Day 2, Part 1

:00:11. > :00:15.Ascot bedecked this year in red, white and blue in honour of the

:00:15. > :00:18.Diamond Jubilee and we could all be singing to the rafters today if

:00:18. > :00:26.Carlton House is successful in the Prince of Wales Stakes. Our feature

:00:26. > :00:36.race and it's a Group 1. It could give the Queen her first Group 1

:00:36. > :01:15.

:01:15. > :01:19.winner since 1947. It would be And the second day of Royal Ascot

:01:19. > :01:23.is bathed in glorious sunshine, thousands enjoying picnics on the

:01:23. > :01:26.front lawn in front of that magnificent Grandstand and

:01:27. > :01:30.gradually the crowds will get deeper and bigger, especially here

:01:30. > :01:37.around the paddock, because this is where the Royal Procession will

:01:37. > :01:40.finish after its come down the racecourse.Ed crowd yesterday was

:01:40. > :01:45.46,100, that's 6% more than last year. Ascot thrilled with the

:01:45. > :01:49.appeal of this meeting. And with the general feel of it, very

:01:49. > :01:53.relaxed as well, over on the Ascot Heathside. You can get there as

:01:53. > :01:56.early as you like and that's a smart picnic and everybody enjoying

:01:56. > :02:00.themselves. Inside the building, which it may well be needed

:02:01. > :02:06.tomorrow when the rain is due to arrive, you can see this vast space,

:02:06. > :02:09.and the Union Jack Flags everywhere, decorating the course and in

:02:09. > :02:13.keeping with the Diamond Jubilee. This really is an extraordinary

:02:13. > :02:16.meeting and it's been kicked off in sensational style by Frankel's win

:02:16. > :02:19.yesterday. Everybody still talking about it, trying to assess it

:02:19. > :02:23.saying is it the best thing we have ever seen? Certainly at the Royal

:02:23. > :02:28.meeting nobody can remember a horse being that dominant in a Group 1

:02:28. > :02:33.race, better even than Dubai Millennium and he was special. This

:02:33. > :02:41.meeting continues to grow in appeal around the world and it really is a

:02:41. > :02:45.magnetic force for professionals, party-goers and punters alike.

:02:45. > :02:49.This is Ascot, it is a glorious setting, the most impressive

:02:49. > :02:53.grandstand in in Europe. It's where everybody wants to be. A great

:02:53. > :02:59.spectacle. The whole experience is amazing. Royal Ascot is the

:02:59. > :03:03.Olympics of horse racing. Everybody wants to be here. I don't think

:03:03. > :03:08.there is any other meeting so important. It's where they come

:03:08. > :03:17.from Australia, America and it's the epitome of horse racing. It's

:03:17. > :03:22.racing in a pure form. It would mean everything to win a Group 1 on

:03:22. > :03:26.home soil at Ascot. There is nothing matches anywhere in the

:03:26. > :03:30.world, incredible. It's one of the best tracks in the world. We have

:03:30. > :03:33.the most marvellous's day's racing you will ever see in your whole

:03:33. > :03:37.life. And these are the guys who have the

:03:37. > :03:40.pressure on their shoulders, Frankie Dettori and Gerard Mosse

:03:40. > :03:50.kissing in European style. They'll be up against each other in the

:03:50. > :03:52.

:03:52. > :03:59.Prince of Wales. Joseph O'Brien will be hoping emdock home on front,

:03:59. > :04:02.-- will be hoping he can come home in front.

:04:02. > :04:10.Michael Barzalona, the 19-year-old who won the Derby last year, he is

:04:10. > :04:14.20 now. He has good chances does, as does Ryan Moore.

:04:14. > :04:18.Tom Queally, well he's done his work. He can look at the Racing

:04:18. > :04:22.Post and say yeah, I was on bored that horse and he was incredible.

:04:22. > :04:26.He has some engine, Frankel and something of a Formula One theme to

:04:26. > :04:30.some of our guests. Jackie Stewart is here, three-times world champion

:04:30. > :04:33.and also the BBC's Eddie Jordan has arrived and I am sure both will be

:04:33. > :04:36.supporting general son put whopb makes the presentation -- Jenson

:04:36. > :04:40.Button who makes the presentation for the first race. Peter Jones, we

:04:40. > :04:45.will be talking to him later, a keen businessman, obviously, that's

:04:45. > :04:49.why he is on Dragons' Den and Aidan O'Brien on top of his business,

:04:49. > :04:54.training Group 1 winners and his first of the week could come today.

:04:54. > :04:59.There with the chief executive. My partner in crime, as always is

:04:59. > :05:03.Willie Carson. Partner in crime? teammate, my pal. You have been

:05:03. > :05:08.walking the course. I have been on the course, yes, doing a little bit

:05:08. > :05:13.of filming for us later. Well, tomorrow, in fact. Is it warm out

:05:13. > :05:18.there? My back is very, very hot at the moment. I can feel a little

:05:18. > :05:23.drips coming down the side of my face here. How lovely! Would you

:05:23. > :05:26.like me to get a cold flannel on the back of your neck? That would

:05:26. > :05:30.be lovely. I will sort that out. The Prince of Wales Stakes has

:05:30. > :05:35.really interesting elements to it, this big Australian horse So You

:05:35. > :05:40.Think. Superstar. Based here for more than a year. Yes, 18 months

:05:40. > :05:45.ago he came over to Ireland and he came with a reputation nearly as

:05:45. > :05:51.big as Black Caviar. Of course, he won quite a few races. He's been

:05:51. > :05:57.travelled around the world. He's been to Meydan, the Breeders Cup,

:05:57. > :06:02.unfortunately he got beat there and was second at Meydan but he is a

:06:02. > :06:06.very, very good horse. Of course, we have Her Majesty's horse, we are

:06:06. > :06:13.all hoping she can have a Royal winner, but the Irish colt is going

:06:13. > :06:16.to be some big sort of statue to knock over. He is a huge horse.

:06:16. > :06:22.Physically imposing. He is, yes. He is a very big horse. We have seen

:06:23. > :06:26.him here before in England. He's left us all with a very good

:06:26. > :06:30.impression. I would think that he is going to win it again. Carlton

:06:30. > :06:34.House, if he does win today he's going to put up the best

:06:34. > :06:39.performance of his whole career. Could be done. This is the place to

:06:39. > :06:43.produce your best. We will be on air with you on BBC1 and BBC2 until

:06:43. > :06:53.5.15pm and whenever anybody feels like stopping talking on BBC

:06:53. > :06:55.

:06:55. > :06:59.interactive. This is what we have Racing fans are still abuzz about

:06:59. > :07:03.Frankel's tkepl hraeugs job -- demolition job in the kwaoepb Anne

:07:03. > :07:09.-- Queen Anne yesterday. Is he the best we have ever seen? We continue

:07:09. > :07:13.our trips behind the scenes by going to Newmarket to the yard of

:07:13. > :07:17.Marco Botti looking for a Royal Ascot winner, it could be Planteur.

:07:17. > :07:25.A huge amount of work goes into getting a horse to the races. We

:07:25. > :07:29.will spend a day in the life of a travelling head lad.

:07:29. > :07:34.And what about the fastest filly on the planet. We look ahead to Black

:07:34. > :07:41.Caviar's challenge in the Diamond Jubilee on Saturday. Us a are

:07:41. > :07:44.hoping. -- Australia are hoping. Royal Ascot has substance aplenty

:07:44. > :07:50.with the quality of the racing, but it also has style. We will be

:07:50. > :08:00.bringing you the very best in the fashion stakes.

:08:00. > :08:07.

:08:07. > :08:10.These are our live races today on The big race of the day, it's the

:08:10. > :08:14.150th anniversary of it, the Prince of Wales Stakes over a mile and a

:08:14. > :08:24.quarter. That features the the Queen's

:08:24. > :08:26.

:08:26. > :08:29.Carlton House, Planteur and the We switch to interactive for the

:08:29. > :08:33.final race of the day. I will mention one jockey who could

:08:33. > :08:43.have a sensational day, and that's Johnnie Murtagh, he has three good

:08:43. > :08:55.

:08:55. > :08:59.chances of winners. Going through Only one of those is because of the

:08:59. > :09:03.ground, it's drying up out there with this beating down sunshine.

:09:03. > :09:07.Rishi is on the course. The weather is set to change tomorrow, we fear.

:09:07. > :09:10.Yes, just before I talk about the ground, a word about the weather.

:09:10. > :09:16.Glorious today but the weather forecast for the next 24 hours not

:09:16. > :09:20.so good. What we have forecast is rain, from 3.00am until 9.00am

:09:20. > :09:25.tomorrow morning and heavy rain, perhaps up to 24 milimetres. Then

:09:25. > :09:29.it goes dry, then the forecast for tomorrow afternoon, which is is

:09:29. > :09:32.Gold Cup day, is sunshine and showers, not good news for people

:09:32. > :09:36.coming to racing tomorrow but it's great today. It's also been dry for

:09:36. > :09:42.the last 24 hours and the official going around the course now is good.

:09:42. > :09:45.Normally the straight course, where one of the trickiest races is run,

:09:45. > :09:49.normally it's quicker on this course than the round course but

:09:49. > :09:52.the round course has caught up with the rest of the course and it's dry

:09:52. > :09:56.all round. So good news, it's a level playing field for all the

:09:56. > :10:00.runners. There are a few technical problems

:10:00. > :10:04.yesterday with sectional times which meant we can't go into as

:10:04. > :10:11.much detail as we wanted. A correction issued on the top speed

:10:11. > :10:19.Frankel reached. He got up to 42.53mph. It was incorrectly stated

:10:19. > :10:24.as 49. 42.5mph. Extraordinary. He keeps that up. He is an

:10:24. > :10:28.extraordinary horse. He ran on the slowest ground yesterday because it

:10:28. > :10:34.was spongy to begin with and as the day went on with the sun and a

:10:34. > :10:38.little bit of wind the ground got quicker and his time was the

:10:38. > :10:44.quickest time of the whole day and he ran on the slowest ground. He

:10:44. > :10:49.was only half a second off beating the track record. Just shows what

:10:49. > :10:52.an incredible horse he is. We will be back here on October 20th for

:10:52. > :10:57.the culmination of the British champion series, Frankel bound to

:10:57. > :11:01.be the outstanding horse of that. We could see something similarly

:11:01. > :11:06.stunning then. We had Henry here and he wouldn't be pushed into

:11:06. > :11:10.making any plans. He let everybody else talk about the horse but he

:11:10. > :11:16.wasn't going to let on what is going to happen. We all think that

:11:16. > :11:20.he will turn up for the Juddmonte Stakes, we all think that but it

:11:20. > :11:23.hasn't been confirmed. And it won't be until we know exactly how it is,

:11:23. > :11:29.we will see Henry today and find out how Frankel is the day after.

:11:30. > :11:33.As for the race-goers here, they get here very early and get their

:11:33. > :11:39.spots sorted and what would have thought the most popular picnic

:11:39. > :11:42.spot in Europe would be a car park, but that's where we find Suzi Perry.

:11:43. > :11:47.This is the hottest lunch ticket, not only at Royal Ascot but the UK

:11:47. > :11:49.and the reason is that you can not buy a car parking space here. They

:11:49. > :11:54.get handed down from generation to generation.

:11:54. > :12:00.As you can see, they have the most spectacular picnics, really

:12:00. > :12:05.beautiful. We are not talking sausage rolls, we are talking top-

:12:05. > :12:14.class champagne and caviar. Brian, heading the table, what have hu for

:12:14. > :12:19.lunch? Nice beef and a salad. With beetroot. I love beetroot. Tell me

:12:19. > :12:23.how many years have you been coming here? Well, over 50. And how

:12:23. > :12:27.special is it to have lunch here before you go off for racing?

:12:27. > :12:33.it's very special. I mean, this is what number one car park is all

:12:33. > :12:38.about. Lucky enough to have my space, my two sons now have spaces.

:12:38. > :12:43.We are all very close together. Works very well. Perfect family

:12:43. > :12:47.dining. The rest of the family are over the road. Young son appears to

:12:47. > :12:51.be over there. I am here with the older son. We have the better wine

:12:51. > :12:55.this side! Definitely the better wine this

:12:55. > :12:59.side. Lovely. Have a wonderful day racing. I will be covering

:12:59. > :13:02.everything around the racing. Can't wait to see Black Caviar, can you?

:13:02. > :13:08.Absolutely. Good job we are here all week. Absolutely. Frankel

:13:08. > :13:14.yesterday. How magical was that? Unbelievable. Brought a tear to the

:13:14. > :13:20.eye. When he had raced he was like a fresh horse. Absolutely superb.

:13:20. > :13:24.Total superstar. Hopefully more stars today. Absolutely. Thank you.

:13:24. > :13:29.I am here in the betting jungle, joined by Mick Fitzgerald and the

:13:29. > :13:33.band is playing. What did you make of yesterday, Frankel was

:13:33. > :13:36.magnificent. Words probably can't describe the performance he put up.

:13:36. > :13:41.I just feel privileged that I was here to see it. He was fantastic.

:13:41. > :13:48.The reason we have you here today, people at home waiting for

:13:48. > :13:55.selections and tips. I - in the first race, William Haggas, Johnnie

:13:55. > :14:02.Murtagh, great team. Gone for Sentaril. Don't know how good this

:14:02. > :14:08.could be. Second race, gone for Nahrain.

:14:08. > :14:12.saw Pat Smullins this morning. I am a fan of the trainer. First time

:14:12. > :14:22.out for the season but I am not worried. The The Prince of Wales

:14:22. > :14:27.

:14:27. > :14:31.Stakes s that eachway bet for Mabait, ran well at Chester last

:14:31. > :14:36.time. I watched it, it was eye- catching. Very good trainer. This

:14:36. > :14:45.horse is rated higher than this in the past and for me he is a live

:14:45. > :14:55.chance. Mironica in the Queen Mary. Great team. This horse won at Nase.

:14:55. > :14:57.

:14:57. > :15:07.I am not not worried. Electrelane. I hate to say this,

:15:07. > :15:08.

:15:08. > :15:12.but what happens if these get beat? Always dangerous to have such a

:15:12. > :15:18.firm fancy. Join me to discuss the Royal Procession, which will be

:15:18. > :15:24.coming through shortly is Dr Kate Williams. Is this your first time?

:15:24. > :15:29.It is my first time. The last time I wore a hat was when I was in the

:15:29. > :15:33.Brownies. It is so good to be here on such a great day. A marvellous

:15:33. > :15:37.day for the Queen as well. important has it been for the

:15:37. > :15:44.monarch to be seen by so many? Is the Royal Procession more than just

:15:44. > :15:50.an events for us to enjoy? Does it have an historical context?

:15:50. > :15:55.Royal Procession is so important, to know the monarch, to see her.

:15:55. > :15:58.The Tudor monarchs would do it by river, on the Thames. Now

:15:58. > :16:05.increasingly it is important to travel around the country. Queen

:16:05. > :16:09.Victoria was vital. But the Ascot procession was begun by George IV.

:16:09. > :16:15.He was our naughty King and he wanted lots of fun with his

:16:15. > :16:19.mistresses and chums, not his wife, in the procession. The idea of

:16:19. > :16:25.royal patronage and royal example was what he was saying. He was a

:16:25. > :16:32.great fashion leader. George IV was also the first one to invent the

:16:32. > :16:37.Royal Enclosure wasn't he? Yes, and his best Khumbu Brummel it was one

:16:37. > :16:41.who instigated the royal dress code. He was a trendsetter, a style

:16:41. > :16:47.leader, incredibly important in the creation of an aristocratic

:16:47. > :16:52.fashionable society, which lives on today. And in this year of all

:16:52. > :16:56.years the iconography of the monarchy and Queen Elizabeth II has

:16:56. > :17:06.been all the more prominent during this summer and the Diamond Jubilee

:17:06. > :17:08.

:17:08. > :17:13.celebrations. It is -- She speaks rarely. We have short speeches. The

:17:13. > :17:16.first time she did a speech was in 1940, when she broadcast to the

:17:16. > :17:20.children of America. She was talking of the hardships of war, so

:17:20. > :17:26.we are not really used to hearing the Queen. That's one of the great

:17:26. > :17:30.skill of the Queen is that she simply is so incredibly politically

:17:31. > :17:35.neutral and subtle. She doesn't impose herself on our lives.

:17:35. > :17:37.here the magnificent sight of the here the magnificent sight of the

:17:37. > :17:41.Royal Procession, the Windsor greys leading and drawing the first

:17:41. > :17:46.charge, which contains Her Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness the

:17:46. > :17:51.Duke of Edinburgh, Lord Valentine Cecil, who is the fourth son of the

:17:51. > :17:55.sixth Marquess of Salisbury. Served as a major in the British armed

:17:55. > :18:00.forces, worked in NATO and the Ministry of Defence, and also Lord

:18:00. > :18:06.Irwin, who appeared in the Royal Procession yesterday, with his wife,

:18:06. > :18:12.Georgia, and today Lord Irwin is in the first carriage. The Queen is

:18:12. > :18:17.looking marvellous. She is wearing a pink and silk wool-mix dress,

:18:17. > :18:21.with a matching hat. She looks marvellous, like she could be a

:18:21. > :18:26.strawberry ice cream. Lord Irwin is the one in the grey top hat and

:18:26. > :18:31.Lord Valentine Cecil is closer to us in the black top hat. It is so

:18:31. > :18:36.wonderful to see the Duke of Edinburgh. He's been out of action

:18:36. > :18:42.since his bladder infection. So good to see him by her side.

:18:42. > :18:45.They've been married 64 years. It is incredible to see him there, the

:18:45. > :18:52.longest-serving consort, back in action to see the racing once more,

:18:52. > :18:58.and perhaps to win today. second carriage we have Lady Ogilvy,

:18:58. > :19:07.and air marshal Sir David Walker. The deputy chairman of the

:19:07. > :19:10.Australian racing board. The stud stands a very good stallion in

:19:10. > :19:13.Redout Choice. Australian guests at Windsor castling. The Queen is

:19:13. > :19:20.ensuring that the message of the Diamond Jubilee is spread all

:19:20. > :19:25.around the Commonwealth. If she can't go there she makes sure...

:19:26. > :19:32.Sense somebody else? No, I think the Prince of Wales and the Duchess

:19:32. > :19:37.of Cornwall are going to Australia later this year. She is our most

:19:37. > :19:45.travelled monarch. In the third carriage is Lord Vestey. Opposite

:19:45. > :19:48.him is Lady Vestey, and Mr and Mrs Tony Beddeson. He is very involved

:19:48. > :19:54.with the Melbourne Children's Hospital. When the Queen last

:19:54. > :19:58.visited Australia he took her around that hospital, and there's a

:19:58. > :20:03.rather nice photograph of them in the meerkat enclosure. A gorgeous

:20:03. > :20:08.day to be in the procession. A slight breeze, so not too warm.

:20:08. > :20:18.Bright sunshine. The grandeur of the procession was about showing

:20:18. > :20:26.off the monarchs. Nscly these days monarchs don't exist --

:20:26. > :20:33.increasingly these days monarchs don't exist until you see them.

:20:33. > :20:43.Simon Brookes-Ward put on the royal pageant and the Olympia horse show.

:20:43. > :20:52.

:20:52. > :20:56.You can see the haze there. looks pretty hot. But you can never

:20:56. > :21:01.show heat if you are the Queen. You are never hot or cold, unlike the

:21:01. > :21:05.rest of us. You have always to survive. Do you think in the time

:21:05. > :21:10.of George IV was the procession the same link as this - four carriages,

:21:10. > :21:15.or more? It could be sometimes longer, as they were so much more

:21:15. > :21:19.used to travelling by carriage than we were. George IV was grand, our

:21:19. > :21:25.most pompous and excessive Queenment Queen Victoria after him

:21:25. > :21:29.tried to remodel herself as more modest. It is a Royal Procession,

:21:29. > :21:33.beginning first of all with Queen Anne, who began Ascot in 1711. The

:21:33. > :21:37.first race is as a consequence of her being so close and close in

:21:38. > :21:42.Windsor. I think it is particularly fitting today that the horse we are

:21:42. > :21:47.all hoping for, Carlton House, was named after George IV's Palace,

:21:47. > :21:53.which is our great lost Palace. George IV created it when he turned

:21:54. > :21:58.21 and came into the large sum of about �5 million a year. That was

:21:58. > :22:02.his yearly sum. But that wasn't enough. He needed more cash and he

:22:02. > :22:12.created this wonderful house, Carlton House, on Pall Mall, full

:22:12. > :22:14.

:22:14. > :22:22.of amazing objet d'art. Some ladies had their coats turn off their

:22:22. > :22:27.backs in the passion to see the objet d'art. It was torn down in

:22:27. > :22:32.1855. Hopefully Carlton House will keep some of its spirit. There's a

:22:32. > :22:37.Carlton House not far from I assume on the same spot. It is one of the

:22:37. > :22:43.Government residences. The Carlton House Terrace remains but the

:22:43. > :22:47.amazing house that the Prince built, it was torn down, to focus on

:22:47. > :22:51.Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace of course the scene of so

:22:51. > :22:55.much of the celebrations, whether it was the procession and the

:22:55. > :23:01.balcony appearances or indeed the concert and the special stage built

:23:01. > :23:05.around the QVM, as we call it, the Queen Victoria Memorial.

:23:05. > :23:08.incredible Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The last monarch who

:23:08. > :23:12.ever had a Diamond Jubilee was Queen Victoria, and by her period

:23:13. > :23:17.she was exhausted and lame. The last thing swhee be doing was going

:23:17. > :23:23.to the races. Whereas our Queen is hail and hearty, travelling and

:23:23. > :23:29.full of beans. What a boost today will be to her if her horse wins.

:23:29. > :23:34.Pretty exciting. Racing has always been so vital to the Royal Family.

:23:34. > :23:39.Edward IVV was a great racehorse owner. He was incredibly successful.

:23:39. > :23:46.He had a marvellous horse called Diamond Jubilee, which was born in

:23:46. > :23:49.1897. It was pretty successful. it won the Derby in 1900. It was

:23:49. > :23:55.very bad-tempered. It used to kick the jockey and the odd member of

:23:55. > :24:05.the public. When put out to stud it escaped and ran around the town, so

:24:05. > :24:06.

:24:06. > :24:12.a naughty horse. King Edward VII's son, he was incredibly successful.

:24:12. > :24:20.I mentioned earlier that the last Group 1 win ter Queen had was in 19

:24:20. > :24:26.7. The Silver Jubilee. She's had 20 winners at Ascot in a royal meeting.

:24:26. > :24:29.It is incredibly, how impressive it is that she is Queen and she's so

:24:29. > :24:32.busy doing Queen things and at the same time is a very successful

:24:32. > :24:36.racehorse owner. The Prince of Wales is not in the procession

:24:36. > :24:42.today and is not making the presentation for the Prince Of

:24:42. > :24:46.Wales Stakes Stakes, which he would normally do. Her Royal Highness the

:24:47. > :24:51.Princess Royal will be doing that. And the Countess of Wes elects be

:24:51. > :24:55.making a presentation today. Tomorrow the Queen will present in

:24:55. > :25:00.the Gold Cup, the oldest race in the Royal Ascot, and on Saturday

:25:00. > :25:07.the Diamond Jubilee, which was the golden Jubilee, the six-furlong

:25:07. > :25:11.sprint, for which Black Caviar, the Australian super mare is odds-on

:25:11. > :25:19.favourite. Who knows we might have another Jubilee in ten years time,

:25:19. > :25:26.and we would would have to rename it to a platinum Jubilee.

:25:26. > :25:30.Extraordinary. Has any monarch done that? Louis XIV, the French. Once

:25:30. > :25:37.she's beaten Queen Victoria in 2015, September 2015, she will beat Queen

:25:37. > :25:42.Victoria to be Britain's longest reigning monarch, then Louis XIV,

:25:42. > :25:49.the European monarch. I think she the European monarch. I think she

:25:49. > :25:59.can do it. What do you reckon? pausing because the national anthem

:25:59. > :26:39.

:26:39. > :26:44.will shortly be heard. The national anthem from the band

:26:45. > :26:54.of the Coldstream Guards. Around the racecourse and then removing

:26:54. > :26:59.their hats and people singing as the qeeb and the Royal Procession

:26:59. > :27:07.make -- Queen and the Royal Procession turn left and will re-

:27:07. > :27:11.emerge on the paddock side. A full circle of the paddock and dismount.

:27:11. > :27:17.By the Weighing Room, where people crowd around to try and get a good

:27:17. > :27:22.view of the Royal Procession. A smaller crowd today. Not

:27:22. > :27:26.surprisingly. I think Frankel attracted more racegoers yesterday.

:27:26. > :27:32.A slightly lower key feel today but nonetheless enthusiastic and

:27:32. > :27:36.excited about the racing ahead. Many people come just for this.

:27:36. > :27:41.People get the impression of Royal Ascot as being a social occasion,

:27:41. > :27:45.where everybody wants to be seen and see others, but the big draw is

:27:45. > :27:50.the Royal Procession. I think you are close to the Queen. We really

:27:50. > :27:56.see how it is something that she is so overjoyed to be at. She's such a

:27:56. > :28:00.keen racer and always been eeger, ever since she was a little girl.

:28:00. > :28:04.One of the her favourite wedding presents as a filly from the Agha

:28:04. > :28:08.Khan. She is a great owner and a great fan of horses. I think we've

:28:08. > :28:13.seen a lot of her this year in the Diamond Jubilee year. We probably

:28:13. > :28:19.will start to see less of her as in years go on, so I think we should

:28:19. > :28:28.grab our chances. Usual mentioning Queen Victoria's record 63 years.

:28:28. > :28:32.She was a long-living monarch. She got there to 1901, but the longest-

:28:32. > :28:42.raining monarch is from Swaziland. He was pretty good. I think the

:28:42. > :28:45.

:28:45. > :28:49.Queen may not beat him. I may not be around to see it.

:28:49. > :28:56.Huge applause here and the paddock. You can see how this was designed

:28:56. > :29:00.to make sure that people could get the best view possible of the Royal

:29:00. > :29:05.Procession. When they relaid the racecourse and built the new

:29:05. > :29:11.Grandstand, they moved the paddock. Part of the major condition of that

:29:11. > :29:17.was to have enough room for 30 horses for a maximum field, but

:29:17. > :29:22.bank the steps and make it look lovely, so that when people do come

:29:22. > :29:27.down for the Royal Procession, they, it is perfect for it. It is

:29:27. > :29:32.probably the best-dine designed paddock anywhere. You are right. So

:29:32. > :29:42.many times when we see the monarch, they are quite a long way away from

:29:42. > :29:45.

:29:45. > :29:49.us. In the flotilla she was quite far away but here you could throw a

:29:49. > :29:53.paper aeroplane if you wanted to, although she might not be too

:29:53. > :29:57.pleased about that. The horses will have come through Windsor Great

:29:57. > :30:02.Park and will make their way back to the mews after their circle of

:30:02. > :30:07.the paddock here. A few of them are getting warm, because it is a warm

:30:07. > :30:17.day, particularly here where you are out of the wind.

:30:17. > :30:31.

:30:31. > :30:36.They are behaving themselves Some lovely shots there just as the

:30:36. > :30:41.carriage turned off the racecourse and you can see the tkaple greys,

:30:41. > :30:48.don't they look gorgeous? Fabulous. Like old-fashioned rocking rocking

:30:48. > :30:56.horses. The Queen had so many when she was a little girl, loved

:30:56. > :31:03.rocking horses and practising on them. She was such an eager rider.

:31:03. > :31:06.The Queen and the Royal party will make their way up to the Royal Box.

:31:06. > :31:15.Her Majesty's representative on the left, and took over this year from

:31:15. > :31:19.the Duke of Devon hire and Charles -- Devon shire and Charles Barnet.

:31:19. > :31:24.I suspect the Queen difficulting an accurate report. She comes down the

:31:24. > :31:27.track and knows she well what's happening. She thinks about the

:31:27. > :31:32.quality of the grass and she will be looking at it carefully today to

:31:32. > :31:36.see how Carlton House might go, might win. I know there is that

:31:36. > :31:40.added frisson of excitement and nerves. It's a big day for him.

:31:40. > :31:43.Kate, thank you so much. Brilliant information and you will be with me

:31:43. > :31:46.tomorrow and day after. If you have questions you would like Kate to

:31:46. > :31:50.answer or indeed thing you think let's talk about that, we can cover

:31:50. > :31:53.those and particularly if you are on Twitter, we will get hold of

:31:53. > :31:58.those and put them to you later in the week. Thank you. Let's join our

:31:58. > :32:02.analyst team now of Ian and Mick. Thank you, Clare. Good afternoon. A

:32:02. > :32:08.horse that a lot of you are going to be cheering on is the Queen's

:32:08. > :32:11.runner in the big race, Carlton House. Let's look at his most

:32:11. > :32:15.recent run. Here he is, this was his first run since the beginning

:32:15. > :32:19.of July when he had been running in the Irish Derby. He was very free

:32:19. > :32:23.in the early part of this race. was, but Ryan Moore, he was intent

:32:24. > :32:27.on getting the horse to relax, get him settle. First run of the season.

:32:27. > :32:31.Many people here this day commented on how well the horse had done

:32:31. > :32:36.physically and this was emphasised here by him quickening up and going

:32:36. > :32:41.through this gap that appears. wait time for the gaps -- he had to

:32:41. > :32:45.wait for the gaps to come through. That happens a little bit at

:32:45. > :32:48.Sandown. They race tight together. You can see him quicken up smart

:32:48. > :32:52.here. Sir Michael Stoute trains him, said after the race that he is a

:32:52. > :32:56.much better horse over a mile and a quarter and that was evident here.

:32:56. > :33:01.That's the thing about him, he has had a couple of runs in his career

:33:01. > :33:05.over a mile and quarter. One was at York last year. He won that. Two

:33:05. > :33:10.runs over a mile and a half at Epsom and the Curran. OK, he got

:33:10. > :33:15.beat but good performances. That run at Sandown, back to ten

:33:15. > :33:20.furlongs. At that trip so far he is unbeaten. But he's good horses to

:33:20. > :33:24.beat today. Still has to step up. He has, step up marginally, because

:33:24. > :33:27.So You Think sets a high standard. So You Think is going to be the one

:33:27. > :33:30.to beat but that was Carlton House, the Queen's horse in his most

:33:30. > :33:34.recent run. He is going to carry a lot of your hopes this afternoon.

:33:34. > :33:40.He needs to improve as we mentioned already, but he has a chance and

:33:40. > :33:42.that's the main thing. But we have been still in the aftershock of

:33:42. > :33:45.Frankel. What an extraordinary performance yesterday. People are

:33:45. > :33:55.still reacting to it. Well worth seeing it again and enjoying some

:33:55. > :34:00.

:34:00. > :34:10.This is Ascot and the equine spotlight today falls on the

:34:10. > :34:13.

:34:13. > :34:17.phenomenonal Frankel. He has won ten in a row, can he make it 11?

:34:17. > :34:21.All the jockeys have come tout get a glimpse of -- have come out to

:34:21. > :34:27.get a glimpse of this guy. He is a superstar.

:34:27. > :34:35.# There goes my hero... Breeders all through their lives try to come

:34:35. > :34:39.up with a perfect race horse and this is the best. He is outstanding.

:34:40. > :34:43.# There goes my hero, watch him as he goes...

:34:43. > :34:53.The highest rated horse in the world, will this be another big

:34:53. > :34:57.

:34:57. > :35:06.win? They're set for the Queen Anne, Frankel in the pink cap, about

:35:06. > :35:10.fourth position. Now Queally is giving him more rein

:35:10. > :35:20.as he moves up with three furlongs left to travel. He gets an

:35:20. > :35:22.

:35:22. > :35:30.This is a procession. It's now Frankel who is drawing away. What a

:35:30. > :35:40.performance! The superb, the spectacular Frankel.

:35:40. > :35:42.

:35:42. > :35:46.11 out of 11! It's Frankel who wins Just amazing. Absolutely amazing.

:35:46. > :35:52.Anyone who is here today knows that they have seen something really

:35:52. > :36:00.special. This is the best racehorse that you have ever seen, I have

:36:00. > :36:06.ever seen, that anybody will ever Wonderful, really wonderful. I had

:36:06. > :36:14.a tear in my eye. Untouchable. Never seen anything like that.

:36:14. > :36:21.Amazing. Truly amazing. From behind it looks like a machine.

:36:21. > :36:28.The action is so perfect. It was a joy to be in the race. Unbelievable.

:36:28. > :36:31.Makes it a good reason for staying alive.

:36:31. > :36:36.You will watch a lot of racing before you ever see anything like

:36:36. > :36:40.that again. It was stunning. Just the way - the race was over three

:36:40. > :36:47.and a half furlongs from home. and a half he just let him go, that

:36:47. > :36:49.was it. You looked at all the other horses, no response to his - his

:36:50. > :36:54.acceleration took him away and he kept going into the distance.

:36:54. > :36:58.made good horses look really ordinary. More to come from him as

:36:58. > :37:01.well as the season progresses and we found out after the race that he

:37:01. > :37:05.had lost a shoe and we think a front shoe in the course of this.

:37:05. > :37:09.It probably didn't - clearly it didn't make a lot of difference.

:37:09. > :37:14.That was a mile race, Clare. We do think that he is going to stay a

:37:14. > :37:19.mile and a quarter. Another two furlongs. He is going to go further

:37:19. > :37:22.into the distance. The horse of a lifetime for Tom Queally and for

:37:22. > :37:26.Henry Cecil, who's trained so many good ones over the years, he was

:37:26. > :37:29.reluctant to say this is the best ever. But you could see - he adores

:37:29. > :37:34.this horse and how much pleasure it's given him and how much it

:37:34. > :37:39.helps put him right back at the top of the tree. All he did say was

:37:39. > :37:43.isn't it good for racing? Of course, it is. It's good for him, it's good

:37:43. > :37:48.for the owner, for Tom Queally, the jockey. It's good for the lads in

:37:48. > :37:51.the yard. To everybody who is involved with this horse, we will

:37:51. > :37:55.talk to their grandchildren and they will be talking about Frankel.

:37:55. > :38:04.They'll be talking about Frankel for the next 100 years. Just like

:38:04. > :38:09.we talk about Eclipse, we talk about him. He is the sort of grand

:38:09. > :38:14.grand granddad, I believe 80% of thoroughbreds now. You raised

:38:14. > :38:18.something there, one of the great races of the year is the Eclipse,

:38:18. > :38:21.one day we might have the Frankel and he will be commemorated like

:38:21. > :38:24.that. We will move on to today's action. The runners are in the

:38:24. > :38:27.paddock just about to be mounted by their jockeys for the opening race,

:38:27. > :38:31.it's the Jersey stakes sticks and Jim McGrath has the list and there

:38:31. > :38:36.are plenty of them, Jim. There are indeed, Clare. In fact,

:38:36. > :38:40.today there is 120 runners. You saw the tphoerplts field -- enormous

:38:40. > :38:50.field yesterday and again that's the order of the day this afternoon.

:38:50. > :38:50.

:38:50. > :40:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds

:40:55. > :41:04.In our first race we have four non- One of the rising stars of the

:41:04. > :41:08.training ranks is Roger Varian. He has Aljamaaheer here. He was

:41:08. > :41:11.impressive last time. Did that performance encourage you that the

:41:11. > :41:15.Jersey Stakes would be the next logical step? I think so. We hoped

:41:15. > :41:19.he would be a Jersey horse earlier in the year and he was beaten in a

:41:19. > :41:24.handicap at Newbury on soft ground. I didn't think he handled the

:41:24. > :41:28.ground that day and Paul agreed. We went to Newmarket off 88, official

:41:28. > :41:38.rating out of our depth but on better ground he won nicely at

:41:38. > :41:42.Newmarket and Paul gave - Jersey is logical next step. You are drawn in

:41:42. > :41:47.stall 18. The ground is good up the home stretch. Do you think it's

:41:47. > :41:50.possible they may clump together as one? Very possibly. I wasn't here

:41:50. > :41:54.yesterday but watched the racing and it seemed to happen one race

:41:54. > :41:58.one side, the other race the other side. The important thing apart

:41:58. > :42:03.from the ground is the pace. You really need to be drawn around pace

:42:03. > :42:07.horses to tow your side along early in the race. I hope there's enough

:42:07. > :42:11.pace where we are, so we can get involved where it matters and not

:42:11. > :42:15.too far behind. Do you think he is good tphouf win? -- enough to win?

:42:15. > :42:19.I hope so. Thank you. Good luck. Thank you.

:42:19. > :42:26.This could be Johnnie's day today, I mean Johnnie Murtagh, he has a

:42:26. > :42:31.great chance of getting off to a winning start on Sentaril for

:42:31. > :42:35.William Haggas. Three fillies in this race and they get a

:42:35. > :42:39.lightweight -- slight weight allowance. The best of them is this

:42:39. > :42:49.one, Sentaril. Her only two starts, she won at Newbury and then at

:42:49. > :42:51.

:42:51. > :42:57.Doncaster and she's related to Enticing, and... You like her,

:42:57. > :43:03.don't you? I do. She is a very nice filly. When she won last time she

:43:03. > :43:08.didn't have a race, she would have done more at home in a gallop than

:43:08. > :43:13.when she won. She is obviously a speedy filly and there's a lot more

:43:13. > :43:17.to come from her. I had a good look at her in the paddock. Strong, not

:43:17. > :43:21.very tall but very strong. Obviously, like her family,

:43:21. > :43:29.obviously got a little bit of something against the stalls

:43:29. > :43:36.because I see Gary there who is leading her around, and he is the

:43:36. > :43:45.sort of doctor for difficult horses. Let's look at a few of the others.

:43:45. > :43:49.It's a big field this. Joseph O'Brien on Reply, riding for

:43:49. > :43:53.his father, Aidan. Joseph still favourite to be leading jockey for

:43:53. > :43:56.the week. Ryan Moore is pressing him in that sense. Joseph hasn't

:43:57. > :44:01.yet had a Royal Ascot winner, could have on this horse or later on So

:44:01. > :44:06.You Think. This horse Reply was third behind Power in the Irish

:44:06. > :44:10.2000 Guineas last time out. Yes, well, they sroupb many horses --

:44:10. > :44:14.they run so many horses in these classic races and you expect Joseph

:44:14. > :44:21.to be on the best one and of course Joseph was on the winner that day

:44:21. > :44:26.and he by-passed this colt. This race, the Jersey Stakes is not a

:44:26. > :44:34.Group 1, it's sort of down in the league a little bit. Interestingly,

:44:35. > :44:39.Aidan won this Mozart in the Irish 2000 guineas. July Cup horse and

:44:39. > :44:45.they obviously think that he is not going to be winning in Group 1

:44:45. > :44:50.company, so here he is today. Still a very competitive race this.

:44:50. > :44:58.We will have another look at the market to see whether the punters

:44:58. > :45:05.are giving us a strong strong clue. Aljamaaheer is now the favourite.

:45:05. > :45:15.Reply after that early plunge is back out to 6-1 again. Favourite is

:45:15. > :45:28.

:45:28. > :45:32.slightly in the air there. I wouldn't worry too much. J Noseda

:45:32. > :45:36.has been plotting this out and he's won this race twice in the last ten

:45:36. > :45:42.years. This is the target for Valbchek? Yes, a very nice colt

:45:42. > :45:47.indeed. The trainer, his record at Royal Ascot is quite good. This

:45:47. > :45:51.race he has targeted and been successful at. Obviously with his

:45:51. > :46:01.jockey booking you could have to think that he fancies his chances

:46:01. > :46:04.

:46:04. > :46:08.with this colt. Obviously the most well known jockey based in the UK

:46:08. > :46:18.is Frankie Dettori. Ascot over the years has been a happy hunting

:46:18. > :46:20.

:46:20. > :46:25.ground for him. More of a challenge for him this season. He is riding

:46:25. > :46:33.Sovereign Debt. Jamie Spencer riding Sovereign Debt for Michael

:46:33. > :46:39.Bell. Redact mains unexposed. He's the sort of horse that could

:46:39. > :46:44.improve and sort of do a bit of good. He's definitely upped in

:46:44. > :46:49.grade. He is going to have to run better than he's ever done before.

:46:49. > :46:55.Obviously running him in this seven furlong race they think he hust

:46:55. > :47:03.have a chance. Jimmy Spencer does ride quite a bit for Michael Bell.

:47:03. > :47:09.A horse there is being a bit reluctant. That's Producer. Going

:47:09. > :47:14.forward now. Frankie Dettori is the man who a has the spat Jew built in

:47:14. > :47:18.his honour for the magnificent seven. He's the leading jockey at

:47:18. > :47:25.the royal meeting with 45 winners so far. He's been leading jockey of

:47:25. > :47:32.the week five times. How you see him in colours, in which he won his

:47:32. > :47:42.only Derby, on a horse called Authorise. He will be hoping to

:47:42. > :47:45.

:47:45. > :47:49.have the same luck on Oasis Dream. Interesting that he is riding a

:47:49. > :47:53.different horse tomorrow rather than opinion poll. He did ask if he

:47:53. > :47:58.could switch rides and Godolphin kindly said he could. That's why

:47:58. > :48:02.he's riding that horse. Whoever it is is just the one person. It might

:48:02. > :48:09.well be him. Sheikh Mohammed I think. That's where conversations

:48:09. > :48:19.begin and end. He makes the decisions. Capaill Liath. Fourth in

:48:19. > :48:42.

:48:42. > :48:48.the Coventry here, and in the them. That suggests nobody has a

:48:48. > :48:54.clear view on these yet. You might have picked a 25-1 shot that wins.

:48:54. > :49:01.This The last couple going forward. Johnny Murtagh is on Sentaril. He

:49:01. > :49:10.rode his first winner here in 1995 on Ridgewood Pearl. He has four

:49:10. > :49:14.times been champion jockey, 38 wins to his credit. One of the greats.

:49:14. > :49:20.Laffan, Amy Ryan. She's riding particularly well at the moment.

:49:20. > :49:27.She's had 15 winners on the board already. Really lashing out, Laffan.

:49:27. > :49:32.He is trained by Amy's father, Kevin. Let's check the betting.

:49:32. > :49:40.Laffan at 40s. Drawn 14, ride in the middle of this pack of 22

:49:40. > :49:50.runners. That's Frankie there on Justineo.

:49:50. > :50:00.

:50:00. > :50:10.The green jacket he wore on his Laffan. Then they'll be set. They

:50:10. > :50:10.

:50:10. > :50:15.stand... Set to go. And racing! Away to a fair start. Valbchek on

:50:15. > :50:19.the nearside, a fraction slow into stride. Going very fast is Bannock

:50:19. > :50:24.on the nearside. Fast in the early stages. Laffan showing out as well.

:50:24. > :50:28.Right over on the far side early showing plenty of dash is Producer.

:50:28. > :50:31.Settling down. Producer is going to be the early leader on the far side

:50:31. > :50:36.from up there on the nearside Bannock. Laffan is in the centre

:50:36. > :50:39.making a line of three. Redact behind them with Red Duke. They are

:50:39. > :50:43.followed by Ptolemaic, green cap on the right. Further back in the

:50:43. > :50:48.centre is Lethal Force, followed over on the far side by Swiss

:50:48. > :50:51.Spirit, and also there is Ishvana. They are followed next by Lady

:50:51. > :50:56.Gorgeous in the centre. Ewell Place is not that far away. Eastern Sun

:50:56. > :51:02.is right in the middle of the pack. Aljamaaheer is behind a wall of

:51:02. > :51:05.horses. In about 10th or 12 position as they race on to the

:51:05. > :51:10.course proper. Ishvana on the far side grab as narrow lead. Swiss

:51:10. > :51:15.Spirit going well. In the centre is Bannock, from Producer, Red Duke.

:51:15. > :51:18.Further back is Lethal Force, ply pry Reply on the far side.

:51:18. > :51:23.Aljamaaheer is in the clear, with five lengths to make up. Ishvana

:51:23. > :51:26.has kicked for home. Ishvana on the farm side. Lady Gorgeous coming

:51:26. > :51:31.there now, Producer is there as well with Lethal Force. They race

:51:31. > :51:39.towards the line. Ishvana holding on. Aljamaaheer down the outside.

:51:39. > :51:44.Ishvana got there! A photo second. That involved Sentaril, who flashed

:51:44. > :51:49.home with Aljamaaheer. Not that far away behind them was Lady Gorgeous,

:51:49. > :51:56.as they crossed the line. It is a real blanket here, buttish make

:51:56. > :52:02.sure got the money in the colours of Ann-Marie O'Brien. Trained by

:52:02. > :52:10.her husband, Aidan, and ridden by Seamie Heffernan. It is a photo for

:52:10. > :52:17.second. It is 20-1 the winner. Ishvana. What a run! Aljamaaheer on

:52:17. > :52:23.the nearside... Just coming back there with the green cap central

:52:23. > :52:28.reel it is very tight between Sentaril. Just ahead of Aljamaaheer.

:52:28. > :52:33.That's Lethal Force in fourth. Producer in the centre and the

:52:34. > :52:39.yellow. Then at the top of the screen in the white cap, we see

:52:39. > :52:44.crossing the line Lady Gorgeous. Then Boom And Bust. They are

:52:44. > :52:49.followed by Ptolemaic. Further back then is Red Duke, who is in the

:52:49. > :52:54.middle. Valbchek on the nearside. Redact Reply on the top of the

:52:54. > :53:00.screen. Further back is Rebellious Guest, a back then to Eastern Sun

:53:00. > :53:10.and Bannock. Behind them allual and Laffan, who was showing speed. Well

:53:10. > :53:14.

:53:14. > :53:18.back in the field is Swiss Spirit and then Talwar and Telwaar. They

:53:18. > :53:26.finished together. Number 26 Sentaril, third number three,

:53:26. > :53:31.Aljamaaheer, ridden by Paul Hanagan. Fourth was Lethal Force. But

:53:31. > :53:37.Ishvana, Ann-Marie O'Brien and Aidan O'Brien combining for the

:53:37. > :53:44.first winner, with Seamie Heffernan in the saddle. 1. : 25.45. A 20-1

:53:44. > :53:53.winner to open proceedings on day two. She was 33-1 when she finished

:53:53. > :54:03.in the Irish 2,000 Guineas first time out. A filly not just owned by

:54:03. > :54:05.

:54:05. > :54:11.Ann-Marie O'Brien but bred he her as well. Hasn't she quickened up

:54:11. > :54:15.well here? The big guns steaming down, a brilliant finish from

:54:15. > :54:24.Sentaril. Fillies finishing first and second. Ishvana the second

:54:24. > :54:30.filly to win this race in three years, rain fall won it in 2010.

:54:30. > :54:34.took a long time to pick up. Paul Hanagan was at him from a long way

:54:34. > :54:39.out. Johnny Murtagh was tracking him the whole race. He was watching

:54:39. > :54:44.him. Johnny thought that was the horse he had to beat and he tracked

:54:44. > :54:50.him and then attacked him, but he just got the better of him and

:54:50. > :54:55.finished second. This filly, who was sort of drawn sixth has come up

:54:55. > :55:00.the middle of the track. Got away from them and finished really well.

:55:00. > :55:04.When a filly runs second in a Group 1 classic you would have to think

:55:04. > :55:08.it could come and win a Group 3 race, which is down in grade.

:55:08. > :55:15.Obviously this filly, they must have fancied her to win today.

:55:15. > :55:21.She's done a lot of good in the form sense for Mick Shannon's filly,

:55:21. > :55:31.who beat her at the Curragh. It is not a bad job being second to Aidan

:55:31. > :55:38.

:55:38. > :55:43.oh -- Aidan O'Brien. 20-1 the winner, 5-1 the second and

:55:43. > :55:49.4-1 favourite, Aljamaaheer. Ann- Marie is going to lead in her

:55:49. > :55:54.winner. What a proud moment for any owner-breeder. Let's look at the

:55:54. > :56:02.photo for second. This is very tight, as you can see. Just getting

:56:03. > :56:08.the gob there on the inside with the green cap. -- just getting the

:56:08. > :56:13.job in there on the inside with the green cap, that's Johnny Murtagh.

:56:13. > :56:23.Aljamaaheer had a wall of horses between him and the two-furlong

:56:23. > :56:28.marker. There's Ishvana, out of Holy Roman Emperor, out of Song Of

:56:28. > :56:34.The Sea. Aidan and his wife Ann- Marie have gathered together a good

:56:34. > :56:40.band of brood mares. They go back a few years. I think Rock of

:56:40. > :56:47.Gibraltar was one of theirs, a seven times group winner. The time

:56:47. > :56:53.was only 0.51 of a second slower than the record, which was said by

:56:53. > :56:58.Rainfall in this race two years ago. One length and a short head were

:56:58. > :57:04.the distances. You can see the ground is drying out. This is very

:57:04. > :57:11.significant. On the straight it is drying out. In fact overall it

:57:11. > :57:16.would be drying out, because they have changed the going here before

:57:16. > :57:24.racing to good overall. Slightly different to what was shown in the

:57:24. > :57:31.papers this morning. So, there is the winner and the winning

:57:31. > :57:38.connection. We can check the result in detail with John. Aidan O'Brien

:57:38. > :57:44.wins the race, Ishvana, 20-1. Second was Sentaril, 5-1, third was

:57:44. > :57:49.favourite, Aljamaaheer, at 4-1. It is another photo opportunity for

:57:49. > :57:57.the O'Brien time and Ishvana. Front and centre for this photo is the

:57:57. > :58:01.winning owner and the person who bred Ishvana, daughter of Holy

:58:01. > :58:06.Roman Emperor. A top class two- year-old. He was a horse that had

:58:06. > :58:12.enormous potential but unfortunately didn't quite fulfil

:58:12. > :58:16.it as he was injured in his three- year-old career. We'll try to grab

:58:16. > :58:21.a word as soon as this photo is all over. A lot of them involved in the

:58:21. > :58:27.photo are the O'Brien family. Ishvana was second in the Irish

:58:27. > :58:33.1,000 Guineas. Aidan O'Brien has had a number of good fillies,

:58:33. > :58:36.including Homecoming Queen, who won the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket.

:58:36. > :58:40.Ann-Marie, congratulations. It is interesting to see your name down

:58:40. > :58:46.as the owner and the breeder. This must be a special moment for you?

:58:46. > :58:50.Absolutely incredible. I would like to thank my dad who bought it from

:58:50. > :58:55.the sales for us. I'm so happy to be here. She was very prim esive.

:58:55. > :58:59.She showed a great turn of foot. She was very impressive. Obviously

:58:59. > :59:03.there are very good fillies at Ballydoyle. It might be difficult

:59:03. > :59:08.to work Hewitt is the best amongst them at the moment. We have lots of

:59:08. > :59:12.races to be run and they all maybe have slightly different trips. I

:59:13. > :59:18.think seven furlongs suited her perfectly today. It certainly did.

:59:18. > :59:23.Well done. I'm trying to grab a word with Aidan if that's OK. Aidan,

:59:23. > :59:27.we've had a word with the winning owner and, who is very happy and

:59:27. > :59:31.grateful to her dad for buying her at the sales. I was saying to her

:59:31. > :59:36.it must be difficult for you to work out who is the best filly in

:59:36. > :59:40.your stable at the moment. She was great, a very good run at the

:59:40. > :59:48.Curragh last time. She was a smart filly, loved fast ground. Plenty of

:59:48. > :59:53.speed and travels and got a mile well. Seamus gave her a great ride.

:59:53. > :59:57.I'm grateful to everybody. Have you managed to work out a pecking order

:59:57. > :00:03.with Homecoming Queen and the lakes of Maybe? Not really. You will see

:00:03. > :00:07.as it goes along on the track we don't put them together at home,

:00:07. > :00:10.but pecking order hopefully will start showing shortly. A brief word

:00:10. > :00:16.about Maybe. She was due to run in the Coronation Stakes is. She out

:00:16. > :00:21.of that race? After declaration this morning, at 11 o'clock, she

:00:21. > :00:25.had a bad stone bruise. They opened and released it. Will it depend

:00:25. > :00:29.over the next hours how much relief she got from that. It usually takes

:00:29. > :00:33.a day or a day-and-a-half. Will it did depend on how that is really.

:00:33. > :00:43.We'll see how she is in the morning but I would say at the moment she's

:00:43. > :00:48.

:00:48. > :00:53.Extremely. Takes her a while to loosen up. She wanted to go, and

:00:53. > :00:58.sure, she's a Group winner now. she just getting better, a filly

:00:58. > :01:02.coming to yourself? Aidan, I don't know what he does to them. Some can

:01:02. > :01:06.be no good and start improving. They can get better. Is this your

:01:06. > :01:08.first Royal Ascot winner? Yeah. does that sit with you? I am

:01:08. > :01:14.getting experience now, I take everything in my stride. It's nice

:01:14. > :01:24.to have it on the CV. Well done. Thank you.

:01:24. > :01:26.

:01:26. > :01:30.So, a first Royal Ascot win there for Seamus there.

:01:30. > :01:36.This time Aidan's horses got knocked over at the start and won.

:01:36. > :01:42.She is there, stall number six. As she comes out of the gates horses

:01:42. > :01:47.either side of her are going to come through and a few of them get

:01:47. > :01:53.hampered here. Look at what happens there. He gets knocked over

:01:53. > :01:59.sideways and she does, as well. To be that far back, hampered at the

:01:59. > :02:03.start, I mean, classic form in the Guineas. She's done well. Very well,

:02:03. > :02:08.because that was her chance to duck out of it if she she didn't fancy

:02:08. > :02:13.it but not a bit of it, a tough sort this. Five or six all on top

:02:13. > :02:16.of each other there. The one that suffered most is Rebellious Guest

:02:16. > :02:21.who ends up at the back of the field. Let's look at the closing

:02:21. > :02:26.stages of the race. Let's look at a couple of the interesting ones.

:02:26. > :02:29.Green cap, Johnnie Murtagh and blue and white stripe cap of Paul

:02:29. > :02:34.Hanagan, because of the way this race shaped out, they're at the

:02:34. > :02:40.back of the field and looked as if they had time to quicken up. Paul

:02:40. > :02:44.Hanagan said he was wished he was drawn the other side. He needed

:02:44. > :02:48.that pace to take him closer. Johnnie Murtagh said his horse

:02:48. > :02:51.jumped out really smart, keen in his hands and when he let her down

:02:51. > :02:55.they were worried about her getting the trip. He said no worries about

:02:55. > :03:04.the trip, nice sort. Probably unlucky on the day. They're both

:03:04. > :03:06.saying the pace was over the far side which is what we found on the

:03:06. > :03:10.King's Stand. Not any great advantage in the draw, it's where

:03:10. > :03:16.the pace is. You got to be whatever side the other horses have the pace

:03:16. > :03:20.are. OK. So it's 20-1 winner there for Aidan O'Brien. She does well to

:03:21. > :03:25.survive that incident at the start and win.

:03:25. > :03:28.She's got a lovely size and scope about her, real good reach in her

:03:28. > :03:33.stride. I don't think anybody will be underestimating her the next

:03:33. > :03:37.time she pitches up in Group race race company. For Anne Marie

:03:37. > :03:47.O'Brien, she gets the added pleasure of the trophy being

:03:47. > :03:48.

:03:48. > :03:51.presented by Jenson Button, and I am sure he will be later talking to

:03:51. > :03:56.Suzi Perry, but for now let's see where she is.

:03:56. > :04:00.Thank you very much, Clare. As a race-goer here you get a tremendous

:04:00. > :04:04.view, fantastic access. I thought you might like to see a little bit

:04:04. > :04:10.of the layout. Straight ahead is the Queen's balcony, she has an

:04:10. > :04:13.amazing view. We are at the back of the Parade Ring. Clare and Willie

:04:13. > :04:21.are broadcasting from that blue box over there in the studio. In front

:04:21. > :04:26.of the studio there's a magnificent statue of Yeats, iconic racehorse.

:04:26. > :04:30.Let's have a history lesson as we are walking along. Ascot as a

:04:30. > :04:34.racing venue was discovered way back in 17 11 when Queen Anne was

:04:34. > :04:38.out riding her horse, and saw this flat piece of Heath and thought

:04:38. > :04:42.this is a great place to let horses go at full gallop and how right she

:04:42. > :04:45.was. It wasn't until about 100 years later that actually the

:04:45. > :04:49.racing as we know it today happened when the Gold Cup was introduced.

:04:49. > :04:56.The Gold Cup is tomorrow. We know it better as Ladies' Day and that

:04:57. > :05:02.was invented really back in 1823 when an anonymous poet said:

:05:02. > :05:06.Ladies' Day when the women like angels look sweetly divine and we

:05:06. > :05:09.all know the ladies on Ladies' Day do still look sweetly divine. We

:05:09. > :05:13.talked about new fashion rules yesterday, so hopefully everybody

:05:13. > :05:17.will be looking gorgeous tomorrow. Around that time King George V

:05:17. > :05:22.commissioned the first Royal Enclosure, a two-tiered affair with

:05:22. > :05:27.a lawn around and lots of rules. For example, you had to be invited

:05:27. > :05:32.by royalty to come to the enclosure, but if you were a divorcee you

:05:32. > :05:37.weren't allowed in until 1955 and still access was restricted. Ascot

:05:37. > :05:42.itself looks absolutely incredible. The two-tiered affair from the

:05:42. > :05:49.1820s is very different, as you see today. It reinvents itself once

:05:49. > :05:54.every generation and the latest facelift was in 2006 where they

:05:54. > :05:57.managed to stick to their �220 million budget and create this

:05:57. > :06:03.magnificent racecourse which is one of the most spectacular in the

:06:03. > :06:08.world. Now in the Grandstand area the band is firing up behind me.

:06:08. > :06:12.This is an amazing bandstand where everybody comes to have drink and

:06:12. > :06:16.champagne and tea and after the racing is finished little booklets

:06:16. > :06:20.are given out with lyrics and flags and everybody sits here and sing

:06:20. > :06:24.and it's a really, really terrific end to the day. It all started back

:06:25. > :06:34.in the 1970s. You really do get a great atmosphere here and it's

:06:35. > :06:35.

:06:35. > :06:38.great fun. Might have a little song later myself. I have been joined

:06:38. > :06:44.here by Andy Holden. Great to have you back with us. What did you make

:06:44. > :06:48.of yesterday with Frankel? It was amazing to be here. For the

:06:48. > :06:52.opposition he is getting even better, he is not getting worse. He

:06:52. > :06:57.will almost have to go newspaper trip to find new opponents. Why is

:06:57. > :07:01.he so good? Analysing times and figures, he seems to be able to rip

:07:01. > :07:05.a field apart by putting in huge bursts. Going quickly in the early

:07:05. > :07:15.part of the race. From the three furlong part to two yesterday he

:07:15. > :07:15.

:07:16. > :07:19.done ten seconds 58, Little Bridge won the King Stand, he's putting in

:07:19. > :07:25.five-furlong sprint time in the hottest part of the race and

:07:25. > :07:29.destroys milers. Like Usain Bolt running 100 metres over 400. Then

:07:29. > :07:34.being asked to run the same speed for another 400 metres which is

:07:34. > :07:39.almost impossible. He must have an amazing lung capacity as well as a

:07:39. > :07:49.great physical spesman to do that. That's a case of Black Caviar over

:07:49. > :07:51.

:07:51. > :07:56.to you. He's thrown down the gauntlet. She's down 9.98 fast

:07:56. > :08:02.furlong. Odds of 1-3 at the moment. Don't think I would be getting

:08:02. > :08:11.involved. What have you unearthed for us in next races. I like

:08:11. > :08:15.Captivator. Horse off the back of a good run last time. Sectional times

:08:15. > :08:19.Captivator did in that race suggest she was unlucky perhaps not to get

:08:19. > :08:25.closer to the winner, stuck out on the wing exposed. If she had been

:08:25. > :08:30.closer to the winner she might have won on that occasion. She's 20-1.

:08:30. > :08:34.The Royal Hunt Cup, what have you found? Probably a couple. Prince Of

:08:34. > :08:39.Johanne at the standside rail, ran in a hot race at York. Looked as

:08:39. > :08:44.though it needed run on that occasion, but was second to a good

:08:44. > :08:50.horse Fury. Will love fast ground. If the standside rail isn't big

:08:50. > :08:55.inconvenience, I think he will go well. Other one is Bridgefield. He

:08:55. > :09:03.probably came out best horse in the race. He's drawn stall 14. You have

:09:03. > :09:10.one towards middle to far side and one stardz standside. Have hu

:09:10. > :09:13.homework done on the Queen Mary? Best for last. Interesting there

:09:13. > :09:17.the conversation about Frankel and whether he has got maybe a bigger

:09:17. > :09:20.heart or lung capacity. Actually something you said yesterday, I

:09:20. > :09:24.know know I understand context in which you said it but sounded

:09:24. > :09:30.alarming, you said we won't know how good Frankel is until he is

:09:30. > :09:35.dead and we can open him up and people listening going what! You

:09:35. > :09:40.meant that, autopsies have shown great things. The heart will be

:09:40. > :09:46.massive and the lung capacity. Brown Jockey's heart was three

:09:46. > :09:50.times the size. Hyperian, he was one of the great racehorses, won

:09:50. > :09:56.the Derby in 1933 and there is a statue of him in Newmarket. He had

:09:56. > :10:00.an extra rib. They had the autopsy on him he had an extra rib. Maybe

:10:00. > :10:04.that gave him more room for oxygen, as it were. That's why he was such

:10:05. > :10:08.a great horse. Talking of Frankel, let's talk about Frankie and we

:10:08. > :10:11.mentioned this briefly before the first race and Frankie Dettori,

:10:11. > :10:15.whose statue here as you come in through the main gates, there is

:10:15. > :10:18.the statue and he was posing happily there today, that

:10:19. > :10:23.commemorates the magnificent seven. Still the most successful jockey

:10:23. > :10:26.who currently holds a licence at Royal Ascot and no doubt that he

:10:26. > :10:32.rides this course better than anybody. If you were Frankie and in

:10:33. > :10:38.the position of being number one jockey - you never came under

:10:38. > :10:47.pressure from a new boy on the scene? Only from Hampden. If you

:10:47. > :10:53.were Frankie right now and Barzalona and DeSousa have joined

:10:54. > :11:00.the team and clearly he is still riding a lot of horses but when

:11:00. > :11:05.when -... What is Frankie thinking, approaching this week and what

:11:05. > :11:11.would you give him advice? He is 41 years of age. He is obviously

:11:11. > :11:16.thinking he is under pressure. I wouldn't be feeling that he is

:11:16. > :11:21.under pressure because the horses are not winning races. If Barzalona

:11:21. > :11:31.was winning on all the horses that was different, but they're not

:11:31. > :11:32.

:11:32. > :11:39.winning. Frankie obviously is not getting everything to ride...

:11:39. > :11:46.chatting with David. He goes around buying horses for them. Frankie is

:11:46. > :11:53.a very gregarious person. Look at him. He is all fun, but he is still

:11:53. > :11:57.a jockey in the big occasions, he is not a jockey to be his backside

:11:57. > :12:02.in the weighing room, he should be on a horse. He should be on the

:12:02. > :12:05.track. He is a jockey of world class. It had to hurt him not being

:12:05. > :12:15.at Epsom on Derby day. These are his rides today. You can see the

:12:15. > :12:22.

:12:22. > :12:28.up spare rides at Royal Ascot, they are rides. You are not going to get

:12:28. > :12:31.on to the real live chances because they're hard to come by, from other

:12:31. > :12:37.stables I am talking about. Planning is done so far in advance

:12:37. > :12:47.and you have to develop a relationship. There is the Princess,

:12:47. > :12:50.in opposition to her husband, Joviality, her colours.

:12:50. > :12:53.Let's hear from a jockey who could have a superb day. He has been

:12:53. > :12:57.second in the first race, could have two winners perhaps later. He

:12:57. > :13:00.is with Rishi. Johnnie Murtagh Murtagh who could

:13:00. > :13:03.have a very good day. You ride a horse in the Prince of Wales Stakes,

:13:03. > :13:08.you probably don't know that much about him but he is obviously

:13:08. > :13:12.decent. Coming all the way from America, Big Blue Kitten. His form

:13:12. > :13:16.is good in America. Been placed a couple of occasions. The track will

:13:16. > :13:20.suit him. He is a big galloping horse, track should suit him. I

:13:20. > :13:26.haven't spoken to the trainer yet so not sure what we will do. Like

:13:26. > :13:35.to ride him forward, use that stride and good eachway chance.

:13:35. > :13:42.trainer you have a great record at Ascot for is James Fanshaw. He has

:13:42. > :13:46.Dimension. Can you give me and any supporters of Dimension anything

:13:46. > :13:50.about his chances? He booked me a couple of weeks ago, said he

:13:50. > :13:54.thought the horse had a good chance. Has improved from his last run. A

:13:54. > :13:57.mile at Ascot should suit him. A lot of positivities going for him.

:13:57. > :14:03.If we are drawn on the right side and get luck he will be there or

:14:03. > :14:11.thereabouts. Sounds encouraging to me. A brief word about the Gold Cup

:14:11. > :14:16.tomorrow and Saddlary's Rock. didn't have a smooth run up to the

:14:16. > :14:21.race, the ground was soft. Hope the rain stays away. He goes on good

:14:21. > :14:26.fast ground. Forecast isn't great. It won't be as bad as in

:14:26. > :14:29.Leopardstown. Hopefully he will be on the strait and always the fast

:14:29. > :14:32.of it. If he can travel on the strait he will give a good account

:14:32. > :14:35.of himself. If it didn't rain I would be more confident. Thank you

:14:35. > :14:45.for talking to us. Good luck, especially on Dimension. Thank you

:14:45. > :14:47.

:14:47. > :14:52.very much. Johnnie has ridden five Gold Cup

:14:52. > :15:02.winners, certainly a man to listen to. Let's look at the second race

:15:02. > :15:02.

:15:02. > :16:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds

:16:01. > :16:08.The second favourite here trained by Sir Henry Cecil, Chachamaidee.

:16:08. > :16:13.She's a five-year-old mare, with a decent chance in this, to be honest.

:16:13. > :16:18.Pret y good-looking fillies, but this one improved. There is Henry.

:16:18. > :16:25.Only had the one runner. You only need one if it's Frankel. Talking

:16:25. > :16:35.to John Ferguson who is the bloodstock adviser to shake home. -

:16:35. > :16:37.

:16:37. > :16:47.- Sheikh Mohammed. I'm sure they will be having a few words about

:16:47. > :16:51.

:16:51. > :16:56.rivalry. Although I said you will be lucky for 20-1, it is hard

:16:56. > :17:05.enough to find which of the shots that's likely to be. I think the

:17:05. > :17:11.bookies were the winners after race one, to be honest. Let's hear from

:17:11. > :17:18.Prince Abdullah's racing manager. He's with Rishi. Before we just get

:17:18. > :17:23.into emmule lust, it's worth -- Emulous, it's worth finding out

:17:23. > :17:27.about Frankel. How is he? Seems happy, no problems. Delightful.

:17:27. > :17:36.Have you had a chance to think about the victory and put some

:17:37. > :17:42.context to it? Not yet, no. It was a breath-taking performance by any

:17:42. > :17:48.standards. I usually sit and yell from the stands, but I just sat

:17:48. > :17:52.opened mouthed. Even you? I was -- it was such a wonderful job done by

:17:52. > :17:56.Henry and Tom and everyone back home and Warren Place has been

:17:56. > :18:00.fantastic. He's something else, isn't he? Incredible. We are

:18:00. > :18:04.hearing all sorts of great ratings attached to him. Timeform are

:18:04. > :18:09.saying that he will have the highest rating since the history of

:18:09. > :18:14.Timeform and the highest racing since Dancing Brave. It must mean a

:18:14. > :18:17.lot to be in control of a horse like this? It does. It means a huge

:18:17. > :18:22.amount, because obviously people come in it for these very, very

:18:22. > :18:26.special horses and the amount of people that come up to me and say,

:18:26. > :18:31."My son wasn't keen or racing, but they saw Frankel and they just

:18:31. > :18:36.absolutely are mad for it now." It is hugely important for the whole

:18:36. > :18:43.game, as well, of course, for the prince and Juddmonte and everything

:18:43. > :18:49.else. Fantastic. Handle with care. About the filly in this race, and

:18:49. > :18:58.with her penalty she has to give weight away. She has had a

:18:58. > :19:01.preparation run. Encouraged? She beat a high class field in

:19:01. > :19:06.Ireland last year and came out to The Curragh and travelled well in

:19:06. > :19:12.the race. Was a little rustity and had a good blow-off, so obviously

:19:12. > :19:17.the five pounds is significant, but she is in very good form and she'll

:19:17. > :19:23.run very well. Thank you for talking to us. Give Frankel a pat

:19:23. > :19:26.on the back from the BBC team. do. Really was such a sensational

:19:26. > :19:32.performance and as teddy says, hugely important. Neil Callan

:19:32. > :19:36.making his way down to the start on this gorgeous filly, Nahrain. Roger

:19:36. > :19:39.varion, her trainer, has waited and waited to make sure she has a

:19:39. > :19:44.summer and autumn season and it just depends whether she's sharp

:19:44. > :19:48.enough to win first time out. She is certainly good enough, but would

:19:48. > :19:53.she be ready? She's a very, very good filly indeed. The only time

:19:53. > :19:57.she was beaten was when she went to the breeders cup and we know how --

:19:57. > :20:04.Breeders' Cup and we know how tough those races are. She ran in the

:20:04. > :20:12.fillies and mares race there and finished second, but she is a filly.

:20:12. > :20:16.She won in France a short head on the Arc day. Look at Chachamaidee

:20:16. > :20:21.and Tom Queally. Henry Cecil uses the hoods on a lot of his fillies

:20:21. > :20:25.at home, every day and just helps deaden the sounds so the keerz are

:20:25. > :20:29.covered, but no cups around the -- the ears are covered, but no cups

:20:29. > :20:34.around the eyes. She won at Lingfield and had a little trouble

:20:34. > :20:39.in running. She is a filly who has to improve, but she looks as though

:20:39. > :20:45.she has done. She looks as though she has improved between four and

:20:45. > :20:50.five. When a race horse gets to five they are at full maturity to

:20:50. > :20:56.improve until they get to five years of age, so possibly she has

:20:56. > :21:01.improved that little bit, but she would have to a little. Nahrain and

:21:01. > :21:05.Emulous - Sorry, Chachamaidee was second last year in this race.

:21:05. > :21:09.There are three-pound penalties because they are Group 1 winners.

:21:09. > :21:12.It can sometimes work to the advantages for those who haven't

:21:12. > :21:16.won and Lay Time hasn't. Jimmy Fortune rides here for Andrew

:21:16. > :21:20.Balding and she was working very well on the gallops before she ran

:21:20. > :21:25.at Epsom. They really fancied her and she was disappointing and only

:21:25. > :21:29.fifth. You have to say to yourself, "If you think 9-1 is decent ignore

:21:29. > :21:38.the run at Epsom and say whatever happens some horses hate it there."

:21:38. > :21:42.That is Clinical there. She will be up in with what we call the band,

:21:42. > :21:46.which is when you are very near the pace or near to making a run and

:21:46. > :21:51.this filly is very, very genuine. Very tough. Has been around and

:21:51. > :21:56.travelled a lot. A tough filly, but she is up against fillies today

:21:56. > :22:00.that possibly you would have to say is a little better than she has

:22:00. > :22:05.been meeting when she has been winning, but when you keep winning

:22:05. > :22:09.up to Upgrade and here she is today, up to Upgrade and here she is today,

:22:09. > :22:14.up to Upgrade and here she is today, trying to win. Isn't Luke Morris

:22:14. > :22:20.doing well? Very much Sir Mark Prescott's number-one pick. Others

:22:20. > :22:27.using him. Yeah. He has got plenty of experience on the all-weather

:22:27. > :22:31.and going around the all-weather he was basically vying for champion

:22:31. > :22:35.all-weather jockey and it went to a photo finish and I think she was

:22:35. > :22:41.beaten just on the last day. could do something yet he hasn't

:22:41. > :22:45.done and ride a Royal Ascot winner here. William Buick gets plenty of

:22:45. > :22:51.rides in good races. First jockey to John Godsden. That means that

:22:51. > :23:01.you get a host of well-bred horses, particularly by Princess Haya of

:23:01. > :23:06.

:23:06. > :23:16.Jordan and this is a lovely filly. Won the Musicanna last year -- Musa

:23:16. > :23:18.

:23:18. > :23:23.Dora last year. You can see that the fillies all meets because they

:23:23. > :23:27.are top-rate animals and these are the only races they can run in.

:23:27. > :23:30.Barefoot Lady was fifth in the Guineas last year and third in the

:23:30. > :23:35.Coronation. She had won the Nell Gwyn last year and she's been busy

:23:35. > :23:42.enough this year. You know, she is not far off these, but tends to be

:23:42. > :23:46.a bit of a bridesmaid. She is a tough filly. Remember when she ran

:23:46. > :23:50.at Newmarket, back in last year as a three-year-old and she was up and

:23:50. > :23:56.up near the pace and battles all the way to the line. What is your

:23:56. > :24:02.pick? My pick, well, I think I might go for Nahrain. I'm with that.

:24:02. > :24:08.Over now to Jim. Tom Queally, well, what a difference 24 hours makes.

:24:08. > :24:13.He's sitting there a lot more relaxed and casual than he was 24

:24:13. > :24:21.hours ago, that's for sure. He was ready to ride Frankel then. He's on

:24:21. > :24:25.Chachamaidee here. They're off and running and Chachamaidee has missed

:24:25. > :24:31.it by six lengths on settling down. Law Of The Range will be the leader.

:24:31. > :24:36.Up there is Barefoot Lady and also over on the far side is jovality

:24:36. > :24:41.and now Nahrain over on the far side. Sitting in behind is Lay Time

:24:41. > :24:44.and Emulous who has a beautiful sit in. Followed then by I Love Me, who

:24:44. > :24:49.is right in the middle and Dysphonia, on the far side in the

:24:49. > :24:52.Royal blue of Godolphin. Followed by Rhythm Of Light and further back

:24:52. > :24:56.is Captivator and followed to the rear by Clinical with Chachamaidee,

:24:56. > :25:02.who has made up ground and half a length away is Beatrice Aurore, who

:25:02. > :25:07.is at the end of the field. Less than five to travel. The leader is

:25:07. > :25:09.Barefoot Lady by a length to Law Of The Range and Nahrain in the yellow.

:25:09. > :25:14.A length further back is Lay Time, followed through the back by

:25:14. > :25:19.Emulous on the near side. Then jovality right over on the far side.

:25:19. > :25:25.Further back is Clinical and Captivator. I Love Me and Dysphonia

:25:25. > :25:31.and Chachamaidee there. Grabbing hold on the bit now. Kicking away

:25:31. > :25:34.from Beatrice Aurore. Racing up. They've got two-and-a-half to go.

:25:34. > :25:39.Barefoot Lady responding. Jovality and Nahrain in the centre under

:25:39. > :25:45.pressure too, but running on. Now Chachamaidee is absolutely flying

:25:45. > :25:50.up the stand-side, as they have a furlong left to go and Chachamaidee

:25:50. > :25:55.has a nose in front. On the far side jovality going with her and

:25:55. > :25:59.jovality kicking in again and jovality just doing the better and

:25:59. > :26:02.jovality beating Chachamaidee. Lay Time in third. Barefoot Lady in

:26:02. > :26:06.fourth, followed by Beatrice Aurore, then Law Of The Range and Emulous,

:26:06. > :26:10.who never got into it from Dysphonia. Followed by Clinical, I

:26:10. > :26:17.Love Me, Nahrain and Rhythm Of Light and Captivator at long last.

:26:17. > :26:24.Well, Jovality has come good in the colours of Princess Haya of Jordan,

:26:24. > :26:30.trained by John Godsden and ridden by William Buick. He has got up

:26:30. > :26:35.there to just grab it on the line. From Chachamaidee, who raced there,

:26:35. > :26:39.but the early effort of missing the start, we'll slow it down a bit.

:26:39. > :26:45.There it is. Jovality getting there by a neck, from Chachamaidee. A

:26:45. > :26:49.length away then is Lay Time in third. Run a much-improved race,

:26:49. > :26:54.better than Epsom and then back next is Barefoot Lady and Beatrice

:26:54. > :26:58.Aurore. Barefoot Lady just getting fourth ahead of Beatrice Aurore.

:26:58. > :27:04.Followed there by Law Of The Range and then Emulous on the near side.

:27:04. > :27:10.Nicely poised, but didn't run on. Dysphonia and Nahrain have gone to

:27:10. > :27:13.the line together. Then follows the grey filly, Clinical. Then I Love

:27:13. > :27:18.Me and Rhythm Of Light and then a long, long gap to the remaining

:27:18. > :27:26.runner. Chachamaidee, that was costly at the start. She missed the

:27:26. > :27:35.break. She missed it badly. A neck was the officially winning margin.

:27:35. > :27:42.Jovality has got it. Jovality owned by Princess Haya of Jordan and

:27:42. > :27:52.husband, shake moment a happy man for his wife. -- Sheikh Mohammed a

:27:52. > :27:55.

:27:55. > :28:01.happy man for his wife. We'll check the time there. This was a filly

:28:01. > :28:11.who always had good credentials. She won last year of course and the

:28:11. > :28:17.

:28:17. > :28:20.distances are a neck and one length. Time 1.38.37. We'll look at the

:28:20. > :28:24.start and see why Chachamaidee missed the break. It could be she

:28:24. > :28:28.was put Ofaraby the filly next to her, and banged her head against

:28:28. > :28:32.the front of the stalls and almost in a false-start movement and it

:28:32. > :28:34.may be that Chachamaidee was distracted. You'll see Law Of The

:28:34. > :28:40.Range gets a real flyer and Chachamaidee just stands there and

:28:40. > :28:44.takes a few strides to get going. In the end, actually, she has come

:28:44. > :28:47.with a withering late run and hard to say whether it actually has made

:28:47. > :28:51.the difference, because she is on the bridle and she is close enough

:28:51. > :28:55.and you pick it up here and only a length or level with the winner

:28:55. > :29:00.actually, who is this side. She is a filly. She is probably highly

:29:00. > :29:05.strung and obviously you would notice, if you go back to the start,

:29:05. > :29:08.when she was in the stalls next to her, on her off side, there is

:29:08. > :29:14.nothing. The junction of the two stalls. There wasn't a horse next

:29:14. > :29:18.to her. She only had the horse on her near side and possibly that's

:29:18. > :29:23.one of the reasons why she has missed the kick and the other being

:29:23. > :29:28.that Tom Queally didn't want her to jump too quick and overdid it a

:29:28. > :29:33.little, because she is such a free- going filly and he got her settled

:29:33. > :29:38.beautifully, but this Jovality, who is a filly you would have to think,

:29:38. > :29:45.would want further than this mile and got to the line really strongly.

:29:45. > :29:50.There you can see Princess Haya, going to lead her winner in.

:29:50. > :30:00.Princess Haya a great equestrian. She was the first woman from the

:30:00. > :30:10.Middle East to compete in the Olympic Games. Here leading in her

:30:10. > :30:24.

:30:24. > :30:29.saying about Chachamaidee, no doubt Tom Queally did want to - as he

:30:29. > :30:34.said, might have overdone it and if you look back through the records

:30:34. > :30:37.you will see that she's frequently been steadied at the start, which

:30:37. > :30:43.is exactly what he was trying to do. But as I say, just slightly

:30:43. > :30:47.overdone. Then went there very, very quickly and the run petered

:30:47. > :30:53.out. But this filly, good to see her back in the winners' enclosure,

:30:53. > :30:56.she is a quality filly. No doubt about that. It's a sign she's

:30:56. > :31:01.recaptured that promise she showed as a three-year-old.

:31:02. > :31:06.She's a high-class racehorse, that's for sure. Let's look at the

:31:06. > :31:16.full details now on this Windsor Forest Stakes, our second race on

:31:16. > :31:35.

:31:35. > :31:45.this performance. Giving this filly plenty of attention. She's a filly

:31:45. > :31:45.

:31:45. > :31:52.by Cape Cross, has been such a good sire. Sire of really outstanding

:31:52. > :31:59.horses. This is a good winner, that's for sure.

:31:59. > :32:03.In this new winners' enclosure, possibly not new, but certainly new

:32:03. > :32:09.layout, let's put it that way. Rishi has the winning trainer.

:32:09. > :32:13.Here I am with John Gosden. You must have been worried in the

:32:13. > :32:18.closing stages. Probably short for the mile, you know, and we have had

:32:18. > :32:22.to wait for her to come right in June. She has a lot of tenacity. I

:32:22. > :32:26.respect Henry's filly, who is very fast, but I thought if we can be in

:32:26. > :32:29.the right place we might outstay her. A thrilling tpoerpance. She's

:32:29. > :32:34.come on -- performance. She's giving you options with distances
