don't know if that was an

:29:01.:29:04.

excuse earlier, but I saw that. Good on him for staying in the

:29:04.:29:10.

saddle which was not helping him. Luke Morris kissing the owners of

:29:10.:29:17.

Stone Of Folca. The Folkestone syndicate racers group. Thrilled

:29:17.:29:22.

for the owner who has a beautiful yard in Kent and does very well

:29:22.:29:32.
:29:32.:29:42.

it is held by Indigenous, this is 0.09 of a second slower than

:29:42.:29:47.

Indigenous. That was hand-timed. This could be the fastest five ever

:29:47.:29:53.

This could be the fastest five ever run along this course.

:29:53.:30:00.

Well, I have the delighted winner on Connexions. He is very fast?

:30:00.:30:04.

very high-class two-year-old. He is back to form.

:30:04.:30:08.

To do it from stall two was a hell of a performance.

:30:08.:30:13.

John? You are delighted. That was a fantastic run? We thought he was a

:30:13.:30:17.

very good horse right from the early days. Things did not work out

:30:17.:30:22.

for us last year. It was always tough for him as a three-year-old.

:30:22.:30:26.

The ground was never right. His brain has not always been in the

:30:26.:30:32.

right place. Today, from stall two, I don't know how Luke managed to do

:30:32.:30:38.

it, but the horse is very, very quick. I have said it all along. A

:30:38.:30:46.

faster horse than King's Gate Native was. To get him there from

:30:46.:30:49.

stall two, on Derby Day as well, I could not be happier.

:30:49.:30:57.

So, he is in the King's Stand, are you taking on Black Cava? I think,

:30:57.:31:03.

I would say, we had him in there in case he came out and did this, we

:31:03.:31:08.

will take our chances. The problem is his brain. Mentally he is not

:31:08.:31:13.

good. Getting him on to the track is a nightmare. Like dealing with

:31:13.:31:16.

an untamed lion, but we did it today.

:31:16.:31:24.

Well, you all have a top hat and tail so, Royal Ascot, here you come.

:31:24.:31:28.

So, the winner of Investec Specialist Bank 'Dash' is Casey

:31:28.:31:37.

Stoner. There are many of bookmakers with

:31:37.:31:43.

smiling faces after that result, but maybe not so after Camelot.

:31:43.:31:47.

The horses of the Investec Derby are making their way into the

:31:47.:31:50.

paddock. The Aidan O'Brien runners are coming through. The third one

:31:50.:31:55.

along is the favourite, the red hot favourite, Camelot. It is the first

:31:55.:31:59.

glimpse that people will have of the favourite. At the moment he

:31:59.:32:05.

looks calm, collected, in good order. He looks in great shape. His

:32:05.:32:12.

skin is shining. He is unbeaten. Let's get the camera away from him.

:32:12.:32:16.

We don't want to cause trouble. The last horse to come through is

:32:16.:32:22.

Cavaleiro. That is for Marcus Tregoning.

:32:22.:32:29.

Camelot may be the one. He may be the one to follow up victory in the

:32:29.:32:35.

Investec Derby and then go on to complete the Triple Crown. No colt

:32:35.:32:40.

has done that since 1970, when a horse called Nijinsky won all three.

:32:40.:32:45.

He was undoubtedly a great Derby horse. Let's take a look at what

:32:45.:32:51.

that means. It's the ultimate test of a horse.

:32:51.:32:56.

It needs stamina and speed and balance and a very good mind.

:32:56.:32:59.

Stays the distance. Has the attitude to take on the big day.

:32:59.:33:04.

Keep his cool. Travel, you must travel. You can't be making up

:33:04.:33:08.

ground. Good horses have speed and stamina.

:33:08.:33:13.

The most mile-and-a-half Derby horses can win over six furlongs.

:33:13.:33:19.

It is a track that demands agility. They must be athletic. To have the

:33:19.:33:22.

speed to travel in the race. Without the speed to get into a

:33:22.:33:26.

good position that puts you back. That make it is difficult.

:33:26.:33:30.

A very high cruising speed. The ability to show speed and

:33:31.:33:33.

acceleration, but to get the distance.

:33:33.:33:38.

You need a horse that will then relax. The temperament to hold

:33:38.:33:40.

themselves together in a very intense atmosphere.

:33:40.:33:45.

You don't want a horse that is anxious. We have run horses where

:33:45.:33:50.

they are too keen, do too much too early and then cut out.

:33:50.:33:56.

They have to the balance at the turn, the stamina at the end.

:33:57.:34:00.

hill, then tight down hill. You must be well balanced to handle the

:34:01.:34:05.

track. If you are not, you are on the wrong leg, you are unbalanced

:34:05.:34:11.

and then all sorts of problems. That is why the Derby is such an

:34:11.:34:15.

amazing race, they have to have every ingredient to win.

:34:15.:34:19.

So, the first horses coming into the paddock.

:34:19.:34:26.

The tension really mounting now. Only minutes away.

:34:26.:34:33.

The Investec Derby of 2012. This year, the smallest field in 105

:34:33.:34:43.
:34:43.:34:46.

years. Not since Aubury won in 1997 have we had such a small fieldment

:34:46.:34:49.

-- field, but they are quality runners. Let's have a look at the

:34:49.:34:55.

runners and the riders. Astrology. One of two in the race

:34:55.:35:01.

trained by Aidan O'Brien. Ridden by Ryan Moore.

:35:01.:35:07.

Bonfire, the second favourite. A good winner of the Dante Stakes at

:35:07.:35:14.

York. Number three, Camelot. The red hot

:35:14.:35:19.

favourite. Joseph O'Brien has a group one winner on the board.

:35:19.:35:25.

Four, Cavaleiro. Hayley Turner, the second woman to ride in the Derby.

:35:25.:35:30.

Five is Main Sequence, unbeaten colt, four out of four, the winner

:35:30.:35:39.

of the Lingfield Derby Trial. Mickdaam, winner of the Chester

:35:39.:35:44.

Trials. Ridden by Paul Hanagan. The first Derby ride.

:35:44.:35:48.

Minimise Risk. Ran no race when last in the chaster on heavy ground.

:35:48.:35:57.

Going better today. Number eight, Rugged Cross.

:35:57.:36:04.

Ridden by Dane O'Neill. Number nine, Thought Worthy, won the St Leger.

:36:04.:36:08.

They are the nine runners for this year's Derby.

:36:08.:36:13.

And down here in the paddock, the horses are parading around us.

:36:13.:36:18.

Everybody is abuzz. The Royal Party making their way down from the

:36:18.:36:22.

Royal Box. It is just the most gorgeous day. Perfect conditions.

:36:22.:36:26.

There is a breeze. It is not too close or warm.

:36:27.:36:33.

On their way down to the stables, Andrew Balding and his assistant

:36:33.:36:41.

trainer, Chris Bonner. The horse to be salded in the

:36:41.:36:44.

stables before coming to the paddock to ensure that nothing goes

:36:44.:36:50.

wrong. Bonfire, as we have explained can be a thinker. He

:36:50.:36:56.

likes to do things his own way. Every precaution is being taken,

:36:56.:37:00.

including bringing another horse here, Bonfire's work companion at

:37:00.:37:05.

home to be with him in the parade. To go down to the start where the

:37:05.:37:13.

head lad, Nigel Walker is to meet Bonfire to head to the stalls. So a

:37:13.:37:19.

lot for Andrew to think about and to keep them busy, that is for sure.

:37:19.:37:24.

Aidan O'Brien has a little bit of an easier time, Astrology looking

:37:24.:37:29.

calm as anything as Aidan O'Brien continues his tradition of saddling

:37:29.:37:34.

outside of the boxes. He likes to do it outside. Willie was saying

:37:34.:37:39.

earlier, how well his horses behave. They really seem to revel in the

:37:39.:37:43.

attention. To get space away from the runners. Astrology munching on

:37:43.:37:47.

the bit. His girth is tightened and Aidan

:37:47.:37:50.

O'Brien making the final preparations on the horse that we

:37:50.:37:55.

expect to be handy in the race, if not making the running there. To

:37:55.:38:01.

set a decent gallop. That is what he needs. It should ensure that

:38:01.:38:05.

Camelot, their big hope, does not get too keen in the race and

:38:05.:38:09.

everything pans out as they expect that it will.

:38:09.:38:16.

Aidan is reserved and does his tended way to be very lucky, lucky

:38:16.:38:23.

to have such a lovely horse in the race. It is Derrick who has said

:38:23.:38:30.

that they are going to win this. I'm sure it is a short price

:38:30.:38:40.
:38:40.:38:52.

favourite? It is, these are the So, hugely short price odds-on for

:38:52.:38:56.

punters at home looking for value, that is not, but for the big money

:38:56.:39:00.

punters it is, they are confident to get a return from Camelot. A lot

:39:00.:39:05.

of people thinkering he cannot be beaten, but if we thought that for

:39:05.:39:10.

every odds-on horse for the race, we would never bother. Camelot

:39:10.:39:14.

looking cool. He is a real fiscal presence of a horse. A lovely

:39:15.:39:19.

stride on him. Power through the quarters. The second thigh there,

:39:19.:39:29.
:39:29.:39:31.

the muscle is that that powers him He has a huge lung. The amount of

:39:31.:39:38.

air he can exhale and inhale in every stride. He is very impressive,

:39:38.:39:42.

isn't he? I was blessed to see him on Monday. I could not believe

:39:42.:39:47.

presence of the horse. He walked around like he owned the place.

:39:47.:39:52.

He is walking around this paddock as if he owns it too.

:39:52.:39:57.

That is a big lad this side of him, a big guy, he still does not make

:39:57.:40:02.

the horse look small. He is a monster and Joseph O'Brien is the

:40:02.:40:09.

man to get the leg up on board. He is nearly 6ft tall. He does a lot

:40:09.:40:14.

to keep his weight down. That is a rare drink for him. He must keep

:40:14.:40:22.

the weight down. It is a big frame to keep himself lean, but he is not

:40:22.:40:27.

dissimilar to Lester Piggott. Like Lester Piggott he could become a

:40:27.:40:31.

teenage winner of the Derby. Down in the stables far from the

:40:31.:40:35.

crowds, Bonfire is being saddled in the stables. So is Minimise Risk,

:40:35.:40:41.

both of the runners of Andrew Balding. It made more sense to take

:40:41.:40:47.

them saddled up down there. He has made the point come race day

:40:47.:40:53.

he has no problem with Bonfire, it is fine. Given that there is a lead

:40:53.:40:57.

horse. The problem is if no-one is leading them, he can whip around

:40:57.:41:02.

like a six pence. And the last thing you want is your

:41:02.:41:08.

horse galloping loose. We have had it once.

:41:09.:41:13.

Olivier Peslier has had it then. So Andrew is ensuring that nothing

:41:13.:41:18.

goes wrong before the race so that the 20 owners of Bonfire, the

:41:18.:41:26.

Highclere syndicate, so that they can enjoy this race. You know how

:41:26.:41:30.

excited the owners get. How much fun it is for them.

:41:30.:41:35.

This is a day you dream of. I'm sure that a lot of owners could not

:41:35.:41:38.

think with the possibility of winning the Derby.

:41:38.:41:42.

This is our gang. Her Majesty the Queen is coming into the paddock

:41:42.:41:47.

now to have a good look at these horses. Just nine runners. Camelot,

:41:47.:41:53.

the odds-on favourite. The one, I am sure, that the Queen will

:41:53.:42:03.
:42:03.:42:03.

welcome at immediately and recognise. So well bred.

:42:03.:42:12.

He has been sired by Mangier. Camelot now being saddled.

:42:12.:42:16.

He is not turning a hair. Well, the jockeys are making their

:42:16.:42:25.

way out to the winner's en closure for the traditional pre-Derby photo.

:42:25.:42:30.

Yes, a great moment for any jockey to ride in the Derby. Just like you

:42:30.:42:38.

would have seen before the Grand National in April, they commemorate

:42:38.:42:42.

the days with a group photo. It is a nice touch it goes down well with

:42:42.:42:47.

the professionals. They love it Dane O'Neill on the left having his

:42:47.:42:55.

fifth ride in the Derby. Ted Durcan having his fifth. Down

:42:55.:42:59.

the front, Paul Hanagan, his first ride.

:42:59.:43:08.

Spence intense -- Jamie Spencer in the pink and the green jacket.

:43:08.:43:13.

On the right, Joseph O'Brien, his second ride in the Derby, riding

:43:13.:43:16.

the red hot favourite. Hayley Turner second from the right in the

:43:16.:43:20.

back. Here is Bonfire. He is finally

:43:20.:43:28.

leaving the stables, coming up to the paddock. Two people leading him.

:43:28.:43:35.

Taffy and I suspect Lee-Anne. Making sure he is surrounded by

:43:35.:43:41.

familiar faces and voices. In front of him is Minimise Risk.

:43:41.:43:47.

Andrew's other runner. A beautifully looking horse, but

:43:47.:43:51.

Bonfire, I was mentioning is owned by a gang of 20. They are all

:43:51.:43:56.

behind me here in the paddock. There are various levels of

:43:56.:44:06.
:44:06.:44:09.

anticipation and excitement and Hi, there. You were bought in as a

:44:09.:44:15.

present? Yes, marvellous. I can't believe it, a tar by runner. With a

:44:15.:44:20.

chance?! With a chance! It's not like 1010-1 shot. I do hope Camelot

:44:20.:44:23.

understands that. You would all like your chance. For you, this is

:44:23.:44:28.

such a thrill. How has the day been so far? Building up to this moment,

:44:29.:44:33.

which is wonderful, can't believe we are here. We'll let you have a

:44:33.:44:40.

closer look at Bonfire, because he's there with Rishi. This one

:44:40.:44:45.

leading the way, trained by Clare's brother Andrew. Bonfire, nothing

:44:45.:44:51.

untoward, he's taking it all in. The ears are the signal. That is

:44:51.:44:54.

the signal that a horse is taking it all in, listening and paying

:44:54.:44:57.

attention. Now he's coming toward the camera. We'll keep a safe

:44:57.:45:02.

distance as he trots past. At the moment, as Clare will have seen as

:45:02.:45:07.

he left the stables on the way to the paddock, he looks lovely, calm

:45:07.:45:17.
:45:17.:45:18.

and relaxed. So there is the wonderful trophy, a unique trophy

:45:18.:45:22.

it is as well. You know you've won the Derby if you've got one of

:45:22.:45:27.

those sitting in your drawing room. The guest of honour is our own

:45:27.:45:33.

Willie Carson who had 28 rides in the Derby. He won four of them and

:45:33.:45:39.

he was in the frame many, many times. A man who had an uncanny

:45:39.:45:44.

knack around this tricky course and the first man he meets is Jamie

:45:44.:45:51.

Spencer, a jockey he would have ridden against but he retired in

:45:51.:46:00.

1997. Bill yam Buick, Paul Hanagan, Ryan O'Neil. Ryan Moore I should

:46:00.:46:10.
:46:10.:46:12.

say. And a kiss for the only lady. Joseph O'Brien just being given the

:46:13.:46:18.

Willie Carson treatment! Willie Carson I'm sure will offer

:46:18.:46:23.

words of encouragement to the jockeys. William Bewick making his

:46:23.:46:26.

way over to the Thought Worthy team and the owner, an immensely

:46:26.:46:30.

sporting man who's been a racehorse owner for many years and breeder as

:46:30.:46:39.

well. He's going to have a chat with William.

:46:39.:46:42.

William's giving me a really dirty look there saying, we won't listen

:46:42.:46:47.

in on them. We won't! William will explain to his owner George exactly

:46:47.:46:51.

what he's planning to do in the race. John Gosden train this is

:46:51.:46:54.

horse and ultimately, I think he'll end up being the horse who might be

:46:54.:46:58.

able to go even further than a mile and a half so they know his stamina

:46:58.:47:03.

will not be the problem and however strong a pace Astrology might set,

:47:03.:47:08.

I suspect he will not be too far behind it. Willie, did you enjoy

:47:08.:47:14.

your moment? Yes, told them all what to do. Had a good look at

:47:14.:47:20.

Camelot? Yes. There goes Main Sequence behind us getting a bit

:47:20.:47:28.

warm. Mickdaam. A Chester winner. He was quite light and lanky

:47:28.:47:32.

actually. He went round Chester on very bad ground. Exactly. Let's go

:47:32.:47:36.

back to the betting ring and see what news there is from John Parrot.

:47:36.:47:43.

Anything else being supported apart from Camelot? There's money now for

:47:44.:47:53.
:47:54.:48:05.

Bonfire, I think the each way Bonfire is the each way thief.

:48:05.:48:09.

There is Bonfire, safely arrived in the paddock, seemingly behaving

:48:10.:48:16.

himself well at the moment, having a good look around. Taffy Cheshire

:48:16.:48:20.

keeping him just interest in what is going on around him but not

:48:20.:48:25.

getting him too wound up. He's a gorgeous looking horse, very pretty

:48:25.:48:29.

but has a very active brain and wants to know what is going on and

:48:29.:48:34.

oh my word, he moves well. Such a dainty mover when you see him

:48:34.:48:38.

canter down to the start, you will see the stride and see what you

:48:38.:48:44.

think. Maybe he's good enough, maybe not, because Camelot...

:48:44.:48:48.

ran yesterday. Yes. This is the Cavaleiro group. Hayley Turner gets

:48:48.:48:54.

her first ride in the Derby, trained by Marcus tregnifpbg, who's

:48:54.:49:00.

won the Derby with Sir Percy, the sire of Cavaleiro, so not

:49:00.:49:05.

dissimilar preparation Marcus, you look more relaxed. More so than you,

:49:05.:49:11.

the pressure is on. Don't you start, I'm being quite good I think?!

:49:11.:49:15.

hopefully Bonn fir will run well, Cavaleiro is in good form. We wish

:49:15.:49:20.

you well and Hayley well as well. Hayley, feeling all right? Yes,

:49:20.:49:24.

good actually, surprisingly chilled out. You haven't been checking your

:49:24.:49:29.

phone for texts and things? allowed them in the weighing room.

:49:29.:49:34.

It's all good, thanks. Hope you have a great ride. Thank you,

:49:34.:49:37.

cheers. Fabulous jockey Hayley and making

:49:38.:49:43.

history, the second female jockey to ride in the history after Alex

:49:43.:49:51.

Grieves in 1996 which was when I think maybe Sir Percy won it. The

:49:51.:49:55.

Queen's breeding adviser next to her and Prince Philip next to her

:49:55.:50:05.
:50:05.:50:06.

as well. Examining the breeding of the horses. Let's find Rishi.

:50:06.:50:11.

Keep ago close eye on Bonfire for you. At this stage, Willie, there's

:50:11.:50:15.

nothing that looks untoward as regards his demeanour? Of course

:50:15.:50:20.

not, he looks absolutely fine. Got a lip chain on. Good looking?

:50:20.:50:25.

good looking horse. You can see the horse, look at his ears and eye and

:50:26.:50:32.

look at the ears. He's alert. he is, but he's sent all the people

:50:32.:50:37.

around the paddock to say look at me, aren't I a handsome beast.

:50:37.:50:41.

only you had the same ears you would be doing the same. Exactly.

:50:41.:50:46.

The horse behind Astrology, lovely relaxed big, strong colt? Very

:50:46.:50:50.

strong indeed. I don't know about going around Epsom. He just looks a

:50:50.:50:56.

bit heavy for Epsom. Went round Chester OK. That's turning. This is

:50:56.:51:02.

downhill with the big shoulders that he has. But he's a very

:51:02.:51:09.

relaxed one. Aid on Brian's are always relaxed. Camelot? -- Aidan

:51:09.:51:15.

O'Brien's horses are always well relaxed. Can you find any negatives

:51:15.:51:20.

about him? No, actually you saying small and compact. Normally that's

:51:20.:51:28.

what people say is best at Epsom. There you go. Number 5, he's

:51:28.:51:33.

getting a little warm, but is it anything to worry about? No, he's a

:51:33.:51:39.

big strong horse. He hasn't had a lot of racing, you know, he's

:51:39.:51:43.

unbeaten. He is. And he's a big strong lad, but might just lack

:51:44.:51:50.

experience. A big strong colt again. Thought Worthy, another one? Yes,

:51:50.:51:55.

he's going to stay, isn't he. He's got a lip chain on as well.

:51:55.:52:00.

would they put one on him? releases the endorphins out and

:52:00.:52:05.

gives them a very sleepy feeling while you have the chain. It goes

:52:05.:52:09.

across the top lip and just releases things and it makes them

:52:09.:52:15.

feel sorts of relaxed. It does a great job for going around the

:52:15.:52:18.

paddock in this sorts of circumstances. But you can see that

:52:18.:52:23.

most of the horses in the Derby here are, you know, behaving very,

:52:23.:52:28.

very well indeed. I don't think that you will be able to find a

:52:28.:52:33.

negative, not even you! You can let that go now. Horse 6 Mickdaam has

:52:33.:52:38.

had a lot of races this season, been campaigning out in Dubai, but

:52:38.:52:43.

seems to be thriving for it? looks one of the lightest horses in

:52:43.:52:48.

the paddock today, just looking a little bit fit. Too fit? I'm not

:52:48.:52:54.

saying too fit at all, but looks these he's 100% fit and he possibly

:52:54.:52:59.

might need a rest after today. last one I want to talk about is 8,

:52:59.:53:04.

Rugged Cross, a big price, but his trainer is a shrewd character,

:53:04.:53:09.

knows whether or not he has a good horse? Yes, his form doesn't

:53:09.:53:17.

suggest he'd win, but he's a small, nice, attractive colt. He's just a

:53:17.:53:22.

nice little horse. But his form suggests that he will be hard-

:53:22.:53:25.

pressed to get into any of the money today. So all in all, you are

:53:25.:53:29.

saying lots of positives, no negatives in the paddock?

:53:29.:53:33.

negatives that I can see, but you are always the person who just

:53:33.:53:36.

might find one. Of course, everybody says it's a penalty kick,

:53:36.:53:45.

the ball is on the spot! The ball may be on the spot but

:53:45.:53:48.

there is a mile and a half to negotiate and eight other runners

:53:48.:53:53.

of finely bred horses to be beaten. One is Main Sequence, the trainer

:53:53.:53:58.

just walking past us, who work ford five years as assistant to Henry

:53:58.:54:03.

Cecil. In the parade, won fire will be going last, with a horse

:54:03.:54:09.

accompanying him, Isfahan, who is his companion at home. Camelot,

:54:09.:54:15.

Joseph O'Briain is standing in the middle of the paddock delaying his

:54:16.:54:19.

association with Camelot, as it were, just delaying getting a leg

:54:19.:54:24.

up. You can see Joseph there in the trees and Aidan will come over to

:54:24.:54:29.

him in a minute and say, time to get on board, let's make this thing

:54:29.:54:33.

happen and find out whether this horse, Camelot, is as good as they

:54:33.:54:40.

all think he is at home and can he be the first colt since Nijinski to

:54:40.:54:43.

twin 2000 Guineas, the Derby and then have success in the St Leger,

:54:43.:54:47.

because that's the plan, to do something that none of the other

:54:47.:54:51.

current horses at stud, none of the other stallions have done. Bonfire

:54:52.:55:01.
:55:02.:55:05.

coming across to take his position of expectation. Almost a hush

:55:05.:55:09.

around the paddock as everybody holds their breath. Thought Worthy

:55:09.:55:14.

getting on his toes walking behind Camelot and is sweating up a little

:55:14.:55:22.

bit just beginning to get a bit toey. The delay, the kind of horses

:55:22.:55:28.

know that something is about to happen. Camelot says, all right,

:55:28.:55:37.

let's just see what happens. Others want to know what is goings on.

:55:37.:55:44.

Part of the test, the men tall test for the horses is the parade in

:55:44.:55:48.

front of the grandstand -- mental test. They are welcomed by a

:55:48.:55:58.
:55:58.:56:16.

Leading the parade is Astrology, a winner of the Dee Stakes at Chester

:56:16.:56:22.

last time around and the last winner to win this was one in 2030.

:56:22.:56:27.

Ryan Moore the only jockey in this field that's won the Derby before.

:56:27.:56:34.

Fol Loyeing him out is Cavaleiro at 33-1. He won the race with Sir

:56:34.:56:39.

Percy. -- following him out. Cavaleiro would have an outside

:56:39.:56:45.

chance, but not a complete no-hoper. Quite a gap and I have no idea

:56:45.:56:51.

which horse will come out next, but we'll see very shortly. And it's

:56:51.:56:59.

Main Sequence, the Lingfield winner last time out. Impressive turn of

:56:59.:57:08.

foot. He's gotten slightly warm in the paddock. I'm sure he'll settle

:57:08.:57:13.

down. This is Mickdaam with Paul Hanagan having his first Derby ride

:57:13.:57:17.

for Richard Fahey. He's been all over the world already. He's a bit

:57:17.:57:24.

of a traveller. This is Minimise Risk, the outsider of the field at

:57:24.:57:34.
:57:34.:57:38.

66-1 in the colours there green and lilac. Needs to improve form-wise.

:57:38.:57:45.

Rugged Cross, Henry Candy's runner, probably the smallest of the colts.

:57:45.:57:50.

Very sweet looking. He will finish well beaten by Thought Worthy

:57:50.:57:54.

actually. If that worm were to be repeated, you would think this

:57:54.:57:58.

horse, Thought Worthy, would again finish in front of Rugged Cross.

:57:58.:58:05.

Just got a little wound up. William Bewick riding for John Gosden who

:58:05.:58:13.

ran this race with Benny The Dip before coming hear to the Derby,

:58:13.:58:18.

although this horse, Thought Worthy, had a run in-between. And there,

:58:19.:58:23.

that's actually Camelot, the odds on favourite. Joseph doing what he

:58:23.:58:27.

did on St Nicholas Abbey and taking the horse to the far rail. Pat

:58:27.:58:32.

Keating with him making sure his horse stays calm. And Bonfire

:58:32.:58:38.

making sure he goes into a canter sooner rather than later and that's

:58:39.:58:43.

Isfahan alongside him to give him company and to make him feel as if

:58:44.:58:46.

everything's all right. Jimmy Fortune saying to him, can you go

:58:46.:58:51.

in front of me and give me a lead so I can settle my horse in behind

:58:51.:58:55.

you. Bonfire fighting a little bit for his head but will drop it a

:58:55.:59:00.

little in a moment or two and Jimmy will take him steadily down to the

:59:00.:59:03.

start. It's Derby day, but it's Derby day with a difference because

:59:03.:59:13.
:59:13.:59:15.

it's also the start of the Diamond days in the sporting calendar.

:59:15.:59:19.

Derby Day is a special national occasion. The royal association

:59:19.:59:23.

goes back 300 years. Her Majesty the Queen making her way to the

:59:23.:59:28.

attic. With the Jubilee celebrations only days away, it is

:59:28.:59:33.

a right royal occasion. A great moment in any year, but for the

:59:33.:59:37.

more so in the Jubilee year. Can he win the Derby for Her Majesty the

:59:37.:59:46.

Queen? It was neck and neck! It is going to be a royal victory, I

:59:46.:59:53.

think! Jubilee there seems to be everywhere. The day that Her

:59:53.:59:57.

Majesty the Queen tries not to miss. To top it all, their Majesty the

:59:57.:00:07.
:00:07.:00:09.

the most famous shots you will see underneath the trees. You can say

:00:09.:00:13.

all the cars coming down, bringing the medical team, everybody

:00:13.:00:17.

involved with the start, just to make sure that everybody is in

:00:17.:00:22.

place. Any moment now, you should see the winner of the 2012 Derby

:00:22.:00:28.

coming over the hill. There will be nine of them, and they normally

:00:28.:00:35.

stop here, just let the horses relax. We are running a little bit

:00:35.:00:40.

late, but when you are trying to win a race like the Epsom Derby, an

:00:40.:00:44.

extra couple of minutes will not make any difference.

:00:44.:00:54.
:00:54.:01:12.

Camelot remains the very strong motion. He was at the rear of the

:01:12.:01:18.

Praed, but both Camelot and Bonfire had permission to be at the rear,

:01:18.:01:21.

Sir Joseph O'Brien kept him right over against the far rail, away

:01:21.:01:27.

from the other horses. He seems to be perfectly relaxed as he strides

:01:27.:01:33.

up the hill now. There is Bonfire, who got the lead from Isfahan, his

:01:33.:01:40.

stablemate. Feet out of the irons, Jimmy Fortune, and Bonfire being

:01:40.:01:47.

led there, just trying to relax in, trying to reassure him that

:01:47.:01:53.

everything is OK. This is a big occasion, but this is that what he

:01:53.:01:58.

is here for, to race for a classic. This is still the most important

:01:58.:02:02.

Classic in racing. It is now back again as the richest race in

:02:02.:02:08.

Britain, and it is the pivotal race in the calendar in Europe still.

:02:08.:02:12.

Many big targets later in the year, but this is the classic, this

:02:12.:02:21.

decides the leader of a generation. We will soon see. The travelling

:02:21.:02:25.

head lad meeting and leading Bonfire down to the starting stalls,

:02:25.:02:30.

and when they open, we will find out if he is good enough to beat

:02:30.:02:34.

Camelot. Is he good enough to beat Astrology? Is he good enough to

:02:34.:02:39.

beat his stablemate, Minimise Risk? The confidence is leaving you!

:02:39.:02:46.

Getting nervous now, Willie! I am so excited and so thrilled that

:02:46.:02:50.

Derby Day is still this popular, that people want to be here. The

:02:50.:02:55.

Diamond Jubilee is a huge part of it, adding to the whole occasion,

:02:55.:03:05.
:03:05.:03:08.

but they are here for the most how many people have found a spot.

:03:08.:03:15.

They are all around the rail, aren't they? It reminds me of when

:03:15.:03:18.

I won the 200 Derby on Troy, I could hear people shouting at

:03:18.:03:23.

Lester Piggott from a mile out, you could hear people on the side of

:03:23.:03:28.

the course. They were five or 60 all the way around to the mile, and

:03:28.:03:34.

some of them down to a mile and a quarter. You have got people right

:03:34.:03:38.

around the racecourse, and it just shows how popular horse racing is.

:03:38.:03:42.

And as a social occasion how much fun it is and how much they enjoy

:03:42.:03:46.

being close to the horses, watching them coming flying past, there is

:03:46.:03:50.

nothing like it. Joseph O'Brien, looking as cool as anything on

:03:50.:03:56.

Camelot. Very relaxed. He is such a good horseman. He was in the

:03:56.:04:05.

European Championships as an event of. He cannot do any more. Sarah is

:04:05.:04:09.

a good rider, both the girls are, actually. Both of them are very

:04:09.:04:16.

good horse women, and Camelot also been greeted by a member of the

:04:16.:04:26.
:04:26.:04:30.

O'Brien team. He has just got a bit warmed up, Main Sequence. They have

:04:30.:04:35.

candida a hill for about a mile, so obviously they are not going to be

:04:35.:04:42.

a real cool as if they have come out of a shower. Cantering does

:04:42.:04:46.

take a lot, it makes you warm. There are many Derby trials, but

:04:46.:04:51.

the one which is a classic in its own right is the 2000 Guineas, and

:04:51.:04:55.

Camelot won that last time out to maintain his unbeaten record, and

:04:55.:05:00.

what a ride from Joseph O'Brien in terms of keeping cool. He sat near

:05:00.:05:04.

enough last and then came through the field. You can see the purple

:05:04.:05:08.

colours with white sleeves, Joseph starting to ask Camelot now to go

:05:08.:05:12.

through a narrow gap. It looked like he might not get heir in time,

:05:12.:05:19.

but you cannot pull him up. He was always going to win the race. Now

:05:19.:05:23.

he gets the horse into Top Gear, and look at him, he is going away

:05:23.:05:33.

from the rest of the field. The French horse... French 15. The runs

:05:33.:05:37.

tomorrow in the Prix du Jockey-Club, the French Derby. It could be a one

:05:37.:05:45.

to them -- there, and if this's wins here, it will be a shorter

:05:45.:05:51.

price tomorrow. But there is your horse, a Bonfire. He has got

:05:51.:05:56.

another lad to lead him, quite a long way to go. My brother Andrew

:05:56.:06:00.

is standing with Harry Herbert and the other owners. And there's my

:06:00.:06:04.

father, who won this race in 1971 with Mill Reef. My mother is just

:06:04.:06:12.

next to him. That looks like Nigel now, there is mam that looks like

:06:12.:06:18.

he is about to burst into tears, this will be hopeless! I hope I

:06:18.:06:25.

have that problem, but we will see! Will it be a balding afternoon? Not

:06:25.:06:33.

long to go. Room of Cavaleiro, tell us the story behind him. I used to

:06:33.:06:40.

do Sir Percy, his father, and I said to the head lad, I will do him,

:06:40.:06:45.

and look what havoc this was the one. We saw a lot of nervy grooms,

:06:45.:06:49.

but you looked very collected. Maybe because I am an outsider, I

:06:49.:06:54.

have not got as much pressure. But give him a lot of credit, he will

:06:55.:07:00.

not be at the back. Are you proud that he is here at Derby Day?

:07:00.:07:05.

takes a lot to get a horse here, there are only nine out of

:07:05.:07:08.

thousands of three-year-old. It is very good. What will you do if he

:07:08.:07:14.

wins? Not as bad as last time, I went running around like a lunatic.

:07:14.:07:19.

I am a bit more chilled this year. We can see some pictures are palely

:07:19.:07:25.

on Cavaleiro at the moment. I would rather kiss her than Martin Dwyer!

:07:25.:07:32.

Good luck. Thank you very much. Coming over the hill, I can just

:07:32.:07:38.

say the posse of the 2012 Derby. It is amazing, they come to this part

:07:38.:07:41.

and just eased their horses down and take their time coming down

:07:41.:07:47.

here. The winner of the Derby, it is such a huge thing for any horse

:07:47.:07:53.

to do. Right at the front, that is Astrology, Ryan Moore setting the

:07:53.:07:57.

pace for the boys, and it is pretty sedate now. They will be going

:07:57.:08:03.

slightly quicker on the way back. Joseph O'Brien, the 5th horse back,

:08:03.:08:07.

the purple colours, legs out, trying to keep tabs on Camelot,

:08:07.:08:13.

Keepin nice and relaxed. That is what it is all to do. You can just

:08:13.:08:18.

see Josef doing nothing out of the ordinary, very important at this

:08:18.:08:25.

stage not to upset the horse's rhythm. You can see right at the

:08:25.:08:28.

back, Paul Hanagan in that group. Another group is coming underneath

:08:28.:08:32.

the trees, and that is on fire. Clare will be very keen to know

:08:32.:08:42.
:08:42.:08:47.

that he is nice and relaxed, up get a little bit warm now, sweating

:08:47.:08:51.

underneath his saddle, between his legs, starting to feel the pressure

:08:51.:08:56.

of the situation, but as long as he does not do anything silly and they

:08:56.:08:59.

getting into the stalls all right, we will find out. He has got to

:08:59.:09:02.

cope with this course, you have ridden it so many times and been

:09:03.:09:10.

successful four times, what are the challenges of riding around Epsom?

:09:10.:09:16.

Basically, you have to have a horse who has got speed and is brave. The

:09:16.:09:20.

speed to get you a good position, brave because other people will

:09:20.:09:25.

want the spot that you are in, you will get bumped. They run uphill.

:09:25.:09:30.

You cross over, you go from one side of the track to the other, and

:09:30.:09:34.

then basically from the mile and a quarter, all you are trying to do

:09:35.:09:39.

is let your horse off the hook, leave him, let him breathe, let him

:09:39.:09:44.

get to the top of the hill as easily as you can without using any

:09:44.:09:49.

energy, to get up to the seven furlong marker, and then, when you

:09:49.:09:53.

start turning, left-handed, the ground starts dropping away from

:09:53.:10:00.

you. You can see it, Tattenham Corner, the ground has really... It

:10:00.:10:04.

is a hill down, and when you get into the straight, that is when the

:10:04.:10:09.

race starts proper. You can see that the ground is still sloping

:10:09.:10:14.

down until the furlong marker, and then at the half furlong there is a

:10:14.:10:18.

sharp little rise up to the finish. And that allows some horses to make

:10:18.:10:22.

the ground in the dying strides, as Pour Moi did last year, and

:10:22.:10:27.

suddenly come and overtake the two horses in front of him, Treasure

:10:27.:10:32.

Beach and Carton House, a hugely dramatic finish to the race with an

:10:32.:10:38.

amazing turn of foot. Thought Worthy is just being wiped off,

:10:38.:10:44.

William Buick on board. It is one now, Clare, the sun is out. You

:10:44.:10:47.

have bought all the people shouting at them, they have not had that

:10:47.:10:53.

before. The horses have not got into any quiet part of the track.

:10:53.:10:58.

Back down to the start with Mick Fitzgerald. I am just looking over

:10:58.:11:03.

at Jimmy Fortune on Bonfire, he has got a smile from ear to ear, which

:11:03.:11:06.

I am sure Clare Balding will be very pleased to see, he looks nice

:11:06.:11:12.

and relaxed. If the jockey is relaxed, they transmitted to the

:11:12.:11:16.

horse. He is a little bit sweaty, but it is a warm day down here, so

:11:16.:11:22.

I would not be concerned. I think the horse looks pretty good, Clare.

:11:22.:11:26.

It is a relief to everybody who has backed him and his supporting him.

:11:26.:11:31.

A relief to his owners and his trainer as well. Bonfire will be

led around into the stalls. My brother Andrew, his first runners

:11:35.:11:40.

in the race this year, he has also got Minimise Risk. He is seen in

:11:41.:11:45.

some of the big screen and saying get off me! The price is looking

:11:45.:11:50.

pretty interesting as well, the outsider is Minimise Risk. A quick

:12:17.:12:22.

The circumstances, the other horses, the course, the crowd, the distance,

:12:22.:12:26.

everything about his race that means the winner is exceptional.

:12:26.:12:30.

Were that the Camelot or one of the others? We can join Jim McGrath to

Mickdaam is going to be the last run by the champion jockey, Paul

:14:35.:14:41.

Bonfire has improved his place. A length further back is Cavaleiro.

Camelot is now eased to the outside and, with about seven lengths to

make up as they run down Tattenham corner, it's Astrology on the

Camelot goes up. Camelot takes the lead from the stable mate Astrology.

:15:47.:15:53.

He then starts to draw away, the first father son combination to win

the Derby, Aidan and Joseph O'Brien, tight second. Main Sequence on the

behind them was Mickdaam. Followed by Bonfire, Cavaleiro among the

O'Brien and Joseph O'Brien go into the history books as the first

:16:21.:16:25.

father son trainer jockey combination to have landed the

:16:25.:16:31.

Derby and Camelot is part of Derby legend. Officially photo for second

:16:31.:16:34.

but looks like Main Sequence has got up on the near side from

:16:34.:16:38.

Astrology. We'll have a look at that in a moment.

:16:38.:16:45.

Here is the outcome. Here it is. Second number 5 Main Sequence,

:16:45.:16:50.

third number 1 Astrology and fourth is number 9, Thought Worthy. So,

:16:50.:17:00.
:17:00.:17:00.

Camelot the favourite has won it. Camelot, trained by aid Aidan

:17:00.:17:10.
:17:10.:17:11.

O'Brien, ridden by his son Joseph. He has created history by winning

:17:11.:17:14.

quite comfortably in the end in the coolest ride you will see for a

:17:14.:17:21.

long, long time. Don't forget it was only three years and five days

:17:21.:17:28.

since Joseph O'Brien actually rode his first winner. Main Sequence

:17:28.:17:32.

just getting up for second, just ahead of Astrology. And then

:17:32.:17:37.

Thought Worthy back in fourth place, there followed by Mickdaam. Further

:17:37.:17:44.

back, Bonfire, given every chance in a nice position. Followed by

:17:44.:17:50.

Minimise Risk and Rugged Cross and Cavaleiro.

Five lengths and a short head were the distances, 233.90 the time and

Aidan O'Brien's third Derby winner, his first with Galileo in 2001, his

:18:02.:18:06.

second with high chaparral in the fold lowing year, and this, without

:18:06.:18:13.

doubt, will be the proudest moment of his racing life. Here is Rishi

:18:13.:18:19.

talking to Joseph O'Brien. Just trying to grab a word with you,

:18:19.:18:23.

Joseph. Fantastic performance from the horse. Were you ever worried at

:18:23.:18:30.

all? I was a little bit. Didn't come down the hill at all. He

:18:30.:18:34.

didn't do it for a while but he wanted to win today. He had a bit

:18:34.:18:40.

of ground to make up, but what he did from down the top of the hill,

:18:40.:18:46.

as he came down into the home straight, how did that feel, aboard

:18:46.:18:56.
:18:56.:18:57.

him? He's a very special horse. I feel very, very special to be on

:18:57.:19:03.

board him. Thank you to everyone. Your Father, yourself, the first

:19:03.:19:09.

father son combination to win it. Thank you. Well done. Thanks.

:19:09.:19:13.

19 years old and now so much he's already achieved in this sport.

:19:13.:19:17.

It's extraordinary, the emergence of Joseph O'Brien and for Aidan

:19:17.:19:21.

O'Brien, that now completes all four classics that have so far been

:19:21.:19:26.

run in this country. He won the 2thouzginnees with Camelot, the

:19:26.:19:30.

Oaks yesterday with waz, today the Derby with Camelot and they will, I

:19:30.:19:34.

am sure, confirm in the winners enclosure that they are going for

team. It's not a bad story this, add into the mix the father/son

:19:53.:19:59.

making history, and it's a great story. I must give full marks to

:19:59.:20:04.

this young jockey. He was so cool, he sat out the back. This is, don't

:20:04.:20:09.

forget, the most important race of the whole year. I know he's got a

:20:09.:20:15.

pacemaker, but he had to be so cool coming down into Tattenham corner

:20:15.:20:21.

and not panic and go. He waited and he waited and it looked as though

:20:21.:20:26.

he might just have waited too far, but no! He had timed it absolutely

:20:26.:20:30.

with perfection. And that man there who you saw celebrating, Derek

:20:30.:20:36.

Smith, finally sees his colours come home in front in the Investec

Derby, he's finished second in this race five times the last four years

running he's finished second, treasure Beach not beaten far this

year. Her Majesty the Queen looking down and she'll be thrilled that

:20:46.:20:56.

this horse, like her horse, Motivator... She'll be working out

:20:56.:21:06.
:21:06.:21:06.

everything... Camelot will inherit, I'm sure in time, that mantle of

:21:06.:21:13.

the previous winner who died last year. How exciting this that horse

:21:13.:21:17.

is going to ride in St Leger, that will be the first triple crown

:21:18.:21:25.

winner since 1971. 1970. Nijinski. Let's go back to Rishi to get some

:21:25.:21:30.

news of the beaten horses. Before I do, I've got the very,

:21:30.:21:34.

very proud mum, congratulations. Thank you, thank you, I can't

:21:34.:21:38.

believe it, it's amazing. What was watching that like in the closing

:21:38.:21:45.

stages? Torture, yes, but I met Lester Pigott last weekend and he

:21:45.:21:50.

said tell Joseph don't be in any hurry, so I knew when he had time

:21:50.:21:54.

coming it was perfectly timed. Incredible. Congratulations, off

:21:54.:21:59.

you go to welcome him back. Well done.

:21:59.:22:06.

So, he comes back, a magnificent five length winner of the Investec

:22:06.:22:12.

Derby of 2012. And what a performance. When you consider this

:22:12.:22:22.
:22:22.:22:23.

colt, he's unbeaten in four starts, had four classic winners now.

:22:23.:22:33.
:22:33.:22:34.

Joseph O'Brien had his first ride in a race only three years ago. He

:22:34.:22:39.

was aged 16 years and one day then. Won his first race only four days

:22:39.:22:46.

later. Go on three years and here he is landing the biggest, most

:22:46.:22:55.

important race in the world, the Epsom Derby. And the horse who's

:22:55.:23:00.

got huge talent. No doubt about that. With his bloodlines, you are

:23:00.:23:04.

expecting him to be able to make a name for himself over a mile and

:23:04.:23:10.

three quarters in the ledger if they decide to go in that direction

:23:10.:23:15.

-- the St Leger. They've already indicated they would like it to be

:23:15.:23:21.

the triple crown winner. And into the winners enclosure, this very

:23:22.:23:29.

special place, with a horse who's entered Derby legend in front of

:23:29.:23:38.

Her Majesty the Queen. There he is. A magnificent horse. Proud owners,

:23:38.:23:44.

Derek Smith's had 100 group 1 wins which is an extraordinary effort,

:23:44.:23:52.

an extraordinary achievement considering he came into the racing

:23:52.:23:57.

in the year of George Washington colt which is not that long ago. As

:23:57.:24:01.

I said beforehand, it had been a long time for Aidan O'Brien and a

:24:01.:24:06.

frustrating time for him in the Derby having been placed second in

:24:06.:24:13.

four of the last five Derbies. It was becoming a very frustrating

:24:13.:24:17.

experience for him. But he always had confidence in this colt and

:24:17.:24:25.

spoke of him as being something special. He is. The man whose

:24:25.:24:29.

colours were carried to victory is here. Derek Smith, we have spoken

:24:29.:24:33.

to you twice now after the Oaks and the Coronation Cup but this is the

:24:33.:24:37.

one you wanted? This is the one everyone wants. It's not a dream

:24:37.:24:43.

because I could never have dreamt I'd do it. Unbelievable. To win the

:24:43.:24:47.

English Derby was and is a dream come true. What a ride from young

:24:47.:24:52.

Joseph? What a ride and what a horse! He had to travel so easy,

:24:52.:24:56.

come down the outside and you could see it was all over.

:24:56.:25:01.

How do you feel being part of this set-up and this now your 100th

:25:01.:25:05.

Group 1 winner with which you have been personally associated. How has

:25:05.:25:09.

this changed your life? I've had such fun out of it, much

:25:09.:25:12.

appreciation to John and the team at Cornwall. They are a fantastic

:25:12.:25:16.

team of people. To be in ownership with the likes of John and Michael

:25:16.:25:21.

is everything. To be here with your family - I must say hello to my

:25:21.:25:25.

wife who's at home not very well and couldn't travel - hello and

:25:25.:25:29.

well done! It's great to be here and to be part of it. What now is

:25:29.:25:36.

the triple crown on the agenda? suppose it must be, mustn't it!? We

:25:36.:25:41.

may get pressurised into it but John and I will talk with Michael

:25:41.:25:46.

and Aidan and decide. I'll let you pose for the photograph I know you

:25:46.:25:50.

will treasure for the rest of your life as he joins his co-owners of

:25:50.:25:53.

this extraordinary horse,ical lot. What a performance that was. For

:25:53.:25:56.

all the confidence in him beforehand and through his two-

:25:56.:26:01.

year-old career and over the winter, he still had to come here and do it

:26:01.:26:04.

and cope with the whole occasion, make sure he had the clean run

:26:04.:26:09.

through that Joseph managed to negotiate to try and come and cope

:26:09.:26:14.

with the track. Joseph there going into the jockeys' room and making

:26:14.:26:21.

his way through. A price I'm sure I'll be given now, what price?

:26:21.:26:26.

on Camelot is to complete the triple crown and do what no colt

:26:26.:26:31.

has done since Nijinski and add the St Leger to the 2000 Guineas and

:26:31.:26:41.
:26:41.:26:44.

the Derby. Let's confirm the one, two, three for you. Let's also

:26:54.:27:07.

of attention on beforehand, Connections said he didn't handle

:27:07.:27:11.

coming down the hill. Ryan Moore who rode Astrology put in a good

:27:11.:27:15.

performance and said he got tired. Hayley Turner aboard Cavaleiro

:27:16.:27:23.

simply not good enough. Ted Durkan and lan began ran a cracking race -

:27:23.:27:33.
:27:33.:27:37.

- Lanagan ran a cracking race, no real excuses in finishing second.

:27:37.:27:44.

As for Thought Worthy, representing Connections of John Bewick and John

:27:44.:27:50.

Gosden, they think the St Leger will be his ultimate target. John

:27:50.:27:55.

magistrate ner with me now, the senior figure from the Ballydoyle

:27:55.:27:59.

team -- Magner. Of the good horses you have seen in your time, where

:27:59.:28:04.

does he rate? Clearly, he must be right there. I don't want to say

:28:04.:28:07.

too much about him because it would sound kuend of Boastful but it's

:28:07.:28:11.

there for everybody to see really and we are just fortunate to have

:28:11.:28:17.

anything to do with him, especially in the year when his father died,

:28:17.:28:22.

so it's particularly important. the son of a winner, I suppose

:28:22.:28:25.

he'll inherit the mantling at your stud, but between now and then,

:28:25.:28:29.

there are races to be won and a name for him to be made in his own

:28:29.:28:33.

right, so what happens next? Absolutely, we are going to have to

:28:33.:28:38.

take it race by race and we are going to have to give it a lot of

:28:38.:28:42.

thought. Do you want to win the triple crown with him? Well,

:28:42.:28:46.

wouldn't anybody. It's interesting though because not many people have

:28:46.:28:49.

attempted it and you have that chance with this horse? We are all

:28:49.:28:55.

so old now, these things get to mean more when you are older. If

:28:55.:28:59.

you asked me 30 years ago, I would have looked the other way, but

:28:59.:29:07.

we'll see what Michael and Derreck say about it. You did this with

:29:07.:29:11.

Pour Moi last year. With age does that mean more too? We are just

:29:11.:29:14.

going through a good patch at the moment on the other hand can happen

:29:14.:29:19.

and it comes and gs so we have to saver the moment. Enjoy it. Thank

:29:19.:29:23.

you very much -- comes and goes so we have to savour the moment. For

:29:23.:29:28.

Aidan O'Brien, it's ten years since he last won the Derby, so a moment

:29:28.:29:38.
:29:38.:29:39.

classics are concerned this year in Great Britain. As he can say, he is

:29:39.:29:49.
:29:49.:29:58.

heading for a clean sweep, Aidan package, won the 1,000 Guineas.

:29:58.:30:02.

Camelot is completing the classic double by winning the Double. Now,

:30:02.:30:08.

the St Leger, they are talking about that, when you go back to

:30:08.:30:11.

Nijinski's day, there were plenty of other options. Let's see what

because for the very first time in 233 years of Derby history, this is

the first time that a man who has trained the winner has had the

Derby, and one of the benefits of a small field is that they do not get

:33:37.:33:43.

in each other's way. Camelot has a stablemate in the field he will be

:33:43.:33:48.

making the running, and Joseph O'Brien plays it simple. He has the

:33:48.:33:52.

best horse and he keeps him at the back and he keeps him wide, no

:33:52.:33:56.

problems. They seemed to go at a nice even pace, which is just what

:33:56.:34:01.

you want. As they settle down, we will play through the first 20

:34:01.:34:04.

seconds, Astrology in front, Thought Worthy going through next

:34:04.:34:10.

to him in second position, and the first and second horses towards the

:34:10.:34:17.

rear. That is the winner, Camelot. The third is up in front, being

:34:17.:34:21.

chased through by Thought Worthy. Let's move on into the home

:34:21.:34:24.

straight, and coming around the outside here is your winner,

:34:24.:34:31.

Camelot. Main Sequence, the runner up, is right next to him. William

:34:31.:34:36.

Buick has obviously taken on Astrology early, he knows he

released days, no point in waiting for others to come past you.

:34:40.:34:44.

Absolutely, you have got to ride the's to the best of his ability,

:34:44.:34:48.

and that is what William Buick has done. On this occasion, it did not

:34:48.:34:53.

work out. But just look at Camelot bearing down on his stablemate.

:34:53.:34:57.

Joseph O'Brien just giving him a couple of little flicks to

:34:57.:35:00.

concentrate his mind. He knows he has still got a way to go.

:35:00.:35:06.

Interesting as well from the Newmarket win, he lengthens,

:35:06.:35:10.

doesn't he? He is a high-class horse but he needs time to get up

:35:10.:35:15.

to top speed. No doubt about it, a very high-class performance from a

:35:16.:35:21.

very high class horse. He is going to dominate the ranks, he could be

:35:21.:35:31.
:35:31.:35:32.

really will hold on to it and say that, just a tremendous drive, at

:35:32.:35:38.

Joseph is so polite and deferential and kept saying thank you to the

:35:38.:35:41.

owners for giving him the opportunity, for allowing him to

:35:41.:35:45.

ride these good horses, and he has repaid their good faith with a

:35:45.:35:52.

textbook drive. He said the horse did not come down the hill, and it

:35:52.:35:58.

looked as though he was as cool as cool could be. He waited until he

:35:58.:36:02.

got into the straight, eased into the outside and said, go on, son,

:36:02.:36:08.

you have got your stable-companion 10 lengths in front, go and get him.

:36:08.:36:12.

He just gradually asked him to stretch and stretch. Paul Smith,

:36:12.:36:17.

Derek's son, giving Aidan O'Brien a hug. There will be lots of

:36:17.:36:22.

celebrations. They deserve a party, because that is a very special

:36:22.:36:25.

horse, and he was given a very special right by that young boy.

:36:25.:36:29.

You can keep an eye on Joseph O'Brien through Royal Ascot, which

:36:29.:36:34.

will be our next flat racing coverage. He will probably see a

:36:34.:36:37.

friend of inaction in the first race and of the Thursday. That is

:36:37.:36:42.

coming after the European Championships, which starts on

:36:42.:36:48.

Friday, Poland against Greece. Then five days of top-class flat racing

:36:48.:36:53.

at Royal Ascot, Group One races, black caviar coming over from

:36:53.:36:57.

Australia, Frankel on show, we have got everything. Fantastic first day,

:36:58.:37:03.

it will be something special. Really! It will. It has been a

:37:04.:37:09.

fabulous day, gorgeously sunny in the end. In 1900, a horse called
