-and pig competitions...

-..and all the excitement

-of the Cobs.

-Wednesday is definitely

-the busiest day of the Show.

-There's something going on

-in every corner.

-We start in the Main Ring

-with the horses.

-Sections A, B and D

-were in the Main Ring today.

-The main championships

-in Sections A and D...

-..and the youngstock championship

-in Section B were awarded today.

-Heledd Cynwal and Rob Jones

-were the commentators.

-The big one is up next...

-..the Welsh Mountain Pony

-Championship.

-There's a lot of interest in this.

-Are these the best of the best?

-Are these the best of the best?

-

-Yes, definitely.

-The stallion, Talgarth Taylor,

-is in front of us.

-He was named the champion stallion

-a few moments ago.

-He's just having a little trot.

-He moves very freely.

-He's using every leg,

-which pleases me.

-Tracie Topliss

-with Castellau Vienetta...

-..the winner

-of the barren mare class.

-Afan Rock-chick

-won the brood mare class.

-She's owned by Dennis Price.

-Would you like to bet on the winner?

-I'd go for the stallion,

-Talgarth Taylor.

-He looks great today.

-However, seeing them side on...

-..I like the look of

-Ffermymorlais Banter.

-He has been reserve champion.

-It's hard to tell.

-I'd better not say any more!

-We'll wait to see

-what Francis Goggin is going to do.

-Yes, indeed, the young stallion...

-..is the Supreme Champion Welsh

-Mountain Pony at this year's Show.

-Well, well.

-His name is Talgarth Taylor.

-Ann Thomas-Jones exhibited him.

-He's owned by G & E Jenkins

-of Talgarth stud.

-He was sired by Penboeth Tap-dance

-and out of Talgarth Terian.

-He's won the Captain Howson trophy.

-The Reserve Champion. We can see

-Dennis Morgan. It's Afan Rock-chick.

-She's sired by Frongoch Cardi

-and out of Forlan Razzmatazz.

-Talgarth Taylor wins the

-Welsh Mountain Pony Championship.

-He's owned by Mr and Mrs Jenkins.

-Ann Thomas-Jones is delighted.

-Another championship is up next.

-It's the Welsh Pony Championship.

-This is

-for the best youngstock exhibit.

-Yes, it is.

-The prizes have been awarded.

-The Section B

-youngstock championship...

-..is judged by Mrs Ann Bigley.

-The Reserve Champion is the white

-..Waxwing Persuasion.

-Leebrooke Seren,

-owned by Miss Sharon Clapton...

-..wins the Welsh Pony Championship

-for youngstock.

-The competitions at the Show

-started on Sunday evening...

-..with a speed-shearing contest...

-..which is different

-to what usually happens.

-One lamb is sheared

-as quickly as possible.

-There was a lot of excitement

-and laughter.

-Timekeepers ready,

-judges ready, competitors go!

-We class this as a sport.

-The lads are very fit.

-They say that shearing 250 sheep

-is the same as running a marathon.

-These lads shear

-four to five hundred sheep a day...

-..every day of the week,

-which is even more.

-Ian's on to the last sheep, which

-should be sheared in one minute.

-It's easy to build up the excitement

-at the Show.

-The crowd know what they want,

-and even if they don't...

-..they get pulled into the

-excitement and make some noise.

-As a commentator, it's easy

-to create the atmosphere.

-It's one of the best in the world.

-It's one of the best in the world.

-

-Who is fastest?

-I think Richard Jones.

-But who will win?

-Richard, Alwyn, Richard, Richard...

-..yes, Richard presses the red

-button ahead of Alwyn Manzini.

-Well, well, well.

-Time is important...

-..but the shearing

-also has to be clean too.

-A team of judges sits at the front

-looking for second cuts...

-..where the wool is cut twice.

-Another team is at the rear to judge

-the sheep after it's been sheared.

-The quickest, but cleanest, wins.

-It's an exciting week for us.

-I'm sure we'll select a good team

-to compete at world events.

-We'll see who rises to the top

-later in the day.

-The Welsh Championship is at stake.

-Not many sheep remain

-for Gareth Daniel, Gwion Evans...

-..Ian Jones, Kevin Williams,

-Richard Jones.

-Matthew Evans is in the lead.

-He's in with 19 and I'm sure

-he will have two beauties left.

-Gareth Daniel is on his 18th sheep.

-Matthew Evans is on his 19th.

-Just look at him. He hasn't slowed

-from the first to the last sheep.

-He's getting faster

-as the others try to catch up.

-Richard Jones

-goes in for his 18th sheep.

-Who is closest to Matthew Evans?

-Ian Jones, Gwion Evans and

-Richard Jones try their very best.

-Matthew Evans

-finishes his 19th sheep.

-He's in for his final sheep.

-Jack Fagan says one more. Do your

-best because that's your lot.

-You don't have a choice!

-It will mean so much to him.

-A changing of the guard in the

-Welsh Championships looks likely.

-We shall see.

-He has certainly been very fast.

-My money is on Matthew Evans

-at the moment.

-He will be delighted that the

-final sheep is a bit smaller.

-He is really motoring now.

-This is Gareth Daniel

-but we go back to Matthew Evans.

-He only has three or four

-more swipes to make.

-One around the corner

-before he presses the red button.

-Matthew Evans from Gower,

-a nephew of Nicky Beynon.

-Matthew Evans finishes first

-and he has sheared beautifully.

-Gwion Evans finishes

-just behind him.

-Amazing!

-Ladies and gentlemen!

-The winner

-and the Champion Shearer of Wales...

-..is Ian Jones!

-Fair play to Ian Jones.

-He doesn't usually show much emotion

-but he's worked so hard for this.

-He deserves all the plaudits.

-We've had a great week.

-This year, we brought

-Holsteins and Jerseys...

-..and we've won both championships.

-Yesterday was a very successful day

-for Iwan Morgan of Nantybwla farm.

-His father, Edward,

-won the Jersey Championship...

-..and Iwan took the prize

-in the Holstein Championship.

-My father and I farm at home

-and he delights on the Jerseys.

-We like both breeds

-and we're very proud of them all.

-Today, the champions of every breed

-go up against each other.

-Holstein, Jersey, Ayrshire,

-Brown Swiss and the Shorthorn.

-I hope that I win,

-but if not, I hope he does.

-For me, this is the Blue Riband

-for the dairy cows...

-..the Dairy Champion class.

-Tom, these cows are full of milk

-and they have to walk in this heat.

-The standard

-is extraordinarily high.

-It's now the best summer show

-in Europe.

-In the world, Tom, in the world.

-In the world, Tom, in the world.

-

-Winning this really means something.

-The judge is John Gribbon.

-He has forgotten more about dairy

-cows than others have ever known.

-His late father, David Gribbon,

-was the same.

-A father and son are competing

-against each other.

-One with the Jersey,

-the other with the Holstein.

-The Ayrshire from Stuart and

-Phil Williams is being inspected.

-I'm not sure it looks very balanced

-in the hindquarters.

-I totally agree.

-There is a weakness

-in the bottom left quarter.

-The Shorthorn from Cross Hands

-is a good animal.

-It looks better

-than it did yesterday.

-You're absolutely right.

-The Brown Swiss is in front of us.

-They've been affected by the fact

-there weren't as many competitors...

-..in the class as they would like.

-To be fair, they still put in

-as much effort as the others.

-It's important that they are here.

-This Holstein is quite a cow.

-She's also a young cow.

-She moves easily

-and carries her milk so strongly.

-Just look at the veins,

-all the veins across the udder.

-The strength at the front as well

-as the full-bodied, balanced rear.

-She carries her milk high and wide.

-Her udders are solid

-at the back and front.

-Now then, folks, it won't be long

-before John starts his adjudication.

-We will then be able to tell you

-who is the Champion of Champions.

-It's my pleasure to tell you the

-Champion at the Royal Welsh Show.

-It could be the old boy

-with the Jersey.

-It could be the young boy

-with the Holstein.

-Father and son.

-But today, I have to go for...

-..this black and white cow

-in the middle.

-It's the Holstein.

-She's a lovely cow.

-The father gets the reserve

-as his son wins the Championship.

-The Holstein and Jersey

-were both in there.

-It's the best possible result.

-It's like Wales

-winning the World Cup!

-In the next part of the programme...

-..the Lloyd Family Award

-in the Sheep Ring...

-..the YFC flex their muscles...

-..and is there another goat?

-My name is Milwyn Davies.

-I judged the Welsh Hill

-Speckled Face Sheep on Monday.

-They were worth judging...

-..both the exhibitors and the

-farmers who prepared the animals.

-I have judged

-in several small shows.

-This is the first time I've judged

-at the Royal Welsh Show.

-It's been an immense pleasure.

-I've enjoyed every minute of it.

-I come to the Show to socialize

-and make new friends.

-I see all kinds of people.

-I also see how other people

-work so hard with their animals.

-In the evenings,

-I'll go out for a few pints.

-We tell each other some stories,

-and so on.

-Everyone loves it.

-You can't beat it.

-We've reached one of the week's

-big competitions.

-It's the Lloyd Family Award for the

-best trio from any specific breed.

-I'm joined by Rheinallt and

-Bryn Jones from Ceiro, Ponterwyd.

-You've competed in the past. Tell

-us a little about this competition.

-It's a trio competition.

-The judge has chosen three animals

-to come out from each section.

-Usually a ewe lamb,

-ram lamb and ewe yearling.

-In this competition, all three don't

-need to come from the same flock.

-It's harder

-when different flocks mix.

-Looking at them, the farmers

-and judges have done a good job.

-There are lots of

-consistent groups here.

-The judge is going

-through his paces now.

-Russell Davies from Efailwen,

-Clunderwen, Pembrokeshire.

-What will he be looking for?

-You can see

-he's looking at the shoulder.

-He wants to make sure

-the shoulders are good.

-You need good width

-to the shoulders.

-Then when you study the rear end of

-the sheep, they need to be similar.

-Russell Davies, the judge, has cut

-it down from the original twelve.

-There are five left.

-He's going through them now.

-I'm sure all the competitors

-are now very nervous...

-..wondering what the judge thinks.

-Bryn, do you agree

-with the shortlist?

-Yes, I do.

-The five trios left

-are a good choice.

-The Speckled Face trio

-looks very consistent.

-Even the colours match quite well.

-It's a good line-up.

-He's whittled the shortlist

-down to three.

-It's getting steadily smaller.

-The Hill Radnor sheep

-have managed to survive the cut...

-..along with the

-Black Welsh Mountain sheep...

-..and the

-Welsh Mountain (pedigree) sheep.

-This looks a very close competition.

-The judge is ready

-to make his decision.

-He's just walking around

-to make sure of it.

-Once you've made a decision,

-it's best not to rethink it!

-The exhibitors are still striving

-to show their animals at their best.

-He's making them wait!

-He really is.

-They really are nervous now.

-They've come very close.

-It would be a pity not to get it.

-There we go. The Hill Radnor sheep

-have taken the prize.

-It was a strong competition.

-It was a real challenge

-for the judge.

-It's now time to celebrate.

-The Lloyd Family Award

-goes to the Hill Radnor Sheep.

-Many congratulations.

-Many congratulations.

-

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-What does it mean to win

-the Lloyd Family Award?

-It's fantastic.

-You work so hard.

-It's the icing on the cake.

-For those who don't know who you

-are, tell us where you're from.

-My name is Katie. I'm exhibiting

-for Jones and Hovers today.

-Congratulations

-on the Lloyd Family Award.

-The battle between YFC clubs

-continues throughout the Show.

-One of the most popular competitions

-is the tug of war.

-Who will win?

-It's equal in both battles.

-It's 1-1. It all comes down

-to the final pull.

-Here we go. Who's got it?

-That was strong from both sides.

-They've lost their grip!

-Meirionnydd are low down,

-they need to raise their legs.

-Meirionnydd have been warned.

-They touched the floor.

-Meirionnydd are going to take it!

-Oh!

-Oh, no, no, no, no!

-What's happened?

-What's happened?

-The ref has given it

-to Pembrokeshire.

-There were too many

-people on the floor.

-That was so close.

-They had been warned.

-Yes, they had. They did too much.

-Look at the lads' faces!

-They're worthy winners.

-The battle continues

-with the rugby sevens.

-It's

-Carmarthenshire vs Brecknockshire.

-Dyddgu Hywel joins me.

-Brecknock have looked strong.

-Yes, I think Brecknock are taking

-advantage of the small errors...

-..that Carmarthenshire

-are making unfortunately.

-Carmarthenshire work hard as a team.

-It's two against one.

-They should score.

-That's very good.

-Ben Thomas scored.

-Owain Thomas scored.

-He used his strength

-and good footwork. It was fantastic.

-Unfortunately, it's too late.

-There we go. Brecknock have won

-the rugby sevens at the Show.

-Brecknock 26-19 Carmarthenshire

-was the final score.

-How are you, Iwan?

-Congratulations. How does it feel

-to win at the Royal Welsh?

-Hot. No, it was a good game, really.

-It's nice to win.

-We've won three times before.

-Ceredigion have beaten us

-the last two years. That was nice.

-The old goats

-never get to sit centre stage.

-For some like Aeron Edwards

-there are no creatures like them.

-They need a lot of care and

-attention. It's a real challenge.

-It's a challenge to get everything

-right for me personally.

-Because I keep Anglo Nubians,

-the head has to be right.

-The body and the udder

-need to be right.

-But the billy goat

-has plenty of filthy habits.

-They turn their heads and pee all

-over their faces and beards.

-The wetter and smellier they are,

-the better.

-You'd need gloves to handle them.

-Definitely gloves and a shower.

-Even though Aeron won a prize...

-What have you won?

-What have you won?

-

-Best of breed.

-The Supreme Championship

-went to the British Alpine goat...

-..owned by Mrs and Miss

-T & M Ogborne from Bristol.

-Join us after the break

-for the day's big Championship.

-If you like a bit of horsepower...

-..the Main Ring on Wednesday

-afternoon is where you need to be!

-Welcome back.

-It's starting to cool down here

-and the crowds are heading home.

-But the horses entertained us all

-during the afternoon.

-The crowds

-were whipped into a frenzy...

-..as the horses

-galloped around the ring.

-Last year, Dorian Lloyd,

-the blacksmith from Llanfechain...

-..made headlines as he won

-the Triple Crown with the Cobs...

-..and

-the George Prince of Wales Cup.

-How he will get on this year,

-I wonder?

-The top class has arrived

-in the Main Ring.

-That's why people are queuing

-to get into the grandstand...

-..and have been for hours.

-These are Welsh Cobs

-and these are the older stallions...

-..over eight years old.

-It's quite a sight

-and a great atmosphere.

-Yes, indeed. Every year,

-this is many people's highlight.

-Some people from West Wales

-only come out three times a year...

-..to the Lampeter Show, Glanusk Show

-and the pinnacle, the Royal Welsh.

-Arwyn Hughes, the judge...

-..has been building to this moment

-on Wednesday afternoon.

-We will be enjoying

-this competition.

-The ring is almost full already.

-They just keep on coming.

-This is Trefaes Black Flyer...

-..from Rhydeilian Stud.

-He's being examined at the moment.

-The horse is from Anglesey.

-I think they're based

-in Llanfair PG.

-That's where Rhydeilian is, yes.

-Trefaes is a bit closer to us here,

-of course.

-Trefaes Black Flyer is currently

-in first place in this class...

-..for stallions

-over eight years of age.

-Mandy Davies

-is the owner of Tregare Cymro.

-The exhibitor is David Gardiner.

-I think this horse

-was second here last year.

-Fourways Solo with John Haywood.

-Sired by Llanarth Solo

-and out of Fourways Jade.

-The horse is owned

-by Mr John Haywood.

-This is Dorian Lloyd from

-Llanfechain...

-..with Haighmoor Orient Express.

-He's the son

-of Derwen Railway Express...

-..who was Reserve Champion

-last year.

-Dorian Lloyd, a blacksmith,

-owns him at present.

-It's interesting

-what Arwyn Hughes is thinking.

-The stallion from Anglesey

-is at the top.

-The prize has gone to Anglesey.

-Alun Hughes. Trefaes Black Flyer.

-Many congratulations

-to Trefaes Black Flyer...

-..from Rhydeilian Stud.

-We're looking

-at the Welsh Cob Championship.

-We're looking at the stallions.

-There are four in this competition.

-These are the best from the two

-classes of stallions we've seen.

-I think he's made his mind up.

-There's the chief steward, Aled.

-He's looking at him.

-I think it will be the

-senior stallion today, we'll see.

-You're right.

-There it is.

-Trefaes Black Flyer.

-Alun Hughes gets another

-rosette for Trefaes Black Flyer...

-..from the Rhydeilian stud.

-We've got to see the young winner,

-Cascob Brenin Dafydd.

-He's come back in to compete

-for the Male Championship.

-Here he is.

-He's come to a decision.

-He's speaking to the steward.

-I think it might be Black Fyer.

-Oh! Brenin Dafydd! He is the king.

-He came through

-the other two stallions.

-Cascob Brenin Dafydd

-owned by Mrs Philippa Owens...

-..has won this championship

-for Welsh Cob males.

-This is the Supreme Championship.

-This is the important competition.

-This is the line-up...

-..for the Section D Championship.

-The question is...

-..how will they be placed

-in the Championship?

-Where will Arwyn Hughes

-point his hat?

-Philippa Owens.

-Cascob Brenin Dafydd!

-He's literally the king this year.

-The George Prince of Wales Cup goes

-to Philippa Owens from Cascob Stud.

-This is the Champion Welsh Cob,

-Cascob Brenin Dafydd.

-He's owned by Philippa Owens.

-Remember that name,

-he's quite a king.

-There were five animals vying

-for the Supreme Championship.

-The judges chose the Landrace sow

-which had already proved herself.

-She stood out in yesterday's

-competitions.

-I think she still stands out today

-despite the hot weather.

-I chatted with the judge earlier.

-His reasoning was that this sow...

-..obviously shows that she

-has produced and raised pigs.

-He thought that this was

-a very special Welsh pig.

-We've had a fantastic day.

-It was a fierce competition...

-..and there were five of us

-out there as breed champions.

-We were chosen as the winner.

-Yes!

-Yes!

-

-It's twenty years since we last won.

-It's not often you can claim

-to be the best so we're very happy.

-The Pairs Championship was won by...

-..Huw and Ela Roberts

-from Oinc Oink in Llithfaen.

-They had a pair of Welsh pigs

-born in January...

-..which were excellent animals.

-I agree 100% because they matched

-each other completely.

-We've had a very successful

-afternoon.

-We won the Boar Championship,

-Reserve Champion in Show...

-..and we also won

-the Pairs Championship.

-We are tremendously happy.

-It's a great boost to the awareness

-of our pigs throughout Wales.

-I hope that helps...

-..with the selling of the pigs

-and the meat over the next year.

-Every Championship today

-has stayed in Wales.

-For judges from deepest,

-darkest England...

-..to come here and choose

-not only Welsh pigs...

-..but pigs which have been bred

-in Wales, is very important.

-Here in the Sheep Ring...

-..we've started on the

-championship competitions.

-Our first is Native Upland Breed.

-I'm joined by Jane Thomas

-of Bryngwyn farm, Whitland.

-Welcome.

-Welcome.

-

-Thank you.

-Are you ready for this afternoon?

-I think it's going

-to be quite a sight.

-The standard of competition

-is very high.

-We started with 16 sheep

-in the ring.

-We are now down to five.

-Jane, you know the judge.

-Do you know which he'll choose?

-To be honest,

-he's made his decision.

-It looks to me

-as though he likes Cheviots.

-He's also got

-the Kerry Hill sheep in.

-They are also large sheep. He's

-kept the Speckled Face sheep too.

-I think he's already decided.

-He's made his decision.

-He didn't mess around.

-He clearly knows his mind.

-The North Country Cheviot

-has taken it.

-This is the

-Continental Championship.

-Herbie Kennedy

-has whittled them down quickly.

-Four sheep have made his shortlist.

-The Charollais, the Rouge,

-the Blue Texel and the Texel.

-They're all fantastic, aren't they?

-This really is the best

-of what a show is.

-You can see the creme de la creme

-of the continental breeds here.

-I think that a decision is close.

-He's decided.

-He's decided on the...

-He's decided on the...

-

-..Texel.

-It's owned by Giles Hardman from

-Farm Mill Blues Gloucestershire.

-We've moved on to the

-Native Lowland Breed Championship.

-The judge has been

-going through them...

-He's picked the Suffolk!

-Sinnett & Sons

-have taken the Championship.

-That was the final Championship

-before the Supreme Championship.

-Here we are in the Sheep Ring

-for Wednesday afternoon's highlight.

-We're choosing the Supreme Champion.

-That is the task for the judge

-this afternoon.

-He's got a lot of weight

-on his shoulders.

-Fair play to him,

-he's done a very good job.

-He's looked at everything.

-He's made his decisions.

-He's made another one!

-He's made another one!

-

-It's the Suffolk!

-The Suffolks have taken it.

-Sinnett & Sons from Stockton-On-Teme

-are the winners.

-John Sinnett, many congratulations.

-John Sinnett, many congratulations.

-

-Thank you very much.

-John Sinnett, many congratulations.

-You won the breed,

-you won the Lowland Championship.

-You said this was the one that

-counted. Indeed, she performed.

-She's just one in a million.

-You don't get many like this.

-It's nice to go all the way.

-We've come close, we've won it

-before. It's special, this one.

-Congratulations.

-In the final part...

-..the Dairy Team of Five...

-We meet more

-of the Show's characters.

-A big battle in the shearing shed.

-looking forward to the FitzHugh...

-..for the best pair of dairy cows.

-Tom?

-This is quite a challenge.

-There are some excellent pairs

-in the ring.

-The two Ayrshires are very good.

-They're owned by

-Phil and Stuart Williams...

-..and they're from the Willhome herd

-in Pembrokeshire.

-How long have they kept Ayrshires?

-A long time. They have some

-fantastic individual cattle.

-The two Ayrshires are a very good

-pair to kick off the competition.

-There are two Jersey cows

-behind the Ayrshires.

-The father and son team

-appeared in the championship...

-..but here it's the father

-and daughter-in-law!

-They won this competition last year.

-This is the first time ever

-that the same person...

-..has exhibited both cows

-for the FitzHugh...

-..having reared both as well.

-He deserves praise for that.

-We can see the two Shorthorns

-coming behind.

-Simon is showing this cow.

-I think the other one

-belongs to Gellirodyn.

-They're the two Shorthorns.

-The Brown Swiss

-is going past us now.

-This pair is suffering a little

-from a lack of balance.

-This breed must be one

-that produces a lot of milk.

-Oh, yes.

-It's good-quality milk as well.

-They must be the best two Ayrshires

-I've seen in a while.

-They'll be good competition

-for the two Holsteins.

-I've been wrong once before

-this morning about the Jerseys...

-..so maybe

-I shouldn't get ahead of myself!

-The judge goes back, takes a look

-first of all at the Jerseys...

-..and walks past the Ayrshires

-and comes up behind the Holsteins.

-In a while, we'll know...

-The Ayrshires have won it!

-The Holsteins win the reserve.

-The Ayrshires

-win the FitzHugh Championship.

-But which breed won the Team of Five

-for dairy cows?

-How many are here, Tom? About four?

-How many are here, Tom? About four?

-

-Four breeds.

-Unfortunately, the Brown Swiss

-haven't got a team.

-It's a good competition

-to end the morning of competing.

-We can see the Jerseys passing now.

-They've walked a lot already

-this morning.

-But they're still at their best.

-Quite a few of these...

-..competed as pairs

-and individual entries earlier.

-The Shorthorns

-come after the Jerseys.

-They aren't as consistent.

-There is a heifer in with the cows.

-That always makes it more difficult

-to get the right balance.

-Here are the Holsteins. They have

-a good representation of cattle.

-Yes, the team is well balanced.

-They go well together

-in terms of size.

-They have beautiful udders,

-full of milk.

-They move well too.

-It's nice to see such a good team.

-The Ayrshires will be up next.

-I've been supporting the Ayrshires

-quite a lot this morning.

-They may have lost their way

-once or twice.

-I do believe the Ayrshires

-here this year...

-..are better than what

-we've seen here for a few years.

-The judge has pulled them in.

-He's going down

-to see them from behind.

-The Holsteins have taken the prize.

-The Ayrshires are second.

-I agree completely with the judge.

-There we go, the Holsteins take the

-FitzHugh Team of Five Championship.

-The Ayreshire cattle

-won Reserve Champion.

-Congratulations to them all.

-HAKA

-Are we ready to rumble?

-And off we go, the first lamb

-is out for these four chaps.

-This is the big test

-and the day's highlight.

-John Kirkpatrick and Rowland Smith

-challenging Wales' new team...

-..Ian Jones and Gwion Evans.

-It's the big test, can they keep

-these energy levels up?

-There are 20 sheep in the pen.

-They're a bit behind at present.

-Ian Jones and Gwion Evans together.

-They're showing the way

-at the minute.

-He's been your favourite all day...

-..you've had nothing

-but praise for him.

-He's rewarding you for that praise,

-Aeron Pughe.

-There are four lambs

-left in the pen.

-Ian Jones

-got a little kick there.

-That's given

-John Kirkpatrick a chance.

-Ian Jones has caught him up.

-He's overtaken him.

-The crowd are on their feet.

-Ian Jones is a local boy.

-John is trying to catch him.

-Ian Jones!

-John Kirkpatrick is trailing him

-by a second.

-Who's next? There's nothing between

-one and four.

-Gwion Evans is from Llansannan.

-He finishes off and presses red.

-Rowland Smith, the Kiwi is the last

-to finish. There's no shame in that.

-Incredible!

-Ladies and gentlemen...

-..the winners of the

-Wales vs New Zealand test...

-..Wales!

-Well, Owen Griffiths...

-..the highlight of the day

-was the George Prince of Wales Cup.

-How exciting is it to commentate

-on S4C and in the ring generally?

-You have to consider the history

-to this Cup.

-It was donated 107 years ago...

-...and the Cup is priceless.

-Many famous names have won this Cup.

-Mostly studs from Ceredigion,

-the home of the Welsh Cobs.

-Today, we saw one of the youngest

-ever winners of the Cup.

-A three-year old colt foal,

-Cascob Brenin Dafydd.

-He certainly was the king today.

-What are your hopes for the future?

-It's my delight, to be honest.

-I am interested in horses,

-more so than I am in commentating.

-The horses are the basis

-of my passion.

-Will you continue to do the job?

-Will you continue to do the job?

-

-If they keep asking me, I will.

-Owen, congratulations

-and thanks for the chat.

-Enjoy as much of the show

-that's left as you can.
