01/06/2012 Racing from Epsom

12 or 15 miles from London's city centre, if you swoop down to the

south you come to Epsom Downs, and this is the scene of the greatest

and most unique race course, with its sweeping left-hand bend, down

the hill towards the winning post and the course to be dealt with by

the horse to be considered the greatest. The celebrations have

started early, whether they've come by bus or they've come to enjoy the

funfair in the course. Today is Investec Oaks Day and it's a

stunningly high calibre field for a race that's exclusively for fillies

and with that in mind it's also Ladies' Day today with a prize for

the best dressed. She will win a diamond necklace and it's 60 die

tphopbdz to mark -- diamonds in it to mark the Jubilee. We have

flowers in red, white and blue, the bunting is out. There is a real

holiday feel. Tomorrow is the official start of the Diamond

Jubilee. The Queen will be here to witness the most historic and most

famous flat race in the world. It's the ultimate test of a horse.

It needs stamina and speed and balance and a very good mind.

can prepare and prepare and do your homework but you never know what's

going to happen out there. And they're all in and they're now

under starter's orders for the He has the Derby in his sights!

It's something you don't forget. And Frankie Dettori lays to rest

his Derby ghost. He is going to win the double!

They head to the line. The Derby's such an amazing race

they've got to have every ingredients to win. It's the

ultimate. One of the hardest tracks, it's like being on a rollercoaster,

you have to sit tight. And one of only nine jockeys will

get that feel tomorrow, it won't be Frankie Dettori, sadly, he is off

to Haydock, he doesn't have a ride, nor does Johnny Johnny Murtagh.

Jimmy Fortune, big day for him today and tomorrow. He will be on

Bonfire, second favourite currently. Hayley Turner has her first ride in

the Derby. Ryan Moore, the only jockey in the line-up who has won

the race on Workforce. Lord Lloyd Webber and his wife

arriving here with huge hopes. He Wonderful, wonderful scenes of

people enjoying themselves and they've dressed up, really made an

effort. Many will be hoping that they go home richer than they

arrived if they select a winner, or two. But it's a great atmosphere.

Very warm, it's close in terms of temperature but occasionally a

breeze comes across to ruffle the hair of Willie Carson, a man an

expert at riding around this course. Used to be, Claire. You were. It

provides such a challenge. What do you make of only nine runners for

the Derby? The smallest field in 105 years. Camelot, who was

champion two-year-old, superstar, came out and won the Guineas and

won going away. Everybody who thought they might come here and

get a place have stayed at home, because they've said to themselves

it's a waste of time because Camelot is such a good horse. Don't

forget we have other horses in the race, as well. Yes, yes. My brother

trains the second favourite Bonfire and there is a pub not far from

here and in the middle of the night a ghostly figure appears and writes

the name of the horse they think will win in chalk above the wishing

well. They've been right out of nine years. Eight out of the last

13 they've been right. So it's a very good tipster. The name they

have put in chalk this year... Bonfire. Let's see if there will be

a bit of heat tomorrow! Exactly. There will be fireworks early. The

last time everybody saw you was in the jungle. It's almost as warm

here today as there. You did brilliantly, by the way.

survived. You survived very well. Excel hrpbt. -- excellent. It's

nice to be back here with you, Claire. It will be maybe our last

Derby meeting but there we go. Let's look at what we have in store

between now and 4.30pm this the world, the Queen, will be here

tomorrow. Mick Fitzgerald and Willie Carson

will take us through the totally unique course. We go up and down

the Epsom Downs. We will be looking at Camelot, the

horse named after a mythical kingdom, he comes into the Derby

unbeaten and an odds-on favourite. Also, today we go behind the scenes

in Newmarket to find out more about the trainer William Haggas who won

The Oaks last year and could do this year with Vow. We have five

way to the start for the Princess Elizabeth Stakes. This is our first

live race and that's the favourite, Lay Time, ridden by Jimmy Fortune.

Here is Jim with the full list. So, let's look at them for this

first race at the Investec Derby Festival.

where masses of money will be piling on both for tomorrow's races

and today, we join John Parrot. Yes, an opening race here. Sees a

well backed favourite, Lay Time now Lay Time.

The favourite here, Lay Time, has been well backed, here is a lovely

slow-motion start of her. This is her first start of the season.

She's beautifully bred, by Gallileo. That's Lay Time on the way down to

the start. She's been working well at home and looked progressive last

year and they take quite a while to get down to the start and just

steady themselves up. There's a saying, Claire, and the first horse

you see usually wins. Well, she was the first to post and she was the

first horse that we saw on the track today. So, if the old saying

goes, the first horse you see will win, this filly will win. Six of

the other stats to be aware of - six of the last eight eight

favourites have won. She is the favourite. Barefoot Lady is a very

useful filly and she is a four- year-old. She won a decent race on

her re-appearance last year. That's over a year ago. But she is not

very big. But she is a tough filly. You remember last year when she won

the Nell Gyn. She ran at York last time and she's very, very brave. I

would imagine if she handles this Epsom track she will run another

very, very bold race today. Richard Fahey has had winners all

over the place. He is a good trainer, especially when he brings

his horses south. Here we are. The colours there of Princess Hai. Gave

birth to a son a few months ago. Joviality here, out of interest, is

a half-sister, the same mother as Bonfire who runs obviously tomorrow

in the Derby. She and Barefoot Lady are closely linked on form because

she just pipped Barefoot Lady at York last May. A lovely filly.

She's a very nice filly and John Gosden started the season off very

well. His horses are in top form. He was another nice filly that's

going to give a very bold show for herself, but I believe this filly,

she's actually... Clinical. She's going to prep for Ascot. Whatever

she does today she's going to run at Ascot, so I would imagine she

will run even better at Ascot. That's Clinical, trained by Sir

Mark Prescott. Has Worthadd coming up later. Seb Sanders not riding.

Wonder where he is today. He usually rides these horses. But he

is not here today. Of course, Sir Mark Prescott's horse in the next

race - he always rides the Italian horse. A glimpse there of Boastful.

Lay Time our favourite at 13-8 ahead of Barefoot Lady and

Joviality. Here is Jim. They're set to go. They're off and

running. Away to a fair start, on the

outside Navarra Queen jumped OK but Barefoot Lady driving through on

the inside to take up the early running. On the outside the grey

Clinical goes into second. Joviality behind them. That's

Boastful fighting for a head early. They settle as the pace increases

slightly. On the outside Lay Time, trapped three wide as they go to

the highest point of the course. A length and a half to Night Lily.

They swing left-handed now, about to freewheel downhill. Valencha is

last. The leader is Barefoot Lady. He's put on the brakes slightly.

The outside Lay Time, is trapped out wide. They run down the hill.

They're followed further back on the inside by Night Lily. Then

Navarra Queen and Valencha. Around the corner. The leader is Barefoot

Lady, by a half length. On the outer Clinical, the grey. Tucked

behind them in third the green jacket of Joviality. Followed out

wider by Boastful. Then Lay Time moving up now on the outside. Has

been wide throughout. Night Lily followed by Navarra Queen. Three

lengths to Valencha. They set sail for the home strait. Clinical moved

up to put a head in front. Goes a neck up. Barefoot Lady is fighting

back as they pass the two. Here is Navarra Queen, launched from the

rear. Now Joviality starting to get into the clear. But off balance.

It's Clinical the leader as they race up with a furlong to go. Leads

bay length to Barefoot Lady. Then Joviality starting to stride home

now. In front is Clinical. Joviality absolutely flying down

the outside. But Clinical has held on. Clinical

beat Joviality. In third was Barefoot Lady. Followed by Navarra

Queen, and then Lay Time. Behind them was Night Lily, Valencha and a

last Boastful. Clinical, is the winner of the principle des --

Princess Elizabeth Stakes. Trained by Sir Mark Prescott. In second is

Joviality, ridden by will yap Buick Clinical. There she is on the

inside. She sat up there, just poised behind Barefoot Lady all the

way and she had enough in hand. Joviality just couldn't handle it,

she was off balance in the final furlong. Still ran on very well for

a creditible second. Barefoot Lady up there all the way. In fourth was

Navarra Queen, who ran home well for the German stable. Lay Time,

and trapped a little wide early and that's been against her. She was

trapped three wide down the hill. We see them stride up towards the

line now. The red, white and blue colours on the inside. Luke Morris

winning on Clinical and getting the money well. So, a bright start to

the meeting for chiefly Park and Luke Morris rides the first winner.

Three quarters of a length and one length the distances and the time

won three listed races in succession in Germany. And they

thought OK, that is enough, let's send her off to stud. They decided

to keep her in training and the owners have had a very good strike

rate in this race. They won it in 2006 and 2007. Luke Morris, who has

had a brilliant winter here in England, he finished second to Joe

Fanning in the jockeys championship. He's been riding out of his skin.

Of course, on the all-weather, you always get your horse up in the ban

as it were! He's done that here. He's been in the right place at the

right time. He didn't have to find too much. All he had to do was stay

on at the finish and where the fourth horse here, he came from

second last, that is Navarra Queen, who has ran a very good race, but

just ran out of petrol. Here, Luke Morris - could this guy - he could

be vying for Champion jockey one day. It is possible. I wonder

whether also - she is not a big filly? Big enough! My point is on

these undulations, compared to Joviality, I wonder if perhaps you

are better off being a small, nimble sort? Of course, now if we

go to the Winser Forest Stakes at Ascot, -- Windsor Forest Stakes at

Ascot, which one would you prefer? Joviality. Yes. Let's not take

nothing away from this filly today. This is her seventh win, you know.

She is a good filly. Obviously, they will be thinking of maybe

upgrading her maybe and try and win a Group 3 somewhere. She has been a

very good servant to the Cheveley Park stud. Very well done. She is a

daughter of Motivator, who won the Derby. There she is, too. She is

bred to do the job at Epsom. Ridden by Luke Morris today. Sir Mark

Prescott is one of Cheveley Park stud's long-standing trainers.

Here's the posing for the photograph. A great moment winning

here on Oaks day. That is the scene in the winner's enclosure. Let's

join Rishi Persad. I'm going to grab a word with Luke

Morris. Congratulations. Fantastic season and things seem to be

getting better for you. A great ride? Things are going well. Sir

Mark... She's a tough filly. They have gone a decent gallop. She was

the one who was able to quicken up off it? I got a perfect sit and

when I loosened her up, she stuck her head down to the line. What

about the ground? We have had a dry spell in the south? It is on the

quick side of good. Perfect ground, really. Well done. Thanks. If we

can have a word with Sir Mark? He is having a chat with the

successful Cheveley Park team. Congratulations. A filly who is

proving game and ready for her first run of the season? Yeah, she

was third in it last year, when she was a three-year-old - that was a

good run. She won three listed races in the autumn. It was almost

a bit of a disappointment because we couldn't get a Group win into

her. Really, she can only justify staying in training another year,

if she wins a Group race. Thank God she's done it. It is important to

have a good year this year, she has such a tremendous pedigree. Her dam

was also racing in the Cheveley Park colours? That's right. I have

been lucky enough to have lots of them - Cupid's Glory - they are a

straightforward family and they make training easy. Don't say that!

What about Worthadd later on in the Investec Diomed Stakes? Everything

he said about him has been spot on. Making your job easy again!

partnership remains in act. The one thing I think - we wonder if the

ground will be firm enough for him. Other than that, he has an

excellent chance. Thank you. So the winner of the Princess

Elizabeth Stakes was Clinical at 7- 1. It is one for the bookmakers.

Fingers burnt with Lay Time. She is such a sweet filly, this. She keeps

pricking her ears and looking at the camera going, "Oh, hello, is

all the attention on me?" Let's take a full look at the race with

Ian Bartlett and Mick Fitzgerald. Yes, let's look at the start of

this race. One of them in the early part of the race, Boastful, she

pulls too hard. There is the winner and there is Barefoot Lady. She

sets the gallop. It is Boastful who ruins her chance in the early part

of the race. She is an import from France. She was too fizzed up today.

She was. You can see it's a bit of a job here. The start is very

important. Willie Carson says it is important at this stage to be in a

good slot. The eventual winner Clinical is next to Barefoot Lady.

You can see Boastful in behind taking a real hold and fighting her

rider. Let's move on to the half- way stage of the race. Here is the

favourite, Lay Time. At this point, Mick, Jimmy Fortune decided to make

his ground around the outside. She is in a beautiful position. She

can't pick up in the closing stages? She can't. I have spoken to

Jimmy and he said the ground is a bit loose. It won't suit every

horse. This is where she's come through now into third position.

She is only a length or so behind the eventual winner. There, three

furlongs out, the warning signs are there. She will get brushed by

Navarra Queen and Joviality. But her chance had already gone? Yes.

The other horses are finishing well. Sir Mark Prescott will be delighted

with his horse. He's done it the hard way. She was third in this

race 12 months ago. Joviality, the green jacket, she would have gone

closer if she had handled the course? I think so. She had every

opportunity. If you ask William Buick, he said it wouldn't have

mattered if he had gone round again, he probably wouldn't have got by

her. Clinical is the first winner of the day. This was Mark Prescott

watching Clinical move from second into first. He is a cool customer,

Sir Mark. He doesn't show too much emotion. His horses get going -

look at him! That is brilliant. His stable staff get more animated.

That is head girl there. She does that very well. Sir Mark, with this

filly, he has travelled her quite a lot. He has travelled her with

success. He has been to Ireland. The presentation being made there.

Investec, the sponsors of all our races. Sir Mark can be firm with

his jockeys? He usually gives you a letter with the instructions in it.

Does he? Oh yes! Always has done. I remember those. I have known him

since and he said I was never able to do what I was told on the

letters. Why? I don't know. That was his opinion. Interesting. I

never knew that. He has his certain waips that he likes his horse --

ways that he likes his horses to be ridden. The jockey gets a letter

and is told how to ride it in that letter. We will find out whether he

has written it in Italian! Today and tomorrow, the Diamond Jubilee

Weekend starts early. The Queen will be here tomorrow. We thought

we would take the opportunity to focus on some of the people who

have either ridden for the Queen, or trained for the Queen, or been

involved in her racing interests and what pleasure that has given

them. To train for the Queen is a real

honour. She could easily have been a trainer herself, I am sure, if

she hadn't been the Queen. I find it incredibly easy dealing with her.

She makes you extremely comfortable when you are talking to her. Part

of the reason for that is she loves being with her horses. She has

loved racing for such a long time. I think mainly because of her

involvement through the breeding side. Breeders have I think a

deeper passion for the sport than people who go and buy horses. You

feel as though they are your children. Indeed, in the Queen's

case, she's - some of these are fourth or 5th Generation, maybe

more even. She has a wealth of knowledge and most incredible

memory. She can reel off pedigrees going back generations. It is

extraordinary. It is a handsome individual. Shows great promise.

always talked about horses. She would talk for half an hour. Then

one day, the date that Mrs Thatcher was elected Prime Minister, I was

talking to her. She suddenly said, "Ian, what do you think about our

new Prime Minister?" I said, "It is extraordinary to think we are going

to be governed by a woman!" And there was silence at the other end

of the phone. I thought, "Oh God, what have I said?" She laughed.

She's always laughed about it. It was a bit of a slip. There is a

lady getting in the mood for Diamond Jubilee Weekend. My father

finishing off those tales. I always thought it was to the Queen's

credit that (a) she laughed and (b) she kept horses with him! He will

be here tomorrow. Very much soaking up the atmosphere, one member of

our team who gets the job of talking to people is Sonali Shah.

Thank you very much. I can confirm everything that you have been

saying this morning. It really does feel like that Jubilee weekend has

started early. This really does feel that extra bit special. It

feels very different here, almost like everyone's on their best

behaviour, like they know they are part of something bigger this year.

Of course, it is Ladies' Day which means it is all about fashion and

style and everyone has stepped it up a gear. I tried the patriotic

vibe myself. There is a fashion competition going on. There are

photographers and stylists going amongst the crowd to scout the

best-dressed. I have scouted a few myself. Hello. You are all looking

great. Thank you. What made you choose this outfit? I always knew I

was going to wear this dress. I found the hat in a vintage shop.

noticed your gloves. That is what Her Majesty does! You certainly

have got the Royal theme. Thank you. Kate, does it feel good to be part

of the Jubilee weekend? It is a day early. But everyone is in that

holiday mood? Definitely. I work in London. I have been part of the

Jubilee build-up. It feels great to be here. Lots of people have taken

part in it. People seem to have made an effort this year. As soon

as that race was on, everyone went crazy and they were misbehaving

more! You girls have had a winner. You will enjoy your day. Thank you

very much. Good luck in the competition. We are going to be

speaking about the Queen's style later on in the show and just after

3.00pm, we will be announcing the winner of that style competition

live on BBC Two. We are talking about winners and

Andy, your approach is slightly different. You are a speed ratings

man? I spend a lot of time doing a lot of speed figures. I think it

gives you an impression of how fast horses can run. Because those times

aren't in the public domain, it does give you an edge. That is what

you are looking for. If we look at the Oaks' bettering, what is your

view? It is a very competitive race. On form, The Fugue is a worthy

bigger prices to take your eye. Shirocco Star. Probably needed the

run at Newbury. But with that run I am expecting a massive run out of

that today. Tomorrow obviously the big race, the Derby. What is your

views on that? It's Camelot's to lose. The opposition has been

scared off. If you are a short price merchant he is the one for

you. I am looking for value in the race. I probably go for Astrology.

Ballydoyle have dominated the category this season. Another horse

that did a good speed figure at Chester last time out. With Ryan

Moore on board, he is probably the eachway angle in the race. There

must be a stand out for you today somewhere. What have you come up

with? Worthadd probably the one at a short price today. Sir Sir Mark

Prescott had a winner already. The last race, Shohan, last time at

volume ter Hampton. -- Wolverhampton. If he can translate

that back to the turf. I think he is probably the one punters want to

concentrate on in the last. have to do a lot of homework,

haven't you? Certainly not frightened of that. I didn't like

homework at school, but believe you me, it does work.

Johnnie Murtagh is out there taking a good look at the course. He rides

Vow in The Oaks and interestingly Stand To Reason in the next race

has been withdrawn, because the trainer has decided the ground

isn't suitable for him. We have heard reports from some jockeys

that it's a bit loose. You talked to Jimmy Fortune. And a couple of

the other lads that came in and Jimmy said it's not going to suit

every horse and that's the thing you have got, when you have watered

ground that's the worry. We will move on to the next race and see if

we can get more clues as to which horses are suited by it and which

are not. The fairground is in full swing. That will be packed tomorrow.

How do you fancy that ride, Claire!? I hate those rides. That

one is fine. More lady-like. Exactly. You don't want to have

eaten anything before you have been on any of those. Jim can give us

the full line-up for the Investec Wealth and Investment Handicap.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 67 seconds

immensely well in the first race and he will have high hopes with

Gatewood. The same colours that he will carry in the Derby tomorrow

with Thought Worthy. Winner of two from four so far, and

winning over this trip at York a fortnight ago and I think the

important thing is that Goesden rates this horse and essentially he

is pretty well handicapped so big chance for Gatewood. Let's hear

from the trainer of Pekan Star. He doesn't run very often, is he

fragile as a horse? Well, physically he is not fragile any

more, he was as a young horse. He didn't run much as a young horse.

But a good solid sound horse now, and I think the best time to catch

this horse is fresh and I think he doesn't take a quick race so well.

That's why he had his races spaced out last year. He won first time

last year so we are hoping we might be able to replicate that today.

won the year before as well. He had to wait to October that year. Out

earlier this year. Do we take it that you have circled this race for

him? I couldn't say he is anything less than a character. I think if

he is going to win it might be a little bit up to him, than up to me.

But not necessarily this race, I was keen to run him at a quirky

track. I had actually declared to run him at Chester because I

thought it might suit him, a tight track and he picked up an infection

before, so I had to withdraw him. I have come here, whether he handles

the track - I think he will, it will keep him interested up and

around and down the hill and up the strait. Fresh and well. He is

working well. He's got a ton of ability. It's just up to him if he

wants to use it. We wish you well and hope he is in a good mood.

Thank you very much. So the favourite is Gatewood. Now

Gatewood and Borug. Amongst the jockeys on their way

down to the start Frankie Dettori and Michael Barzalona riding

against each other and interesting... Gatewood. Let's talk

about Frankie Dettori and Michael. There's speculation this week,

which was inaccurate, that Frankie might be about to retire. He

doesn't have a ride in the Derby Derby tomorrow and Michael

Barzalona takes a mount. There is Frankie as a young man. We know how

much the public have grown to love him and he won the Derby on

Unauthorised. This is his moment finally to win. We all enjoyed it

with him that day. We did. Do you think that he is still every bit

the top-class jockey or is - or people like Barzalona coming up to

his quality and class? Claire, I am an owner of race horses and if it

came to me having a very good horse, I would love Frankie to be riding

my horse, in any top race, because he enjoys being the centre of

attention. When he is, he is the best jockey in the weighing room.

But there are days when he's not, like if he had a runner at

Folkestone, I certainly wouldn't be putting him on board. But the big

occasions, Frankie Dettori is the master. Last night there was a race

which he won late on where Frankie didn't ride for the boys in blue,

he rode for Brian Mehan and won the race and his understudy, Mr

Barzalona, got in such a muddle on one of his other horses. So, it

just showed that you Frankie is still the top dog. I know they're

trying to bring on the young boys because it's the future, but on the

big occasions that man you see in the picture is who you want on your

side. It will be a very interesting test of his temperament, jest the

rest of this -- just the rest of this season. It's not his fault he

hasn't got a Derby ride. The other horses, only other one he might

have been offered was trained by Aidan O'Brien and that's a no-no.

They're setting him up for Haydock. They are important races. Look at

him. He is animated and relaxed. is at Epsom. He's got the

atmosphere. He is on top form and he is the guy that - I think this

filly will run big because Frankie is buzzing.

It's also worth remembering that Frankie Dettori, who when he took

over as the main rider for Godolphin he did so in

controversial circumstances. Walter Swinburne had won the Derby for the

Godolphin team in 1995. Amazingly, he was replaced for the King George

by Frankie Dettori. People couldn't believe that the jockey who rode

the winner would be replaced. The That's what he is doing by bringing

in Barzalona. They're spreading the pool of jockeys and things are

changing. Frankie Dettori isn't going to be around forever so you

can understand them planning. I would say Frankie is still the best

of the three. As Willie said, he is still top dog. You have to think

about it as a punter. If you have your last fiver in your pocket, you

have a choice between Barzalona, Frankie Dettori or DeSouza. For me

it would always be Frankie. Let's talk about the ground today. It's

been dry as we all know in the south of England, I was here

yesterday, there was water being put on, around parts of the course.

A few experts walked it and thought there was no firm anywhere, do you

agree? I do. You can tell by the colour of the grass. They've done a

great job. It's in perfect condition. But it's not perfect for

everybody. We haven't heard yet whether Kissed is going to take her

chance later. We know she wants softer ground. Interesting to see

what happens. Which horse will be suited in The Oaks? Maybe. I am

going for Vow. The horses are at the start and

there is Michael Barzalona, the new import, as it were, for Godolphin.

The man we saw at the age of 19 last year winning the Investec

Derby with the most thrilling late run down in the middle of the

course and stood up to celebrate a full three or four strides before

the line. Look at this. He stands up before the winning line. My

goodness! And he said then I don't know what happened to me, it was a

rush of blood to the head. Fast forward to the Dubai World Cup and

here he is and even further back he stands up. He has since said I

won't do it again. Thank goodness for that. We are all happy if he

doesn't do that. One day he will fall off before the winning line

and there will be a hoo-ha. He is still only 20, wonderfully talented

rider. He is definitely the up and coming horse and we will get -- and

he will get plenty of good rides for Godolphin.

He is a horse that David has just acquired and he will be a bit

better for the race here today. He is not 100%. But hopefully they'll

be thinking he will run a good race. Let's look at Resurge who won this

race last year. He is an absolute Epsom specialist. His form here

reads one-two, one-two, one-50. He loves Epsom. Ran here six, seven

times now. 2lbs lower than when he won this race last year and he won

at Windsor last time out. So, they'll be very hopeful that he

will run a big race. Stuart knows this horse really well.

So your favourite remains Gatewood. All the money in the last few

minutes has been a resurge for paddock before. We heard from Roger,

the trainer of Pekan Star. You can see the runners down there at the

start. Aidan O'Brien is about to walk the course and will make a

decision on whether Kissed runs in The Oaks or not. That decision will

be coming imminently. James Doyle, how good is he? He's really come to

the fore, ever since Dubai this year. It was a Group 1 and he's

been flying around the world now. Hong Kong and places. He has really

filled his boots really big ly. He's cat a-- catapulted himself as

being a Group one jockey. Aidan O'Brien, what a trainer that guy is.

What a record. He's just gone in for a quickie. He's gone in to tell

them whether Kissed runs or not, that's the media centre he was

going into. Cry Fury, he hasn't run for quite a while. He's been gelded.

He will have a chance. James Doyle riding for Roger Charlton. Steve

Drown has been suffering from dizzy spells and the doctor won't let him

ride again. There is a Derby- winning skwrpbg, -- jockey. Kieron

Fallon. He's becoming one of the oldest boys in the weighing room.

The grandad of the weighing room. He is a jockey that around Epsom

you would want him on your side. Doesn't have a ride in the Derby.

And doesn't in The Oaks either. Kieron Fallon going forward there

on Borug. Very serious look on him, as well.

Got a lovely draw. Here you always want that inside because this is

not a place to be going three, four wide around it. If you get a low

draw it does help your lot. Gatewood is going forward in the

white colours, right in the middle. That's our favourite, Gatewood.

Lovely looking horse, as well. I mentioned that George will carry

those colours tomorrow. Lovely Resurge won here last year. He's

now 6-1, just easing slightly. He's two pound lower in the handicap

than he was last year. We will see how he gets on. They are ready,

they are stet - and they are racing! -- set - and they are

racing! A good level break, too. Pivotman one of the first away with

Pekan Star and Creme Anglaise is DUP up there. Licence To Till is

there in the centre, Rumh in eighth or ninth position. It is Creme

Anglaise on the outside of Pivotman, a length-and-a-half to Licence To

Till, on the outside of Pekan Star, just in behind them Ottoman Empire,

they are followed by Resurge who takes up a rails position, inside

Ramona Chase, then Black Spirit, trapped out wide is Haylaman,

followed by Borug and further back in the field is Rumh. They charge

downhill and Gatewood is last. The leader at this point is Pivotman

from, on the outside, Creme Anglaise, a length-and-a-half

further back Licence To Till, Pekan Star, Ottoman Empire, Black Spirit,

racing outside Ramona Chase, on the inside is Resurge. They run down to

Tattenham Corner. They are followed by Cry Fury, further back is Borug

and they are followed by Gatewood with ten lengths to make up and

Rumh is last. Into the home straight. On the inside Pivotman

trying to get through is Ottoman Empire and Jamie Spencer has

threaded the needle. He's a neck in front. Resurge is coming into the

picture and also there is Creme Anglaise. It's Ottoman Empire, from

Pivotman. Then Licence To Till who is joining in. Ottoman Empire

drifting out towards the centre, Borug is coming from the clouds,

Borug and Resurge, Borug takes the lead. Gatewood flying. Gatewood is

going to beat them all! Gatewood got up to win from Ottoman Empire

and Borug and just behind them Haylaman, they were followed by

Black Spirit and Licence To Till and Cry Fury. Towards the rear, one

of the last to pull up is Rumh and the absolute last past the line is

Pekan Star. So the winner is Gatewood, swamped them down the

outside, William Buick, gets up to win from Ottoman Empire, in third

Borug and behind them in fourth place was Black Spirit. On the

inside Licence To Till, on the near side Haylaman, three, four, five-

deep most of the way, Mickael Barzalona. In behind them Resurge,

who couldn't finish with the flourish today. They were followed

by Cry Fury. In between them is Pivotman and Ramona Chase and then

Creme Anglaise and then Rumh in the Godolphin Royal Blue. Let's check

the one, two, three, four: First is 10 Gatewood, ridden by William

Buick. In second Ottoman Empire, Jamie Spencer, third Borug ridden

by Keiren Fallon and fourth was Black Spirit, Haylaman is there.

This is why Epsom is such a thrilling racecourse. What a

finish! William Buick sat second last - there's John Gosden. Horses

are running really well for him. This horse has done this in

stunning style. This is why flat- racing is so exciting to watch.

Look here, William Buick for a second or two thinks, "Where am I

going to go?" Mick Fitzgerald is standing

alongside me. The gap comes. It is not very big. He is going to have

to angle out here and go woosh! This is a split-second decision. It

can go right or wrong. It's gone right for him. He waited for that

gap to come. He needed an instant and he took it. Very, very exciting

finish, this. You can see how good this horse must be because that is

a difficult thing to do, to pick up and make up all of that ground.

He's come to the middle of the track where the camber isn't as

steep. There is an advantage to doing that. It was a nice, smooth,

clean run. You can see the satisfaction on John Gosden's face.

William Buick will think, "I got lucky there!" He is world-class as

a jockey. William Buick coming back. The distance is a neck and the same.

The time 2:07.19. Nothing like a win here on this Derby course.

Particularly when you have the got the rides this young man has in the

next 25/26 hours. He has The Fugue later on in the Oaks. He won so

well at York. He's explaining to John Gosden, his retaining trainer,

just what happened. The racing manager for George Strawbridge in

the background. There is William Buick, a man for the big occasion.

The time they ran there was 1.62 seconds slower than the Racing Post

standard. It makes the win of Gatewood more meritorious. Here is

the winning jockey. He could be set for a big weekend. Congratulations.

A word about Gatewood, who I think has to be a good horse to have done

what he did today? He got lost, he was slow away at York and slow away

today. I left him alone. He got a bit lost. Frankie let me out. He

done well to get there. For me, he was at the top of the straight,

he's done well to win. He won despite the camber, the course and

being slowly away He has quality. This could be a very good weekend

for you. You want to keep your feet on the ground. The Fugue coming up,

how will she enjoy the conditions? How will she go on this course?

We will have to wait and see. will let you go. Well done.

The punters equalise - Gatewood wins. The winner is Gatewood, your

9-4 favourite. A very competitive handicap for our second race. A

good performance from a horse. Black Spirit does well from here.

Here is your winner and he will be at the back of the field. This

horse, Borug, he breaks a bit awkwardly. He sits down as the

gates opened. He sits down and he's just had to go out the back. You

can see the winner and the third are in the last two after you have

gone 200 yards. Yeah, the winner is almost in the all-white colours...

And the second is up, a low draw, the second in the green colours

with Spencer on board. He's got a very good draw, a very good start

and got a good position in the race. Let's look at them coming into the

home straight. There is the winner. A horse that we were talking about.

Black Spirit has run OK here. He's been forced to be on the outside of

the field. Yes. If you are going to pick a horse out of the race, you

have to go for the winner. He's gone right round the whole field.

He has travelled the furthest ground. And then the horse that

finishes fourth, who was drawn right on the outside, he's had

every chance there, but he ran out of petrol. He's ran a very, very

good race to finish fourth. Where you see Jamie Spencer on the horse

that was drawn one from the inside rail, he's had a free run, he's ran

a good race as well. Why is he going towards the middle of the

course? Is he getting tired? He's going up the hill and he is getting

tired. Now he is starting to come down. He is getting even more tired.

The camber is taking him down. But the - you see the third horse, the

trainer was saying he is a quirky customer. Well, this racetrack, the

going round and keeping turning, turning, turning, it makes the

horses just - it keeps them alert. They always run their best races on

a track like Epsom. It gets them excited because they don't know

what is happening. They are going downhill, they are going up. That

type of animal, you always get the best out of him at a racecourse

like Epsom. Were you confident of him on the home turn? I was not, no.

Were you not? No. He's come round the whole field and I would say

that he has won there. He's only won by a neck there. If you ran

that race again on a straight course, he would win by a lot

further. Even you could ride it! Probably. After the race, William

Buick was reluctant to talk about the chances of The Fugue. This man

is the owner. Andrew Lloyd Webber joins me. You have the favourite

for the Oaks? It is fantastic. The horse is a home-bred. We bred her

mother. One of her famous ballets was The Fugue. It is a musical term.

It was a well-known American ballet. The way she won at York, she won

there - it was one of the most impressive things I have seen all

year. It was rather extraordinary. How she will do today, I don't know.

She has never done this distance before. It is longer than she has

ever done. She hasn't got the greatest position. The biggest

problem in my life is I am part of a fractured family. I have my wife

and myself and our friends at one side of the restaurant, and the

other side I have my mother-in-law because she has an interest in Vow.

We are showing your reaction to The Fugue after she won. You said,

"Brav The Fugue!" What did your wife say after that? She said I

shouldn't be so cocky. I think this whole Twitter thing is for a laugh

anyway. You are great fun to follow. You don't follow anyone at all!

Only you and the Dalai Lama do that. Does he race. No. You were

explaining about your mother-in-law being in the syndicate who owns Vow.

Is your wife with you or with her mother? With me! She's not talking

to her mother at all. She seems to have got enough people. Madeleine's

father is there supporting them. The family is not as it should be

on a weekend when we should be celebrating. Hopefully, you will be

back together, certainly if the two come to the line together... A dead

heat is what I need! You will be together by Monday when we have the

Diamond Jubilee Concert. You and Gary Barlow have written this

fabulous song Sing which has been the video - the story goes out on

Sunday? It does. Gary went around the Commonwealth to find an artist

for the song. We have a chance it will go to number one, I think.

That is not the point. It is just the joy of being involved in the

whole thing. I shall play on Monday with gar ry. We will try not to

make each -- Gary. We will try not to make each other laugh.

played the song for the first time to the Queen on her birthday?

That's true. We were supposed to have kept that quiet. It was going

to leak out, I suppose. It was very exciting. She has said that we are

allowed to say she is delighted with it. Good. That's really great.

I think she was. A big weekend for you in many ways? Yes, it is. It is.

I'm glad I'm not doing the song on the flotilla! That would be a worry.

It is great. Really looking forward to it. Brilliant. Good luck with

The Fugue. Thank you very much. Good luck on Monday as well. The

owner of The Fugue. Out on the course, the track that she will

have to negotiate and the other runners for the Oaks, there is

Aidan O'Brien with his team of jockeys for the Oaks. The tallest

is his son, Joseph, who will be on board Maybe. He will walk the whole

way round and make a decision about whether Kissed can run or not.

Let's take a look at this course and what the horses have to

negotiate in today's Oaks and specifically in tomorrow's Derby

with Willie Carson and Mick Derby winner. How important is the

draw and to get a good start? the start is so important,

especially in the Derby. There is usually a lot of runners. This year,

there's only nine. It is important to get your horse away up this hill

and across to the right-hand side. When you go up to the corner, the

brow of the hill, that is where all the trouble is. That is when you

get all the scrummaging. That is when you get in a lot of trouble.

That is why you want to be drawn one of the most famous shots on the

track. Underneath these trees. is the point you are going to think

about going back across to the left side. When do you get back to the

left side that is your position, it's going to be for nearly the

whole of the race. You are hoping you get a good position, near the

inside running rail and a bit of room to gallop in and you are

hoping that you haven't used any petrol up from the start to that

point. Willie, we have come to the top of

the hill. Yes, it's 110 feet from the start to this point. This point

here is a little plat tow, when the horses give out a big breath,

because they've stopped climbing. Thank goodness we have stopped

climbing! Then they start along this bit. The thing that surprised

me is how much you turn. From the seven and a half, right around to

Tattenham Corner into the strait, all that way you are you are

turning all the time, that's why you don't want to be too wide.

Coming down the hill to Tattenham Corner. The ground is still going

away from you. The most important thing is not to be too wide. If you

are here where we are now you are getting too wide. You want to be as

close to the rail as you can, otherwise you are giving lengths

away because the horse on the inside is going the shortest route.

Willie Carson, you have grown. that's because I am on the slope at

Epsom. You can see the ground keeps going towards the inside rail. It

is quite a big slope. When you are two and a half furlongs from home,

like we are now, this is when you are letting the horse off the

bridle and ask it to stretch. Horses have a tendency to go

towards the inside fence. You don't want that to happen. Two furlongs

down there a little piece of history awaits. Nice piece of

history. What happens is you have won the Epsom Derby, then you go

and have a nice glass of champagne with Her Majesty the Queen. Perfect.

Here at Epsom, only a handful of jockeys have really ExCelled and of

the modern day riders, Johnny Murtagh has won the race three

times. It's the most unique course in the world. The real test of a

three-year-old colt. It is. It's the top race, they have to have

everything balanced, speed, stamina. It tests every part of a horse.

Some great horses win it. yourself had a spin here today,

it's a test for you guys when you have to lose weight. It was nice

and warm when I got here and I got here early. I ran the course. I

like to try and get the race in your mind. I know how I would like

to ride the race and when the gates open up I suppose a few other

jockeys want to do the same but I have a plan. Hopefully I have a

filly who can get me in a good position and do the job again today.

Tell bus your filly, -- tell us about your filly, Vow. She's shown

an enormous amount of ability in both her runs. She's so

inexperienced, are you concerned by that given the atmosphere and

unique nature of the course? think she will handle it. She has

good balance. She has a bit of speed and should stay stay well.

She's got a lot going for her. Only having her third run, which will be

a disadvantage, but she's smart, quick learner and I know she hung

across the last day, but she had an easy race and I said I think she

will come out of the race well. People are hoping lightning can

strike twice. Yourself and William teamed up last year This one is

more prominent in betting, good profile. The race rode well in

Lingfield. She handled the track downhill, left-handed. So, she has

a lot going for her. There's a few of of them have a chance. But I am

happy with her. I think she will improve from the last run and

should be a live chance. Best of luck in The Oaks. Thank you.

I do love my job because I have been having a good old goss with

fashion historian Judith Watt. I would like to talk about the Queen,

of course, because it's her weekend. She really does have her own sense

of style. She always seems to know exactly what to wear. Well, she has

done really for 60 years and she's fantastic at it. Remember, she was

here four days after the Coronation looking beautiful in a blue coat

and she's got a very, very fixed identity and she understands her

role as a monarch and she's not fashionable, she's well dressed.

Through that she's become iconic in her style. She's very stylish and

always goes for gloves. Always wears gloves. Very formal, very

old-fashioned. Always sensible shoes, block colours, fantastic

pinks as she's got older. Obviously, a lot of yellow. She's become much

more confident as she's got older. Tkoeu love the bright colours she

wears. She always stands out. People have come a long way to see

her. It must be like being an opera singer or actress, you have to

stand out in a fabulous costume and that's her role. She came here just

four days after her Coronation in 1953. We have some pictures to show

everyone. What makes the Derby so special, how much has it changed?

Well, the Investec Derby is the people's festival really, the

people's fair. It's always been for the common people. We see the

Pearly Kings here, the fair, it's for the people. She loves it.

They're her people. Do you think it's still the same today? Yes, I

do. You can look at everybody here, it's so mixed! It's so so raucous.

Fashions have changed so, so much over 60 years. What are on trend at

the moment? Well, what you see is a lot of hats. That's for sure.

Particularly fascinaters, but also very short skirts. We have long

skirts behind us but actually short skirts, that's the biggest change,

is the knee, above the knee. Also women are much more confident about

exposing flesh, as you can see today. That's one of the biggest

changes. Thank you very much. Some fantastic shots of of Derbys

in years gone by. I am sure many of you will know it was named the

Derby because the Earl of Derby and Sir Charles tossed a coin and the

winner would have the race named after himself and Derby won. But

Sir Charles got the upper hand in the first running of the race

because his horse won the first ever Derby in 1780 and it's after

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 67 seconds

Diomed that the next race is named. deserves to be on form. This is

Worthadd. Good over shorter distances, he won an Italian Group

2 over a mile as well and was back to form on his debut for his new

yard winning a Group 3 two weeks ago.

He looks the bit, Mick. certainly does. We are looking at

Dance And Dance. Ryan Moore on this. Step newspaper grade here. In

reasonable form. He needs to come back to the sort of form he showed

last year. An interesting - Ryan Moore on

Dance And Dance. Jamie Spencer was on Dance And Dance and now rides

Marcret. Musical chairs. Side Glance. He is a son of Passing

Glance and he won this race in 2004. So, if families are anything to go

- the difference is this is a different type of horse to Passing

Glance. Classy looking. He finished fourth in a Group 1. Andrew will be

hoping to relieve the nerves and this horse runs well, but Bonfire

in the Derby tomorrow. Let's hear from his trainer, with Rishi now.

He is indeed, of course it's your brother, Claire. How are you? Are

you in check, your nerves at least, ahead of the weekend? We are coping.

The horse I thought we had the best chance of winning got well beaten

in the first. It's not a great way to start. Feels like it's all

uphill. Save the big one for tomorrow. You have Side Glance here,

a horse who I know you always thought that he had his best on

fast ground. Is he getting better? He is. He was very fresh the first

run, needed it. Second run wasn't ideal for him. I would be concerned

about the track. He's got plenty to do. But it should be, as long as he

handles the track, should be ideal ground conditions. Best of luck.

Now, in the weighing room with Willie, we are going to look around

and explain what happens when jockeys come in here. Back in your

day they had one of these. Does it still work? Yeah. A stone heavier

than I used to be. That's the scales. Now you go on digital

scales. You stand on the yellow square there. The clerk of the

scales, over there, he will see that you are carrying the correct

weight. Then you bring your saddle over to the rail here and normally

- it's very quiet here at the moment - normally it's very busy

here. The The trainer comes and takes the saddle from to you take

away and put it on to the horse. You have to stay with your saddle.

You have to stay - as soon as you get off those scales and you have

that saddle, you cannot let it out of your sight until the trainer

takes it off your hands. So there is no interference with the weights.

This is where everybody checks you have the right number and colours.

Over there, you can see the number clubs. And also if the horse has

blinkers or anything. You give the equipment to the trainer. Of course,

that's the the time when you get the real riding instructions, when

it's the trainer... What do you mean real strubgs? -- instructions?

The trainer there, the jockey here. You get the real instructions and

he tells you what to do and all about the horse and when you get to

the paddock and all the the chat goes on it's allth not -- it's not

always about the strubgs, the -- instructions, the real business is

done here. The poor owners don't get exactly toer what -- exactly to

hear what is going to happen? Sometimes. Sometimes not. William

Buick just about to weigh up. you are. And there the number. This

is for real, William. This is for real, isn't it? I hope it is.

you are. It's for real. Thank you very much. That's what happens. And

it will be taouf the back of the -- off to the back of the horse.

the start we get a chance to talk to the new glamour awards

sportswoman of the year, Hayley Turner. Congratulations on that. I

understand from the awards that your sister got the chance to meet

Kylie Minogue and given her fantastic musical and acting career,

what did your sister say to her? She told her she should be a jockey

because she's small enough. Given up the millions of pounds she's

earned and lifestyle she's had! new apprentice coming to the racing

world, that would be good. You must have noticed a real difference

among young girls that you meet, little girls talking about what

they want to do in their lives, how many are now saying I want to be a

jockey because of you? Yeah, I mean, it's really nice. I get a lot of

interest and people want my advice, which I always find funny. But it's

nice and it's obviously opened a few doors for people and they see

it can be done, so hopefully they'll come rolling in now. Have

you had two Group 1 winners, big news in the racing world, but

outside the racing pages the thing that will make an impact is you

lining newspaper the Derby tomorrow for the first time. Yes, very

excited. Very kind of Marcus and Guy to have me on board the horse

tomorrow. It's an advantage for me to have only nine runners, so it's

less opposition, but really excited rating. If he handles the track. I

worked him recently and he gives me the feel that he will. You've got

to be in it to win it. We know from the jumping world, K2 Walsh

finished well this year. It does change people's opinions, but it

needs someone exceptional to do it. It does. Hayley would like to get

the rides on her own, not because she is a woman but because she's a

very good jockey. She has earned the right to ride the horse

tomorrow. The yes, I'm very excited about it. I bet you are. We you

feel different tomorrow morning when you wake up, which will

probably be at about 5am? I've got to get up early and ride. I think I

will be excited, definitely. But when you get on the horse, you get

in the zone and automatically block all the atmosphere out. Especially

because down at the mile and a half start, the horses get switched off

because there is no atmosphere down there like there is here. Yeah,

I'll be excited but in the zone. stay with us just to watch his next

race. They are walking the course. They set off from the mile-and-a-

half start. Aidan O'Brien with his son, Joseph. All of Aidan's

children are massively into riding. A lot of them go which event in and

have competed in show jumping. Joseph rode at the Junior European

event championships, so did Sarah, who is 17 now. JP McManus is down

there. He is much better known for his jumping exploits. And also with

his runners in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Let's take a look. Aidan

reason for Worthadd being 5-6, Apollo bookmakers just laid the

biggest bet of the meeting so far. And even fought and -- and even

�40,000. In Super glorious slow motion, Worthadd cantering down to

the start. His jockey has based himself in the UK now. It's a big

thing to do. It is. There's a lot of competition in the UK but it is

where the best racing is in my opinion, and obviously in his as

well. He is fitting in really well now, he speaks really good English.

He is a big, strong horse, Worthadd. Look at the muscle and the

thickness of his neck and shoulder. And the trainer is in red hot form.

He will be finding his way with this fellow. It's interesting that

the jockey is maintaining the link as well. He knows the horse better

than anybody. He must weigh 75 kilos more than the other runners.

Jamie Spencer has picked up a two day suspension and so has William

Bewick, both of them for careless riding in the last race. I got

squashed. In between them? Yes. Myself and Jim Crowley and Dani. It

was a bit unfortunate. It is just this track, the horses don't handle

it. His horse ran up the camber instead of down it. It's just one

of those things. It is all-Italian this race. That horse has been

doing his racing in Italy and has joined Marco Botti, who is based in

England. He's got himself pretty warm. It is a very close day. It is

conducive to sweating. It's no surprise to see any horse getting

warm. There's a lot more going on here than just the heat. This horse

was a hood. It is really a war out there today. I came in after that

race and I was roasting. I wouldn't be at all concerned about anything

like that. Wearing a hood is a really good thing. James Fanshawe,

who I ride for, wears them quite a lot. It sedates the horse is a

little bit more. Henry Cecil uses them a lot at home, virtually all

the fillies. He gets them imported from the Czech Republic. Another

set of very bright colours, pink and purple this time. It's a very

fluorescent field. That is St Moritz. Adrian Nicholls riding for

his father. He won three of his first four starts last year. He was

beaten by its Side Glance. I wonder if he will get his own way up front.

He could be our pace setter. could. He's got some decent form.

worthy of being that. Side Glance ready. Marcret is very restless

ready to go. Marcret was anxious to get out their early, but headed off

by Worthadd in the centre. St Moritz is going to go on. St Moritz

takes up the early running. Out wide in the yellow jacket his Side

Glance. Mac Love is at the tail of leader still on the inside is St

Moritz. Leads by a length to Worthadd. Marcret is travelling on

the inside. Side Glance is followed by Dance And Dance and Mac Love. St

Moritz is the leader. Narrowly from straight. Less than three furlongs

to travel. St Moritz is Black to the boards. Side Glance is called

furlong and a half left to go. In second place his Side Glance. Dance

And Dance is finishing with a front flourish. It is Worthadd being

grabbed by a Side Glance, who takes it up. Dance And Dance is flying

down the outside from a club. Side Glance has won the Diomed. Worthadd

was disappointing. Last to finish was St Moritz. Number five, Side

Glance is the winner. Andrew Balding related with that victory.

A 5-year-old by a Passing Glance, owned by pure bloodstock. 84-1

winner, Side Glance. He's done it extremely well. What a boost for

well all the way, but when he went for Worthadd, there wasn't a great

deal left. He was on the inside and struggling with a furlong left to

go. They didn't go at a great pace early and it really became a sprint

Homer. He may have been just caught flat-footed there. He may have

preferred it if the pace had have been on all the way. Let's check

them going past the line. Side Glance, Dance And Dance, Mac Love

has come from the rear. Worthadd Passing Glance, who won this race

in 2004. Andrew Balding and the whole team will be hugely later

Dover bat. Of all the runners today, and they were a bit disappointed

that Lay Time ran disappointingly in the first, but that was the

biggest test. My mother is there to the left. She bred Side Glance.

Really pleased that has worked out as well. It didn't look as if it

was on the cards. Worthadd was travelling so well, powering to the

front. He will be twice the size of this little horse. He is a very big,

heavy horse. I know he ran in Germany but that was a penalty kick

he had in Germany. Today, he looked as though he was going to go on and

win the race. But he absolutely found nothing there. He gives him a

couple of taps, has a look at Side Glance, Side Glance keeps on coming

with his run. Dance And Dance was running very well. Yes. But

Worthadd, very disappointing. When you remember that this horse

finished very strongly last year to our great Frankel at Newbury. He is

a big, heavy horse. Maybe he needs this race. Going back to Side

Glance, he didn't make life easy for Jimmy Fortune. He was pulling

so hard, very difficult to get him into way with him because you are

interrupting his stride by trying to hold him. I am amazed that he

has managed to do this today. I'm thrilled for everyone involved.

That is a tremendous boost for everybody. You don't want to be

going into Derby day with the second favourite thinking, are the

horses running all right? They are running all right. They are. The

balding family are all high, including Clare Balding - she is

shaking with excitement! Andrew will be able to go around Europe,

Ireland and have a lot of fun with invested a small fortune. Just

hearing that Kissed is out of The Oaks. Aidan O'Brien has walked the

course and has decided that Kissed will not take her chance. He is

down to five runners. Kissed is a non-runner. That is after Aden and

his family walked the course. One to keep an eye on tonight is one of

the horses at Pontefract, the 7.35. Rishi is down in the paddock now.

I've got Jimmy Fortune with me. I thought Worthadd was getting away

from you. I thought you showed great guts to stick it out. I run a

bit keen early on. No fault of the horse. The horse ahead was running

Keane and kept setting the alight. I wanted to hang on and not get

there too early, because he used up a fair bit of energy before that.

Were you aware of Dance And Dance coming on the outside as well?

Well done. I'm going to try and grab a word with the winning

trainer. If I could just disturb Andrew for a moment. I've been told

by the boss of the show, Claire, your sister, to have a word with

you. He had a big task gone against Worthadd on the official figures,

but he has shown real guts and determination in the closing stages

today. He is a talented horse on his day. He did plenty wrong today

on the track, I thought, but he managed to get away with it. And it

is a brace the family have won before, Passing Glance. Yes, a very

underrated stallion. He is the best probably. He didn't get the

greatest mares to cover and his done very well. Will we see Side

Glance at the Royal meeting? would have thought so. We are

discussing it now. It's lovely to have a winner today. I think we

will run in the Queen Anne. Someone has to finish second or third.

Things are looking up after a Lay Dance And Dance at 5-1. Mac Love

was third at 25-1. For the punter who had �40,000 on Worthadd,

there's only one word - ouch! We've heard all about the winner.

Let's have a look at a couple of horses who got beat in this.

Worthadd, you see him there with the noseband. St Moritz in the

purple and pink jacket. He'd run very well by getting a soft lead in

this race 12 months ago. Obviously, Adrian Nichols wanted exactly the

same thing. He starts slowly but to get them up there. He has got into

a decent enough position. Mirco Demuro is sitting behind him. I

think Jimmy Fortune would have been delighted with the break he got.

Both he in the yellow jacket and Worthadd, in the pink and green

jacket, just moving through to second place. He did Tank a long,

this horse, with the noseband. That was the start of the race. Let's go

to the closing stages. Here is Worthadd with the noseband and then

the eventual winner in behind him. I got the impression that the

ground, which is perhaps a bit faster than Worthadd normally has

won on, was his undoing to date. Looking at it, you can see where

Mirco Demuro is sitting in and asking him to lend them here. But

there is no real response. Maybe that is just down to the fact that

there's not enough juice in the ground for him. The ground is just

that little bit quicker, it doesn't suit them all. But it certainly

suited Jimmy Fortune's course. If he is grabbing the ground. Dance

And Dance in the blue-and-white, one from the left. Coming into

second position. A good run from Side Glance. The trainer is saying

he's after Royal Ascot, the first race of the meeting. But I would

give Worthadd another chance when he is on softer ground. Without a

shadow of a doubt. Don't ride off the Oaks. Kissed is out. The Aidan

O'Brien team is down to five and Toptempo doesn't run.

So, it's been a fabulous day so far. I think the crowds have turned out

in full force for Ladies Day. Let's take you through the story of the

day. The best thing about coming racing

is the chance to relax, enjoy yourself. Andrew Lloyd Webber here

with his wife. Sheikh Mohammed here and in between people backing

winners and cheering home winners. Clinical took the first. And those

who collected at 7-1 were laughing. Thrilling finish for the second

race. William Buick coming from second last on Gatewood, the

favourite, to snatch the race a couple of strides before the line.

He looks a very, very promising and capable horse. Those who have

studied the form were all on Worthadd for the Diomed stakes. But

Side Glance came through to win the race for Andrew Balding and Jimmy

Fortune and for the Sheikh who bought the horse last year. So far,

two teams that we know will be together tomorrow for the Derby,

William Buick and George and onGosden and Andrew Balding and

Jimmy, Bonfire. It keeps the confidence here. We could see Aidan

O'Brien win The Oaks. It's always nice to get a winner just before

the big event, because it just helps your confidence and that's

why we talk about Frankie Dettori and his confidence. Everybody is

exactly the same. Big cheer rang out as Andrew Balding went forward

to accept the award. Jimmy Fortune coming forward, as

well. So Ryan Moore, who lines up

tomorrow in the Derby as the only jockey who's won it before, no

longer has a ride in The Oaks. Kissed is out. He will watch from

the sidelines., but so will plenty of people. He rides Dunn'o in the

next. 232 years of Derby history and never in all of that time have

a father and son combined to win the Derby. It could happen tomorrow.

The odds-on favourite is named after a mythical kingdom, he is

ridden by Joseph O'Brien, who is only 19, for his father Aidan.

Could Camelot write his equine name into legend?

There's been a lot of history with Bally boil and Derby -- Ballydoyle

and big race winners on the flat. You need a very balanced horse.

Camelot does both of those things. He always does his work very easy,

he is relaxed and lovely slick mover.

Plenty of pressure and high expectations for the horse. Every

jockey anywhere in the world, all they want to do is to ride a

favourite in the Derby and to win the Derby. You always look like -

he looks like a Derby horse. And Camelot has the chance to do

what no colt has done since 1970, and no horse has done since 1985,

if you look at the list of the five classics, and see of the three-

year-olds only, all of the horses only get one shot at this. But if

you win the 2000 Guineas, the Derby and St Leger or oaks and St Leger

you complete the triple Crown and that's an elusive prize and it may

be the ultimate target for calm rot. No -- Camelot. No colt has done it

since 1970. You see the different you have speed to win the Guineas,

and you need speed, balance and brilliance to win the Derby. Of

course, you need the stamina to win the St Leger and it looks as though

we have just might have a horse this year in Camelot to go and do

all three. Of course, we are saying all three. He hasn't won the second

one yet! But he is odds on to do so. He does look as though he might be

one of the horses that will go and try for the triple Crown. It would

be very, very nice for the whole of racing to see that happen. It's not

so good for the horse himself, but... In terms of his stallion

volume? -- value? People don't regard a horse who reupbs the St --

wins a St Leger, they usually go on to be... It would be very, very

nice for it to be done. Incidentally, this could nearly

happen in America because we have the horse I Will Have Another who

has won two and in a couple of weeks he might be going for the

triple Crown. It happens in America more frequently than here.

hasn't happened since Affirmed in America. They get closer, though.

They've been - there have been a lot winning two. Does Camelot seem

to you to have all the hallmarks? Is he a worthy odds-on favourite.

Of course he is. We have had a few get beaten. He might not stay. But

it's interesting. Let's look at the facts. As a two-year-old brilliant.

He won over a mile, he became champion two-year-old. He was the

best, highest rated two-year-old. There tough. He comes out and he

doesn't have a race for the Guineas. He didn't get the best of rides in

the Guineas and still won it. He got a lot to do. Ground was soft.

He was asked to do a lot. That was a good performance to come from

where he did to win the Guineas, that was a very good performance. I

did watch him after the finish and after the finish he went further

and further and further away. Couldn't pull him up. No. 2 hundred

yards after the -- 200 yards after the winning post he was clear of

the field, that told me tomorrow's mile and a half is not a problem.

Let's put into context what a short price favourite he is and how odds-

on favourites have done over the years. John is in the betting ring

and a lot of everyday punters are not going to fancy backing him at

the price he is. No, they're not and we look at the

caption here, we have noticed over the years there's been - the four

odds-on shots in the last few years that have run here, three of them

Racing Post here with me. What a truffle track, very strange --

wonderful track. Everyone ought to walk it because it's completely

different. This hill up the back strait is much steeper than

Cheltenham. The camber running from the top end to the bottom, up the

strait, is much more severe than anywhere else on a flat track or

jumping track. You don't get that. If a horse is to be racing flat up

the strait they're going to roll down. Very hard test for any

thoroughbred. Don't ever pretend it's going to be just a simple

thing for Camelot to pass. You have been here for a few of these, were

you here for 1953? With a little flag at Tattenham Corner. My

memories are bathed in sunlight, I was actually in the mall at the

corn Coronation on the Tuesday. It was sunshine here. The Queen came

out on the track. You think she is waving at you. We waited and no

commentary or anything and then the horses came flashing past. The

Queen's colours were on the outside. That evening we thought she's bound

to win it sometime and she still hasn't. Has it changed much here?

Enormously and Britain's changed. Everything's changed. But what's

interesting and it's a tribute to broadcasters amongst everything

else, it's very alive still. This is a very alive scene. I was here

times when it was beginning to die on its feet. The reason it stopped

being on a Wednesday it was dying on its feet. I think it's very

alive now. Race something alive, too. People should remember that.

Going back to this year's race, we mentioned the odds-on shot. Camelot

looks like he is going to go odds- on. What is your view on him?

Smashing horse, hugely impressive in the Racing Post trophy. Won the

Guineas, but he's been backed as if he had done what Sir Ivor or

Nijinsky did. He just got home in the Guineas and so he may well win

but he has to prove it to me. do you fancy then? A shot on

Bonfire. If Bonfire wins we will need a big box of tissues for

Claire, she won't stop crying. will do my best. The extraordinary

thing is Bonfire and Camelot were reared in the same paddock at

Highclere stud. This is the overview from the helicopter. Also

there at the same time were Vow, Power, and Minimise Risk. If you

zoom along the valley, that's Kingsclere and that's where Bonfire

is trained and goes out on the gallops there, usually accompanied

by somebody leading him because he can be difficult. He's caused a lot

of thought for his trainer but these are the views of his jockey

and what he is like on race day. I'd be worried if he was a horse

that got to the start and he was shaking and worrying. He worries

about nothing. He's as - he is just a monkey and that's - he is like a

teenager. Wants to do the opposite of what you want. But as far as his

temperament is concerned in a race he doesn't worry about anything.

That's the main thing. And the spooky thing is that at the

pub on the wishing well where they write the name of the horse they

think will win the Derby they have written Bonfire and they've been

right in eight of the last 13 years! Don't get excited, Claire.

Derby! You got to get excited about something. What you want it in, you

want Bonfire written in stone. know. Only when it counts, written

in chalk it doesn't count. Many women here have turned up looking

as fine as they possibly can because there's a fabulous

competition for Ladies Day and great prize to be won.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final of the What Best To Wear

fashion competition. We have had photographers and stylists scouting

the downs all day looking for the best-dressed. They had a shortlist

of 20 and it's down to three. I would like to introduce you to

three lovely ladies. On the right we have Susan Baxter from

Manchester, who's decided to go mostly vintage today.

In the middle Lisa Tan who lives in London, but is originally from

Australia. And on the left we have Lea Bowman

from Orange County in California. She's studying English at Oxford

University. We are going to reveal the winner in a moment. First, I

would like to introduce to you two of our judges for the competition

today. Official jeweller of the Derby, TheO Fennell and official

face, model and writer Laura Bailey. What were you looking for today?

Elegant and chic and someone who stands out in a special way. Was it

difficult? Difficult, but in a good way, spoilt for choice. Theo, not

only are you a judge but you provided the first prize today, you

designed a special necklace. Open the box. It has 60 diamonds. Tell

us about it. It's 60 diamonds for each year of the Queen's Reign and

at the back a horseshoe from the winners' enclosure here at Epsom. I

am worried I thought thought I was the face of Investec! No. That's

just what we told to you get you here. Fantastic prize. I do love

the horseshoe at the back. Made from wood from this winners'

enclosure. But it's time to announce the winner. I will let you

stage and collect your prize and say a few words. Congratulations.

I'm going to ask you about your outfit. What was the inspiration,

what was the thought behind it? Sorry, what was the question?

understand to being overwhelmed! Talk us through what was the

inspiration behind your outfit. pieces I had in my wardrobe already,

pieces I had in my wardrobe already, which was really lucky. I'm a

milliner myself, so why had the hat. I wanted to wear the hat with

something fun, and still really elegant. It all came together. I

was going to wear something different last night but my

boyfriend said I should go for the about it. I have to pay him banks

as well for this. Con Vajdic relations. Ladies and gentlemen,

can we have another round of Shirocco Star. Let's continue our

Diamond Jubilee theme of the Queen and her passion for racing. Very

much so. I and the question being, what is it like not just to ride

for the Queen but to ride a winner for Her Majesty. Dick Hern trained

her Classic winners. Dunfermline is the winner. I think probably the

Queen winning in France with high clear was the best moment of her

racing life of. She was a very good filly. We won the 1000 Guineas at

Newmarket. She is the winner. decided to go to France. Sunday,

16th June, 1974. The French gave Her Majesty such a welcome.

Everything went to plan in the paddock. The filly duly obliged. It

won most comfortably. Joe Mercer made it a day that the royal party

will never forget. Her Majesty was over the moon. Over the course of

the day she disappeared and we stayed behind and had a few bottles

of champagne. Then we went to board our private aircraft, but the

captain had a call on the radio to say that we were invited to have

dinner with Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle. There was a bit

of a commotion, Dick said, I've got nothing to wear, I've been in these

clothes since 6am! Then the message came, come as you are. We were

picked up by the Royal cars, taken to Windsor Castle. We have the most

wonderful dinner party with Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal

Family. That was, for me, the most has ridden a Classic winner for the

Queen, you did it here in The Oaks. Yes, 1977. Silver jubilee. A dream

come true. Basically because, well, it was my first year with Major

Dick Hern and Dunfermline. Here we are, Jubilee week, and we win the

Epsom -- Epsom Oaks. It's basically a dream come true for all of us. I

don't know how we did it but it happened. It says a lot for the

Queen's respect for jockeys and her interest in jockeys that every year,

whoever wins the Derby, the winning jockey goes up to the Royal Box

because the Queen wants to talk to him or her, could be this year.

for The Oaks as well. She's not here. She's got quite a busy

weekend. Normally she could be here for The Oaks and we go up. She

always likes... The winning connections are always presented to

her in the Royal Box after the race. This time in an hour, we will know

absolutely what has won the invest -- Investec Oaks this year. It

could be one of Aidan O'Brien's five in the race. It could be

anything, but we have a race to go before we get to The Oaks. Let's

7-1. Hayler night and Boogie Shoes are the horses for money. --

Highland Knight. This is Boogie Shoes cantering down

to the start in slow motion. You can see the length of the stride

and how he covers the ground. A beautiful action he has got, and

also the balance of the jockey on board. Boogie Shoes has a pretty

decent chance of winning this. ran a second last time. This is the

sort of race, it's a nice surprise, it's a nice race to win, but a lot

of horses here today will be having a Hunt Cup in three weeks' time in

the back up their minds. This will be a prep race for the Hunt Cup.

But Boogie Shoes, quite a lot of the horses who run here today, at

Newmarket last time. Obviously drawn in stall two, which is a very

good draw. If you are drawn wide on the outside here, basically you

cannot win. And he has one-third here at Epsom last year. Let's have

a look at Highland Knight. There's been quite a lot of money for this

horse. He's been back in from 14-1, now 13-2. Running in the second

colours, the first colours are carried by Norse Blues. I suspect

some of the money coming because Andrew Balding has already had a

winner this afternoon. You should know all about the money! He's

definitely got a good each-way chance. I think people have seen

that at 14-1 and thought they will have a bit of that. The owner

thinks Norse Blues might be his best chance. That is true in terms

of the colours. They are drawn next to one another. They'll be easy

enough to watch. On Highland Knight, in terms of the family, he finished

second in this race last year. The family thing, Passing Glance has

won, Side Glance today, maybe Highland Knight can make up for

finishing second to Dance And Dance in this last year and winner today.

Moon's my name, Jim Crowley riding riding now for his boss.

trainer wants a good clip in this race, he wants him to go far.

Blues won the Lincoln consolation race. Big shock, he was about 50-1.

Yes. He is a horse, I would say he's got to run quite a big race

here. You can see that cross noseband on there, just to keep his

mouth closed. It gives the jockey a better chance with the bit in his

John Gosden. His horses are in really good form. This horse,

obviously he has drawn 12. It gives them a lot to do. He tends to start

very slowly in his races. He is a horse that comes from behind. Here

at Epsom, sometimes it's not an easy thing to do. It looks like

forward to the Derby tomorrow. They Red cap. Boogie Shoes on the inside.

100 yards left to go. Highland night in front with Mawaakef. He is

just going to get there. Moquette was second. Unex El Greco finished

fast with Diere Na Sli. They are followed by Norse Blues and

Starwatch behind them. Further back in the field is Forceful Appeal for

Starwatch. Number 13 his Forceful Appeal. Then Prince Jock and Kay

performance from Highland Knight. As Claire was saying beforehand,

certainly has the bloodlines to make an impression here at Epsom

probably made you think it was the second choice, but they were both

going on tour Hyland night, you would now have �42.50 pence in your

hand. There is Jeff at Smith, the winning owner. How much did you

get? I didn't have a penny on it. A brilliant ride from David Probert,

who is one of the most improved jockeys. He gets rides for other

trainers but not many high-class horses. I thought he did

brilliantly there. You were sitting, he's going too fast. He wasn't!

turned out that way. But at the time, the way he had that whole

field strung out like that, I thought, how can he keep going?

he gave the horse a breather coming down the hill. The horse that ran

second was always up there. He had a very good draw. The two of them...

Nothing came from behind. You were saying to me, something is going to

come and colour them up. Something happened, we didn't actually see.

He that might have helped. Look how the field is stretched out. It's

not very often you see them that far apart from the leader in a mile

race like that. They have gone a searching gallop. The horse in the

red with the white cap is saying he's had enough of. Your horse,

he's kept going, David has kept him sticking to the right hand. Really

gutsy here. Hanging on to the rail. Mawaakef comes to challenge and

Highland Knight just keeps pulling out a bit more. He was second last

year in this race to Dance And Dance, Highland Knight. Good old

hyaline night, really toughs it out in the closing stages. David

Probert really keeps him moving forward. He always just shades

Mawaakef. Mawaakef ran a great race. He ran at Newmarket last time and

was in amongst some of these other horses, way behind on the day. His

draw helped him, of course. mentioned to Freddie Tyler Key, who

was riding Mawaakef, a good example of another young jockey who has

stepped up from the apprentice coming through. There, we had

horses going a very fast gallop and were not being caught. The last

race, it was the opposite. So we don't know where we are at. Let's

hear from the winning jockey. First of all, a good performance

from your horse this afternoon. Last time, he was disappointing.

Was that down to the ground? Yes, it was soft at Newbury. He likes to

jump out and enjoy himself. He has done it well today. He's knuckled

down. It's a good atmosphere out there, isn't it? There is.

Especially the last two furlongs, you know, you get a right buzz.

It's a great day. Well done. I will grab a word with the trainer,

Andrew Balding. I think two interviews ago you were bemoaning

your luck today. What do you know?! Nothing. The three of them worked

together ten days ago and she was giving them all both Side Glance

and him weight. She finished half a length up. You would have thought

she was the obvious one. It can be misleading. The ground at Newbury

last time would have been against him, and he enjoyed conditions

today? I think he is better on a turning track as well. That is a

factor. This was always, after he got beat at Newbury, this was the

aim to come here. Delighted. His dam was second in the race. He was

second in it last year. He is all heart. Well done, so far. Hopefully,

there is more coming your way. hope so. Thanks.

In the Hunt Cup, Highland Knight has 8 stone 11 but having won today

he will pick up a five-pound penalty. That will take his weight

to 9 stone 2. Highland Knight, a good, strong, resolute gap lopper.
