most majestic race course in the UK. We're here live at Ascot, huge

:00:44.:00:48.

crowd gathered for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, a

:00:48.:00:51.

race named in honour of the late King George VI and the Queen Mother,

:00:51.:00:55.

and a huge crowd gathered here to witness horses from the UK, from

:00:55.:00:59.

Ireland, France, from Japan, from Germany as well. We've also got in

:00:59.:01:03.

the race an Australian jockey, an Italian jockey and Frankie Dettori

:01:03.:01:06.

obviously, but it is a great British day out and rare for this

:01:06.:01:11.

summer, a racing Saturday where the rain isn't pouring and the wind

:01:11.:01:15.

isn't blowing a Gail, which certainly makes it more fun for the

:01:15.:01:19.

children and makes picnics rather easier to negotiate. It should be a

:01:19.:01:24.

fantastic day of sports, and the main race itself is due off at

:01:24.:01:28.

4.45pm, but we're here until 5.00pm. We'll be building up to a race that

:01:28.:01:33.

is so historic and has been won over the years - first run in 1951

:01:33.:01:43.
:01:43.:01:54.

just lets him canter. What a horse this is. The fantastic winner of

:01:54.:02:04.
:02:04.:02:04.

the King George. Makes it 15 out of 15. He's going to win it in

:02:04.:02:14.
:02:14.:02:31.

tremendous style. Look at Mont Jeu. history? Only two horses have ever

:02:31.:02:38.

won back-to-back King George VIs, the first was the filly Dahlai in

:02:38.:02:42.

'73, then coming into the 21st century or just at theent of the

:02:42.:02:49.

20th, Swain did it twice in '97 and '99. The question is could

:02:49.:02:53.

Nathaniel be the third and only the third horse to come here having won

:02:53.:02:58.

the King George, then do it again the next year? The man onboard will

:02:58.:03:01.

be hoping that is the case. Ryan Moore gets the leg-up on Sea Moon,

:03:01.:03:09.

a horse with so much potential, a huge long stride as well. That is

:03:09.:03:12.

Andreas Starke who rides Dandedream and Olivier Peslier is on Reliable

:03:12.:03:18.

Man, looking very cool, and we have a Japanese runner, Yasunari Iwata

:03:18.:03:24.

will be the jockey onboard Deep Brillante.

:03:24.:03:29.

And Frankie Dettori there talking to William Buick - both of them

:03:29.:03:33.

riding for John Gosden. He'll be on Masked Marvel.

:03:33.:03:38.

Willie is with us. We have Steve Drowne, sadly not to ride. Lovely

:03:38.:03:42.

to see you. Thanks. This should be a sensational day, shouldn't it?

:03:42.:03:45.

should be fantastic. This is the best I have seen for a long time of

:03:45.:03:50.

the King George anyway, so looking forward to it. If you're a fan of

:03:50.:03:56.

Just a Minute, you know they have to speak on Radio Four without

:03:56.:04:00.

hesitation or repetition so we're going to reel awe off the field of

:04:00.:04:08.

ten because they include... The Arc, the King George... The Breeders Cup.

:04:08.:04:16.

Coronation Cup Twice. Melbourne Cup. Hong Kong Vase. Jockeys' club.

:04:16.:04:19.

St Ledger. I think I get done for hesitation. In between those the

:04:19.:04:25.

jockeys have won in excess of �14 million in prize money, so the big

:04:25.:04:27.

question is, if they're looking for the winner, what would you suggest

:04:27.:04:32.

they back? The thing is it's such a very open,

:04:32.:04:36.

competitive race. You've got Nathaniel, who won this race last

:04:37.:04:42.

year. He's just won the Eclipse, but it was only two weeks ago, so

:04:42.:04:46.

obviously, there is the bounds factor, which is - he's racing over

:04:46.:04:50.

a very long period of not racing, then two weeks ago he has a race,

:04:50.:04:53.

so sometimes horses need a little bit longer to get over that race,

:04:53.:05:00.

then we have got the Japanese Derby winner, last year's Arc winner.

:05:00.:05:04.

Exactly - Deep Brillante and Dandedream. What do you fancy?

:05:04.:05:08.

like Sea Moon. He's got to improve, but I think he is improving. He's

:05:08.:05:12.

probably the least exposed runner in the field. He's going the right

:05:12.:05:18.

way. He ran the Hardwick well last time. There is a lot of pluses. It

:05:18.:05:22.

could be his day. He has to improve a little bit. He has everything

:05:22.:05:26.

going for him. I think he is improving. Exactly. We'll try to be

:05:26.:05:30.

a little clearer what we think as we get closer to the race. Key is

:05:30.:05:33.

seeming thing in the paddock, seeing them on what is this

:05:33.:05:40.

gleaming, slightly overcast day. Summer hasn't arrived. We have a

:05:40.:05:44.

lot to look forward to. As well as four live races, this is what we've

:05:44.:05:48.

got in store for you this afternoon. We take you behind the scenes to

:05:48.:05:52.

explore the day in a life of a stall's handler, arguably the most

:05:52.:05:58.

dangerous job of all on a race course.

:05:58.:06:03.

Her Majesty the Queen will be presenting the trophy for the King

:06:03.:06:10.

George. She was receiving one in the Royal Ascot. Could be she'll be

:06:10.:06:17.

cheering home another favourite. Mick Fitzgerald has been to Germany

:06:17.:06:27.

to look at the preparations for the Arc-winning filly Dandedream.

:06:27.:06:31.

The top team for Royal Ascot is John Gosden and William Buick.

:06:31.:06:34.

They're flying, so we take a look at what makes their relationship

:06:34.:06:38.

work and why they're so successful. Amongst the winning King George VI

:06:38.:06:42.

winners we have Sea Moon, St Nicholas Abbey, the Melbourne Cup

:06:42.:06:46.

winner Dunaden and from Japan, their Derby winner Deep Brillante.

:06:46.:06:50.

But race goers have been here since about 12.00pm because there's been

:06:50.:06:54.

so much else to enjoy and two races already. The first of them, the

:06:54.:07:02.

real highlight for lady amateur riders, now sponsored by Longene.

:07:02.:07:08.

There was a field of 24 this year. Nina Carberry was there and Katie

:07:08.:07:16.

Walsh who thinished third in the Grand National and Hayley, onboard

:07:16.:07:21.

Red Viz. Let's pick up the closing stages with commentary from Jim

:07:21.:07:29.

McGrath. Red Viz is sweeping through with Day of the Eagle. On

:07:29.:07:35.

the near side, Apostle fighting it out with Red Viz. They're in a

:07:35.:07:41.

photo. Just behind them is Day of the Eagle, third, followed by Great

:07:41.:07:43.

Shot. The winning distance was officially

:07:44.:07:50.

the minimum, a nose, as Hayley Moore just held on on Red Viz from

:07:50.:07:56.

Leanne Masterton on Apostle. She came into the winner's enclosure

:07:56.:08:04.

looking very happy. Quite relieved as well, a little uncertainty which

:08:04.:08:14.
:08:14.:08:45.

way the photo would go. A great Yes, excellent racing here today on

:08:45.:08:48.

King George day, and as far as the mile racers are concerned, we've

:08:48.:08:52.

got one on the straight course and one on the round course. Carlton

:08:52.:08:55.

House is on that summer mile on the round course, but we've got one on

:08:55.:08:58.

the straight course coming up know. Let's check the runners and riders

:08:59.:09:03.

for this particular event. It's the Deloitte Handicap. We have a field

:09:03.:09:13.
:09:13.:09:48.

of 11. Take out number four. Let's on the straight mile.

:09:48.:09:54.

And the betting as follows - The favourite is Chil the Kite at

:09:54.:10:04.
:10:04.:10:27.

around the country and race meetings still being abandoned this

:10:27.:10:32.

week but it's drying out at Royal Ascot, but what's it like way out

:10:32.:10:36.

in the country? Mick is there now, and he can stick his heel in and

:10:36.:10:40.

tell us. Thanks I am down here at the four-furlong pole on the round

:10:40.:10:43.

course. Ascot is no different than any other course. They have had

:10:43.:10:46.

twice as much rain in the first couple of weeks of July than they

:10:46.:10:50.

normally, have but it's draining really well. You can see I can get

:10:50.:10:55.

my heel in easily there. It's good to soft on the round course but

:10:55.:10:58.

we're here on the junction of the straight course. It's totally

:10:58.:11:01.

different. It's good ground, drying all the time. It's not going to

:11:01.:11:08.

suit all horses. It will suit thes like of Masked Marvel and St

:11:08.:11:11.

Nicholas Abbey and I am hoping it suits the one I like Sea Moon -

:11:11.:11:16.

good ground on there, drying all the time. It's not going to suit

:11:16.:11:20.

all horses. It will suit the likes of Masked Marvel and St Nicholas

:11:20.:11:24.

Abbey, and I am hoping it will suit the one I like. Apologies for the

:11:24.:11:28.

mixup with the sound, but that was Mick telling us about the ground.

:11:28.:11:31.

We'll have a look at the favourite, Chil the Kite, cantering down to

:11:31.:11:35.

the start. Ryan Moore onboard. It's interesting, when Hugh which

:11:35.:11:39.

Morseon and Ryan Moore team up, they have a 50% strike rate. He's

:11:39.:11:44.

ridden for him eight times, won on four of them since 2011, and this

:11:44.:11:47.

horse would have a really decent chance. Willie and Steve still with

:11:47.:11:53.

me, and there we are with live shots of Chil the Kite. Steve, what

:11:53.:11:58.

do you reckon? I like him. I rode him as a two-year-old. He won a

:11:58.:12:02.

maiden at Goodwood well then. last run at Doncaster was very good,

:12:02.:12:07.

wasn't it? Yeah, very good. But I mean, competitive racing when he

:12:07.:12:11.

ran well - first time out this year, he was probably a little bit

:12:11.:12:15.

unlucky. He was a bit free, ended up in front. It didn't suit him.

:12:15.:12:20.

He's the 11-1 favourite, and arriving in the nick of time, Her

:12:20.:12:24.

Majesty, the Queen. She has Carlton House running, also has a runner in

:12:24.:12:29.

Newmarket with a decent chance, and the Queen will, as always, be

:12:29.:12:33.

making the presentation before - Prince Harry did it last year, but

:12:33.:12:37.

the Queen back here on King George day and will be making the

:12:37.:12:43.

presentation for that race, not coming by Royal procession here,

:12:43.:12:48.

but instead, in the very, very smart chauffeur-driven car, and

:12:48.:12:52.

crowds out to wave, and a lot of Union flags have been handed out

:12:52.:12:56.

today, so people have them in their hands and can show their support

:12:56.:13:03.

and their enthusiasm. So the Queen will make her way up to the Royal

:13:03.:13:11.

Box. Got a good view over the paddock as

:13:11.:13:17.

well as the race course itself. Johnny Wetherby, Her Majesty's

:13:17.:13:19.

representative at Ascot, greeting the Queen.

:13:19.:13:29.
:13:29.:13:31.

live race, the Deloitte Handicap, arriving at the start. Oh, and

:13:31.:13:35.

Willie just pointing out that also after we go off air... She'll be

:13:35.:13:40.

here for a long time today, Her Majesty. The Queen has two

:13:41.:13:46.

runners... The ten past 5.00pm race. One is Bank Bonus. His breeding is

:13:46.:13:52.

he's by Motivator out of Small Fortune, so she called him that -

:13:52.:13:56.

quite funny. If you look at all the Queen's horses, they've all got

:13:56.:14:00.

very, very good names, and Her Majesty names all her horses

:14:00.:14:03.

herself. William Buick is currently second in the jockeys' championship

:14:03.:14:09.

behind Ryan Moore. He's having a stunning season, running a horse

:14:09.:14:14.

called Fire Ship, another runner in the race today, Takeitfromalady on

:14:14.:14:18.

Fire Ship's reappearance, and I wonder if he could actually beat

:14:18.:14:22.

Takeitfromalady today because the jaights changed slightly, and he's

:14:22.:14:27.

four pounds better off. Fire Ship, he's - Peter Winkworth, who used to

:14:27.:14:32.

train, and all his horses he used to train are having an absolute

:14:32.:14:36.

fantastic season, because he does have a runner in the next race as

:14:36.:14:40.

well. Plenty of people supporting Deep Brillante. We'll be keeping an

:14:40.:14:45.

eye on this horse - Miblish because this gives Yasunari Iwata a sighter

:14:45.:14:49.

of Ascot race course, and Clive Brittain making sure he has a

:14:49.:14:53.

chance to get out there and feel what it's like because, as we know

:14:53.:14:57.

from jockeys coming over here - Luke Noeland not realising how

:14:57.:15:00.

uphill the finishes are and nearly getting caught. All the race

:15:00.:15:05.

courses in Japan, as most of it, is very, very flat. There is hardly a

:15:05.:15:09.

ridge over there, and of course, when these jockeys come to our race

:15:09.:15:12.

courses, they don't - they cannot believe the ups and downs and the

:15:12.:15:18.

bumps and - that we have to put up with. And to finish what I was

:15:18.:15:22.

saying about Luke Noeland, Black Caviar nearly getting caught on the

:15:22.:15:27.

line. That was a little bit of a mistake. In the Diamond Jubilee.

:15:27.:15:33.

There is Takeitfromalady, as I was mentioning because he has form,

:15:33.:15:38.

trains with Jim Crowley onboard. Jim, his wins have come on soft or

:15:38.:15:42.

heavy ground. We'll find out how much it's drying up. I imagine

:15:42.:15:46.

after yesterday it's drying out. I would think it's just good ground.

:15:46.:15:50.

Whether it will be soft enough or not, I'm not too sure for him.

:15:50.:15:55.

there's - this field here today with the draw, they'll all go up

:15:55.:15:59.

the middle, will they, Steve? pretty sure. It all depends where

:15:59.:16:02.

the pace horses go, but all yesterday they went up the middle.

:16:02.:16:06.

I can't see the first race - up the middle. I would imagine the same

:16:06.:16:12.

would happen again. Frankie Dettori supporters can get 9-1 on Prince

:16:12.:16:17.

Alzain who has won the all-weather over the winter, then second on a

:16:17.:16:21.

listed race again on the all- weather, but at the moment Gerard

:16:21.:16:25.

Butler just having a bit of a quiet year. He actually ran very well on

:16:25.:16:33.

the grass at Epsom. Came from a long way back, was a little bit

:16:33.:16:36.

unlucky. Richard Hughes already won today, his second race, takes the

:16:36.:16:43.

ride here on My Queenie. -- for his father-in-law, Richard Hannon.

:16:43.:16:48.

My Queenie with Richard - of course, he's deciding to let all these

:16:48.:16:52.

horses run because of this soft ground because most of his horses

:16:52.:16:56.

he trains do prefer to have a sound surface, and obviously, Richard

:16:56.:17:06.
:17:06.:17:11.

Arnold Lane. Just about ready. That's it. They're racing. Chil the

:17:11.:17:15.

Kite drops back towards the rear early, and out the back too is My

:17:15.:17:19.

Queenie. On settling down, the Japanese rider Yasunari Iwata is

:17:19.:17:23.

taking up a prominent position just on the far side, but on settling

:17:23.:17:28.

down, it's Flaxen Flare with the white cap who leads them from Lucky

:17:28.:17:38.
:17:38.:17:38.

Henry on the near side, Fire Ship, in the centre, Redvers, then

:17:38.:17:41.

Miblish, Prince Alzain, followed by Takeitfromalady on the near side.

:17:41.:17:46.

My Queenie is back in the field. They're followed next in the field

:17:46.:17:52.

then by Lady Loch, spotted cap on the far side. A length further back

:17:52.:17:57.

under a tight rein, Chil the Kite seven length off the pace. They

:17:57.:18:00.

leave the five behind them and Flaxen Flare shows the way. Fire

:18:00.:18:05.

Ship is up there. Lucky Henry in the centre who is showing out there

:18:05.:18:09.

with Redvers. There is Chil the Kite, a long start. Flaxen Flare

:18:09.:18:12.

just the leader from Redvers and Lucky Henry, the far side. Near

:18:12.:18:16.

side is Fire Ship ridden along. Arnold Lane just in behind them.

:18:16.:18:19.

They're followed then by Prince Alzain coming into it. In behind

:18:19.:18:22.

them is Miblish, who has dropped back, followed then by My Queenie

:18:22.:18:25.

in the centre, and now Chil the Kite taking to the near side.

:18:25.:18:28.

They're starting to run on. Anybody's race with a furlong-and-

:18:28.:18:32.

a-half left to go. On the near side it's Fire Ship ranging up, and

:18:32.:18:36.

here's Chil the Kite, who is absolutely rocketing home, grabs

:18:36.:18:39.

the lead and a couple of bounds now, Chil the Kite. He's come from last

:18:39.:18:43.

and starting to draw away. Chil the Kite drifting to the far side

:18:43.:18:47.

violently, but it's enough in hand, and goes on to win it quite well.

:18:47.:18:52.

Chil the Kite, the winner, a tight second - no, it's not on the near

:18:52.:18:57.

side. Takeitfromalady comes up to get second. Blanket third, Lady

:18:57.:18:59.

Loch, Flaxen Flare. Just behind them is Fire Ship followed by

:18:59.:19:05.

Miblish, and they're followed by Arnold Lane. Behind them is Prince

:19:05.:19:10.

Alzain, then Lucky Henry well back, and towards the rear My Queenie.

:19:10.:19:14.

Chil the Kite, though, a peak performance, has come from last

:19:14.:19:18.

ridden by Ryan Moore, a 5-2 favourite. And he's ridden it like

:19:18.:19:21.

a favourite, a confident ride, it was. He set out the back. He was

:19:21.:19:26.

happy to be there, and he's gone on to win it by a length-and-a-half to

:19:26.:19:31.

maybe two lengths on the line. Takeitfromalady has gone up to get

:19:31.:19:36.

second. Blanket for third, and Lady Loch on the far side. Near side,

:19:36.:19:40.

Fire Ship. Flaxen Flare in the centre, three-way go. Leave that to

:19:40.:19:44.

the judge for third. Arnold Lane just in behind them, then the

:19:45.:19:50.

Japanese rider Yasunari Iwata on Miblish just behind them. Then a

:19:50.:19:58.

gap of four lengths or so to Prince Alzain, and behind them is Lucky

:19:58.:20:02.

Henry, and they're followed by My Queenie, who has finished well back,

:20:02.:20:11.

and also Redvers -- Red Art. Michael Hills a long way from them.

:20:11.:20:15.

That's the last horse to cross the line. The winner, he's pretty good,

:20:15.:20:23.

Chil the Kite. He's a colt by Not Now Cato, Copycat, ridden by Ryan

:20:23.:20:26.

Moore, who was quite content to sit out to back, but when he went for

:20:26.:20:31.

him, he made up the ground about seven lengths. He made it up very,

:20:31.:20:34.

very quickly, and he was very confident. Interesting that he just

:20:34.:20:38.

veered to his right across the track, across the face of the field,

:20:38.:20:42.

but he was at least two lengths clear of them and did no damage

:20:42.:20:46.

whatsoever, but there he is. There's the veering. You can see

:20:46.:20:52.

him there, and Ryan's got his whip in the right hand, but it's no, no

:20:52.:20:57.

avail. He's still heading towards that far side rail. He violently

:20:57.:21:01.

has to check him there. He's got him straightened up a little bit

:21:01.:21:06.

better. But that's just green. He's gone to the line very strongly in

:21:06.:21:11.

the end, and he's going to climb higher through the ranks. That's

:21:11.:21:17.

for sure. So the result of this Deloitte Handicap over a mile on

:21:17.:21:21.

the straight course, first, number five, Chil the Kite, Ryan Moore,

:21:21.:21:25.

trained by that man, Hugh which Morrison, 5-2 favourite, second,

:21:25.:21:30.

number nine, Takeitfromalady, at 6- 1, and third, number 11 - it's

:21:31.:21:40.
:21:41.:21:45.

official now, Flaxen Flare in the just not the distance, but in terms

:21:45.:21:49.

of the victory, the way he did it coming right the way around the

:21:49.:21:53.

field, waiting until he felt the moment was right. He hung a bit. He

:21:53.:21:56.

believed... He's a green horse. He looked as though he was a green

:21:56.:22:03.

horse. He sat last on him. He let them all have a go, and - and, um,

:22:03.:22:09.

sort of, you know - he sort of went to go left-handed, then he went

:22:09.:22:16.

right-handed, and he just ran so green, but you remember, he won on

:22:16.:22:24.

his father... Not Now Cato. In the Eclipse Stakes. His trodgeny this

:22:24.:22:31.

year are having a good year. He's half-brother to Pastoral Player,

:22:31.:22:39.

also trained by Hugh which Morrison who runs in our next race. It's a

:22:39.:22:43.

family double. Interesting was the Japanese jockey on Miblish - looked

:22:43.:22:47.

like he lost his balance towards the finish. As we know in Japan,

:22:47.:22:51.

the tracks are all very level, but here, they don't come across these

:22:51.:22:55.

situations. That'll give that jockey a lot of experience before

:22:56.:23:00.

he rides his horse in the King George. You can have a look here at

:23:00.:23:02.

Miblish and what you think about Yasunari Iwata. I was just thinking

:23:03.:23:07.

about him thinking, hello, did he nearly fall off? He grabs ahold of

:23:07.:23:12.

it. He bumps the saddle a few times. He's losing his balance, and, of

:23:12.:23:17.

course, you see, he's had a couple of cracks. Oops. What was he doing?

:23:17.:23:21.

Maybe that's just his style. No, no. You see the horse just kinked a

:23:21.:23:27.

little bit with him, and he didn't quite have a hold... Meanwhile, the

:23:27.:23:30.

winner absolutely flew, but look how much ground he loses. The

:23:30.:23:36.

stride keeps going forward. He's amazingly... What a race for second.

:23:36.:23:39.

Wasn't it fantastic? But Ryan Moore's horse there is definitely a

:23:39.:23:45.

horse that he hasn't come to the end of his improvement. It looks as

:23:45.:23:49.

though he can still improve, and maybe one day you might just put a

:23:49.:23:53.

hood or some cheek pieces on him just to keep him going straight.

:23:53.:23:57.

Let's hear the reaction of his trainer, Hugh which Morris. He's

:23:57.:24:00.

with me now. An impressive performance and a horse clearly on

:24:00.:24:06.

the up. He's obviously decent. Ryan - the first thing he said was, "I

:24:06.:24:11.

came too early." - he went past them too quick. He's green, shied

:24:11.:24:16.

away from the stands. As I said in the Racing Post, he's still

:24:16.:24:19.

learning. He settled beautifully, and he's a lovely horse. How far do

:24:19.:24:22.

you think he can go? I think probably in time he'll get a mile

:24:22.:24:26.

and a quarter. The great thing is if you can settle and quicken, you

:24:26.:24:33.

never know what you can get, but you know, these pastoral pursuit,

:24:33.:24:37.

they're pretty decent if they can settle. In the NHS next race, there

:24:37.:24:42.

is a horse who has shown glimpses of good form this year. How do you

:24:42.:24:47.

think he'll get on against Carlton House? It's fun to try a mile. He

:24:47.:24:51.

won a Group 3 over second. It might be just a furlong too far, but six

:24:51.:24:55.

furlongs in the Group meeting here was too quick. They didn't kick

:24:55.:24:58.

early enough. He needs to come off a pace, but you know, they're both

:24:58.:25:04.

very good horses, a good mare. the form overall this season for

:25:04.:25:08.

you, Hugh, hasn't been too bad. That was your 23rd of the season.

:25:08.:25:12.

But you have been quiet recently. Nice to get one in the winners'

:25:12.:25:17.

enclosure. We haven't had any good ones running lately. We have had a

:25:17.:25:20.

couple of winners, and most of our horses don't go on what I call

:25:20.:25:24.

heavy ground. We don't train them on it and don't expect them to go

:25:24.:25:28.

on it. He's good. He's proved it today. I hope the success continues.

:25:28.:25:38.
:25:38.:26:00.

Thank you very much. the performance of the winner with

:26:00.:26:04.

Ian Bart let. Thanks, Claire. Good afternoon. A pretty tight

:26:04.:26:06.

competitive mile handicap we have for these three-year-olds to begin

:26:06.:26:11.

with. Who better to talk about the winner with us because Steve has

:26:11.:26:14.

ridden this one. We'll have a look at the start. He's a horse that

:26:14.:26:18.

needs to be held up. He comes out of stall four. Richard Fahey's

:26:18.:26:22.

horse from stall four rode a little bit awkwardly, but she again likes

:26:22.:26:26.

to come from the back of the field, doesn't she? When you miss a break

:26:26.:26:29.

and are held up, it's not a bad thing. You're in the position you

:26:29.:26:34.

want to be in. It's not necessarily a negative. They have both done

:26:34.:26:37.

well here. I didn't think the race was over in the first half of the

:26:37.:26:42.

race. The race warms up as they go on. In the closing stages of the

:26:42.:26:46.

second, those who weren't up with the pace are finished - the winner

:26:46.:26:50.

and also from the back of the field - Lady Loch comes in there as well.

:26:50.:26:53.

It seems to be a pretty decent pace the whole way through. Let's swap

:26:53.:26:56.

now to the closing stages of the race. This is the winner here on

:26:56.:27:00.

the outside. Just look at the filly there. She's still running on well,

:27:01.:27:04.

Lady Loch. This horse, he hangs today from our, as we look at it,

:27:04.:27:09.

right, all the way over to his left - just a little kink he has?

:27:09.:27:14.

don't think there is necessarily any badness in him. It's still

:27:14.:27:17.

inexperienced still. As you can see, it certainly doesn't stop him going

:27:17.:27:21.

forward. Just as he got there, he stepped in behind one a little bit,

:27:21.:27:24.

but he certainly - as I say, I think he's still learning, and

:27:24.:27:28.

hopefully, that'll be ironed out in time. A good thing about it, of

:27:28.:27:31.

course, means he doesn't win by quite so far, so the handicapper

:27:31.:27:35.

can't put him up by so much. So in effect, the horse almost hides his

:27:35.:27:38.

ability, doesn't he? He does. But you can see, he's come from the

:27:38.:27:42.

back. He's quick and passed everything. There's no excuses for

:27:42.:27:45.

anything. It's obvious he's a fairly good horse. I would imagine

:27:45.:27:48.

he'll get one cut in handicap and move into passing company. Indeed.

:27:48.:27:52.

The family is going in the next as well. His half-brother is called

:27:52.:27:56.

Pastoral Player you'll be seeing in the next mile race. Again, he's a

:27:56.:28:00.

very talented horse - not sure over a mile. That's sort of unknown

:28:00.:28:04.

quantity with him. Certainly, sprinting, he's a good horse.

:28:04.:28:07.

the younger half-brother has won that mile handicap in very good

:28:07.:28:11.

style. Deloitte, the sponsors of this race. The Trentation was made

:28:11.:28:21.
:28:21.:28:22.

by their Vice Chairman, and Hayley Lawrence and Graham Doyle accepting.

:28:22.:28:29.

He was explaining to Ricci he hasn't run that many who have had a

:28:29.:28:32.

huge chance. There is a really decent crowd here as well as the

:28:32.:28:36.

racing I said earlier - they came early, and one of the things they

:28:36.:28:40.

enjoyed was the parade of horses that have been retrained from a

:28:40.:28:44.

career in racing to then go on and do something else, whether it be

:28:44.:28:54.
:28:54.:28:55.

dressage or... That grey horse was Dansili. This is I think what the

:28:55.:29:01.

kids really enjoy - Monsignor, a fantastic horse, a Cheltenham

:29:01.:29:06.

Festival winner is so good with them. To have him here today for

:29:07.:29:13.

people to get up close and touch an ex-racehorse. Giving him Polo

:29:13.:29:17.

mints! Look at all of those mints he's getting.

:29:17.:29:21.

The public love to see horses competing. They feel a bit

:29:21.:29:25.

distanced from it with racing. They feel good... You cannot touch a

:29:25.:29:31.

horse. Exactly. But you can with this old guy. He's a good fella. He

:29:31.:29:34.

has been around Cheltenham, a dual Cheltenham winner. He has been

:29:34.:29:39.

around there. He loves giving the Polo mints. The kids can give him a

:29:39.:29:43.

pat on the neck. It's good to get people even coming out of the

:29:43.:29:46.

cities just touching an animal because they've got no chance of

:29:46.:29:50.

doing it. The only thing they can get there in the cities is cats and

:29:50.:29:53.

dogs, isn't it? You can't get anywhere near a horse. No, that's

:29:53.:29:56.

true. That's true, and I think an awful lot of people coming here as

:29:56.:30:02.

well - because the King George is a prestigious, historic race, a lot

:30:02.:30:06.

of them in this next race will be cheering on Carlton House, a horse

:30:06.:30:10.

we saw a lot of this last year - he was third in the Derby. He's

:30:10.:30:14.

actually looked a better horse this year. He ran at Sandown, then was

:30:14.:30:20.

second in the Prince of Wales. lost a shoe in that race in the

:30:20.:30:24.

Derby. He has no chance - he's now going around the paddock because

:30:24.:30:28.

he's obviously got some vet wrap around his feet there just in case

:30:28.:30:33.

he, you know, sort of spreads a plate or something. It's a

:30:33.:30:38.

protective measure, you know? don't often see that, do you?

:30:38.:30:41.

But obviously, he's possibly prone to just catching his shoe or

:30:41.:30:46.

something, so they don't want to have him reshod, but he won't run -

:30:46.:30:50.

I wouldn't have thought so - he wouldn't run with those on anyway.

:30:50.:30:57.

It's just - it looks like vet wrap. It might be a - the vet wraps

:30:57.:31:02.

holding, something like a slipper on. Looks like little blue ankle

:31:02.:31:05.

socks. Looks cute. Exactly. talked about getting up close to

:31:05.:31:11.

the horses and touching them. The people who do that on a daily basis

:31:11.:31:15.

are stalls handlers. There is team of 17 of them here. We wanted to

:31:15.:31:22.

give you an idea of what it's like. Phil Ashley is the lead stall

:31:22.:31:25.

handler... They have to touch the horses. They do. He can tell us

:31:25.:31:35.
:31:35.:31:58.

soon as it is ready, we let the gates go just to make sure

:31:58.:32:06.

everything is working fine and he's happy with the stalls.

:32:06.:32:16.
:32:16.:32:17.

to stand. They stand in the middle, and the jockeys walk around them.

:32:17.:32:21.

You keep away from them so nobody gets kicked. Now we just go down to

:32:21.:32:26.

the next stand and do it all again. Leave your Land Rover in. Take it

:32:26.:32:34.

into the middle - take it over by Ann.

:32:34.:32:37.

He comes down and gives the lads their leads, which order to put

:32:37.:32:47.
:32:47.:32:47.

soon as they jump off we have to get the stall off, because

:32:47.:32:56.

obviously they come past here again. Travel around, see different people,

:32:56.:32:59.

different race courses. You know, a day like this it's a lovely job,

:33:00.:33:07.

isn't it? This is the best time of the day, the last race. It's an

:33:07.:33:10.

apprentice race, so they're inexperienced jockeys so we take

:33:10.:33:18.

more time and care with them. Very good day, yeah, we have had no

:33:18.:33:22.

problems. As soon as I finish here I am down to my digs and going to

:33:22.:33:32.
:33:32.:33:35.

have a pint and something to eat. have ridden all over the world, how

:33:35.:33:39.

do they rate the British stall- handlers? They're pretty good. Most

:33:39.:33:42.

people when you see a horse panicking run away. They're paid to

:33:42.:33:47.

get in there with them. They are very, very fit and brave lads. They

:33:47.:33:51.

understand the horse and when a horse is really panicking they know

:33:51.:33:55.

how to handle that horse because normally it's a very, very

:33:55.:33:59.

dangerous time when you have a horse thrashing, wanting to get out

:33:59.:34:03.

and loses his confidence. The horse in panic is not a very nice thing,

:34:03.:34:08.

but those guys have to deal with it. It was only just last week I was

:34:08.:34:11.

watching television and the first race at Haydock was delayed for a

:34:12.:34:15.

long time because one of the stall handlers got kicked and he had to

:34:15.:34:20.

be taken off in an ambulance. So it's a very, very dangerous job.

:34:20.:34:23.

Mick Fitzgerald is there at the start with the team.

:34:23.:34:28.

Yeah, thanks, Clare. I have one of the starters here. Everybody thinks

:34:28.:34:32.

it's just simple. Load them up. We know the stall handlers do a great

:34:32.:34:36.

job. What order do do you it? We have a list here and it looks like

:34:36.:34:41.

a foreign language to me. Yes, to everybody else it probably looks

:34:41.:34:45.

like greyhound form. To us we get a list of all the problem horses we

:34:45.:34:48.

know of, in this race there is two that have history. One is Carlton

:34:48.:34:56.

House. He was loaded last time with a blindfold and took a late request.

:34:56.:35:03.

That's what BLO, late request, minous OK. He was OK. Today, we are

:35:03.:35:08.

going to load with a normal blind left on and he will go in first.

:35:09.:35:13.

you have 23 runners do you load the odds first, evens, how does it go?

:35:13.:35:17.

Generally we load everything with a blindfold goes first and then odds

:35:17.:35:21.

and evens. If you are drawn one of 20, one doesn't necessarily go

:35:21.:35:26.

first. It could be nine could go first. Odds are odds, evens are

:35:26.:35:31.

evens. What's a good day for you? When everything goes smooth and we

:35:31.:35:34.

don't leave any behind. You hear that, Clare.

:35:34.:35:40.

That's good for everybody! Good for the jockeys as well. There is

:35:40.:35:44.

Joseph O'Brien, he has been walking the course, thorough in his

:35:44.:35:48.

preparations. He will be taking the ride for St Nicholas Abbey for his

:35:48.:35:53.

father. St Nicholas Abbey, when this race was first priced up, he

:35:53.:35:56.

was favourite. But he's been drifted and sort of alarmingly

:35:56.:36:01.

drifting at times. He is now only third favourite. Nathaniel, last

:36:01.:36:11.
:36:11.:36:21.

year's winner and Sea Moon are ground, will it be soft enough now?

:36:21.:36:31.
:36:31.:36:40.

way into the paddock so she can have a close look at Carlton House

:36:40.:36:43.

and Willie and I are intrigued as to whether those blue shoes that he

:36:43.:36:49.

was wearing or blue socks, have disappeared and I think they have.

:36:49.:36:56.

He will be running - it was only then for travelling purposes that

:36:56.:36:59.

he had the blue bandaging on around his feet and I can see him now and

:37:00.:37:07.

he doesn't have them on any more. Let's check this field for the

:37:08.:37:14.

Summer Mile. It's over a mile, naturally. Sponsored by

:37:14.:37:24.
:37:24.:37:46.

Carlton House in the paddock, walking calmly now. We will see if

:37:47.:37:49.

we can get you a look at his feet. You have noticed something about

:37:49.:37:53.

them and maybe he had the blue tape on. He looks as though he has had a

:37:53.:38:01.

bit of hoof broken off and he has a little bit of plastic moulded on to

:38:01.:38:06.

his off-four. I can assure you that he's had a little bit of farrier

:38:06.:38:11.

work done and those bandages were just in case anything was going

:38:11.:38:14.

wrong because they've obviously been putting a bit of plastic in

:38:14.:38:18.

there just to make his foot that little bit bit stronger because he

:38:18.:38:22.

might have had a bit of a hole there. That's the reason,

:38:22.:38:26.

precautiousary stuff. Nothing to worry about. He looks well in his

:38:26.:38:31.

body. He's always been a very good looking colt. He is out of a filly

:38:31.:38:38.

called Talented who I used to ride myself. She ran in the Italian Oaks,

:38:38.:38:42.

didn't win it. She never won over a mile and a half herself, always won

:38:42.:38:46.

over a mile and quarter. But she was very affected at a mile, as

:38:47.:38:52.

well. But he is a lovely looking colt. Very athletic. Of course,

:38:52.:38:58.

today is the day that he will have to show how good he is, because his

:38:58.:39:01.

opposition is not as good as normal. What do you think about the

:39:01.:39:04.

decision to drop him back in distance to a mile? I suppose it's

:39:04.:39:14.

because of his stallion, the stallion is a horse who produces a

:39:14.:39:20.

lot of speed in Street Cry. He has horses who are - they don't always

:39:20.:39:28.

stay a mile and a half type and he is American. But he is of an Oaks

:39:28.:39:34.

winner, actually. You know, obviously the stamina should be

:39:34.:39:38.

there but he has taken from the speed side of his family. We will

:39:38.:39:42.

talk more about the other runners in this race. We have been joined

:39:42.:39:46.

here by Frankie Dettori. He hasn't been very well of late, have you.

:39:46.:39:54.

Is it catching?! You give your kids everything and all they give you

:39:54.:40:04.
:40:04.:40:05.

back is conjuntivitis. You had a real thrill here at Ascot, carrying

:40:05.:40:08.

the torch, on the horse we saw earlier. It was interesting because

:40:08.:40:12.

I am not sure the horse liked it much, the torch, but great for you.

:40:12.:40:16.

I have been here with Royal Ascot for the Queen and had great moments

:40:16.:40:20.

but never seen a crowd like it for this Olympic torch. It was amazing.

:40:21.:40:25.

I was completely overwhelmed because all I thought I had to just

:40:25.:40:29.

carry the torch and pass it on to somebody else. It was amazing.

:40:29.:40:32.

the 8,000 people in total who will carry that torch you are the only

:40:32.:40:37.

one who would be daft enough to do a flying dismount with it! I saw

:40:37.:40:40.

the pictures and thought you are kidding. Actually, I was looking

:40:40.:40:43.

forward to do it and I got my trainers and I didn't realise I had

:40:43.:40:48.

to do it on horseback until about the day before. It was pretty

:40:48.:40:53.

amazing. I didn't realise what the Olympics means to everybody. We

:40:53.:40:59.

only got a week left. It's great to be part of it. Now you have ridden

:40:59.:41:03.

a Cheltenham winner. That's right and I didn't have to jump anything,

:41:03.:41:06.

that was lucky. I have to agree, I couldn't believe... You have done

:41:06.:41:10.

it, as well. I did it in Newbury and I got emotional about it,

:41:10.:41:12.

because all these people are there and children and adults all

:41:12.:41:17.

cheering and you suddenly think - and they say to you before you are

:41:17.:41:24.

the only person at that time in the world in charge of the flame, I got

:41:24.:41:29.

wb -- wobbly about it. You don't realise just carrying that torch,

:41:29.:41:33.

because within seconds everything is going to go like clockwork. I

:41:33.:41:36.

guess about six hours ahead to get everybody in the right place at the

:41:36.:41:41.

right time and to be doing it for 60 days is amazing. Amazing and

:41:41.:41:45.

they're great people helping run it. It all starts next week. We better

:41:45.:41:48.

ask you about the chances of Masked Marvel, whether you think the

:41:48.:41:54.

ground is all right and what you think of the race, overall? Start

:41:54.:42:02.

now? We are waiting! I have ridden classic winner. Johnnie is sweet on

:42:02.:42:06.

the horse. He had a lot of excuses at Newmarket, didn't handle the

:42:06.:42:10.

track. He will like the ground? Like the ground, he is good in the

:42:10.:42:14.

strait. Probably good to soft in the back. You know, he is an

:42:14.:42:19.

amazing King George. Not just one horse can win it, there is about

:42:19.:42:24.

five or six. Looking at the field, if you give me a choice which one I

:42:24.:42:29.

would like to ride I wouldn't know to be honest, I like Sea Moon, an

:42:30.:42:33.

improving horse. St Nicholas Abbey has been very good last two times.

:42:33.:42:38.

Then the Arc winner. She hasn't run well, mind you. And Nathaniel as

:42:38.:42:43.

well. Nathaniel won The Eclipse. It's going to be a fantastic race.

:42:44.:42:48.

The Japanese Derby winner. He has a mountain to climb. For a three-

:42:48.:42:51.

year-old to travel halfway across the world to take on the best of

:42:51.:42:57.

Europe, he's got a big task ahead. Have hu a word with William Buick

:42:57.:43:01.

about the horse? I did, yes. you going to let us know, or not?

:43:01.:43:07.

He said to me I am not without a chance. Gave me some good hope.

:43:07.:43:12.

wish Frankie luck. Just look at some of these runners for the

:43:12.:43:15.

Summer Mile. Let's go to Jim to look at one that went down early

:43:15.:43:21.

and check on the betting. Pastoral Player, just a little bit

:43:21.:43:25.

fractious coming on to the course. He does go down early to the start.

:43:25.:43:31.

This is his normal trend. You can see Daryl Holland there showing

:43:31.:43:37.

quite a lot of balance and skill to stay in the saddle as this horse

:43:37.:43:40.

just is not on his best behaviour and that's very much the reason why

:43:40.:43:47.

he goes to the start early. He is down there safely now. This is the

:43:47.:43:57.
:43:57.:44:22.

favourite Carlton House in a moment but let's look at a few of the

:44:22.:44:28.

others that have have chances and one - could have chances of

:44:28.:44:32.

finishing second, because Willie you think Carlton House is a

:44:33.:44:38.

certainty. Questioning, they're just in such good form, his horses

:44:38.:44:46.

and he and William are hugely successful team. The Queen just

:44:46.:44:49.

passing by, and she has favourite in this race. Tell me about

:44:49.:44:53.

Questioning, he is a solid horse. Runs consistent. Like Willie said,

:44:53.:44:58.

they're all going for second. If Carlton House produces his form...

:44:58.:45:02.

Most of the horses in the race are coming up, and he is going down.

:45:02.:45:07.

That's it. Basically, that's enough to say that he should win this race.

:45:07.:45:13.

A penalty kick. And Italian taking it. Exactly, we are in business

:45:13.:45:19.

then. Looks well enough, Questioning. This is Tullius. He

:45:19.:45:25.

has won all three starts since he switched to Andrew and he is the

:45:25.:45:29.

only horse to come into this race off the back of a win last time out,

:45:29.:45:33.

but this is a different class of race and I wonder whether he will

:45:33.:45:39.

struggle. He has made running in the past and I don't foresee - he

:45:39.:45:44.

could be really close to the pace and might nick a length or two

:45:44.:45:48.

around the bend. As you said, he will be actually riding him

:45:48.:45:57.

possibly for second money. That's not - good prize money, �56,000 to

:45:57.:46:02.

the winning horse. I can't get away from Carlton House. He is so much

:46:02.:46:09.

superior to the others. The official figures say he is - only

:46:09.:46:16.

got 5lbs in hand. Still a lot, if you take 5lb off... Let's look at

:46:16.:46:21.

him finishing second to So You Think. The reason they're dropping

:46:21.:46:26.

back down to a mile is he's come there with a furlong to run and

:46:26.:46:31.

looked like he could win it. I was in the race and I was unlucky,

:46:31.:46:40.

stopped for a run. I remember when I went past Ryan after the line he

:46:40.:46:43.

just turned round to me and said we are going to drop him back to a

:46:43.:46:47.

mile. He gave in. So You Think passed through. He had more stamina

:46:47.:46:50.

and you can see the horse did not finish that day and that's why they

:46:50.:46:54.

wraut him -- brought him back to a mile. He was in a battle for a

:46:54.:46:58.

furlong and a half with one of the best best horses in the world.

:46:58.:47:02.

only thing that might not suit him is there if isn't enough pace, he

:47:02.:47:07.

can be keen. I would say that Ryan Moore today, if Frankie Dettori was

:47:07.:47:11.

riding that horse today he would make the running. Just let him

:47:12.:47:15.

slide along, go his own pace, because all you want for this horse

:47:15.:47:20.

to do today is to do what it can do and nothing else in the race will

:47:20.:47:26.

get near him, is that correct? T will be pace. With Red Jazz and

:47:26.:47:31.

Tullius. It won't be a crawl, tphouf get -- enough to get settled

:47:31.:47:41.

and find rhythm. You don't think he is a thinker? He is a thinker to

:47:41.:47:44.

get into the stalls. Ryan Moore taking his time, making sure that

:47:44.:47:50.

the horse isn't scared by the big crowd. It was interesting Hughy

:47:50.:47:55.

Morrison saying of his horse Chil The Kite, that he thought he heard

:47:55.:47:59.

the crowd. He looks fine. He is going to be taken down gently. He

:47:59.:48:03.

will arrive at the mile start and among those he will see there will

:48:03.:48:13.
:48:13.:48:14.

be Mick Fitzgerald. We are actually seeing Hughy

:48:14.:48:17.

Morrison's inmate getting collected. Horses are creatures of habit, they

:48:17.:48:21.

like to have people around them, day in, day out. You can see

:48:21.:48:26.

immediately here we have Barry Oldman, he is the farrier, just in

:48:26.:48:29.

case anything goes wrong. There is the team of stall handlers all

:48:29.:48:36.

ready for action of the -- for action and to load them quickly.

:48:36.:48:40.

better let you go. Best of luck and fingers crossed. Fingers crossed

:48:41.:48:45.

for you. Let's hope it turns out to be King George everybody expects.

:48:45.:48:53.

Can you send a doctor if we have this contagious disease? Thank you,

:48:53.:48:57.

Frankie. Let's look at the market with Jim.

:48:57.:49:07.
:49:07.:49:22.

Runners arriving at the post and of Richard Hannon and Hughes. They

:49:22.:49:26.

have Cai Shen, the lowest rated of of these horses but has run well at

:49:26.:49:31.

Ascot twice, second in the Britannia last year and 6th from

:49:31.:49:35.

not a great draw in the Royal Hunt Cup. Could be the running, I

:49:36.:49:39.

suppose. We were talking about tackics. Richard Hughes is a

:49:39.:49:43.

dangerous man, if you leave him alone in front. This horse who ran

:49:43.:49:48.

in a listed race at Sandown over a mile and a quarter, so he really

:49:48.:49:52.

wouldn't want to be going too slow because he is a horse that will get

:49:52.:49:58.

every yard of a mile, even the ground is on the holding side, from

:49:58.:50:02.

the start down to the turn from home. The ground is always a bit

:50:02.:50:09.

slower than in the strait. Richard Hannon won this race last year with

:50:09.:50:13.

Dick Turpin. Carlton House, he looked settled early on and still

:50:13.:50:21.

is. Gone down there very nicely. Very relaxed. Seems to be in very

:50:21.:50:30.

good humour with himself. Which always helps, that is true.

:50:30.:50:35.

Red Jazz there, trained by Charles Hills. It was interesting what you

:50:35.:50:38.

were saying to Frankie, if he was on Carlton House he would let him

:50:38.:50:43.

making the running. You wouldn't if you have frontruners, you drop in

:50:43.:50:48.

behind. But if they were want to play games and try to get Carlton

:50:48.:50:55.

House beat by not making a running and going slow, - just let Carlton

:50:55.:51:01.

House slide on and make the running. A couple of words on Red Jazz. Won

:51:01.:51:05.

the Group 2 challenge Stakes at Newmarket. Hasn't been good since

:51:05.:51:10.

but finished second in the Lennox last year. He is a good horse.

:51:10.:51:14.

horse, he is a horse that you would have to think possibly would finish

:51:14.:51:18.

second. Well, have a chance of second. He is a very strong type of

:51:18.:51:24.

animal. A mile would be his ideal trip. He has run over seven. You

:51:24.:51:30.

would think he would be suited by today's trip of going. He has run

:51:30.:51:33.

on the strait a lot. Going around the turn just might help him.

:51:33.:51:38.

is a horse coming back after a long break, Set The Trend, hasn't run

:51:38.:51:48.
:51:48.:51:49.

for 294 days. His first start for David O' Meara.

:51:49.:51:52.

Set The Trend. Your brother trained him before. The question is, is he

:51:52.:51:56.

ready for a race of this quality having not run for so long?

:51:56.:52:00.

Obviously he's changed trainers and changed in the way to train the

:52:00.:52:04.

horse. He's gone up to Yorkshire, maybe the Yorkshire air might be

:52:04.:52:08.

better. They'll be trying new things. Obviously, they're going

:52:08.:52:13.

for a bit of prize money. He looks well. He has filled out. Looks well.

:52:13.:52:18.

Mick is down there, any visual clues from you? All I can say is

:52:18.:52:21.

that Ryan Moore has timed it to perfection on Carlton House. He got

:52:21.:52:26.

him down here, and he's gone straight into the stalls. He looks

:52:26.:52:32.

very calm. The other ones, like number seven, Set The Trend, looks

:52:32.:52:38.

relaxed. There's nothing playing up at the moment.

:52:38.:52:42.

Ryan Moore, he recommended the drop back to the mile, to both the Queen

:52:42.:52:49.

and Sir Michael Stoute. See the blindfold on there. He will

:52:49.:52:54.

put his hand on the handle and be ready to pull that hood off, just

:52:54.:52:59.

as the starter is about to let them go. There he is, reaches forward.

:52:59.:53:06.

Grabs the hood. He is watching the starter. They're off and running.

:53:06.:53:10.

Mising it badly there was Pastoral Player. By four or five lengths.

:53:10.:53:15.

Carlton House on the outside began OK. Looking over Ryan Moore, on the

:53:15.:53:20.

inside Cai Shen is booting up there. Tullius with the white cap and

:53:20.:53:25.

behind them Set The Trend. Further back in the field behind them,

:53:25.:53:31.

Fanunalter out deep on the track is Questioning. Further back in the

:53:31.:53:33.

field Red Jazz. After missing the start Pastoral Player has caught

:53:33.:53:40.

the field. Racing up now towards the 5-furlong marker. Carlton House

:53:40.:53:44.

has got over in second. One off the rail. A length away in third, the

:53:45.:53:51.

inside, Tullius. In the centre Set The Trend. Questioning. Behind them

:53:51.:53:55.

is Fanunalter, followed by Red Jazz and then Pastoral Player. They head

:53:55.:53:58.

up towards the entrance to the home strait. Three and a half furlongs

:53:58.:54:05.

to travel. Cai Shen travelling quietly by a half length to Carlton

:54:05.:54:08.

House. Three parts away then out deeper is Questioning coming into

:54:08.:54:12.

the picture now. Followed by Tullius. Further back is Set The

:54:12.:54:15.

Trend from Red Jazz. They swing the corner now and straighten up for

:54:15.:54:21.

home. Two furlongs to go. Now he says go, Ryan Moore on Carlton

:54:21.:54:24.

House. Grabs the lead from Cai Shen. Behind them is Questioning.

:54:24.:54:33.

Followed further back by Tullius. Fanunalter. A furlong to go.

:54:33.:54:36.

Carlton House can't shake off Cai Shen. Pastoral Player getting up on

:54:36.:54:40.

the fence and Fanunalter, Fanunalter is flying! Fanunalter

:54:41.:54:44.

and Pastoral Player. Fanunalter doing better and Fanunalter

:54:44.:54:47.

Fanunalter has got up to beat Pastoral Player. Third place behind

:54:48.:54:52.

them is Tullius. Followed by Cai Shen, Carlton House, disappointing.

:54:52.:54:56.

Followed then by Set The Trend and further back is Questioning and Red

:54:56.:55:06.
:55:06.:55:10.

Jazz. Fanunalter, Olivier Peslier at 33-1. The Frenchman, he has

:55:10.:55:15.

pounced and he's got the money. Here he is on the outside.

:55:15.:55:21.

It's Fanunalter who gets up to win it by a head to a neck. Pastoral

:55:21.:55:25.

Player, who missed the start so badly, we saw that. Three parts

:55:25.:55:32.

away then in third, Tullius. Then tight 4th. Far side Cai Shen, near

:55:32.:55:36.

side Carlton House. Absolutely locked together, leave that to the

:55:36.:55:41.

judge. Behind them is Set The Trend. It's

:55:41.:55:46.

a dead heat 4th, that's official. Then Questioning behind them,

:55:46.:55:53.

followed then by Red Jazz. Still waiting for one more, I think. But

:55:53.:56:00.

no doubt about the winner, Fanunalter. Ridden by Olivier

:56:00.:56:10.
:56:10.:56:14.

Peslier. His first start for trainer Michael Wigham. A notable

:56:14.:56:18.

victory for him. But a disappointment, the favourite

:56:18.:56:28.
:56:28.:56:29.

Carlton House who pulled too hard early, was far too eager, too keen.

:56:29.:56:35.

It's a big upset in the Summer Mile. I think most of the crowd here are

:56:35.:56:38.

in shock, not just that Carlton House hasn't won but not even

:56:38.:56:46.

finished in the first three. Ryan Moore tries to drive for home. He

:56:46.:56:50.

was too keen. Then when we got to the front he still was fighting for

:56:50.:56:55.

his head. He's fading in these stages as the quicker horses, those

:56:55.:56:58.

with more acceleration come past. A huge run from the winner,

:56:58.:57:01.

Fanunalter. But also from Pastoral Player, bear in mind that

:57:01.:57:06.

Fanunalter finished second in this race last year to Dick Turpin so is

:57:06.:57:09.

well suited but we didn't consider him because he had been

:57:09.:57:13.

disappointing on three starts at Meydon. He didn't look on paper as

:57:13.:57:22.

if he had any chance. He ran his last race in Dubai and ran poorly

:57:22.:57:27.

that day. Of course, these connections have picked the horse

:57:27.:57:36.

up virtually and paid for himself... �57,000. He has actually paid for

:57:36.:57:44.

himself and Mick Wigham - there he is on the telephone, he has put

:57:44.:57:48.

weight on since his riding days, he had a winner at Newmarket well

:57:48.:57:52.

backed. His horses are very much in form and he's only got a small

:57:52.:57:57.

string but his horses are running well. Congratulations to them and

:57:57.:58:03.

to you if you picked him at 33-1. Olivier with his lucky butterfly on

:58:03.:58:07.

the collar of his colours and he will be on Reliable Man in the King

:58:07.:58:13.

George at 4.35pm. A major triumph for the trainer, Michael Wigham

:58:13.:58:17.

who's done exceptionally well with the material that he's been able to

:58:17.:58:21.

secure. This has been a real coup, securing

:58:21.:58:27.

this horse. He got it from Marco Botti and it's a decision that

:58:27.:58:31.

owners and trainers have to make many, many times, and that's

:58:31.:58:35.

whether to dispose of a horse, whether to put him up for auction,

:58:35.:58:38.

get rid of him to another stable and that's what they decided with

:58:38.:58:43.

Fanunalter, sold for �67,000. Used to race in the same colours as his

:58:43.:58:49.

sire. And now this horse has come out and won the Summer Mile. It's

:58:49.:58:55.

been a smart buy. The time 1.41.36, about three

:58:55.:58:58.

seconds outside the record, the distance is a neck and three

:58:58.:59:05.

quarters of a length. Let's check the full results of

:59:05.:59:15.
:59:15.:59:33.

this Transformers and Rectifiers Fantastic stuff from your horse.

:59:33.:59:36.

For a moment I thought you weren't going to get a run. Yeah, but the

:59:36.:59:42.

trainer before say more is unlucky, much is better, I say, I hope not

:59:42.:59:47.

unluck y but not too long, no really place to go, so then it come

:59:47.:59:52.

late, I take my time, I am blocked, no place to go and last furlong it

:59:52.:59:56.

just keep going. Lovely. Reliable Man, can he do the same for you

:59:56.:00:03.

today? I hope so. Now just see how the track. Ascot is fantastic track.

:00:03.:00:07.

Lovely weather. Now I hope this continue. I am going to let you go

:00:07.:00:10.

and grab a word with the winning trainer. Michael, congratulations,

:00:10.:00:15.

your first Group winner. Former champion apprentice jockey, how

:00:15.:00:22.

good is this for you? Well, I get more pleasure out of it, the riding,

:00:22.:00:29.

there was too much time and didn't eat very much and I am getting a

:00:29.:00:32.

lot of enjoyment, more enjoyment out of the training and being with

:00:33.:00:38.

horses. You spent a lot of money, �67,000 on this horse, what's the

:00:38.:00:45.

key to getting him back to his best today? We just brought him along

:00:45.:00:49.

quietly and we don't gallop him a lot and he's been doing a lot of

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

swimming. He swims well. We thought we could improve for today, but

:00:59.:01:02.

obviously I was wrong. Nothing wrong with being wrong. What sort

:01:03.:01:09.

of plans would you have for him, can he be good enough for Champions

:01:09.:01:13.

Day. I have to think about that, on the way to Ascot he was going to

:01:13.:01:18.

run here and we thought we will run well, probably one or two too good

:01:18.:01:23.

for us and to a Group 3 in Norway. But I think we will be shelfing

:01:23.:01:29.

that now and have to go home and have a word with his owner and have

:01:30.:01:37.

a rethink and work out what we are going to do at a later stage

:01:37.:01:40.

because obviously he still retains a lot of his ability.

:01:40.:01:50.
:01:50.:01:51.

Congratulations on your first Group on the edge of the winners'

:01:51.:01:54.

enclosure with Ryan Moore and Sir Sir Michael Stoute going through

:01:54.:02:00.

what went wrong with Carlton House, and talking about how keen he was

:02:00.:02:04.

early on, and you wonder now - you know... Where do we go from here?

:02:04.:02:10.

Well, quite. Exactly. As we saw - we saw him walking up and down, and

:02:10.:02:13.

it looks as though they have had a little bit of feet problem - his

:02:13.:02:17.

front feet have definitely got - you know, they've done a lot of

:02:17.:02:21.

farrier work on him, so has that got anything to do with it? I don't

:02:21.:02:27.

know. Maybe. Let's take more of a look at the race in detail with

:02:27.:02:32.

Steve and Ian. So the steward's inquiry pinned

:02:32.:02:36.

connections to Carlton House. We can have a look at him here out of

:02:36.:02:40.

stall eight. He pulls too hard. He gives Darryll Holland a terrible

:02:40.:02:45.

time down to post. When the stalls open, he messes around a bit as

:02:45.:02:49.

well, doesn't he? Yes, he's always had issues in the stalls. He's

:02:49.:02:53.

awkward coming out. Luckily, he's a horse that comes from the back. So

:02:53.:02:57.

him breaking really quick isn't a necessity anyway. On the extreme

:02:57.:03:02.

right, because of the his draw run Moore is out there. No horses

:03:02.:03:06.

around him, and this horse has take and fierce hold, hasn't he? He is

:03:06.:03:10.

on the outside. He knows there's not going to be any pace in the

:03:10.:03:15.

race. He has two choices he knows, forward or back. He's let him slip,

:03:15.:03:18.

and unfortunately, the horse hasn't settled at all for him. You can see

:03:18.:03:21.

him chucking his head around. He got a little bit warm when he was

:03:21.:03:25.

down at the start, but the warning signs were there from quite some

:03:25.:03:29.

way out.Hy held on to him as much as he could do. He was almost by

:03:29.:03:32.

the looks of things in front inside the last couple of furlong, but

:03:32.:03:37.

let's have a look at the head-on inside the closing stages. The

:03:37.:03:41.

winner, Fanunalter - remember he was runner up in this 12 months ago

:03:41.:03:46.

- there is Pastoral Player in the blue colours. They're going to swap

:03:46.:03:51.

sides because Olivier Peslier has to make his way out to get a

:03:51.:03:55.

challenge Yes, from the two pole. You can see he's nursing him there,

:03:55.:03:59.

and in a minute he's hard on the steel. You can see there he just

:03:59.:04:04.

comes good. He has a gap and has a switch to his left. Luckily, he's

:04:04.:04:08.

going good, just engineers a bit of a gap for him. Once he's out, he's

:04:08.:04:15.

gone and the horse picked up. the horse picks up on the extreme

:04:15.:04:18.

left. The winner ran disappointingly in Dubai. I wonder

:04:18.:04:23.

if the fact he had to get in and out and weave around horses

:04:23.:04:27.

interested him more than normal. may well have done. The second

:04:27.:04:32.

horse, Pastoral Player is a sixth or seventh horse - Fanunalter

:04:32.:04:36.

probably enjoyed being able to travel, thinking, this is great I

:04:36.:04:42.

am on a good day. So Fanunalter, they have already got �556,000 back

:04:42.:04:48.

on what they bought him for, not bad business so far. Transformers

:04:48.:04:52.

and Rectifyers, the sponsors of the race. The Managing Director made

:04:52.:04:59.

the presentation. Olivier Peslier there alongside Michael Wigham,

:04:59.:05:05.

Mick Wigham, the trainer. The report back from what the trainer

:05:05.:05:10.

said - the lack of pace meant he didn't settle, and they weren't

:05:10.:05:14.

sure yet whether they stay at a mile - find a mile and a one race...

:05:14.:05:18.

They won't be going a mile and one or a mile and a quarter, not after

:05:18.:05:22.

that because he was very rank, and he was pulling. The draw didn't

:05:22.:05:25.

help him because he was on the outside. They didn't go the pace

:05:25.:05:29.

that he would want to drop him in behind the other horses, so he was

:05:29.:05:34.

in daylight, and he's a very generous horse, and he was giving,

:05:34.:05:38.

giving giving, and Ryan Moore couldn't get him back to get him in

:05:38.:05:42.

behind and get him relaxed, so he was just give, give, give, and he

:05:42.:05:46.

just ran out of petrol a furlong from home, so they definitely won't

:05:46.:05:50.

be going to a mile and a quarter. No, and I would think they'd hope

:05:50.:05:53.

not to be drawn on the outside because that didn't help thingers

:05:53.:05:58.

aly on. Missed the kick this time. That's what they'll do -s any start,

:05:58.:06:05.

relax him, then get him to do it the proper way. Exactly. All is not

:06:05.:06:07.

yet lost for Carlton House. getting that way. When you think

:06:07.:06:12.

about the city of Cologne, you might think it's Germany's third

:06:12.:06:15.

largest city, has enormous museums. You have been to some of them.

:06:15.:06:20.

It has a museum entirely dedicated to chocolate. I didn't go to that

:06:20.:06:24.

one. You might have! God. There is me thinking I would miss working

:06:24.:06:30.

with you. Anyway! Yes. It has this - this big cathedral has a big

:06:30.:06:35.

trade fair as well, but none of these were the reasons Mick

:06:35.:06:45.
:06:45.:06:46.

FitzGerald was visiting Cologne. I'm on a bridge over the Rhine

:06:46.:06:50.

River in Cologne city centre, not where you would expect to find the

:06:50.:06:54.

racing heartland but only a stone's throw away from here you'll final

:06:54.:07:02.

the Arc winner Dandedream. He's coming here to hope to make it a

:07:02.:07:11.

big race double. The first thing that strikes me

:07:11.:07:16.

about her is she's not very big. Not as big as you thought. When you

:07:17.:07:21.

see Dandedream, she's so good. I don't believe it. She's so small,

:07:21.:07:24.

and the weight is not too heavy, and she's so good. I don't believe

:07:24.:07:30.

it. Yes. It's a dream. It is a dream. Always when I get a jump on

:07:30.:07:35.

her, I say, how is it this filly can win the Arc? I don't believe it

:07:35.:07:38.

because you think, she have a big heart, but where is she getting the

:07:38.:07:43.

energy? After the race, after one minute, she's not breathing, so

:07:43.:07:47.

they must have big lungs. That's the key for a racehorse. Your

:07:47.:07:53.

biggest day racing - when she won the Arc? It's nice to have a horse

:07:53.:07:58.

in this brai, nobody thinks that Germany can win the Arc, and for

:07:58.:08:03.

that reason, definitely this was my biggest day and also for Germany,

:08:03.:08:09.

for all the racing of the country. But the way she ran in the Arc was

:08:09.:08:14.

unbelievable, and no horse can beat her on this day. When she kicked at

:08:14.:08:18.

this rate, it was impressive. anybody's race, the Arc as they

:08:18.:08:23.

race up the home spread. Now Dan for Germany takes it clearly,

:08:23.:08:27.

sprinting three lengths in front of her opponent, followed by St

:08:27.:08:32.

Nicholas Abbey and So You Think, but Dandedream goes on to win the

:08:33.:08:38.

Arc for Germany. The greatest moment in my history. It's

:08:38.:08:42.

fantastic. I don't believe it. see your celebrations when you came

:08:42.:08:48.

back down the track... All of my emotions getting all over my body,

:08:48.:08:51.

and I think if you win a race like that, you have to celebrate like

:08:51.:08:56.

that. I think when a football player wins the World Championships,

:08:56.:09:02.

they celebrate as well, so yeah, that's why my emotions came out.

:09:02.:09:08.

The first horse, Star Appeal, 1975, to win the race - what did it mean

:09:08.:09:16.

for Germany? Yes, for the German racing, was very good, so a lot of

:09:16.:09:19.

edgers look for German horses now. LAUGHTER

:09:19.:09:23.

I think it was good for German racing. What was the King George?

:09:23.:09:27.

It's almost like the English Arc. Is she good enough to win? I hope

:09:28.:09:31.

so. Maybe if we place in the race, we're happy to. Win is better. We

:09:31.:09:35.

hope we place. Is a After to win the Arc with this filly, I'm just

:09:35.:09:40.

happy we get the possibility and to run, and we cannot lose - just win.

:09:40.:09:44.

If we get in a good race and a place under the first four horses,

:09:44.:09:54.
:09:54.:09:55.

we are happy. bit of attitude as well the way she

:09:55.:09:59.

biffed Mick out of the way - the way I do sometimes. She was

:09:59.:10:02.

impressive on Arc day. If we have a look at that again, there is not

:10:02.:10:06.

only Dandedream to look out for, you have big markers in there as

:10:06.:10:11.

well like So You Think, but also St Nicholas Abbey is in there - Masked

:10:11.:10:18.

Marvel. Masked Marvel, who was very disappointing. Lava Man was pretty

:10:18.:10:24.

disappointing as well. She absolutely streaks clear. Took off,

:10:24.:10:29.

but the ground would be faster there than it will be today. That

:10:29.:10:35.

ground was... It had dried out. had. If I remember right, it was a

:10:35.:10:38.

lovely, you know, summer's - felt like a summer's day, although it

:10:38.:10:44.

was the first Sunday in October, but she did - she spread eagle that

:10:44.:10:48.

field that day. She took off. has been disappointing since.

:10:48.:10:54.

She ran - she was in a four-runner race. They didn't go very fast. It

:10:54.:10:57.

was a Grand Prix. There was only four runners, and they didn't go

:10:58.:11:02.

that fast, and of course, she needs a very strong pace to run at, and

:11:02.:11:08.

she didn't get that it day. There is Daniel Stark talking with

:11:08.:11:13.

Darryll Holland. It was a remarkable run from Pastoral Player

:11:13.:11:18.

in the Summer Mile. They are laughing anyway. Exactly,

:11:18.:11:21.

saying, "Sit tight". Craig Williams is not in the jockeys' training

:11:22.:11:26.

room - not yet, because he's out walking the course. He'll be

:11:26.:11:30.

wearing the colours of Dunaden. He gets along with there horse really

:11:30.:11:35.

well. He's making sure everybody knows who he is. Exactly. He won

:11:35.:11:40.

the Jalon Cup but wasn't onboard for the Melbourne Cup because he

:11:40.:11:45.

was suspended. That's a very brisk walk he's doing. Yes. He was

:11:45.:11:52.

relocated to Australia. He was over here a few seasons riding for Mick

:11:52.:12:00.

Channon. He's ridden 29 times at Ascot. He was here for the Royal

:12:00.:12:06.

meeting. His last win was September 2000. He is walking very fast.

:12:06.:12:10.

Somebody who recalls walks very slowly whatever is going on is John

:12:10.:12:14.

Gosden. He has two runners in the races, Nathaniel and Masked Marvel.

:12:14.:12:18.

He's making his way slowly to the parade ring because coming up next

:12:18.:12:28.

we have a field of 28 for the pet Betfair. Here is the full list with

:12:28.:12:38.
:12:38.:12:38.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 100 seconds

:12:38.:14:18.

Lee, a Grand National-winning jockey now riding on the flat with

:14:18.:14:22.

great success. Earlier he spoke to us. You were asked to ride

:14:22.:14:26.

Hawkeyethenoo. He has a great record here. He won the Victoria

:14:26.:14:30.

Cup and ran the Royal meeting recently. How confident are you

:14:30.:14:35.

about his chance today? He ran well in the Wokingham and in the July

:14:35.:14:39.

Cup. If you get the run of the race, he gets the splits, et cetera, he

:14:39.:14:43.

must have chance. The ground would be to his liking and seven - maybe

:14:43.:14:47.

to his liking, so fingers crossed along with a lot of other stuff

:14:47.:14:53.

crossed. Graham, you have obviously ridden at Ascot a in the past as a

:14:53.:14:57.

jump jockey. What is the main difference when you're riding in a

:14:57.:15:03.

flat in a competitive race with 20- odd horses as opposed to a short

:15:03.:15:08.

field over three miles over fences? It's probably a very Irish thing to

:15:08.:15:10.

say, but there is no obstacles in front of you.

:15:11.:15:13.

LAUGHTER Yeah, it's different. It's quicker,

:15:13.:15:19.

obviousably, do you know, at the end of the day - at the end of the

:15:19.:15:23.

day, the best horse usually wins. Like over jumps? No matter whether

:15:23.:15:28.

they're on the jumps or on the flat, best of luck. Thank you. He's doing

:15:28.:15:34.

great, Graham Lee is, 29 runners since he switched coaches. He'll be

:15:34.:15:39.

on Hawkeyethenoo. That is Lightning Cloud, Amy Ryan riding for her dad

:15:39.:15:43.

Kevin. She has been doing so well, Amy Ryan. I guess one of the

:15:43.:15:49.

biggest wins she had would be when she won the Challenge Cup on

:15:49.:15:55.

Advanced here. This horse very progressive last season. Ran pretty

:15:55.:16:00.

well in the Victoria Cup. In the Wokingham was favourite, didn't run

:16:00.:16:04.

so well, but a definite chance. Yeah, most of these horses that are

:16:04.:16:07.

running in this race - there is a very good prize. They're all

:16:07.:16:11.

meeting - a lot of these horses are meeting again. It's the ones that

:16:11.:16:15.

get the best run and have the best draw - they jump out and go where

:16:15.:16:20.

the race is. Officially, this is the best horse in the race, Eton

:16:20.:16:23.

Forever, but his penalty for that is because it's a handicap he has

:16:23.:16:28.

to carry the most weight. He has nine stone, seven. He was - he won

:16:28.:16:35.

the Spring Mile at Doncaster last year and took the Buckingham Palace

:16:35.:16:40.

last month. That was a good race. Even though he has 9, 7, he's a

:16:40.:16:45.

horse that has lots of ability. You would have to think, if he's not

:16:45.:16:50.

running in these heritage handicaps, he'd be running in Group-listed

:16:50.:16:53.

races. Let's hear from his trainer. It's a

:16:53.:16:58.

big task for him. On the face of things, he has to give way to very

:16:58.:17:03.

smart horses. How were you impressed with what he did in the

:17:03.:17:08.

Buckingham Stakes at Royal Ascot? It all went well for him. Today is

:17:08.:17:11.

a different proposition. He has a lot more weight, and it makes the

:17:11.:17:16.

task tougher, but you know, we look back, and we think, well, if he had

:17:16.:17:20.

six pounds more on his saddle at rile Ascot, would he have won or

:17:20.:17:23.

gone close? And I don't know if he'd have won, but I think he would

:17:23.:17:27.

have gone very close that day. He really streaked clear of his field

:17:27.:17:32.

his side, and I think if he can put that level of performance in again

:17:32.:17:35.

today, it's tougher, but I don't think he'd be far away. You said

:17:35.:17:39.

everything clicked that day at Ascot during the Royal meeting. Are

:17:39.:17:43.

the signs are that everything that clicked that day are ready to click

:17:43.:17:47.

again Dade I hope so. I think we have very similar conditions today,

:17:47.:17:51.

perhaps slightly dead ground, but good ground, good to soft, border

:17:51.:17:55.

line, very similar to a Royal meeting, and obviously the same

:17:55.:18:00.

track, the same distance. The horse seems in very good form, so fingers

:18:00.:18:04.

crossed. I hope lightning strikes twice. Thanks for talking to us.

:18:04.:18:08.

Good luck. Thank you very much. showed you a shot in the last race

:18:08.:18:11.

of Pastoral Player playing up on the way down to the start. Didn't

:18:11.:18:15.

stop him running very well. Let's hope the same is true for Edinburgh

:18:15.:18:18.

Knight because just giving William Buick a few problems and not that

:18:18.:18:23.

keen to go forward, which isn't great for a racehorse. This is

:18:23.:18:27.

where a horse - he - this is hoarse coming out on to the race course,

:18:27.:18:31.

gets on the grass. He gets himself so excited, he doesn't know what to

:18:31.:18:37.

do with himself. You know, they - a lot of horses do this, then look -

:18:37.:18:42.

he jumps up. He'll be fine. It is just his heart rate gets up and

:18:42.:18:45.

pumping away as they're coming out on to the track because they know

:18:45.:18:49.

they're going to be galloping. Look at that! Butter wouldn't melt in

:18:49.:18:53.

his mouth now. It's just, the horse is getting too excited. Let's see

:18:53.:19:03.
:19:03.:19:05.

where Edinburgh Knight features in subsequently, wide betting, the

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

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 100 seconds

:19:15.:20:09.

field. 8-1 is the favourite, One is Al Muheer, took it in 2009,

:20:09.:20:13.

trained by Clive Brittain then. James Sullivan - the two of them

:20:13.:20:17.

looking for their first Ascot winner. He has been quite busy,

:20:18.:20:21.

actually. He ran - I think his last - between his last two races there,

:20:21.:20:26.

he ran within two days of one another. I think that was Haydock,

:20:26.:20:29.

Ripon, and he has been running - you know, he's been running well,

:20:29.:20:33.

but to say that he could win this - well, I wouldn't like to say he'd

:20:33.:20:38.

win it, but he's a horse with ability, and he's got a pair of

:20:38.:20:41.

blinkers there to just help him concentrate, and Ruth Carr is

:20:41.:20:47.

having a fantastic year. She's training lots and lots of winners,

:20:47.:20:53.

but as you said, Claire, she's nine pound lower than he was when

:20:53.:20:56.

trained by Clive Brittain, so if he's back to that you never know.

:20:56.:21:00.

He's seven years old now. Brae Hill is six years old. We have lots of

:21:00.:21:04.

old-timers in this, and they do tend to come back, and they run in

:21:04.:21:11.

it time after time. This was the horse that ran in Lincoln in March,

:21:11.:21:15.

finished fourth in the Victoria Cup his next start, definitely one to

:21:15.:21:19.

consider. His owner is such an enthusiastic owner of racehorses,

:21:19.:21:23.

and he has tonnes of them in training, and this is just the sort

:21:23.:21:26.

of race he likes. He ran in Newmarket, the big meeting here and

:21:26.:21:33.

the Heritage Handicap there - what was it, the Bunbury Cup. He was

:21:34.:21:37.

just beaten, so he's one of those genuine horses that you would love

:21:37.:21:44.

to own because he always gets his post, and he likes a little bit of

:21:44.:21:47.

cut in the ground which possibly he is going to get today. He might

:21:47.:21:52.

like it a little bit softer than it is on this Ascot track because this

:21:52.:21:56.

Ascot track - it dries out so quickly because it's - the race is

:21:56.:22:02.

on a lot of gravel here. Just a look there at Ryan Moore and

:22:02.:22:05.

Frankie Dettori - Ryan riding Bonnie Brae for David Elsworth, who

:22:05.:22:10.

was pretty progressive last season and again this year - second in the

:22:10.:22:12.

Victoria Cup. Would be another one, though, who may have a chance. This

:22:12.:22:21.

race coming up at 3.55. At 3.45pm obviously is the King George, and

:22:21.:22:26.

in that race, Craig A Williams will be riding Dunaden. Let's get the

:22:26.:22:30.

opportunity to have a word with him. Yeah, I grabbed him. We're going to

:22:30.:22:33.

see Dunaden's last run when he got hampered close to home. Many felt

:22:33.:22:38.

he was pretty unlucky, Craig. Yes, certainly. When he was

:22:38.:22:42.

inconvenienced in the straight for him to pick up the end of the race,

:22:42.:22:46.

then take considerable ground off Sea Moon it puts him in great stead

:22:46.:22:49.

for the King George today. Seeing him here, he's about to make his

:22:49.:22:53.

run. Suddenly, the gap starts to close. You can see Christoph, he's

:22:53.:22:56.

almost pre-empted it here. There is nothing you can do as aic. In that

:22:56.:23:00.

situation. Certainly. I think if you take the vision further back to

:23:00.:23:05.

the position he was the whole race, and unfortunately, Aden O'Brien's

:23:05.:23:08.

horse dragged him back to being third last. He was running third,

:23:08.:23:11.

fourth. He lost his position through bad luck, took him back to

:23:11.:23:14.

third or fourth, started to make his run. We have seen the

:23:14.:23:17.

inconvenience in the straight, and he still finished off second.

:23:17.:23:21.

a horse that comes good as well. You have ridden him twice - won him

:23:21.:23:25.

twice two, big races. She a big racehorse? Let's hope so. Today is

:23:25.:23:29.

a great race I think for a quality of racing in England for such a big

:23:29.:23:34.

purse and also for a Group 1 level. You have a great field, and Dunaden

:23:34.:23:38.

should make his presence felt. You're hoping to grab some sleep on

:23:38.:23:42.

the plane home? You have dashed over here from Australia. I have

:23:42.:23:45.

four children, so for me, I was quite lucky on the aeroplane I got

:23:45.:23:48.

peace and quiet. My wife in Australia doesn't. Don't tell her

:23:48.:23:52.

that, anyway. I actually enjoyed the flight over, to be honest.

:23:52.:24:00.

very best of luck. Thank you very see. Let's have a look at the

:24:00.:24:06.

betting as they start to load up this enormous field - Lightning

:24:06.:24:16.
:24:16.:24:28.

More than two-thirds of the field locked away. Al Muheer, who has a

:24:28.:24:32.

good record here, going forward now, now trained by Ruth Carr and

:24:32.:24:37.

carrying the Sprint Keen racing colours. Field Of Dream, Richard

:24:37.:24:45.

Hughes is there. So many here with a chance. Just to go back to Bonnie

:24:45.:24:49.

Brae and what we meant to say was she was the one that won the

:24:49.:24:53.

Bunbury Cup only a week ago. Yes, and she obviously loves the soft

:24:53.:24:59.

ground. Hawkeyethenoo - you'll see Graham Lee. He always had such a

:24:59.:25:02.

beautiful position as a jump jockey and even more effective as a flat

:25:02.:25:07.

jockey to be so slow in the saddle, but not too many more to go for...

:25:07.:25:09.

He's a genuine horse too, Hawkeyethenoo. He's come all the

:25:09.:25:15.

way down from Scotland, Glasgow. He's trained near there. Jim Goldie,

:25:15.:25:24.

who is very successful at coming down here to Ascot. So the last two

:25:24.:25:32.

going forward. Noble Citizen is locked away. Steady, team. Steady.

:25:32.:25:41.

Steady. Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. No, no, no! A bit of shouting on the near

:25:41.:25:47.

side, as you can hear. That's Escape to Glory I think is playing

:25:47.:25:51.

up a little bit. Imperial Djay on the near side - a big field. That's

:25:51.:25:55.

it they're racing and away to the near side. Two on the near side -

:25:55.:25:58.

Bannock and Imperial Djay are away pretty smartly. They're quickly in

:25:58.:26:01.

the stride as they settle down in this Betfair Summer International

:26:01.:26:09.

Stakes. They're splitting into three groups, and Cavalier is

:26:09.:26:18.

showing pace. Noble Citizen in the centre. On the far side, Van Ellis

:26:18.:26:22.

and Highland Colori. It's Noble Citizen, Capaill Liath showing out

:26:22.:26:28.

in advance from Darren Egan -- Deire Na Sli on the near side.

:26:28.:26:32.

Dubai Hills is just behind them. Just up there as well too rat this

:26:32.:26:36.

stage is Brae Hill. Also being ridden along is the colour change

:26:36.:26:40.

Justonefortheroad, and they have split into two groups on the far

:26:40.:26:43.

side. In the near side, Capaill Liath in the centre is just showing

:26:43.:26:47.

the way from Brae Hill. Also there as well as Ducal joining in there,

:26:47.:26:50.

followed by Lightning Cloud. Now Joe Packet with the white face is

:26:50.:26:57.

starting to loom up. They have a furlong-and-a-half left to go now

:26:57.:27:01.

and Joe Packet moves up from Capaill Liath. Highland Colori is

:27:01.:27:06.

solo on the far side. Anybody's race here with a furlong to go.

:27:06.:27:14.

Highland Colori on the far side, maybe a fraction of a lead.

:27:14.:27:18.

Instance and Field Of Dream down the inside. Field Of Dream going

:27:18.:27:22.

home from Edinburgh Knight. Just behind them in third is

:27:22.:27:24.

Bertiewhittle followed by Global Village, then Highland Colori.

:27:24.:27:29.

Further back in the field is Hawkeyethenoo. They're followed by

:27:29.:27:34.

Noble Citizen. One of the last to finish is Van Ellis and company,

:27:34.:27:37.

Justonefortheroad. Let's have a look at them as they cross the line.

:27:37.:27:41.

It's Field Of Dream on the near side flashing home here and has

:27:41.:27:46.

gone up to win it - has gone up to win this Betfair Summer

:27:46.:27:49.

International Double Stakes. It's tight second, far side, is

:27:50.:27:54.

Edinburgh Knight. Near side is Bertiewhittle. Edinburgh Knight

:27:54.:27:56.

just grabbed second from Bertiewhittle and just behind them

:27:56.:28:02.

in third is - in fourth, I should say, Global Village. Then Highland

:28:02.:28:06.

Colori, who has been solo most of the way, had no company. Van Ellis

:28:06.:28:11.

was the only other one on that side. They're followed next then by Noble

:28:11.:28:15.

Citizen crossing the line. Hawkeyethenoo, Bonnie Brae just

:28:15.:28:19.

behind them is Joe Packet, who looks such a big chance as they

:28:19.:28:25.

went to the two. Imperial Djay, and behind them is Bannock, and they're

:28:25.:28:27.

followed by Bronze Prince and Al Muheer, then just behind them is

:28:27.:28:33.

Castles In The Air. Brae Hill was prominent, then Eton Forever, then

:28:34.:28:38.

Capaill Liath, who showed speed, and then three lengths away is

:28:38.:28:43.

Excellent Guest, Frankie Dettori, followed then by Ducal, then Dubai

:28:43.:28:47.

Hills, who is just behind them. Lightning Cloud is further back,

:28:47.:28:55.

then Van Ellis, who was on that far side, Deire Na Sli there, then

:28:55.:29:00.

Esprit De Midas and behind them Escape to Glory, and they are the

:29:00.:29:05.

stragglers. There's not too many to come. I think there is a couple.

:29:05.:29:09.

Here is the colour change. That's Justonefortheroad. And there's one

:29:09.:29:17.

still coming. That's on the far side, Van Der Art. I think that was

:29:17.:29:21.

right at the back right from the start. No doubt about number six,

:29:21.:29:31.

Field Of Dream trained by Jamie Osborne owned by Mr K Grundlack,

:29:31.:29:35.

trained by Richard Hughes, won by half a length. Second, number two,

:29:35.:29:40.

Edinburgh Knight, William Buick, third, number 23, Bertiewhittle

:29:40.:29:46.

ridden by Harry Bentley. Fourth, Global Village ridden by Ryan

:29:46.:29:53.

Clarke. That's the one-two-three- four, and Richard Hughes riding in

:29:53.:30:03.
:30:03.:30:03.

supreme form has brought home the Hughes in full flight as well,

:30:03.:30:07.

winning these big handicaps, he is having a good season despite the

:30:07.:30:10.

fact he had to start it very late because of a suspension he picked

:30:10.:30:15.

up riding in India. That's the first winner he has ridden for

:30:15.:30:24.

trainer Jamie Osbourne since twin. -- 2001. This horse, Field Of Dream,

:30:24.:30:32.

he came home with a late rattle to finish 4th in The Hunt Cup, but

:30:32.:30:37.

this time he has won it. It's this group of four that really

:30:37.:30:40.

closed down and the one that finishes best of all, Edinburgh

:30:40.:30:46.

Knight ran fantastic as well. has worn visors in the past but

:30:46.:30:51.

today they put blinkers on him. Obviously, it has helped him and

:30:51.:30:54.

Jamie Osbourne, who is no stranger to this winners' enclosure here at

:30:54.:31:01.

Ascot, he has had Royal winners and he hasn't had a tkphraet -- a great

:31:01.:31:05.

number of winners this year but he is doing really well in his

:31:05.:31:15.
:31:15.:31:16.

training. He will be very, very pleased at this. Apart from

:31:16.:31:20.

Bertiewhittle, in there in third of the low waegts, three of the four

:31:20.:31:25.

coming from the handicap, in a way the classier horses coming through

:31:25.:31:28.

and Edinburgh Knight, I should think William Buick having had

:31:28.:31:32.

problems going to the start when he was reversing in double quick time

:31:32.:31:40.

has run well. The one that never got into the horse, Van Der Art.

:31:41.:31:47.

But Bertiewhittle has run well from lower weights. Global Village, he

:31:47.:31:51.

finished fourth and the only one that had a low draw. All the others

:31:51.:31:58.

were in 22, 18, and 23. So, Global Village has run a good race indeed.

:31:58.:32:02.

Field Of Dream, it was his day today. Two years since he won his

:32:02.:32:09.

last race, and comes thaoer pick up this valuable handicap.

:32:09.:32:12.

So, Jamie as Bourne, the winning trainer. Richard Hughes in

:32:12.:32:17.

fantastic form at the moment. A double here yesterday and a double

:32:17.:32:21.

today, so far. At Bath on Thursday night I think it was, he had a

:32:21.:32:31.
:32:31.:32:32.

treble. He is riding in superb form. Jamie as Bourne, he had a Royal

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

Ascot winner, Treadwell, I think it was last year. Field Of Dream has

:32:45.:32:53.

won this very competitive 7-furlong race. You would call it a sprint.

:32:53.:32:57.

It's a little bit longer than a traditional sprint, but you

:32:58.:33:01.

certainly need to have plenty of speed to hold a position and be up

:33:01.:33:04.

there and run on again, takes a special type of horse. Let's look

:33:04.:33:14.
:33:14.:33:30.

performance, because this horse doesn't really help you at the

:33:30.:33:34.

start, does he? He was good today, he was in a good frame of mind.

:33:34.:33:39.

Jamie said we have to get on him before the track. There was one

:33:39.:33:44.

horse being frisky in front of him, and then a wheelbarrow hit the

:33:44.:33:48.

gates, it didn't affect him. I would say he was in a good frame of

:33:48.:33:52.

mind. A sharp turn of foot he showed today. They went very fast.

:33:52.:33:56.

The first 100 yards they didn't go anywhere and all of a sudden they

:33:56.:34:01.

were really raising. He passed three horses. Things are going well

:34:01.:34:05.

for you at the moment. Long way it last. We have the winning trainer

:34:05.:34:08.

standing by. Congratulations, finally this horse has done it for

:34:08.:34:12.

you. A great run in The Hunt Cup, were you expecting a big one today?

:34:12.:34:19.

I wouldn't say finally, we had only had the horse a few months. He

:34:19.:34:24.

slipped down in the handicap. He was an unlucky loser in The Hunt

:34:24.:34:27.

Cup. I made an error to send him to Sandown on soft ground. With the

:34:27.:34:32.

ground drying here that was the key to it. He was a listed winner over

:34:32.:34:37.

seven as a younger horse. He has that bit of class, but, needs a bit

:34:37.:34:42.

of luck. He does. It's been time since he won, 2010 his last victory.

:34:42.:34:46.

He went to the Dubai Carnival and sometimes you can lose a horse out

:34:46.:34:51.

there, you can lose form. He was ready to win in Dubai and sadly -

:34:51.:34:54.

he ran a great race the first time and we felt he was ready to win out

:34:54.:34:58.

there and we hit the ballot problem twice. We had to bring him back.

:34:58.:35:03.

Ran him in the Lincoln. We lost him a little bit off the plane. We then

:35:03.:35:08.

gave him his break. Came back with The Hunt Cup in mind and were very

:35:08.:35:11.

unlucky then. So, here it's great when it works out. This is

:35:11.:35:15.

obviously a big part, would you have something else in mind? He was

:35:15.:35:20.

in the big mile handicap at goodwood. We have to rethink

:35:20.:35:25.

probably. I don't mind, he's just won �100,000 race, he cost less

:35:25.:35:29.

than that, so we are delighted. It's great for Ken who observes --

:35:29.:35:32.

owns him. He will be a name that you will remember for a long time.

:35:32.:35:37.

He is going to have horses for a long time. Hopefully a lot with you.

:35:37.:35:41.

Let's hope so. Let's look at the start. A couple of them certainly

:35:41.:35:44.

threw away chances at the start. You will have heard that the winner

:35:45.:35:53.

from 22 is not that fast away. Not as slowly as Van Der Art Van

:35:53.:35:56.

Der Art and also Excellent Guest. He is sitting down a little. On the

:35:56.:36:00.

extreme left, one from the left, Van Der Art takes a long time to

:36:00.:36:06.

come out. He must have given him ten, 15 lengths. Once you have

:36:06.:36:09.

given them a start that far, it's game over. He just followed them up,

:36:09.:36:13.

basically. He must have stayed in there a good four or five seconds

:36:14.:36:19.

before the others go. Your chance was lost there. We will

:36:19.:36:22.

look as well, there you are in the middle, see how far behind. This is

:36:22.:36:26.

the halfway stage. Your chance if you are a supporter of him has

:36:26.:36:29.

already gone. You can ignore that run from him. Let's look at the

:36:29.:36:32.

closing stages. A couple of them stayed on OK. Most notably,

:36:32.:36:38.

Hawkeyethenoo. You see him there, black and pink colours. He has ran

:36:38.:36:45.

wul on this track -- well on this track before. He just had the

:36:45.:36:49.

momentary wait about a furlong and a half before he gets his run and

:36:49.:36:54.

gets daylight and really does power home. He starts to pick up. By that

:36:54.:36:57.

stage a host of them have already gone for home. The race is

:36:57.:37:01.

effectively over. Good performances there, most notably from Global

:37:01.:37:06.

Village. He is the only one that's come from a low stall to get

:37:06.:37:09.

involved. But one that you can really forget about the run about

:37:09.:37:19.
:37:19.:37:21.

was that Van Der Art, he really and congratulations to them. Jamie

:37:21.:37:24.

Osbourne was paying tribute to him and the amount of patience he has

:37:24.:37:32.

had in terms of owning horses Anfield field coming -- horses and

:37:32.:37:36.

Field Of Dream coming good today. Sometimes it's about how they're

:37:36.:37:39.

feeling, how do conditions suit them, all sorts of things that they

:37:39.:37:44.

can't tell you and Jamie as Bourne will get a good cheer as he picks

:37:44.:37:50.

up this prize, sponsored by Betfair, also the sponsors of the King

:37:50.:37:56.

George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

:37:56.:37:58.

The King George is the reason that so many people have come racing

:37:58.:38:04.

today. But also plenty for them to enjoy here. It's such a huge area

:38:04.:38:09.

that Ascot covers and it takes a fair time just to get around it and

:38:09.:38:14.

work out where you are and obviously no dress code here! A lot

:38:14.:38:17.

of Japanese connections here as well. They'll be watching closely

:38:17.:38:27.
:38:27.:38:29.

in the Far East for Deep Brillante. The statue there, looks majestic.

:38:29.:38:34.

The gentleman there works for Aidan O'Brien. Good pick-up there. In the

:38:34.:38:38.

pre-parade ring horses are being saddled and amongst them a

:38:38.:38:42.

passionate owner-breeder, you might know him better from another sport

:38:42.:38:47.

but Mick has caught up with the owner and breeder of Brown Panther.

:38:47.:38:50.

Michael, did you envisage when this horse was born you would be stood

:38:50.:38:55.

in this paddock with a horse saddled with a horse like this?

:38:55.:39:00.

at all, not after the first couple of horses. They were pretty

:39:00.:39:04.

moderate and he's come out of the blue. He is obviously an

:39:04.:39:08.

exceptional horse, a great looking horse, as well. You are in this

:39:08.:39:11.

game to be on the stages like today, so I would be lying if I said I

:39:11.:39:14.

didn't want to be here at some point but probably never thought I

:39:14.:39:17.

would be able to breed my own to come here. This is the sort of

:39:17.:39:21.

thing that gets you excited as an owner, dreaming of one day having a

:39:21.:39:25.

horse that can really - he is competitive in this race. Yeah,

:39:25.:39:28.

that's what we are in the game for, to compete at the top top level.

:39:28.:39:32.

You say excited, I was excited for about the last month and then it

:39:32.:39:37.

turns into nerves for the last couple of hours. Yeah, he is one of

:39:37.:39:42.

the outsiders, but in many ways, even though he's run a few times he

:39:42.:39:47.

is still unexposed. A lot of the times he's won, he's won

:39:48.:39:51.

convincingly and times he has been beaten there's been excuses for him.

:39:51.:39:55.

He's pretty unexposed. We are not sure what to make of today. How do

:39:55.:39:59.

you equate this to footballing days? Similar to standing in the

:39:59.:40:05.

tunnel before you go out to play or worse? Worse. Football, you look

:40:05.:40:10.

around at your team-mates and you have yourself and you feel as if

:40:10.:40:13.

you are going to dictate how the day goes really. You have an

:40:13.:40:20.

influence on the game. What have I got to do? I am a by-stander really,

:40:20.:40:23.

hopefully the trainer has done his job, the jockey is going to do his

:40:23.:40:26.

job and then we are in the lap of the gods to see whether the horse

:40:26.:40:32.

is good enough on the day. That's what makes it so exciting. You

:40:32.:40:37.

don't know what's around the corner. Hope I am interviewing you after he

:40:37.:40:42.

has won. Thanks. He will roar louder than anyone if Brown Panther

:40:43.:40:46.

could be competitive in this race. As Frankie said earlier, you think

:40:46.:40:49.

there are five or six horses that have a genuine chance of winning.

:40:49.:40:59.
:40:59.:41:04.

Let's tell you a bit more about all runner newspaper the St Ledger at

:41:04.:41:11.

Doncaster and winner of the King George V. Dunaden, the Melbourne

:41:11.:41:17.

Cup winner who went to Hong Kong to win The Vase.

:41:17.:41:22.

Masked Marvel, winner of the St Leger last September. Frankie

:41:22.:41:27.

Dettori steps forward to ride this 40-1 chance. Nathaniel, William

:41:27.:41:32.

Buick, bidding to become the third horse to win back-to-back King

:41:32.:41:42.
:41:42.:41:44.

Georges. Reliable Man, winner of the Prix Jockey Club. Robin Hood,

:41:44.:41:51.

we expect this twoupb be taking up pace-maker duties. Sea Moon, winner

:41:51.:41:56.

of the Hardwicke Stakes stakes last time in great style. A horse going

:41:56.:42:02.

places. St Nicholas Abbey, winner of The Coronation Cup and also the

:42:02.:42:07.

Breeders Cup. Joseph O'Brien enjoying a fantastic season.

:42:07.:42:16.

Danedream, the five-length winner last October of the Arc. Deep

:42:16.:42:24.

Brillante, winner ever the Japan Derby.

:42:24.:42:28.

Let's look at the betting. We have joint favourites, Nathaniel and Sea

:42:28.:42:38.
:42:38.:43:05.

down towards the paddock. John Gosden there and William Buick

:43:05.:43:09.

looking very cool, going through the runners again in The Racing

:43:09.:43:12.

Post, probably looking at another race, to be honest. I think he is

:43:12.:43:15.

looking at the King George. Nathaniel bidding to become the

:43:15.:43:20.

third horse to win back-to-back King Georges. You get a a weight

:43:20.:43:24.

allowance as a three-year-old. Now he has to carry nine stone seven,

:43:24.:43:28.

exactly the same as the likes of Dunaden and Sea Moon and all those.

:43:29.:43:32.

The only horse that does get the weight for age allowance is the

:43:32.:43:35.

Japanese runner, Deep Brillante, who carries less weight and

:43:35.:43:40.

Danedream being a filly gets a weight allowance as well, 3lb less

:43:40.:43:45.

than the other colts. There he is, the big powerful, muscular

:43:45.:43:48.

individual that's Nathaniel. He is a lovely horse. He is a lovely

:43:48.:43:57.

horse. I was impressed he was able... His sister is - has a big

:43:57.:44:02.

chance of winning the Irish Oaks tomorrow. It's a good family the

:44:02.:44:07.

Rothchilds have bought into. They bought privately out - they were

:44:07.:44:12.

selling up, most most of them and they bought this mare and she's

:44:12.:44:17.

produced one champion and one in the wings. The team of William

:44:17.:44:22.

Buick and John Gosden so strong during Royal Ascot, five winners

:44:22.:44:25.

for the pair of them. If John Gosden wins this, with either horse

:44:25.:44:30.

actually, he could overtake Aidan O'Brien and go to the front in the

:44:30.:44:33.

trainers' championship. William is not far behind Ryan Moore to be

:44:34.:44:38.

champion jockey. It's their third season together. We thought we

:44:38.:44:48.
:44:48.:44:58.

would examine why and how their I first got offered the job with

:44:58.:45:03.

John, it was obviously, it was a bolt out of the blue. I never had

:45:03.:45:09.

anything to do with John. I think he might have said hello to me once.

:45:09.:45:15.

We get on very well. He is very intelligent. He is wise beyond his

:45:15.:45:22.

years. He's got a great feel for a horse, rather like a Frankie, he

:45:22.:45:25.

will give you a clear definition of what he felt and what the horse is,

:45:25.:45:29.

what trip, everything else. He is a team player. He gets on very well

:45:29.:45:35.

with everybody in the yard. He is in there five mornings a week.

:45:35.:45:40.

I came there two or three years ago, when you walk in you are part of a

:45:40.:45:47.

big team and there's so many people working, I feel like in Formula One

:45:47.:45:53.

terms, I feel like the driver in a huge team. That understanding of

:45:53.:45:57.

the feel that you have for a horse or a machine, it's rather like a

:45:57.:46:01.

Formula One driver setting up a car. To have it perform how they want,

:46:01.:46:08.

with the engineers and everything. Obviously, John is the boss, but

:46:08.:46:13.

the work ethic behind everything is fantastic. There's so many people

:46:13.:46:19.

that deserve credit for every winner we have. Pound for pound,

:46:19.:46:22.

Frankie would be the greatest jockey I have ever put up on a

:46:22.:46:25.

horse and William is going in that direction. But he is very aware of

:46:25.:46:33.

the fact he is not the finished product yet. He is like a mentor.

:46:33.:46:37.

Even when I have made mistakes, it's not a scream and shout thing,

:46:37.:46:40.

it's done calmly and I understand where I have gone wrong. He is

:46:40.:46:44.

probably the best train tore make a mistake for. I can only remember

:46:44.:46:49.

one or two. He comes straight back, I am sorry, I got that wrong. He

:46:49.:46:53.

knows. He is very honest like that. He would never try and cover it up.

:46:53.:46:57.

He is the first to tell you and I admire that in someone. I like

:46:57.:47:01.

honesty. I make plenty of mistakes, you know you have to be honest. We

:47:01.:47:07.

all do. No one's perfect. What's amazing about John is when he

:47:07.:47:12.

watches a race, he can see everything. There's no point trying

:47:12.:47:16.

to say something else to John or hide something where you think you

:47:16.:47:20.

might have gone wrong, because he has seen it already. From a

:47:20.:47:28.

trainer's point of view, it's amazing to listen to and amazing

:47:28.:47:32.

ability to have. He certainly is flourishing through the association.

:47:32.:47:38.

William Buick in third place at the moment. Hughes moves into second,

:47:38.:47:41.

ten behind Ryan Moore. This is going to be building up to some

:47:41.:47:44.

jockeys' championship because nobody's running out in front with

:47:44.:47:51.

100 already. Paul Hanagan on 57. For John Gosden, the trainers'

:47:51.:47:54.

championship is not decided on numbers of winners, it's prize

:47:54.:48:01.

money. These big prizes like today are hugely important. �567,000. If

:48:01.:48:10.

he won that, anded a - he would definitely be in front. Exactly.

:48:10.:48:13.

There is John Gosden, not thinking about the trainers' championship or

:48:13.:48:17.

anything like that, just yet. Just thinking about his two runners,

:48:17.:48:23.

Masked Marvel and Nathaniel. Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal

:48:23.:48:26.

party have come out to the special box that they have looking down on

:48:26.:48:35.

to the paddock. John Warren up there as well. Because this is part

:48:35.:48:40.

of the Kipco champion series, it's a different line-up, when they get

:48:40.:48:46.

to the paddock the jockeys have to stand under banners with their -

:48:46.:48:50.

with horses colours and they're easier to identify. Interesting, he

:48:50.:48:54.

saddled Nathaniel up so early and the horse looks relaxed. They're

:48:54.:49:00.

get willing -- getting in early making sure he is calm. He always

:49:00.:49:05.

puts a lip chain on, that's a sort of thin chain that goes over the

:49:05.:49:14.

top of the gum. It just let's out the endorphins and keeps a horse

:49:14.:49:17.

relaxed. He will a little bit of a look coming underneath the tunnel

:49:17.:49:22.

there. He might have just saw his own name on the board there! If he

:49:22.:49:26.

can read, he could earn a lot more in life than half a million he will

:49:26.:49:31.

get for winning this! People might think that's what he did. Getting

:49:31.:49:35.

slightly warm. It's a warm afternoon now. Summer has arrived.

:49:35.:49:40.

Let's look at the form for these runners with Ian and Steve.

:49:40.:49:44.

I thought we would look at one of Nathaniel's races and for a change

:49:44.:49:48.

look at his very first race, which was a wet Friday evening at

:49:48.:49:53.

Newmarket and a maiden race. If you are a racing expert you will know

:49:53.:49:57.

what happened in this. Here he is, dark blue and yellow. There with

:49:57.:50:03.

the pink behind him is a horse that you all know, because this was

:50:03.:50:06.

Frankel's first run. It's amazing that two such brilliant horses

:50:06.:50:10.

should meet first time out in a little ordinary maiden at Newmarket

:50:10.:50:17.

on a Friday. I know, and I am sure Gosden was going there confident

:50:17.:50:21.

thinking we have a proper horse and to get beaten by that they

:50:21.:50:24.

obviously think what went wrong. In hindsight, he has met a superstar.

:50:24.:50:28.

The other thing about him, although obviously this is their first race,

:50:28.:50:33.

it's the closest ever any horse that is ever got to Frankel at the

:50:33.:50:37.

finish. It is and probably the closest any horse will ever get to

:50:37.:50:39.

Frankel the way he is winning at the moment. In hindsight you think

:50:40.:50:43.

wow, what a maiden that was. course, we know that Frankel has

:50:43.:50:48.

gone on to be probably the horse maybe even of the century,

:50:48.:50:52.

certainly the decade. This is going to be a fast race. There will be no

:50:52.:50:56.

stamina. In theory, it should be an easy tactical race for William

:50:56.:51:00.

Buick. I hope so. There's nothing worse a race like this where is

:51:00.:51:03.

questions to be answered. We want to see a champion now. Let's hope

:51:03.:51:07.

it's fast run and not messy and everything is clean-cut. Nathaniel

:51:07.:51:11.

should have a great chance and should be run to suit. That was how

:51:11.:51:16.

he made his debut when unluckily, he met a horse called Frankel.

:51:17.:51:22.

I mentioned that the jockeys come out here to line up underneath big

:51:22.:51:27.

banners, formula-one style. That's happened a moment or two ago. Let's

:51:27.:51:35.

look at the line-up. Kieron Fallon was underneath that of Brown

:51:35.:51:37.

Panther. No we are going to stay with live pictures. They follow the

:51:37.:51:41.

jockeys through to their various camps which makes my job easier

:51:41.:51:44.

because it means I can look up at the banner and tell that you here

:51:44.:51:49.

is the German team, bidding to be the first German horse to win the

:51:49.:51:58.

King George. If we go here we will find the

:51:58.:52:01.

Coolmore camp, Robin Hood, we expect to be the pace-maker and St

:52:01.:52:07.

Nicholas Abbey who has such good form. Derrick Smith not here today,

:52:07.:52:11.

but that's his son, Paul, there deep in conversation with Joseph.

:52:11.:52:15.

You see how tall Joseph is. Does well to keep his weight down and

:52:15.:52:19.

keep cool in these big races. Here the bright colours of Craig

:52:19.:52:22.

Williams. We saw him walking the course earlier and heard from him.

:52:22.:52:26.

Dunaden, the horse in question, the winner of the Melbourne Cup and

:52:26.:52:36.
:52:36.:52:39.

Hong Kong Vase. Kieron Fallon here with the Brown

:52:40.:52:44.

Panther team. We already talked to Michael Owen and wish them luck.

:52:44.:52:47.

Fingers crossed. Big day for them. I hope the ground hasn't dried out

:52:47.:52:49.

too much for their chances because obviously he would prefer soft

:52:49.:52:54.

ground and it seems to be drying out. John Gosden now, having a chat

:52:54.:52:59.

there with Frankie who rides Masked Marvel. Leaving William Buick to

:52:59.:53:09.
:53:09.:53:18.

Eclipse last time. But only two weeks ago. Ryan Moore is here. Sea

:53:18.:53:21.

Moon is an interesting contender. Michael Stoute could become the

:53:21.:53:24.

most successful trainer in the history of the King George. He has

:53:24.:53:28.

won it five times. At the moment that puts him level with Vincent

:53:28.:53:33.

O'Brien. If he he wins for a 6th time he will be on his own. A few

:53:33.:53:37.

years back he had the first three home in this race. It's a race that

:53:37.:53:42.

seems to suit him and his horses. The Japanese team, huge interest in

:53:42.:53:45.

this race because there is a Japanese runner and they are

:53:45.:53:50.

bidding to become the first horse outside of Europe to win the King

:53:50.:54:00.
:54:00.:54:08.

Frankie Dettori saying how worried he is about the journey over here

:54:08.:54:12.

and obviously it's a long way to come. But we will have a closer

:54:12.:54:17.

look at these horses now with Rishi. We are getting a good look at these

:54:17.:54:21.

horses around the paddock. One or two showing negative signs. Let's

:54:21.:54:26.

first of all talk about a horse who looks well, Sea Moon. Sir Michael

:54:26.:54:29.

Stoute's runner, he looks in great shape and looks like he is getting

:54:29.:54:33.

better with every start. He just has to keep on improving. He needs

:54:33.:54:37.

to improve that little bit more to win the race today. But there is no

:54:37.:54:43.

reason why he can't do that. Aidan O'Brien has his team to our left.

:54:43.:54:50.

Joseph and Connor, just about to get on board St Nicholas Abbey.

:54:50.:54:53.

Here comes St Nicholas Abbey who was so impressive in The Coronation

:54:54.:54:57.

Cup this year. They're worried about the ground from the mile and

:54:57.:55:02.

a half down to turning into the strait. Just might be a little bit

:55:02.:55:05.

too soft for him. But the ground is drying out all the time and the

:55:05.:55:10.

horse himself, he looks just as good as he always does. Behind is

:55:10.:55:18.

Danedream. A nice mare. She's got a good athletic walk about her. Not a

:55:18.:55:25.

great big horse. There is the Japanese Derby winner. He is a tall

:55:25.:55:32.

horse. He is a big horse. That jockey, he is going to have to keep

:55:32.:55:37.

hold of his head around here. Nathaniel, only two weeks since he

:55:37.:55:40.

last ran in The Eclipse. He is definitely warm today. He is

:55:40.:55:44.

sweating under the saddle and between the legs. I know you like

:55:44.:55:49.

to see these sort of things. don't like to see it! You are going

:55:49.:55:55.

to have to say that maybe people who say that two weeks is a bit

:55:55.:55:58.

quick, maybe it is. That's what it looks like at the moment. Because

:55:58.:56:04.

he is sweating is the suggestion... It is a warm day. But he is

:56:04.:56:09.

sweating a lot more than any of the others. He is a little bit out of

:56:09.:56:15.

kilt with all the other runsers. -- runners. Because Because it was

:56:15.:56:18.

only two weeks ago he won The Eclipse, looks as though it might

:56:18.:56:28.
:56:28.:57:05.

King George. Sir Peter O'Sullivan missing the race, he is a bit under

:57:05.:57:09.

the weather. Peter, best wishes to you. This is the first King George

:57:09.:57:13.

he has ever missed. First run in 1951. Now they come on to the

:57:13.:57:20.

course. There's Brown Panther, 25-1 chance. Michael Owen and Bert Black,

:57:20.:57:24.

carrying Bert Black's colours and very much on his toes, as you can

:57:24.:57:28.

see. He comes out in front of this enormous crowd here. He was a very

:57:28.:57:35.

good second in the St Leger. The Melbourne Cup winner next. Craig

:57:35.:57:44.

rode this horse to win the Hong Kong Vase.

:57:44.:57:48.

Here is Masked Marvel, as Frankie Dettori says 25-1, far too big in

:57:49.:57:55.

his opinion for a St Leger winner. Then, last year's winner, Nathaniel,

:57:55.:58:01.

he is now a four-year-old. He won The Eclipse two weeks ago. He is 5-

:58:01.:58:05.

2 outright favourite here. Good vibes about him. William Buick in

:58:05.:58:10.

the saddle. Then, I think this is one of the best outsiders,

:58:10.:58:17.

certainly the value of the race, Reliable Man.

:58:17.:58:24.

Let's drop back now, the pace-maker. This is the pace-maker for St

:58:25.:58:34.
:58:35.:58:36.

Nicholas Abbey, Robin Hood. Then we drop back to Sea Moon, he is a

:58:36.:58:44.

horse very much on the improve, Ryan Moore in the saddle. A good

:58:45.:58:48.

winner of the Hardwicke Stakes stakes last time by three and a

:58:48.:58:52.

quarter lengths from Dunaden who looked a little bit unlucky. Now

:58:52.:58:59.

the next wave of them coming out. St Nicholas Abbey, who's on his day

:58:59.:59:03.

an exceptionally good horse and reportedly turned in the best piece

:59:03.:59:08.

of work he's ever turned in at Ballydoyle last week, that's the

:59:08.:59:15.

rumour. He is the winner of The Coronation Cup, a Breeders Cup Turf.

:59:15.:59:23.

Danedream, a five-length winner of the Arc. Struggling to find form

:59:23.:59:30.

this year. She will not be worried by the ground. Here from Japan, a

:59:30.:59:39.

three-year-old, it's Deep Brillante. Ridden by a Mel Melbourne-Cup

:59:39.:59:46.

winning jockey and trained by Yoshito Yahagi. A winner of the

:59:46.:59:50.

Japanese Derby by a nose. They've a lot of faith in him sending this

:59:50.:59:55.

three-year-old to Ascot for one of the vintage runnings, the 62nd

:59:55.:00:00.

running of the King George. There were a bunch of Japanese fans

:00:00.:00:04.

around the paddock waving flags at Deep Brillante. He is the son of

:00:04.:00:08.

Deep Impact who had a huge following when he came to Paris and

:00:08.:00:12.

ran in the Arc and finished second. We have had good Japanese horses

:00:13.:00:18.

running in Europe over the years. But this would be a huge, huge

:00:18.:00:21.

result if Deep Brillante could win the King George and there will be

:00:21.:00:26.

an awful lot of interest in Japan because of this horse. I will say

:00:26.:00:30.

about those in the paddock, Sea Moon looks magnificent. He does.

:00:30.:00:40.
:00:40.:00:54.

Which one of these ten will add his him canter. What a horse this is.

:00:54.:01:03.

The stack winner of the King George. Makes it 15 out of 15. Well done.

:01:03.:01:13.
:01:13.:01:16.

In his stride, he's going to win it in noble style. Dante Grey. Look at

:01:16.:01:26.
:01:26.:01:29.

Mont Jeu. This is the salute to a mile-and-a-half start. It's

:01:29.:01:33.

interesting how this is shaping up betting-wise. Joint favourites

:01:33.:01:36.

Nathaniel and sea sea, I would think now, with Nathaniel sweating

:01:36.:01:41.

as much as he is, Sea Moon may well get propelled to favoritism. St

:01:41.:01:46.

Nicholas Abbey available at 9-2. Mick trying to uphold the time for

:01:46.:01:50.

him. Exactly. It's just such a fascinating race. I was impressed

:01:50.:01:55.

with this horse, Sea Moon. I thought Richard Hughes's comment in

:01:55.:01:59.

the Racing Press was impressive talking about his stride. He has

:01:59.:02:04.

such a long stride. His feet touch the ground less. He thinks he

:02:04.:02:10.

covers two feet more with his strides at least. That means he has

:02:10.:02:14.

less oxygen, more energy to gallop with. If he's correct, he is a

:02:14.:02:18.

horse improving all the time. He ran second in the Brooders Cup last

:02:18.:02:22.

year. He just has to improve that little bit more. This horse we're

:02:22.:02:26.

looking at now - he looks fine there, but in the paddock, you

:02:26.:02:34.

could see all the sweat. Is it two weeks - it is a thing to worry

:02:34.:02:38.

about. Have another look at Deep Brillante, and he's remaining very

:02:38.:02:42.

calm, and doesn't look any worse for the wear but for the journey

:02:42.:02:48.

over here. They brought him over in plenty of time. He's by Deep Impact.

:02:48.:02:52.

Let's have a look at him in the Japanese Derby. It's difficult to

:02:52.:02:55.

know how this form will equate to form in the UK. Look at the ground

:02:55.:03:00.

for one thing - that looks fast ground there. There he is. He has

:03:00.:03:04.

been in front from two out. He keeps on galloping right the way to

:03:04.:03:07.

the line. The jockey is doing his bumping again like he did in the

:03:07.:03:15.

race when he had a ride earlier on Clive Brittain's horse, but he is

:03:15.:03:23.

the foundling of Nashwan, this horse. He has a very English

:03:23.:03:26.

pedigree. Let's have a look at the forgotten horse, the horse that was

:03:26.:03:30.

the favourite when the horses came out, St Nicholas Abbey. He was in

:03:30.:03:36.

the Coronation Cup, beat Sea Moon in one race. He looked good at

:03:36.:03:40.

Epsom last time in the Coronation Cup. He did. He's a horse if

:03:40.:03:48.

everything goes right for him, he'll run a very, very big race.

:03:48.:03:52.

Are you at all concerned about the fact he hasn't won going right-

:03:52.:03:57.

handed since his two-year-old days? Not at all. He went around, what is

:03:57.:04:04.

it, the Curra. He got, I must say, the criticism here. He didn't get

:04:04.:04:08.

the best of rides there when he was second at the Curragh. It was a

:04:08.:04:12.

prep race for him. Joseph was being very cool on him. He was expecting

:04:12.:04:17.

him to sprint home a bit quicker than he did. He came home a little

:04:17.:04:20.

bit one-paced, but you can see even this horse - you know, he's a horse

:04:20.:04:25.

that's been about running in Group 1s, been to America and travelled a

:04:25.:04:35.
:04:35.:04:37.

lot. He is getting very warm between his legs as well. Is he --

:04:37.:04:46.

he does fold hisself away, Joseph. He is getting on for six foot. He

:04:46.:04:51.

has become a top-class jockey. they went fast, Dunaden comes into

:04:51.:04:56.

it very fast. We know he has class, Group 1 class. Won the Melbourne

:04:56.:05:00.

Cup. The owner thinks this jockey has something going with the horse.

:05:00.:05:07.

Sea Moon is going to be the last to go forward for the 2012 running of

:05:07.:05:11.

the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Locked away,

:05:11.:05:16.

William Buick, is destining beckoning on Nathaniel? They're

:05:16.:05:20.

racing, and Dunaden one of the first away, also Dunaden. Out wide

:05:20.:05:24.

is Brown Panther trying to cross over. The Japanese runner, Deep

:05:24.:05:28.

Brillante, is up there searching for a handy passing. Robin Hood is

:05:28.:05:33.

tapped for early toe on the inside, and Dunaden has pulled his way up

:05:33.:05:37.

to take narrow lead. So Dunaden on the outside doesn't really want to

:05:37.:05:41.

be this enthusiastic early, and now Robin Hood has poked through to

:05:41.:05:45.

just take a narrow lead. The pace is pretty good. Two lengths away,

:05:45.:05:48.

then, as Brown Panther third from Nathaniel. Danedream the inside.

:05:48.:05:53.

Then Deep Brillante trying to get in to get a possy, followed in the

:05:53.:06:00.

centre next in by Nathaniel being tracked by Reliable Man, Sea Moon,

:06:00.:06:06.

second, last Joseph O'Brien has his horse at the back. Robin Hood leads

:06:06.:06:10.

by three or four lengths as they race towards Swinley Bottom.

:06:10.:06:14.

Dunaden on inside the of Brown Panther - two or three away,

:06:14.:06:18.

Nathaniel. A length then to Danedream, followed then by did

:06:18.:06:21.

Japanese runner pulling hard, Deep Brillante, the inside. Further back,

:06:21.:06:24.

Reliable Man with Masked Marvel, followed by Sea Moon and out the

:06:24.:06:29.

back is St Nicholas Abbey. All the time climbing up towards home, six

:06:29.:06:33.

furlongs to travel, and it's Robin Hood by three lengths to Dunaden.

:06:33.:06:36.

Two away, the outside, Brown Panther. A length further back is

:06:36.:06:40.

Danedream travelling on the inside now of Nathaniel. Two lengths

:06:40.:06:45.

further back is Masked Marvel on the inside of Reliable Man, and now

:06:45.:06:48.

out deeper is Deep Brillante. Further back in the field is Sea

:06:48.:06:51.

Moon about second, last. And St Nicholas Abbey is last. Racing up

:06:51.:06:55.

to the half mile in the King George, and it's Robin Hood on the inside

:06:55.:07:00.

from Dunaden. Looming up now, Brown Panther. Danedream sitting in

:07:00.:07:04.

behind. Nathaniel going well, followed by Deep Brillante. The

:07:04.:07:06.

pacemaker dropped away. Masked Marvel is further back, followed

:07:06.:07:10.

then by Reliable Man as they swing the quarter now in the King George.

:07:10.:07:14.

Two-and-a-half furlongs to go. Dunaden, the Melbourne Cup winner,

:07:14.:07:18.

on the far side, and Brown Panther coming at him now. Nathaniel

:07:18.:07:21.

joining in as well. Danedream getting into the clear, followed by

:07:21.:07:24.

Reliable Man battling on. They have a furlong-and-a-half to go in the

:07:24.:07:28.

King George, and Nathaniel moves up on the outside to grab a narrow

:07:28.:07:32.

lead. Danedream on the outside is finishing fast with Reliable Man. A

:07:32.:07:38.

half furlong left to go. Nathaniel is trying to cling to the lead!

:07:38.:07:41.

Danedream finishing fast. It's Danedream now racing with Nathaniel.

:07:41.:07:45.

Nathaniel kicking the inside! They hit the line locked together - a

:07:45.:07:48.

bobbing finish between Nathaniel and Danedream in the King George.

:07:48.:07:54.

St Nicholas Abbey flew home down the outside from Reliable Man. They

:07:54.:07:58.

were followed then by Dunaden and Sea Moon. Brown Panther behind them

:07:58.:08:05.

from Deep Brillante, Masked Marvel and Robin Hood is last. Here's the

:08:05.:08:10.

bob. Let's see it. Dandedream, the near side. They hit the line locked

:08:10.:08:18.

together. Danedream possibly. Danedream, near side, on the

:08:18.:08:22.

evidence of that has won it by a nostril from Nathaniel. Here comes

:08:22.:08:32.
:08:32.:08:34.

the result. First is number nine, Danedream, ridden by Starke, has

:08:34.:08:39.

gone up to win it narrowly from number four, only a nose in it.

:08:39.:08:43.

Third, number eight, St Nicholas Abbey, fourth, number five,

:08:43.:08:47.

Reliable Man ridden by Olivier Peslier. But the Arc winner - she's

:08:47.:08:52.

bounced back for Germany, a first win in the race for Germany as

:08:52.:08:58.

Danedream, this five-lengths winner of the Arkle last November has

:08:58.:09:02.

returned to form with vengeance. She's gone up to pull it out of the

:09:02.:09:08.

fire by a nostril. Far side, Nathaniel, a game second, went so

:09:08.:09:12.

close to winning back to have to- back King Georges. St Nicholas

:09:13.:09:20.

Abbey has flown down the outside for third. Here's the photo, and

:09:21.:09:26.

here's Starke. Here he is victorious once again on this

:09:26.:09:35.

remarkable German mare, a 9-1 winner of the King George. What a

:09:35.:09:41.

happy moment for German racing and Starke absolutely elated with the

:09:41.:09:51.
:09:51.:09:51.

run of Danedream, whose performance. This filly by Lomitas, trained by

:09:51.:10:00.

Peter Schiergen, himself a multiple champion jockey, and Starke is the

:10:01.:10:04.

winning jockey. A nose was the winning distance - one-and-a-half

:10:04.:10:13.

lengths between second and third, and the time, 231.62. CHEERING AND

:10:13.:10:19.

APPLAUSE Just fantastic to hear and see the elation of Andreas Starke -

:10:19.:10:23.

what a fantastically well-timed performance on this filly. She only

:10:23.:10:28.

got her head in front on the line. Nathaniel had the race until that

:10:28.:10:33.

very last half stride, not even a full stride, and look at him here,

:10:33.:10:37.

just joyous, the first German- trained winner to win this race and

:10:37.:10:41.

only the third horse this century to win the Arc, following in the

:10:42.:10:46.

steps of Dylan Thomas and Hurricane Run as well, and Danedream returned

:10:46.:10:51.

a 9-1 chance, the only filly in the race, and my word. That was a great

:10:51.:10:54.

finish, wasn't it? That was a fantastic finish. You would have to

:10:54.:11:00.

say that Nathaniel, having run two weeks ago, just might have taken

:11:00.:11:07.

the edge off him, but let's not take it away from this Danedream.

:11:07.:11:13.

She won the arc detriumph on fastish ground. The ground has been

:11:13.:11:17.

drying out for her today. Now you can see her coming to the outside

:11:17.:11:21.

behind Nathaniel setting his filly alight. She said, clay, she did not

:11:21.:11:26.

get her head in front until a very, very last stride, and it was a

:11:26.:11:35.

great finish, and Reliable Man ran fourth. That's one of his best ever

:11:35.:11:39.

races, and Joseph O'Brien on St Nicholas Abbey - he came from last,

:11:39.:11:43.

and he's only beaten two-and-a-half length, so he's run a very good

:11:43.:11:52.

race as well. May it please your majesty, ladies and gentlemen, what

:11:52.:11:56.

a finish to this year's running of the King George VI and Queen

:11:56.:12:01.

Elizabeth Stakes, and we have for the first time in its history a

:12:01.:12:06.

German winner, the filly Danedream, the first filly since 1983 to win

:12:06.:12:10.

this. She does so by a nose from last year's winner Nathaniel.

:12:10.:12:17.

Congratulations to Peter Schiergen, Andreas Starke and everyone

:12:17.:12:21.

involved with this super filly, Danedream.

:12:21.:12:25.

APPLAUSE Back into this winners' enclosure,

:12:25.:12:35.
:12:35.:12:38.

Starke - there's time, 231.62. German runners have not had the -

:12:38.:12:44.

well, they've not been well represented at all over the years.

:12:44.:12:48.

Let's have a look at them cross the line. Now, Danedream has won it by

:12:48.:12:51.

a nostril, officially a nose, from Nathaniel. Third was St Nicholas

:12:51.:12:56.

Abbey, who has come from last, run a good race. Reliable Man has stuck

:12:56.:13:01.

on well for his fourth under Olivier Peslier. Sea Moon has

:13:01.:13:04.

finished fifth, never got nearer than fifth. Then Dunaden, an

:13:04.:13:09.

interesting run. He was pulling early. You could see Craig A

:13:09.:13:15.

Williams had trouble just getting him to drop the bid early. That's

:13:15.:13:21.

Brown Panther, handy enough, and Michael woeen, Burt Black-owned

:13:21.:13:27.

horse, but Rishi now with the winning rider. Many congratulations

:13:27.:13:31.

to Andreas Starke. Did you know when you hit the line you'd won the

:13:32.:13:35.

King George? It was close, but I thought it's only a nose. I hope

:13:35.:13:40.

it's for me, and it was for me, so it was very tight, but I had a good

:13:40.:13:43.

feeling. What a tremendous performance she's put in today.

:13:43.:13:48.

She's so tough. Unbelievable, and what I say is just after the race,

:13:48.:13:54.

never forget the performance from the best horse, and she won the Arc.

:13:54.:13:58.

And today, we just get excited to come to a race like that, and I

:13:58.:14:01.

don't know what's happened last time, but today, everything is in

:14:01.:14:06.

good shape, and yeah, I couldn't find the right words - what she do

:14:06.:14:11.

today, and she fight, and I have to cross about the second horse, and

:14:11.:14:15.

yeah, definitely the biggest moment in my life. You've got a big moment

:14:15.:14:19.

coming up next week as well because you've got a baby on the way.

:14:19.:14:26.

is coming soon, yes, and definitely today is the first step. Many

:14:26.:14:27.

congratulations. Well done, Andreas Starke.

:14:27.:14:33.

APPLAUSE So there she is, a fine filly, this

:14:33.:14:42.

filly by Lomitas. And she won the Italian Oaks earlier in his career.

:14:42.:14:52.
:14:52.:15:08.

Let's have a look now at the full jockey wasn't sure when you'd

:15:09.:15:12.

crossed the line whether you'd won or not. What were your thoughts?

:15:12.:15:16.

Yeah, I think it was second, and now it's better with first.

:15:16.:15:20.

proud and pleased are you to get her back to her best form, the form

:15:20.:15:26.

that saw her win the Arc? I think the form is better than last year -

:15:26.:15:30.

was the same, and the last race, he was not a good traveller, not a

:15:30.:15:35.

good pace, and today was a good traveller, a good pace. What does

:15:35.:15:39.

it mean to you to be responsible for a German success in the King

:15:39.:15:43.

George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes? Well, it's a good feeling.

:15:43.:15:48.

It's very important for Germany and for German racing sport. She'll go

:15:48.:15:55.

back to the Arc? I think if she's in good form for the Bonnbury,

:15:55.:16:00.

she'll go to the Arc. Lots to come. Congratulations. Thank you. I am

:16:00.:16:04.

here with John Gosden. Mixed emotions. No, he's won a great race,

:16:04.:16:08.

a wonderful race, thrilled with him. I couldn't tell when they crossed

:16:08.:16:11.

the line. I was on the line. I couldn't tell,so I said, I'll wait

:16:11.:16:15.

for the announcement. Look. She's come back to her best, and for

:16:15.:16:19.

anybody who was lucky enough to see her win the Arc last year breaking

:16:19.:16:24.

the track record and destroying all the colts, she's marvellous, and

:16:24.:16:29.

she didn't handle the ground so well the other day. She seemed

:16:29.:16:33.

unhappy on loose ground and all the rain. She's come here today and run

:16:33.:16:36.

a blinder. Full marks to her. Our horse has won brilliantly. Look at

:16:36.:16:40.

the horses behind him. I am just beyond thrilled with him. I can't

:16:40.:16:45.

believe, actually, in just two weeks he can come back and put two

:16:45.:16:49.

races like that back to back, impressive. Full marks to him. I'll

:16:49.:16:53.

put him away. I think I'll suggest that Danedream considers reading

:16:53.:17:02.

shares, and that'll be -- breeding shares. Well done. Thanks. Very

:17:02.:17:07.

phlegmatic in defeat and John Gosden - my word, what a run, and

:17:07.:17:12.

the filly, on the day, she had her head in front when it came, and she

:17:12.:17:18.

really is tough and gutsy and talented. As they pulled up, the

:17:18.:17:23.

two jockeys said to each other, "What do you think?" Both basically

:17:23.:17:26.

said, "I don't know. Nobody knew it until the judge gave the verdict.

:17:26.:17:31.

It was a fantastic race, and I don't think Nathaniel has lost

:17:31.:17:39.

anybody at all in his defeat there. It's only a nose, and as I said

:17:39.:17:43.

earlier, it just might have taken the edge off him from running two

:17:43.:17:46.

weeks ago, but still, this is an exceptional filly that's beat him.

:17:46.:17:52.

She won the Arc by five lengths last year, and, of course, she is a

:17:52.:17:58.

- look at her there. Isn't she a sweetie? Yes. The only girl in the

:17:58.:18:03.

race, Claire, the only little lady, and she's a sweet little lady, and

:18:03.:18:09.

I wonder if Nathaniel might ever be able to cover her, you know? It

:18:09.:18:14.

would be nice, wouldn't it, for old time's sake. As they got to know

:18:15.:18:19.

each other so well. You old romantic, you. It's Nathaniel's

:18:19.:18:26.

stud he's going to, you see? Jacob's stud at Royceon. That would

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

be very nice indeed. -- Royston. And he gets a cuddle from Frankie

:18:36.:18:40.

Dettori who knows him well. A little bit of history with

:18:40.:18:43.

Danedream's win. Let's look at how some of the others fared and how

:18:44.:18:47.

the race panned out. It looked a great race on paper beforehand, and

:18:47.:18:51.

it's certainly lived up to that as well. We'll have a look at the

:18:51.:18:54.

start of the race. Steve, the problem - the strange thing here is

:18:54.:18:58.

Dunaden comes from here - ends up being in front because on the stall

:18:58.:19:05.

on the left, the pacemaker misses it and doesn't go very far. No. He

:19:05.:19:09.

thought, I'll just drop in and follow the pacemaker. Unfortunately,

:19:09.:19:13.

the pacemaker was slow away and slowing to his stride. By the time

:19:13.:19:19.

he's got him going, Jamie has the pacemaker going and running keen

:19:19.:19:22.

along with Brown Panther on his inside.

:19:22.:19:26.

Different to what Dunaden has been riding in recent races with a late

:19:27.:19:31.

chance even over this short of a distance, the one he has won before.

:19:31.:19:34.

Brown Panther was on the extreme outside there, who was pulling very

:19:34.:19:38.

hard. That was the early stages of the King George with the pacemaker

:19:38.:19:42.

- not managing to get out in front. Still, we know now Danedream put up

:19:42.:19:46.

a fantastic performance and one - a King George to add to the Arc, and

:19:46.:19:50.

the connections are about to get the trophies. They are. Her Majesty,

:19:50.:19:55.

the Queen, has made her way down from the Royal Box. She'll be

:19:55.:20:02.

making this presentation alongside the representatives of Betfair.

:20:02.:20:06.

Gerald Corbett is there and his wife Virginia. The journey from

:20:07.:20:11.

Germany has been hugely worthwhile - �567,000 to the winner of this

:20:11.:20:20.

and the pair getting the lion's share of that - certainly getting -

:20:20.:20:25.

Helmut and Hyko Vault, father and son, stepping forward to receive

:20:25.:20:31.

the trophy, and at some point, the cheque will arrive, and Terry

:20:31.:20:36.

Yashida is co-owner of this horse, so there is Japanese interest.

:20:36.:20:41.

He is in this horse, in this filly. Yes, he bought into this filly, a

:20:41.:20:45.

half share, two weeks I believe before the Arc last year because,

:20:45.:20:51.

obviously, it was put up to him, and Yashida possibly will take this

:20:51.:20:56.

mare obviously back to Japan to breed, but, as I said earlier, he

:20:56.:21:01.

might put Nathaniel inside her and take her back then. But it was a

:21:01.:21:08.

very shrewd buy that day. You can see how animated they are and how

:21:08.:21:11.

excited they are to have taken on the challenge of running this race

:21:12.:21:15.

and the challenge coming off. That's what top-class sport is all

:21:15.:21:19.

about and what racing is all about. You can't predict beforehand what

:21:19.:21:23.

would happen. This filly ran so disappointingly last time, so a

:21:24.:21:27.

great training performance as well by the trainer to get her energised

:21:27.:21:31.

again and get her back in the sort of form she needed to be to beat

:21:31.:21:36.

off some serious Group 1 contenders, the likes of Nathaniel, St Nicholas

:21:36.:21:41.

Abbey and Dunaden and the others. No match for her today. Nathaniel -

:21:41.:21:47.

only no match by a whisker, but - and Andreas Starke as well. I just

:21:47.:21:50.

loved seeing him in the immediate aftermath of the race, very similar

:21:50.:21:56.

to win he won the arc. He's not afraid to show his emotions. Those

:21:56.:22:01.

will be the images that'll stay with us today, just raw joy. Well,

:22:01.:22:05.

it's a very, very big thing for a German jockey to be coming to

:22:05.:22:10.

England and winning - well, a prestige race like the King George,

:22:10.:22:14.

because normally, he has to have all the top jockeys every Sunday

:22:14.:22:18.

coming over to Germany and nicking some of the best rides in Germany

:22:18.:22:24.

on a Sunday, so it will be a big thing, him coming over here and

:22:24.:22:29.

taking our prize money, but I may say, he is a very, very, very good

:22:29.:22:34.

jockey. He's a world-class type. He has been going around the world

:22:34.:22:44.
:22:44.:22:46.

learning his trade, and he's been moment of glory when the photo

:22:46.:22:51.

finish was announced and he knew that indeed number nine, Danedream

:22:51.:22:56.

had come home in front. I think he spied our camera there, Claire.

:22:56.:22:59.

think he was looking at the crowd, to be honest. Well done. It's

:22:59.:23:09.
:23:09.:23:12.

Dettori could top that, I think. Don't you? Well, yes... For the...

:23:12.:23:16.

It's a wonder he didn't come into the winners' enclosure and give us

:23:17.:23:22.

a flying dismount. Obviously, if the winners' enclosure was within

:23:22.:23:25.

ten seconds that he might have done it because he's up for anything,

:23:25.:23:29.

there. Look at that he's still enjoying it. They'll be buzzing for

:23:29.:23:33.

ages. The reaction in Germany and the newspapers there will be pretty

:23:33.:23:37.

strong as well. Germany is going through a bad time with horseracing.

:23:37.:23:42.

Really? It's not as popular as it used to be. I see, in terms of

:23:42.:23:45.

attendance. Prize money - it's not doing great. The King George part

:23:45.:23:54.

of the Qipco Champions Series, the group together, the mile and a

:23:55.:24:04.
:24:05.:24:29.

quarter, mile-and-a-half races - Frankel, will be running. That

:24:29.:24:34.

would be marvellous if he turns up - it would be great. Steve Drowne

:24:34.:24:38.

has joined us. Have you got over that? Wasn't that a fabulous race?

:24:38.:24:42.

It was great it doesn't appear to be any hard-luck stories. She

:24:42.:24:47.

looked the winner. He only had to wait for Nathaniel to make his move

:24:47.:24:51.

before switching around. There was no fluke about it. He's a five-

:24:52.:24:55.

lengths Arc winner at the end of the day. You can see Andreas Starke

:24:55.:25:01.

there saying, "Did you get there?" It looked as though Willie thought

:25:01.:25:06.

he had won, and Andreas Starke was looking at Willie thinking I got

:25:06.:25:11.

beat. Looking at the replay, I thought Nathaniel had won, but on

:25:11.:25:15.

the freeze frame, it was clear - it had gone the other way. She's a

:25:15.:25:21.

very, very good filly. There is not many horses that can win the Arc by

:25:21.:25:24.

five lengths because that is a championship. You have the best of

:25:24.:25:27.

the three-year-olds. You have best old horses, four-year-olds, so

:25:27.:25:30.

you've got everything there. And the reaction to Danedream's win

:25:30.:25:36.

there is to cut her price for the Arc. She's now around about 6-1 for

:25:36.:25:46.
:25:46.:26:01.

wasn't he? He was. He had the bit to find, and he didn't find it.

:26:01.:26:05.

That's the story. The Arc de Triomphe there - it all depends on

:26:05.:26:09.

what the ground will be on the day - which horse will win - taking a

:26:09.:26:12.

price at the moment - you don't know what the ground is going to be

:26:12.:26:16.

like. That's a very fair point. Steve, as far as you're concerned,

:26:16.:26:19.

you're still aimed at getting back to race riding. What's the

:26:19.:26:24.

situation? Yeah, I am in a strange situation where I passed out at

:26:24.:26:27.

home doing the gardening in March. All the tests so far have been

:26:27.:26:30.

clear. That sounds good, but it's not for my situation because as

:26:30.:26:34.

long as the tests are clear, they can't find anything wrong with me,

:26:34.:26:38.

I have to sit it out. It's a waiting game. Are you allowed to

:26:38.:26:45.

ride out? No, because of insurance, I am not insured, and the trainer I

:26:45.:26:50.

ride for isn't insured either. I have no driver's licence. I am

:26:50.:26:54.

stuck. My word. It is a desperate situations but you feel well in

:26:54.:26:58.

yourself? Never been better. Like I say, because thrig nothing wrong

:26:58.:27:04.

with me, I have to sit it out. But they're still doing tests. How long

:27:04.:27:09.

do you think this will take? At the moment I am out until March, next

:27:09.:27:13.

year, when the year is up. Like I say, with a bit of luck, they can

:27:13.:27:17.

find something and shorten that wait. Earlier on Olivier Peslier

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

picked up a suspension for careless riding on Joe Fanning -- his horse.

:27:31.:27:39.

What a thrilling weekend for the King George. If you want to

:27:39.:27:44.

continue watching, there is coverage now on the opening round

:27:44.:27:54.
:27:54.:28:01.

of the penultimate championship and filly, first time since 1983 - it's

:28:01.:28:06.

hats off to Danedream. What a fitting finish to the King George.

:28:06.:28:12.

Bye-bye. Welcome to the most majestic race course in the UK. A

:28:12.:28:15.

huge crowd gathered for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth

:28:15.:28:25.
:28:25.:28:25.

Stakes. That's it. They're racing. Ripping to the far side violently -

:28:25.:28:30.

that's enough in hand. She'll look quite the winner. All I have to say

:28:30.:28:37.

is Ryan Moore has timed it to perfection. Pastoral Player, and he

:28:37.:28:42.

has to be good enough to beat Pastoral Player. Edinburgh Knight

:28:42.:28:45.

sprouting wings, and Field Of Dream - Field Of Dream down the outside.

:28:45.:28:48.

Field Of Dream going home from Edinburgh Knight. You look through

:28:48.:28:53.

this race and think there are five or six horses that had a genuine

:28:53.:28:57.
