Day 3, Part 2

:01:00. > :01:04.Ascot and it's started to rain. There's a very chilly wind, but the

:01:04. > :01:09.wind was very much in the tail and behind Princess Highway who came

:01:09. > :01:11.home in front of the Ribblesdale Stakes ahead of The Fugue and

:01:12. > :01:16.Shirocco Star, Momentary for the Queen was disappointing towards the

:01:16. > :01:23.back of the field. Vow similarly disappointing but Princess Highway

:01:24. > :01:27.will now go for if Irish Oaks as will the third horse home, Shirocco

:01:27. > :01:37.Star. The jockey said if the ground would have been better he would

:01:37. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:53.have had a better chance with but it's a big thing to come here

:01:53. > :01:57.and win the Ribblesdale. A very prestigious Group 2 race, she'll

:01:57. > :02:02.step up to Group 1 class and looks well capable of it. At the moment,

:02:02. > :02:08.you would have to say she's the best mile and a half three-year-old

:02:08. > :02:18.filly about after that performance. I would imagine her being by Street

:02:18. > :02:22.Cry, when the ground gets quicker, she'll even get that bit better.

:02:22. > :02:32.really isn't terribly nice here right now. So let's have a look at

:02:32. > :02:32.

:02:32. > :03:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds

:03:45. > :03:51.some pictures of when it was a bit Glory being saddled up there. Aidan

:03:51. > :03:58.making the final adjustments to the gert. We'll see Fame And Glory in

:03:58. > :04:07.all his glory in the paddock after paying a visit to Suzie Perry. --

:04:07. > :04:12.Guru-Murthy. 16 years and 30 years at the racecourse, time for other

:04:12. > :04:16.things. What made you want to be a groundsman? I fell into it

:04:16. > :04:21.accidentally. Came out the Army, had a few little jobs and sort of,

:04:21. > :04:25.my wife's uncle was a manager of Sandown Park at the time, I was

:04:25. > :04:32.looking for work and it just went in that way. Did you have horses

:04:32. > :04:36.that were racing? Not at the time, no. After you've been around it for

:04:36. > :04:41.years, you fall in love with the game really, you meet very

:04:41. > :04:47.interesting people. Like? The Queen, for instance. You've met the Queen?

:04:47. > :04:51.I've met the Queen. The Queen mum. You know. When I came here, the

:04:51. > :04:59.Queen mum said to me, I'm glad you're here, you've come to join

:04:59. > :05:02.the family, so that was quite nice. The downside is the winter time

:05:02. > :05:05.when it's cold and miserable, frosty and foggy and you like to

:05:05. > :05:12.stay in bed sometimes. So you are retiring at the end of June which

:05:12. > :05:17.is very soon? Indeed, yes. Is this a joyous moment or will it be

:05:17. > :05:22.tinged with sadness to leave behind what's been an incredible career.

:05:22. > :05:25.won't be sad, but there are things I will miss in it obviously like

:05:25. > :05:30.Royal, champions day and things like that. Quite looking forward to

:05:31. > :05:34.it. The next stage of my life, play golf, spend time with my wife.

:05:34. > :05:39.Sounds good. Yes, we do spend time together but she was working all

:05:39. > :05:43.the time, so there's not enough hours in the day to enjoy life so

:05:43. > :05:48.we are going to enjoy life for a few years. You could be dead

:05:48. > :05:55.tomorrow! Thanks for that! I look forward to that!

:05:55. > :06:00.Cheery thought from Gilly who retires from Ascot after being here

:06:00. > :06:04.for 16 years. The ground here is superb and with the rebuilding of

:06:04. > :06:08.the racecourse, so much has changed. There were worries about the new

:06:08. > :06:13.course when it was laid but it's fantastic. It's been re-aligned,

:06:13. > :06:18.the whole racecourse and, of course, they put in a lot of gravel

:06:18. > :06:23.underneath that. Is why the straight course is always a little

:06:23. > :06:27.bit faster than the round course because it's got a lot of drainage

:06:27. > :06:30.now. Every in67 of the course will be covered by the runners in the

:06:30. > :06:40.Gold Cup. Let's check the field with Jim.

:06:40. > :07:11.

:07:11. > :07:17.Here they are, the runners and fascinating Gold Cup. The umbrellas

:07:17. > :07:22.are up everywhere. It's raining heavily now. The favourite is Fame

:07:22. > :07:30.And Glory. He's opened up as a strong favourite. This weather at

:07:30. > :07:34.the moment who, will it suit and who won't it suit? A few technical

:07:34. > :07:38.problems here because of the weather. We'll get you the betting

:07:38. > :07:42.details in a moment. In this, we have a representative from the John

:07:42. > :07:47.Ox Yard and what a trainer he's been? Yes, this rain won't help him

:07:47. > :07:51.because they wanted the firm ground for Saddler's Rock. I would think

:07:51. > :07:55.that this rain we are having is just going to scupper their chances

:07:55. > :08:01.of winning the race. But of course, he'll have to take his chance and

:08:01. > :08:11.they'll still be hopeful. The best horse that John has trained in his

:08:11. > :08:16.

:08:16. > :08:20.life was Sea The Stars who won a four-timer. Johnny Murtagh's ridden

:08:20. > :08:30.the Gold Cup five times. Mick Fitzgerald's been over to Ireland

:08:30. > :08:32.

:08:32. > :08:35.to find out more about the horse. Recent success still echoes around

:08:35. > :08:42.this yard. Sea The Stars is going to win the

:08:42. > :08:46.Guineas and Derby double... Ridden by the strength of trainer

:08:46. > :08:54.John Ox. Sea The Stars, a horse of a lifetime. She's going to go on

:08:54. > :09:03.and win the Arc. Can this fella deliver yet more Group 1 glory? Can

:09:03. > :09:07.you? Another win for Ireland and John Ox. Here he is. His tongue

:09:07. > :09:14.hanging out. Always very relaxed. Quiet horse. This fellow is good

:09:14. > :09:19.when he goes the distance. He just lobs along. A lovely mover, a good

:09:19. > :09:23.ride. Easy to ride and it looks like it's going to be quite a

:09:23. > :09:28.competitive race this year but I think he's there or thereabouts.

:09:28. > :09:33.It's a tried and tested Gold Cup forminging. John and Johnny won

:09:33. > :09:38.with Enzeli 13 years ago. This time, Murtagh is all too familiar with

:09:38. > :09:43.the favourite and defending champion, Fame And Glory.

:09:43. > :09:50.Fame And Glory is a very good horse, been running behind Sea The Stars

:09:50. > :09:54.all his career and I always thought he'd step up to the cup distances.

:09:54. > :10:00.Saddler's Rock would love good-to- firm, a bit of ease will help Fame

:10:00. > :10:04.And Glory which could swing it his way. Johnny Murtagh, done both

:10:04. > :10:10.circles, started with you, left, came back, went to Ballydoyle and

:10:10. > :10:13.is now back with you? He got spoilt in Ballydoyle winning 39 Group 1

:10:13. > :10:18.races in two-and-a-half years or whatever it was. Unbelievable. But

:10:18. > :10:24.he always goes out thinking he's going to win, you know. He's always

:10:24. > :10:29.been that way? Yes. I've known him for a long time and you knew when

:10:29. > :10:35.he was here that he was always like that? He was. He's full of optimism

:10:35. > :10:45.which is important in a jockey. He's very honest. His word is his

:10:45. > :10:50.bond and that's his big thing, you know. He's just a true gentleman.

:10:50. > :10:57.We are in a very privileged position? Yes, here they are now

:10:57. > :11:01.actually coming over the hill. He's quickening away smart. His

:11:02. > :11:07.companions have had enough but he's doing all right. The ground is

:11:07. > :11:15.testing enough. It's a bit softer than he likes but he needs to work.

:11:15. > :11:19.You are happy? Yes. He's like Hannibal out the A-Team and I'm

:11:19. > :11:24.like Murdoch. I know by the way he looks at me whether he's happy or

:11:24. > :11:28.not. We are a good team together and it would be great. There's a

:11:28. > :11:37.lot of staff here who've been here since I've been here and, as a team,

:11:37. > :11:40.you know, it's more like a family than a work place.

:11:41. > :11:45.The wink from Saddler's Rock. I'm afraid the vain falling heavily now,

:11:45. > :11:50.and with every drop, his chance lessens because he sticks his

:11:50. > :11:56.tongue out at it. He doesn't like it much I'm afraid when it's

:11:56. > :12:00.raining which is a great shame. Johnny Murtagh will give him all

:12:00. > :12:03.the assistance from that saddle. He's ridden 38 Royal Ascot winners.

:12:04. > :12:08.Given that everybody's sitting there just on one winner so far,

:12:08. > :12:12.the race to be leading jockey this week is still wide-open. Johnny

:12:12. > :12:17.could yet do it and how much it would mean to him to twin Gold Cup

:12:17. > :12:21.for the sixth time. Saddler's Rock getting geeed up, has his tongue

:12:21. > :12:24.right over the bit. Horses don't know what umbrellas are and

:12:24. > :12:30.everyone has one now. See how high that one is there, that would be

:12:30. > :12:35.why that horse was ducking away from hit. Yes, I think you are

:12:35. > :12:44.right. They haven't seen him before. There is an honour's board with all

:12:44. > :12:54.the winners on it and obviously the name that stands out most of it is

:12:54. > :13:12.

:13:12. > :13:16.Yeatse. - tsh Yeates. The favourite paddock and parading here. Here is

:13:16. > :13:19.number one, Askar Tau. He's got the head gear on. It will be a shock if

:13:19. > :13:24.he won today. He's got a lot of ability but probably not up to the

:13:24. > :13:27.class of the top horses in this race, the likes of Fame And Glory.

:13:27. > :13:36.Bridge of Gold, similar comments apply to him. Will find it

:13:36. > :13:43.difficult. Beautifully turned out, his mane plated. Caucus, again an

:13:43. > :13:48.outsider. Here comes the reigning champ, Fame And Glory, Pat Keating,

:13:48. > :13:55.travelling head lad from the Irish stable. He has the rug on at the

:13:55. > :14:04.moment. Hopefully get a look at him when the rug is off. Opinion Poll

:14:05. > :14:08.from Godolphin. He'll be ridden by Barzalona. Opinion Poll, that's

:14:08. > :14:11.being ridden by Frankie Dettori now. Colour Vision won at Kempton last

:14:11. > :14:16.time out. They have the rugs on at the moment and Colour Vision used

:14:16. > :14:20.to be trained by Mark Johnston, the horse behind Colour Vision is Gulf

:14:20. > :14:25.of Naples, also trained by Mark Johnson, so it's all linking

:14:25. > :14:32.together very nicely. Horse nine, the last one to look at is

:14:32. > :14:35.Saddler's Rock. You saw the feature on him, Mick Fitzgerald going to

:14:35. > :14:40.Ireland to see Saddler's Rock and John Oxx. The rain that's fallen

:14:40. > :14:45.here today is definitely not in his favour. He has a lot of class

:14:45. > :14:50.though. To be honest, it's almost a comical

:14:50. > :14:57.sight here because everybody's huddled together under the

:14:57. > :15:02.umbrellas trying to share them. Partners in Fame And Glory. I want

:15:02. > :15:05.to have a chat with you, is that all right? Yes. How are things with

:15:05. > :15:10.the horse, things all right? Aidan seems to think he's great, better

:15:10. > :15:14.than last year. If better than last year, he'll win it easily. That's

:15:14. > :15:18.what we hope. The rain won't affect him? No, Jamie said the ground was

:15:18. > :15:26.OK from the last race, so that's not too much of a concern.

:15:26. > :15:30.Fantastic. Jamie's just come into the middle of the huddle. The sun's

:15:30. > :15:35.trying to come out. I think we'll get a rainbow any minute now. The

:15:35. > :15:42.sun is coming out. The other big huddle is for Sheikh Mohammed's

:15:42. > :15:45.gang. Two runners from Godolphin, Saeed bin Suroor and Frankie

:15:45. > :15:48.Dettori. They've got Colour Vision. Princess Highway you can see in

:15:48. > :15:54.pink and tangerine. Beautiful outfit today with Sheikh Mohammed

:15:54. > :16:02.and he'd dearly love to win the Gold Cup again. Barzalona to our

:16:02. > :16:05.right. He Juan so well in this race last year. Yesterday I talked to

:16:05. > :16:15.Princess Highway. So I wonder if I might be able to talk to Sheikh

:16:15. > :16:22.

:16:22. > :16:29.Mohammed. Would it be all right to the horse was second in the race

:16:29. > :16:34.and he won the other day and both of them have a chance. Obviously

:16:34. > :16:41.the favourite has a chance also. He's the one to beat. Can I ask you

:16:41. > :16:47.what you felt about Frankel's performance? That was great. He's a

:16:47. > :16:52.very good horse. You will interest to try and tempt them to come to

:16:52. > :17:01.the Dubai World Cup. And your wife had a lovely winner yesterday.

:17:01. > :17:11.She's relaxed now! Exactly! Now we need a winner for you, Sir. Sheik

:17:11. > :17:15.

:17:15. > :17:18.Mohammed with two runners in this your new restaurant? Advertising

:17:18. > :17:24.myself. My new restaurant in Chelsea. Are you going to win this?

:17:25. > :17:30.I will do my best. If you win, I get a free meal!

:17:30. > :17:34.I'm on the right one. He switched from Opinion Poll to Colour Vision.

:17:34. > :17:38.Is he on the right one? I don't know with this ground. I would

:17:38. > :17:43.think possibly he's not now because of this rain. I would have thought

:17:43. > :17:48.he was, until the rain came, then I would think possibly not. Opinion

:17:48. > :17:52.Poll has won on quicker ground this year. He is about to get on Colour

:17:52. > :17:58.Vision now. What about his chances? He was impressive on the all-

:17:58. > :18:03.weather laths time. It was impressive to the eye that day. He

:18:03. > :18:12.looked a really good horse. He had been beaten at Doncaster before

:18:12. > :18:22.that. Number nine, Saddler's Rock. He's the last crop of Saddler's

:18:22. > :18:28.Wells. He looks like Istabrak. You rode

:18:28. > :18:33.him? That horse is smaller. He's got bandages on. You are so edgy,

:18:33. > :18:40.ever since Shirocco Star at Epsom. Well, you got it wrong, didn't you.

:18:40. > :18:46.OK, who's going to win the Gold Cup? Who's got it wrong - oh, Fame

:18:46. > :18:50.And Glory. Go on, you say it to the people. I like Fame And Glory. To

:18:50. > :18:55.me, today, it looks like a penalty kick for him today because of the

:18:55. > :19:04.weather. It has come and helped him. Although they don't want it too

:19:04. > :19:11.soft themselves. It is more of a hindrance.

:19:11. > :19:19.Best outsider, in a word or two? Would you call Saddler's Rock an

:19:19. > :19:29.outsideer?. Fame And Glory, we are both agreed will win the Gold Cup.

:19:29. > :19:33.

:19:33. > :19:40.is very lightly raced, considering he is getting on a bit now, at six

:19:40. > :19:46.years old. Trained by Magnusson and riden by

:19:46. > :19:54.Moore. Caucus, William Buick is on board.

:19:54. > :19:59.The pink colours. They've had good stayers, including Duncan who won

:19:59. > :20:06.the St Leger. This is Fame And Glory. He's 5-4 on favourite. Was

:20:06. > :20:11.top class over a mile-and-a-half. Was second in the Derby to Sea The

:20:11. > :20:16.Stars. He is now the supreme stayer. He sets the standard. Everybody

:20:16. > :20:22.else trying to catch him, including Opinion Poll, who is consistent and

:20:22. > :20:28.he's classy as well. Barzalona takes the race on him. That means

:20:28. > :20:32.that Frankie Dettori is on board. He was very impressive last time.

:20:32. > :20:41.He could be the one that's improving and they don't know how

:20:41. > :20:45.good he'll be. Gulf Of Naples, represents John John. Then back to

:20:45. > :20:50.Saddler's Rock and Johnny Murtagh. We know all about this horse,

:20:50. > :21:00.having shown you the feature from John Oxx's yard. The rain possibly

:21:00. > :21:13.

:21:13. > :21:17.line. It's all about this race - the stamina. The Gold Cup, it tests

:21:17. > :21:22.a horse's balance, more than anything tests its ability to keep

:21:22. > :21:29.gallops. Nehaam is the one we had not seen.

:21:29. > :21:34.Trained by John Gosden. Here we go. This is the big one.

:21:34. > :21:44.This is the reason that everybody is here today, at Royal Ascot, on

:21:44. > :21:49.

:21:49. > :21:55.racing. For over 200 years, we have gathered for this distinguished

:21:56. > :22:00.race. Off and running in the Gold Cup.

:22:00. > :22:08.What brings us here? The prestige. The horse racing. The fashion.

:22:08. > :22:17.The winning. Stilettos in muddy earth.

:22:17. > :22:27.The sound of hoofs past the post. He wins his fourth Ascot Gold Cup.

:22:27. > :22:38.

:22:39. > :22:46.It's Ladies' Day, when women, like sunny as those. The umbrellas are

:22:46. > :22:50.up. The rain is easing off. It is a colder day down there. Everybody is

:22:50. > :22:58.jostling trying to get to the front of the queue. Most of that money is

:22:58. > :23:08.going on Fame And Glory. It certainly is. There has been

:23:08. > :23:21.

:23:21. > :23:25.bidding to win Group 1 races at two, three, four and six. Isn't that a

:23:25. > :23:31.hallmark of consistentsy in a racehorse. Very few can do that

:23:31. > :23:38.was a horse, as a three-year-old, he ran in all the top races. Of

:23:38. > :23:46.course, he's an animal which makes him a stayer. That is why he's

:23:46. > :23:52.running in all these long-distance races. The stable who had Yeats,

:23:52. > :23:56.he's taken the shoes of Yeats, winning last year and he's hot

:23:56. > :24:06.favourite to win again. Who's to know - next year he might be

:24:06. > :24:16.

:24:16. > :24:20.favourite to win this race again. Jamie Spencer looking nice and

:24:20. > :24:26.relaxed. Johnny Murtagh has arrived at the start with Saddler's Rock,

:24:26. > :24:31.who was a pretty progressive horse last season and has beaten Opinion

:24:31. > :24:35.Poll in the Doncaster cup. As a three-year-old, which is a

:24:35. > :24:39.performance you would think is good for a three-year-old to do that. He

:24:39. > :24:43.was getting a lot of weight, but it is weight for age. For a horse to

:24:43. > :24:49.be mature enough to take on all those stayers, it takes a lot of

:24:49. > :24:55.doing. He's had the extra year now to develop, strengthen and to just

:24:56. > :25:02.get that little bit stronger mentally and physically.

:25:02. > :25:12.I was talking about Johnny Murtagh having won five times, Piggot won

:25:12. > :25:18.

:25:18. > :25:25.it 11 times. Barzalona looking for Colour Vision, originally we

:25:25. > :25:33.thought Opinion Poll would be the one he'd be on. The ground change

:25:33. > :25:38.could possibly change his mind. The horses lining up very rapidly. Fame

:25:38. > :25:44.And Glory one of the last to go in. Let's join Jim for the Gold Cup.

:25:44. > :25:53.The last three going forward now for this press tedgeous race with a

:25:53. > :25:57.total of �350,000 -- prestigious. Not the richest of the week in

:25:57. > :26:03.terms of prize money, but the one with the most history. Fame And

:26:03. > :26:06.Glory going forward now. Frankie is in n the stalls. Has he chosen the

:26:06. > :26:12.right one? Switched from Opinion Poll to Colour Vision. Last one

:26:12. > :26:16.going forward now. Set for the Gold Cup. Ready. Racing in the Gold Cup

:26:16. > :26:21.of 2012 and on the inside, Opinion Poll is one of the first away. Out

:26:21. > :26:27.there too in the early stages, Fame And Glory. A bit wider out is

:26:27. > :26:35.Colour Vision and Gulf of Naples is widest of all. The two greys on the

:26:35. > :26:40.outside of the field. Behind them is Saddler's Rock. Further back in

:26:40. > :26:45.the field is Nehaam. Followed by Caucus giving them a fair start

:26:45. > :26:52.with Bridge Of Gold. At the tail is Askar Tau. They've gone through the

:26:52. > :26:56.first furlong and a half. To the front is Gulf of Naples. They're

:26:56. > :26:59.dawdling in these testing conditions today. At least by two-

:26:59. > :27:04.and-a-half lengths or so. Colour Vision in second, a similar

:27:04. > :27:09.distance away in third is Saddler's Rock. Half a length away, Nehaam.

:27:09. > :27:14.Settling in fifth position on the inner is Fame And Glory, last

:27:14. > :27:19.year's winner. Then is Opinion Poll. Followed by Bridge Of Gold, tucked

:27:19. > :27:23.away behind them. Caucus on the outside of runners. Going very,

:27:23. > :27:28.very slow here as they have two miles left to travel. Dawdling

:27:28. > :27:33.along in front is Gulf of Naples. Leads by a length and a half to in

:27:33. > :27:36.second Colour Vision on the inside of Nehaam. In fourth position is

:27:36. > :27:40.Saddler's Rock who won't settle. Pulling for his head there on the

:27:40. > :27:45.inside of Caucus in the pink jacket. A length and a half in advance of

:27:45. > :27:48.Opinion Poll, followed by Fame And Glory. Two lengths further back,

:27:48. > :27:52.Askar Tau. At the tail of the field is Bridge Of Gold. Ten lengths

:27:52. > :27:57.covers the field. They have a circuit remaining and the leader is

:27:58. > :28:07.Gulf of Naples. He's been out there for a fair way now, leads by two

:28:07. > :28:13.lengths. Nehaam half a length away. Colour Vision. Caucus in the pink

:28:13. > :28:16.jacket has moved up on the outside of Saddler's Rock. A length in

:28:16. > :28:21.advance of Opinion Poll with the white cap, then Fame And Glory on

:28:21. > :28:26.the inside. Just inclined to take a tug in the first half mile of the

:28:26. > :28:32.race. They're two lengths to Askar Tau. Tout back is Bridge Of Gold.

:28:32. > :28:39.They leave the mile and a half behind them in the Gold Cup. The

:28:39. > :28:44.leader here is Gulf of Naples. Nehaam. On the inner is Colour

:28:44. > :28:49.Vision. Half a length further back is Saddler's Rock. A length to

:28:49. > :28:52.Opinion Poll the outside. Fame And Glory still third last. From Askar

:28:52. > :28:57.Tau and Bridge Of Gold. All the time they are running downhill as

:28:57. > :29:03.they leave the mile behind them and get to Swindley Bottom. Gulf of

:29:03. > :29:07.Naples still the leader out in front. Nehaam. Third is Colour

:29:07. > :29:11.Vision. Fourth is Caucus with the pink cap. Saddler's Rock is

:29:11. > :29:14.striding out better now. He's appreciating the increase in tempo,

:29:14. > :29:22.followed then by Opinion Poll. Glory gloir glory is back in the

:29:22. > :29:30.field. -- Fame And Glory. Askar Tau. The rank outsider then, Bridge Of

:29:31. > :29:36.Gold. They follow this stiff uphill climb. It's Gulf of Naples. Just

:29:36. > :29:40.the leader from Nehaam. Paul Hanagan the champion jockey on the

:29:40. > :29:44.outer. Frankie Dettori on Colour Vision. Followed by Saddler's Rock

:29:44. > :29:50.on the inside. Further back in the field, Caucus. Followed then by

:29:50. > :29:53.Fame And Glory with about eight lengths to make up. Starting to

:29:53. > :29:57.improve slightly from Opinion Poll and Bridge Of Gold, Askar Tau.

:29:57. > :30:02.Coming up towards the half mile marker now in the Gold Cup. On the

:30:02. > :30:06.inside, it's Gulf of Naples being tackled in earnest by Nehaam.

:30:06. > :30:10.Colour Vision followed by Saddler's Rock and Caucus. Fame And Glory.

:30:10. > :30:15.Still six lengths off the pace, followed by Opinion Poll. Bridge Of

:30:16. > :30:20.Gold. Out the back is Askar Tau. On the turn for the home Gold Cup now.

:30:20. > :30:24.Gulf of Naples on the inside tackled by Nehaam. Colour Vision

:30:24. > :30:27.getting into the clear. Two or three lengths away. Fame And Glory

:30:27. > :30:33.now taking to the outside, starting to run on well. Two furlongs left

:30:33. > :30:37.to go. On the far side, it's Gulf of Naples. Nehaam in the centre.

:30:37. > :30:40.Colour Vision coming for glory. Two lengths to Opinion Poll running on

:30:40. > :30:45.well. Saddler's Rock. Fame And Glory is running behind. A half

:30:45. > :30:50.furlong left in the Gold Cup and it's Opinion Poll now pouncing with

:30:50. > :30:56.Colour Vision, but they're fighting it out. On the inside, Colour

:30:56. > :31:06.Vision is doing his best and Colour Vision's got up to win for

:31:06. > :31:20.

:31:20. > :31:30.Frankie Dettori, the Ascot specialist, has won the Gold Cup!

:31:30. > :31:35.

:31:35. > :31:44.What a boost for him! Very, very tight for second is. Frankie

:31:44. > :31:49.Dettori, who's been fighting so hard to consolidate his position as

:31:49. > :31:54.number one at Godolphin's ridden an inspired race to win the Gold Cup

:31:54. > :32:01.on Colour Vision. Owned by Godolphin, train bid Saeed bin

:32:02. > :32:04.Suroor, this gelding. There's Saeed. The gelding by rainbow quest. What

:32:05. > :32:09.a performance! Very, very tight for second and we are waiting for the

:32:09. > :32:16.judges' verdict here. Let's have a look ourselves.

:32:16. > :32:26.Very, very tight here. In the centre, opinion poll's just got

:32:26. > :32:32.second on the evidence of that. In fifth is Askar Tau who came from

:32:32. > :32:36.last for George Baker. Then Nehaam. Fame And Glory had too much ground

:32:36. > :32:40.to make up. He was never really that pap hi, I wouldn't have

:32:40. > :32:46.thought, Jamie Spencer. There's the klaxon call. The stewards are

:32:46. > :32:56.looking at something. There's a steward's inquiry. Caucus is behind

:32:56. > :33:02.

:33:02. > :33:09.them. Now, officially second Opinion Poll. The time 4.42.05 but

:33:09. > :33:14.Frankie Dettori, the man who in 1996 went through the card at Ascot

:33:14. > :33:18.riding seven out of seven winners, a track that he's always loved.

:33:18. > :33:27.Let's see if we can spot the interference here. Colour Vision

:33:27. > :33:30.now starting to come out there. Just giving Opinion Poll two bumps

:33:30. > :33:34.there. Just how crucial was that? Has that affected the result?

:33:34. > :33:41.That's what you are saying to yourself and the winning distance

:33:41. > :33:46.is a half length. Two bumps there. The stewards will be looking at

:33:46. > :33:56.this and will be going into the room and hearing what they say as

:33:56. > :34:01.well. Saeed bin Suroor coming back to lead him back. Really good

:34:01. > :34:11.performance. Health and Safety gone out in front of the crowd, Frankie

:34:11. > :34:18.Dettori, with Colour Vision. Let's have another look at the bunking.

:34:18. > :34:23.Frankie is coming out there. And twice you can see there. And just

:34:23. > :34:30.knocked Opinion Poll off balance, no doubt about that. The first bump

:34:30. > :34:36.certainly did knock him off balance. Let's have another look. Dettori

:34:36. > :34:41.has the whip in the correct hand. Look what happens. All of a sudden,

:34:41. > :34:51.Colour Vision veers over left and knocks into Opinion Poll and does

:34:51. > :34:53.

:34:53. > :34:56.it again. So there's two very, very conspicuous bumps there. And it's

:34:56. > :35:00.the -- the thing in Dettori's favour though is that the distance

:35:00. > :35:10.is a half length. If it would have been a nose or a short head, it

:35:10. > :35:15.might be very, very, very awkward all round.

:35:15. > :35:19.Whatever happens, Sheikh Mohammed's won the Gold Cup and I suspect that

:35:19. > :35:23.Frankie Dettori will keep this race because he's not guilty of

:35:23. > :35:28.dangerous riding, he's not guilty of improper riding, he may be

:35:28. > :35:33.guilty of careless riding in which case the steward also say did he

:35:33. > :35:36.take reasonable steps to avoid interference. Willie, we see

:35:36. > :35:42.interference every day of the week. How bad do you think that was and

:35:42. > :35:46.will it affect the result? It's not that bad really. Take the ground

:35:46. > :35:50.conditions, you take the length of the race, the horses are getting

:35:50. > :35:55.very tired. Frankie did have his stick in the left hand. He used the

:35:55. > :35:59.stick in the left. He put it down, pulled it through, used it, stick

:35:59. > :36:03.in the right hand twice, maybe he hit the horse once too many times

:36:03. > :36:08.with the right hand before the stick went down and stopped riding

:36:08. > :36:14.with his stick. Luckily for Frankie, I would say, is that he has won by

:36:14. > :36:24.half a length. If he'd won by a head or a short head, there are

:36:24. > :36:26.

:36:26. > :36:32.grounds for places to be switched. May it please your Majesty, Royal

:36:32. > :36:36.Highnesses, Lords, ladies and gentlemen. The fanfare announces

:36:36. > :36:40.the arrival of the horse first- past-the-post in this year's Gold

:36:40. > :36:46.Cup. He is Colour Vision, trained by Saeed bin Suroor, owned by

:36:46. > :36:56.Godolphin and ridden by the most successful jockey in the history of

:36:56. > :36:57.

:36:57. > :37:04.Royal Ascot, Frankie Dettori! He is indeed. Embracing Sheikh

:37:04. > :37:11.Mohammed, his employer. Sheikh Mohammed has both the first and

:37:11. > :37:18.second but with different stables. The winner is trained by Saeed bin

:37:18. > :37:27.Suroor. The second trained by Zarooni. They're both Godolphin but,

:37:27. > :37:33.as you can imagine, quite a lot of rivalry generated by that situation.

:37:33. > :37:41.And this is something that will have them on a knife edge. That's

:37:41. > :37:46.for sure. Frankie Dettori, very important to him. This is the time

:37:46. > :37:53.again. 4.42.05. But very important to him that he can hold on to this

:37:53. > :38:00.race. When it's a half length, the balance is tipped in your favour,

:38:00. > :38:04.no doubt about that. That's the situation here. A nervous few

:38:04. > :38:10.moments for Frankie Dettori here, but you can see the celebration and

:38:10. > :38:13.the relief on his face when he past the line first. Having made the

:38:13. > :38:17.decision to switch from Opinion Poll and Colour Vision, nothing

:38:17. > :38:21.would have been more galing than to see his stable mate come by him and

:38:21. > :38:24.snatch the Gold Cup. But for Frankie, he did, in terms of timing

:38:24. > :38:30.on this horse, and bear in mind this was one of three four-year-

:38:30. > :38:35.olds in a race, so a younger horse open to more, this horse had the

:38:35. > :38:37.potential to improve. A worbld on Fame And Glory, desperately

:38:37. > :38:41.disappointing there, something must have gone wrong. The slow early

:38:41. > :38:46.pace didn't help, but when Jamie Spencer got him clear, he never

:38:46. > :38:51.picked up, and you would think he may be injured? At a furlong and a

:38:51. > :38:56.half, his action wasn't very good. I don't think it really will have

:38:56. > :38:59.been the ground that would have been the reason why he shortened

:38:59. > :39:06.his stride, but he didn't look very happy in the last furlong. Seeing

:39:06. > :39:09.here the celebration shots of those involved with Colour Vision and

:39:09. > :39:13.Saeed bin Suroor equally under pressure. The Godolphin camp work

:39:13. > :39:17.like this, like a football team on rowcation. There's always pressure

:39:17. > :39:22.and even if you have been the number one guy, you are still

:39:22. > :39:24.having to prove yourself to the boss, who is with Rishi now.

:39:24. > :39:27.Congratulations Sir, you have won the Gold Cup whatever happens now.

:39:27. > :39:32.Have you had a word with your jockeys and do you have any idea

:39:32. > :39:37.what happened in the closing stages? Whatever happened, I think

:39:37. > :39:41.to bring horses and to finish first and second is a great thing. The

:39:41. > :39:45.Gold Cup, you have to wait the whole year to prepare a horse and

:39:45. > :39:48.to come here and even the second one ran very, very well also.

:39:48. > :39:54.It's a race you have done particularly well and Godolphin

:39:54. > :40:00.have done particularly well in over the years. What emotions were you

:40:00. > :40:04.going through at the final stages when Opinion Poll and Colour Vision

:40:05. > :40:09.battled it out, Gulf of Naples as well? Well, yes, just finishing

:40:09. > :40:12.together, you know, your blood boils. And the joy in watching

:40:12. > :40:17.obviously the established Frankie Dettori and the young Mickael

:40:17. > :40:21.Barzalona going at it in the closing stages? Yes, two great

:40:21. > :40:28.jockeys. I mean Frankie's great and this year, the young man's coming

:40:28. > :40:32.up also. Two improving horses. Thank you for talking to us. Thank

:40:32. > :40:39.you. Just looking at Godolphin's success

:40:39. > :40:45.in this race. They have lots of former winners of the Gold Cup. And

:40:45. > :40:50.in terms of those horses, Mick Kinane rode two of them. Frankie

:40:50. > :40:54.was on board one of the winners. Looking at the closing stages, you

:40:54. > :40:57.will see Frankie had his whip in his right hand. As he smacks Colour

:40:57. > :41:02.Vision, the horse veers to the right, bumps into Opinion Poll

:41:02. > :41:05.who's then come plaitly thrown off his balance and almost goes

:41:05. > :41:12.sideways. Mickael Barzalona is struggling to have the room to use

:41:12. > :41:19.his own whip. So did Frankie Dettori do enough to keep his horse

:41:19. > :41:28.straight? Mickael Barzalona is going to be assisted in terms of

:41:28. > :41:31.translating. Mickael Barzalona's English isn't fluid yet. I hit,

:41:31. > :41:35.just started to run around a bit, just been running two-and-a-half

:41:35. > :41:40.miles so getting tired on the round. I tapped with my right, he shifted

:41:41. > :41:44.to the left a bit. I brushed Mr Mickael Barzalona for the stride,

:41:44. > :41:49.corrected him straightaway and at the end he won nicely by half a

:41:49. > :41:57.length, but the horse were very tired towards the end and running

:41:57. > :42:07.around a bit. Could you explain to Mr Mickael Barzalona what Frankie

:42:07. > :42:14.

:42:14. > :42:20.Dettori just said? ( she translates) Nothing more to say?

:42:20. > :42:30.Please could you wait outside for a minute. Mr Mickael Barzalona you

:42:30. > :42:35.

:42:35. > :42:37.can go. So the stipendiary stewards and the stewards on duty today

:42:37. > :42:42.examining the different angles of this interference and listening to

:42:42. > :42:46.text plan nation of Frankie. There's no doubt Frankie's caused

:42:46. > :42:49.the interference here, but he said I've given him a couple of bumps

:42:49. > :42:53.and gosh, they've ended up really the first four not pulling far

:42:53. > :42:58.clear of the others and that is the result of the steady pace earlier

:42:58. > :43:02.on and the horses fin nirking the Gold Cup better than they do. --

:43:02. > :43:09.finishing. The result's very quick. The result is not going to be

:43:09. > :43:13.changed here. Unaffected. The placings remain

:43:13. > :43:17.unaltered. Colour Vision takes the Gold Cup. Sheikh Mohammed and the

:43:17. > :43:23.Princess can celebrate. Releaf all round. Frankie Dettori has indeed

:43:23. > :43:29.won the Gold Cup, the sun is shining and the Italian's dismount

:43:29. > :43:34.was not in vein. Congratulations to Mr Saeed bin Suroor, great success.

:43:34. > :43:38.They've all been talking about the time. That is 25 seconds outside

:43:39. > :43:42.the record, so very, very slow. That's why they were crawling

:43:42. > :43:52.earlier. You can see Saddler's Rock pulling hard early and Fame And

:43:52. > :43:59.

:43:59. > :44:03.second time because the result's confirmed. Her Majesty the Queen

:44:03. > :44:08.presents her first trophy of the week and Frankie Dettori is running

:44:08. > :44:12.out from the weighing room to join Sheikh Mohammed and Saeed bin

:44:12. > :44:15.Suroor and the Princess and always Willie dreadful for a jockey when

:44:15. > :44:23.you know you have ridden a great race and done everything you can

:44:23. > :44:29.and you have to wait and survive misses a beat really and there's a

:44:29. > :44:32.period where the stewards could go either way. But I think if it would

:44:32. > :44:35.have been a short head, the stewards might have had grounds to

:44:35. > :44:40.do something but because he won by half a length and he was going away

:44:40. > :44:46.at the finish, that was the reasons their placings remain unaltered.

:44:46. > :44:50.Frankie will be very, very happy having his first winner here at

:44:50. > :44:55.Royal Ascot. A one two for Godolphin, shake mupld comes

:44:55. > :45:02.forward to receive the Gold Cup -- Sheikh Mohammed. Sheikh Mohammed

:45:02. > :45:09.and the Queen have so much shared interest in horse races and so much

:45:09. > :45:14.so that the Sheikh gives the Queen so many yearlings as a gift.

:45:14. > :45:17.Carlton House was last year's one, finished second in the Prince of

:45:17. > :45:23.Wales Stakes. They have much to discuss and Sheikh Mohammed is a

:45:23. > :45:28.great sportsman and he's matched and surpassed in enthusiasm for the

:45:28. > :45:33.game by Frankie Dettori who's deep in discussion with the Princess

:45:33. > :45:38.Royal there. Saeed bin Suroor coming forward. He's such a

:45:38. > :45:48.gentleman. He's so dignified, quite and charming and polite and lovely

:45:48. > :45:55.

:45:55. > :45:58.said that he is the most successful jockey in Ascot history. He is the

:45:58. > :46:03.most successful jockey currently holding a licence. Lester Piggott

:46:03. > :46:06.may have something to say about that! Everybody is aware of the

:46:06. > :46:11.situation he has been in. Like a first-choice striker for football

:46:11. > :46:20.team. His position has been challenged. Hasn't he handled it

:46:20. > :46:26.well? He has. Mike Fernando Torres at Chelsea. He kept getting

:46:26. > :46:32.supplemented. What is the word? He is the sort of guy that needs to be

:46:32. > :46:37.in the public eye. He needs to be riding winners, because he is the

:46:37. > :46:45.sort of character that as soon as his bottom it drops and you get

:46:45. > :46:49.disappointed when things are not going his way. -- his bottom lip

:46:49. > :46:56.drops. And the English crowd loves to see Frankie Dettori riding

:46:56. > :46:59.winners. He will be the happiest man in the weighing room today.

:46:59. > :47:05.Because he has come off the bend and scored the winning goal at the

:47:05. > :47:09.FA Cup. That is what it feels like to home. I think he will have been

:47:09. > :47:13.touched by the reaction of people, so concerned when the rumours were

:47:13. > :47:17.flying around that he might be retiring. That he was somehow

:47:17. > :47:25.sidelined. He will have been really surprised by the warmth of a motion

:47:25. > :47:30.and affection. Let's hear from him now. -- emotion and affection.

:47:30. > :47:34.said they cannot keep you down. I suppose that was a statement.

:47:34. > :47:39.was great. They were both great horses, grid warriors, and it was a

:47:39. > :47:43.hard decision to make. I finish with the best but it was a short

:47:43. > :47:47.margin and I am delighted for the team and for myself as well. It has

:47:47. > :47:51.been a very hard week and I am glad this came up. A great reception

:47:51. > :47:57.when you came back in. A lot of people are on your team. It is

:47:57. > :48:01.great. We have got a great team. It is a great result for us. You are

:48:01. > :48:06.the old dog and there are some new kids on the block. They must have

:48:06. > :48:12.been some extra interment edging out Barcelona in the closing

:48:12. > :48:15.stages? -- extra enjoyment. We are friends but you want to win for

:48:15. > :48:21.yourself. It does not matter who is in the finish with me, you always

:48:21. > :48:26.try to win. Have you proven that you are still the top man?

:48:26. > :48:32.Really? I have to prove it in the next race. This raised has gone now.

:48:32. > :48:39.You are always remembered for the last one. -- this race has gone now.

:48:39. > :48:48.The crowd think you are the top man. Thank you! Well, it would not be

:48:48. > :48:51.Ascot without Frankie Dettori winning. Colour Vision wins. It is

:48:51. > :48:56.one two for the boys in blue, Godolphin.

:48:56. > :49:01.Just fantastic. I think that has made the day. It makes it royal

:49:01. > :49:05.Ascot. The best race of the whole week, the richest race, the most

:49:05. > :49:11.prestigious. And two wins it? Godolphin with Frankie Dettori on

:49:11. > :49:15.board. Fantastic. He has made this week even more special. We will

:49:16. > :49:19.change the Fame And Glory news and what happened to him and the

:49:19. > :49:29.reaction from Aidan O'Brien soon. But we have been enjoying the Gold

:49:29. > :49:58.

:49:59. > :50:03.has come out. Glorious scenes. You have just seen beautiful ladies

:50:03. > :50:08.with wonderful hats. Top milliner, Stephen Jones, it is lovely to see

:50:08. > :50:13.you here. It is lovely to be here, fantastic. You have got a fashion

:50:13. > :50:18.show. What makes a really good at. How do you wear them? With

:50:18. > :50:23.confidence. You have to get used to them. It is not a pair of jeans

:50:23. > :50:25.that you plonk on before you go out. You have to wear them at home,

:50:25. > :50:31.rehearse. They make you feel different, they turn you into a

:50:31. > :50:37.Princess. Thank you! These are some of your models. Please talk us

:50:37. > :50:43.through the designs. She is wearing his black organza hat, a little bit

:50:43. > :50:49.like a buy corn. It does very well with the outfit. Gold braid around

:50:49. > :50:55.the edge of it. Fantastic lines and shapes on her face. Very beautiful.

:50:55. > :50:58.An ice silhouette as well. Absolutely. -- nice silhouette.

:50:58. > :51:04.Hats have been getting bigger. Because of the new guidance is that

:51:04. > :51:08.we should not be wearing fascinators, people have really

:51:09. > :51:12.gone for it and most of the hats have been bigger. That must please

:51:13. > :51:18.you as a milliner. It tested technically be 10 centimetres in

:51:18. > :51:22.the Royal Enclosure. -- it has to be 10 centimetres. Are more women

:51:22. > :51:27.wearing hats? Yes, and more tailoring. A tailored shoulder

:51:27. > :51:31.needs are constructed hat, and the two things go together very well.

:51:31. > :51:40.This says Stephen Jones to me. It is a classic shape, quirky and

:51:40. > :51:47.biddable. Yes, it is a special Diamond Jubilee top hat but with

:51:47. > :51:57.some punk in the bandaging. Punk is really a heritage. You loved that

:51:57. > :51:58.

:51:58. > :52:03.era. Steve Strange back due to start with? Yes, 1000 years ago! I

:52:03. > :52:07.never thought I would still be at Ascot. You are clearly inspired by

:52:07. > :52:15.the 70s feeling. In Britain we have the great classicism of places like

:52:15. > :52:19.Ascot but also the exciting youth movements in our music industry and

:52:19. > :52:23.fashion and culture and the two run parallel. Are we seeing a

:52:23. > :52:28.resurgence of that? We are seeing two things running along together.

:52:28. > :52:34.People do not want to be completely classic or completely raw. If you

:52:34. > :52:39.look at the young princesses, the Duchess of Cambridge, you see how

:52:39. > :52:44.she is wearing a new sort of dress. And lots of hats, which is lovely

:52:44. > :52:51.to see. Then people wearing hats. This is one of your muses. A

:52:51. > :52:57.broadcaster who we know, Olivia. Lovely to see you. You are still in

:52:57. > :53:03.the titles will the BBC. They keep running it out, it is wonderful! I

:53:03. > :53:07.am loving wearing this, it is like being a mermaid. And it is called

:53:07. > :53:12.The Mermaid. It is afraid so that it wafts in the wind and it goes

:53:12. > :53:15.perfectly with your address, which is beatable. Thank you. I wore it

:53:15. > :53:21.because I knew it was going to rain and a thought I could look like a

:53:21. > :53:25.puddle. Much more glamorous than a puddle! You do it like a mermaid.

:53:25. > :53:33.Really terrific to see you. Bentley very much an thank you for this hat

:53:33. > :53:40.as well. More fashion in a few moments. -- thank you very much.

:53:41. > :53:50.Frankie Dettori is happy. He is wearing the colours for the next

:53:51. > :53:51.

:53:51. > :54:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds

:54:59. > :55:09.race, the Britannia Stakes. Here As you would imagine, a hugely

:55:09. > :55:35.

:55:35. > :55:41.competitive handicap, the Britannia Haggas Fast Or Free. There are so

:55:41. > :55:46.many horses in this race that you can make a case for. This is Born

:55:46. > :55:54.To Surprise. Michael Bell training and Jamie Spencer about to get on

:55:54. > :55:58.board. Disappointing earlier this year but a good comeback.

:55:58. > :56:05.horses will like the ground now that they like the rain. I will not

:56:05. > :56:13.be surprised if he does not like it. Behind him, Nawwaar. One of a

:56:13. > :56:23.couple for that owner of. Will he be second choice? I think curry man

:56:23. > :56:24.

:56:24. > :56:30.is number one. That is because he has Paul Hannigan. -- Kahruman.

:56:30. > :56:35.Coming to our left, Chapter Seven. Next to it, in the diamonds, Trader

:56:35. > :56:40.Jack. The Roger Charlton. Lots of good horses in this race. It is

:56:40. > :56:47.hard to go around this field and find a negative. But that guy, he

:56:47. > :56:52.is a super looking cold, well- muscled. He walks well, nice

:56:52. > :56:56.attitude. Just the right size. worried about the ground for him.

:56:56. > :56:59.They were worried about soft ground at the start of the season. Soft

:56:59. > :57:06.ground is coming. You could see by the Gold Cup that the horses were

:57:06. > :57:10.rolling around a lot. It does not matter what the ground is like. It

:57:10. > :57:18.is what the heavens give us. The ground is a forgery getting quite

:57:18. > :57:22.loose. Not too many left in the paddock apart from Swing Alone.

:57:22. > :57:32.Trained by Gay Kelleway, the only woman to win a race at Royal Ascot.

:57:32. > :57:38.That is amazing. Given Hayley Turner and other women. This is a

:57:38. > :57:45.hot-tempered horse. A ring bit in the mouth, so very keen. Very

:57:45. > :57:50.generous in what he does. They will be taking him down nice and quietly.

:57:51. > :57:56.Neil Callan looks quite relaxed, chatting away. Who would you like

:57:56. > :58:06.to win? William Haggas, of course, Fast Or Free. He will like the cut

:58:06. > :58:21.

:58:21. > :58:25.in the ground. Yes, Fast Or Free well fancied, and we can see him in

:58:25. > :58:29.slow motion cantering to the start, is that he has won his last two

:58:29. > :58:34.starts. He ran once last year as a two-year-old but he has run twice

:58:34. > :58:38.this season and has beaten a big field at Newmarket. Ryan Moore

:58:38. > :58:42.staying on board, not surprisingly. He will have had a choice of

:58:42. > :58:48.several mounts in this race. We have seen him winning earlier this

:58:48. > :58:58.week. William Haggas, very shrewd out for it. They know what they are

:58:58. > :58:59.

:58:59. > :59:05.doing on the big day. That is Fast Or Free cantering down to the start.

:59:06. > :59:13.This horse does it nice and easy. I any action. The jockeys say that

:59:13. > :59:18.the rain has just started to open up the ground. This horse looks

:59:18. > :59:23.really well. Robert Winston in the plate, the really good fellow, who

:59:23. > :59:27.had a bad action which stopped him being a good jockey. He smashed his

:59:27. > :59:32.jaw quite badly. Another good horses trained by Roger Charlton

:59:32. > :59:37.and we can hear from his trainer. It is Trader Jack. Roger Charlton

:59:37. > :59:42.is with me. He trained Trader Jack's father as well. At the start

:59:42. > :59:46.of the season it seemed that soft ground would be against this horse.

:59:46. > :59:49.Does that worry you? His second race last time was on very soft

:59:49. > :59:54.ground and you won easily so I thought that was what he liked.

:59:54. > :00:00.Then we ran him at Sandown, and he actually hated the ground. But that

:00:00. > :00:08.was very soft that day. I am hoping that the ground will be fine.

:00:08. > :00:11.drawn in stall 15. That would normally be a de -- dilemma, but

:00:11. > :00:16.the runners are coming down the middle of the course. It is out of

:00:16. > :00:20.our control, really. They know what to do and they will take pot luck

:00:20. > :00:26.but I soon they stick to the middle of the course. He is drawn in the

:00:26. > :00:31.middle. -- I assumed they will stick to the middle. It will be

:00:31. > :00:38.quite a cavalry charge. Thank you for talking to us. I'm surrounded

:00:38. > :00:44.by some very tall men and this is a very tall one. Sorry to bother you.

:00:44. > :00:49.You are associated with a couple of runners. Graphic from the Royal

:00:49. > :00:54.Ascot Racing Club and Apostle. Tell us about their chances. Graphic, if

:00:54. > :00:57.he reproduces the Newmarket form, could have an each-way squeak. But

:00:57. > :01:03.he was really disappointing last time when it was very heavy ground

:01:03. > :01:07.but he should go well on this sort of ground. Apostle, he is tough,

:01:07. > :01:13.well, you know. He is one of those courses where there is nowhere else

:01:13. > :01:16.to run for him. For folks involved in the syndicate, it will be tough

:01:16. > :01:26.for him because the handicap has got a grip on him but he is working

:01:26. > :01:33.

:01:33. > :01:43.to the horses. He's over for the Olympics. It wouldnd take him

:01:43. > :01:47.toopbgs to run there and back, would it? -- too long. I've just

:01:47. > :01:55.been talking about his stride length which is 13 or 14 feet.

:01:55. > :02:00.imagine yours is similar? I'm very slow but Edwin's a great guy and he

:02:00. > :02:03.went undefeated ford ten years in competition and won sports awards.

:02:03. > :02:08.He'll be commentating during the Olympics which is great. Great to

:02:08. > :02:12.see him here at Royal Ascot. Thanks for talking to us.

:02:12. > :02:20.Just rattle through a few more of these, because there are so many of

:02:20. > :02:27.us and Frog Hollow definitely has a chance. Three runners in this race.

:02:27. > :02:36.A few have run against this horse as well. In a race won by Gabriel

:02:36. > :02:40.at Haydock did well but this is a great horse. The dark green,

:02:40. > :02:44.Compton there. William Bewick rides there. Let's see what else we can

:02:44. > :02:51.find. Let's have a look at Frankie Dettori. Nobody's hotter than the

:02:51. > :03:00.man who's just won the Gold Cup. He's riding Piri Wango here. This

:03:00. > :03:04.horse has ran on the all-weather at Dundalk. Yes. This horse OK was

:03:04. > :03:11.relatively well beaten but the horse that finished second or third

:03:11. > :03:17.was advertised to form. Joe Lyons likes not just social winners, so

:03:17. > :03:27.he'll be on a high, Frankie, after winning the last race, it will do

:03:27. > :03:27.

:03:27. > :03:37.him good. Prince Alzain there, Eddie Ahern riding this for Gerard

:03:37. > :03:41.

:03:41. > :03:47.will only run their horses three times if they have the Britannia in

:03:47. > :03:52.mind and Prince Alzain's ran a little bit more often that that.

:03:52. > :03:57.What about Leqqaa who's having a decent season? He's normally number

:03:57. > :04:03.two to Henry Cecil, we see him on the likes of Bullet Train and

:04:03. > :04:10.occasionally the form is reversed and he'll get to ride a big winner.

:04:10. > :04:14.Great jockey. He is. Equitable Equitable. Ian normally travels to

:04:14. > :04:22.Ascot on his motorbike because he normally heads off and beats the

:04:22. > :04:26.traffic, weaving in and out. Joe tp fanning riding Switzerland. Mark

:04:26. > :04:30.Johnston's firing a fair few. horse has a chance. You are saying

:04:30. > :04:37.that about everything? But it's a massive handicap and I'm trying to

:04:37. > :04:46.cover myself in glory after yesterday. Exactly. That's been

:04:46. > :04:54.said of 29 out of the 30 runners. Richard Hannon's got plenty of

:04:54. > :05:01.runners in this. I don't know what the pecking order will be like.

:05:01. > :05:09.would like to think Richard has a few chances.

:05:09. > :05:16.Leqqaa there. Democretes here. Stepping up from

:05:16. > :05:20.six furlongs to a mile. Good form at two furlongs. Just struggled to

:05:20. > :05:24.recapture that level. The stalls handlers doing such a

:05:24. > :05:28.good job. We should do a piece on them, a day in the life of them.

:05:28. > :05:32.Amazing, they're piled on to a bus and off they go, meeting to meeting.

:05:33. > :05:37.Stkpwh you can see that one's going to go forward relatively easily,

:05:37. > :05:42.but they have to get their weight behind it and they have to keep

:05:42. > :05:47.calm around the horses as well. A lot of them get wound up and are

:05:47. > :05:57.not necessarily showing their best when they're wound up. Frog Hollow.

:05:57. > :06:07.

:06:07. > :06:15.A definite chance. Crowley riding fairly quickly so we'll hand you

:06:15. > :06:25.over to Jim. Going forward there is Forest Row and John attempting to

:06:25. > :06:27.

:06:27. > :06:32.complete a really big double. There he is. Big chance of Forest Row to

:06:32. > :06:37.win the Britannia. The last couple going forward now. Prince Alzain

:06:37. > :06:41.going in. Hamza is locked away. I think they are just about ready for

:06:41. > :06:48.the Britannia. They are set. They're racing and away to a good

:06:48. > :06:56.start too. One of the first away on the near side is Come On Blue Chip.

:06:56. > :06:58.They split into two groups now. Lord of the Shadows. As they settle

:06:58. > :07:04.into stride, it's Lord of the Shadows on the near side showing

:07:04. > :07:08.the way. On the near side, it's Hamza up there as well. So too

:07:08. > :07:15.Leqqaa not that far away. Bronze Angel there as well and also in

:07:15. > :07:22.that group is Red Seventy. Come On Blue Chip is there as well. Frog

:07:22. > :07:29.Hollow followed by Swing Alone. The far side now, and we've got Piri

:07:29. > :07:34.Wango, Frankie Dettori on the far side up there as well Fast Or Free.

:07:34. > :07:43.Lucky Henry behind them. Graphic followed by row row row. As they

:07:43. > :07:47.head up now towards halfway -- Forest Row. Hamza on the near side.

:07:47. > :07:55.Trying to get into it as well. They are starting to verge now and over

:07:55. > :08:01.on the far side, Piri Wango being tackled by Fast Or Free. Van Ellis.

:08:01. > :08:06.Lucky Henry. Bronze Angel. Hamza battling on. Mississippi coming in

:08:06. > :08:10.from Graphic. Compton. Fast Or Free has taken it up now with furlong

:08:10. > :08:16.left to go. Mister Music out after him. Followed by Compton. The

:08:16. > :08:22.action on the far side. Fast Or Free trying to hold on. Coming fast

:08:22. > :08:26.is Mister Music and Bronze Angel. Fast Or Free is going to win the

:08:26. > :08:36.Britannia. Mister Music second, third Bronze Angel, fourth is

:08:36. > :08:38.

:08:38. > :08:42.Compton, followed further back by Piri Wango, then Kahruman. Born To

:08:42. > :08:52.Surprise. One of the last to cross the line, there are a couple of

:08:52. > :09:02.

:09:02. > :09:09.groups of them, one of the last was Ian and Christine. This gelding by

:09:09. > :09:18.Not Now Kay toe. Elated with that if I can I have -- Kato. Let's see

:09:18. > :09:23.them cross the line. Bronze Angel finished with a flourish for third.

:09:23. > :09:28.Compton fourth. They're strung out aren't they. Piri Wango behind them.

:09:29. > :09:35.Crosss the line ahead of Kahruman. A gap of four or five lengths to

:09:35. > :09:40.Born To Surprise and Swing Alone. And then just behind them is Hamza

:09:40. > :09:45.who showed so much early pace. Van Ellis. Further back in the centre,

:09:45. > :09:50.the diamond jacket, Trader Jack and also there is Graphic. Not that far

:09:50. > :10:00.away is Switzerland and also my opinion sip pi there in that group

:10:00. > :10:00.

:10:00. > :10:04.as well. Then deck deck deck -- Switzerland and also Mississippi

:10:04. > :10:09.and Democretes. Frog Hollow, further back Chapter Seven. Lucky

:10:09. > :10:13.Henry. Apostle well back and the last few straggleers. Come On Blue

:10:13. > :10:18.Chip. Another four there. They muffin Nished over half a furlong

:10:18. > :10:28.between first to last. There's the winner though, number

:10:28. > :10:51.

:10:51. > :10:54.29, Fast Or Free, ridden by Ryan like a favourite as well. The

:10:54. > :10:57.punters are cheering and the bookmakers weeping because this

:10:57. > :11:04.horse was really well supported. The 6-1 favourite fast or free

:11:04. > :11:09.comes home in front to give Ryan Moore his second winner of the week,

:11:09. > :11:16.Mr Haggis's first. He hits the back of the net this time. In style as

:11:16. > :11:21.well. This horse has rad a really sweet run through and Ryan needs a

:11:21. > :11:25.little bit of company. Poor old Hayley Turner. My heart bleeds for

:11:25. > :11:28.her because it was left on its own. You have heard from Willie when he

:11:28. > :11:38.said the draw doesn't really matter as long as you know where the pace

:11:38. > :11:39.

:11:39. > :11:46.is and the pace was all this side. Ryan Moore knew that he had a horse

:11:46. > :11:52.way out. Maximum 30 runners here and just snook in as number 29. It

:11:52. > :11:57.was a real dicey position to be in having won his two starts so far

:11:57. > :12:02.this year. The handicapper putting him up just enough to get into the

:12:02. > :12:06.race. They must have been pleased to see his name amongst them. It's

:12:06. > :12:16.a 48-hour declaration so two days ago they would have known at 10.10,

:12:16. > :12:39.

:12:39. > :12:44.this horse just snook in. Ryan Moore coming back, his 15th Ascot

:12:44. > :12:53.winner. He was successful yesterday. On Tuesday that was, I beg your

:12:53. > :12:58.pardon. Drained by Willie llins. The last two years, Ryan has won

:12:58. > :13:06.the Royal Ascot top jockey award. He rode a total of four winners in

:13:06. > :13:11.2010 and three winners last year. So he's well on his way here as

:13:11. > :13:18.well to another title. If you go back through the records,

:13:18. > :13:24.you see that Dettori won three in a row back in the late 90s.

:13:24. > :13:28.Hard to do. Mick Kinane did it as well. Another great jockey here at

:13:29. > :13:37.the Royal meeting. But let's check the full result now on this very,

:13:37. > :13:47.very competitive handicap. Another one. The punters are happy down

:13:47. > :13:56.

:13:56. > :13:59.William Haggis just orchestrating the official photo for fast or free

:13:59. > :14:03.-- Fast Or Free. You deserved a change of luck this week? Not sure

:14:03. > :14:08.about that, but it was nice to win. You had a few close shaves. How

:14:08. > :14:16.much of the rain helped him today? I think maybe quite a lot.

:14:16. > :14:21.Because I think he's enjoyed the ground. He did a nice job, he was

:14:21. > :14:26.tailor made for this if he got in and he just did. Improving at a

:14:26. > :14:30.roit of knots, as the old cliche goes, how far do you think he can

:14:30. > :14:34.go -- at a rate of knots? I don't know really, Health and Safety come

:14:34. > :14:39.a long way, had three races in quick succession, so we'll have to

:14:39. > :14:43.sit quiet and see where we go. I'm delighted. Just about a trip for

:14:43. > :14:46.him, pedigree-wise, does it offer scope for a bit more? Yes, it

:14:46. > :14:50.probably does, but Ryan thought after his last run he'd get a mile

:14:50. > :14:55.and a quarter, haven't had tame to talk to him yet, but sounds good

:14:55. > :15:01.for him, plenty of pace and he stays on well. He has a great

:15:01. > :15:04.temperament. Nice to get that Royal Ascot winner isn't it? I can't tell

:15:04. > :15:12.you how much it means to all of us who train to have a winner here,

:15:12. > :15:15.it's great. Well done. Thanks. Let's look back at the closing

:15:15. > :15:23.stages of this Britannia handicap. Willie is with me this time.

:15:23. > :15:26.Nothing very much happened at the but this is coming down to two

:15:26. > :15:31.furlong mark. Most of the action will be over here. This is the

:15:31. > :15:39.winner, travelled nicely the whole way through. Compton is third there.

:15:39. > :15:44.Fourth, sorry. Hayley Turner there. Yes, in the centre. Beats the

:15:44. > :15:49.horses it's running against, but is a little too far away from where it

:15:49. > :15:59.appeared to be where the best ground was. I don't know if it was

:15:59. > :16:04.

:16:04. > :16:13.the best ground but Frankie helped Frankie centres are also good three

:16:13. > :16:18.furlongs out. He sent it. -- Frankie sent his horse three

:16:18. > :16:23.furlongs out. Hayley Turner finished very well. She has come

:16:23. > :16:28.all the way across the track. if we are all the way back through

:16:28. > :16:32.them, it is a long way. You said this was a good looking bunch of

:16:32. > :16:37.horses. They were, but look at them still coming! They are getting

:16:37. > :16:43.rather tired on this fresh rain. It is making the ground a looser on

:16:43. > :16:50.top. Some horses are just scratching. It is interesting to

:16:50. > :16:55.see that the lower the numbers, the faster they seemed to be going.

:16:55. > :17:01.had two big handicaps. The one on Saturday afternoon, six furlongs,

:17:01. > :17:06.shorter than this. If it keeps on raining, you want to be drawn low?

:17:06. > :17:14.All those people with low numbers will be happy indeed. That is the

:17:14. > :17:18.Britannia Stakes. A good win and class C. -- a classy win. I have

:17:18. > :17:24.got Ryan Moore with me, the winning jockey. Second win of the week. How

:17:24. > :17:32.good was that performance and this year's Britannia? I don't know how

:17:32. > :17:37.good the race was. My horse is very good. He travels very well with a

:17:37. > :17:42.good rhythm. He showed a good attitude and he is very tough.

:17:42. > :17:48.important is the ground to him? enjoys it. I have only ridden him

:17:48. > :17:53.Onslow ground so I do not know how he would handle it otherwise.

:17:53. > :17:58.could get further in time, as well? At Newmarket I thought he would go

:17:58. > :18:03.further. He stuck it out well here. There is no reason why he would not.

:18:03. > :18:06.Well done. I think you are up next of the presentation.

:18:06. > :18:11.Congratulations. Roger Bannister on the left, the first man to break

:18:11. > :18:17.four minutes for the mile in 1954. Presenting the trophy appropriately

:18:17. > :18:24.to the winner of the mile handicap. And the owners of Fast Or Free,

:18:24. > :18:28.joined now by the trainer, William Haggas. Just a bit more of a

:18:28. > :18:31.postscript to the Gold Cup, we mentioned that fame or glory was

:18:31. > :18:35.disappointing in that. You could see that he was disappointing and

:18:35. > :18:41.we wondered if something might have been amiss. What did Jamie Spencer

:18:41. > :18:46.say? He did some head-scratching, to be honest. He thought that the

:18:46. > :18:56.horse had every chance. They went slow, but it was crawling. But this

:18:56. > :18:57.

:18:57. > :19:01.horse is capable of picking up off the slow pace, but nothing worked.

:19:01. > :19:05.Silvestre De Sousa is part of the Godolphin gang. Was he doing it for

:19:05. > :19:10.them or himself? He seemed to be doing it for himself. He was very

:19:10. > :19:13.pleased with how his horse performed. Ryan Moore on the trophy

:19:13. > :19:17.podium now after his second win of the week. That is enough to put him

:19:17. > :19:21.out in front in terms of the leading jockey. There is no money

:19:21. > :19:25.involved in this but the jockeys really do care about who will take

:19:25. > :19:30.home the trophy. Richard Hughes has got so close in years to come but

:19:30. > :19:40.lost out on the last day. He has not yet had a winner. Ryan Moore on

:19:40. > :19:41.

:19:41. > :19:47.two and all the rest on one. We have had for 215 -- 15 different

:19:47. > :19:50.jockeys so far. There was a lot of back-slapping going on when Frankie

:19:50. > :19:55.Kovac in because he is popular among the lads. Everybody was keen

:19:55. > :19:58.to say well done because they know what it means to him. Let's have a

:19:58. > :20:03.bit more of the fashion on Ladies' Day with Suzi Perry.

:20:03. > :20:08.Thank you. Even I have had an absolute ball today. It has been

:20:08. > :20:12.her jubilation Ladies' Day. Lots of red, white and blue. The fabulous

:20:12. > :20:17.padded and lots of high heels, so high that women were tottering all

:20:17. > :20:22.over the course. -- a fabulous pageant. We have got some footage

:20:22. > :20:28.and I would like you to commentate as you used to in 1980s style. Can

:20:28. > :20:34.we run the images? There we are. That is the jubilation, red, white

:20:34. > :20:38.and blue. A lot of that. And escalators, a new thing! She seems

:20:39. > :20:43.very happy. That lady is wearing a fascinator beside her. Pashminas or

:20:43. > :20:47.over the place. I am not sure how good they are but they keep the

:20:47. > :20:52.winds out. And then all those colours. Those ladies look as

:20:52. > :20:57.though they are having a great time. Black and white, very traditional.

:20:57. > :21:02.And lots more smaller hats this year. That is a big one. Sliding

:21:02. > :21:09.down the escalator. Look how fabulous it is. And some

:21:09. > :21:17.interesting issues. Very trendy actually. And at length skirt, a

:21:17. > :21:24.bit vintage. Her beautiful jacket. The usual sunglasses and hat

:21:24. > :21:32.combination in bright pink. She looks very elegant. Very classic.

:21:32. > :21:40.We have seen a lot of red in the royal carriages. This lady looks

:21:40. > :21:44.cool with a large hat to keep off the rain. The wedge. We have seen

:21:44. > :21:48.that a lot today. They look lovely. A large bag with everything in it,

:21:48. > :21:55.probably even sandwiches. Royal sandwiches with no crusts?

:21:55. > :21:59.exactly! This is one of the things that has happened. You do not need

:21:59. > :22:05.to be fantastically rich to dress well at Ascot nowadays. You can buy

:22:05. > :22:10.some beautiful day dresses on the High Street. A success is buying

:22:10. > :22:18.vintage. 40s and 50s is a winner at Royal Ascot. We have seen wonderful

:22:18. > :22:21.girls wearing closing older than me. And we saw Carole Middleton earlier

:22:21. > :22:25.and you were impressed. I thought she looked fantastic. If I was

:22:25. > :22:28.still editing a newspaper tomorrow, she would be my picture on the

:22:28. > :22:35.front. She and the Queen would do it very well. They were the stars

:22:35. > :22:40.of the day. She looked lovely in red, just like her daughter. It has

:22:40. > :22:44.been an absolute joy having you with me today. Super.

:22:44. > :22:49.Eve Pollard and Suzi Perry. Many thanks to them. Let's take you

:22:49. > :22:54.through the story of Gold Cup day at Royal Ascot. After two days of

:22:54. > :23:04.bright sunshine, we have grey skies above Ascot Racecourse. The Ladies'

:23:04. > :23:16.

:23:16. > :23:26.Reckless Abandon! They hit the line and it is very close. Reckless

:23:26. > :23:30.

:23:30. > :23:39.Abandon. They are off and running. The bird has flown, I reckon.

:23:39. > :23:49.Princess Highway starts to draw away. Winceyette by about five. --

:23:49. > :23:51.

:23:51. > :23:58.wins it. Half a furlong left to go in the Gold Cup. It is brilliant.

:23:58. > :24:08.Television. They are fighting it out. Colour Vision is doing the

:24:08. > :24:31.

:24:31. > :24:38.best! Colour Vision has got it for Frankie Dettori. 4th of Fast Or

:24:38. > :24:41.Free is going to win the Britannia! I am joined are now by two sporting

:24:41. > :24:48.knights of the realm, Sir Steve Redgrave and Roger Bannister. They

:24:49. > :24:53.have both been presenting trophies today. Are you a regular racegoer?

:24:53. > :25:03.I am not. It is my first time here and it has been fantastic and I

:25:03. > :25:05.

:25:05. > :25:10.presenting a trophy, but is it your first time here? 30 years ago, so

:25:10. > :25:14.it's a very rare occurrence. In retirement you sometimes get asked

:25:14. > :25:18.to do unusual things and so, as it was ladies' day and I've got my

:25:18. > :25:21.wife and my two daughters here, it was something I could not refuse.

:25:21. > :25:25.And they look after you extremely well if you are presenting a trophy

:25:25. > :25:28.so I'm sure you have had a wonderful day. I wanted to ask you

:25:28. > :25:34.about Frankel and the performance over a mile on Tuesday and Sir

:25:34. > :25:38.Roger, given your own performance over a mile, in 1954, and we can

:25:38. > :25:43.have a look at that, when you broke the four-minute barrier for the

:25:43. > :25:45.mile and became the first man to achieve that. In terms of your own

:25:45. > :25:54.physical preparation and mental preparation for this, what do you

:25:54. > :26:01.think was the key? Well, it's the science really of

:26:01. > :26:06.total exhaustion. It's a question of not having anything left at the

:26:06. > :26:09.end or, as I said, taking out of yourself more than you've got.

:26:10. > :26:13.That's the secret and it's the secret I suppose of rowing too.

:26:13. > :26:17.must be and Steve I know that must be and Steve I know that

:26:18. > :26:20.certain rowers and Matthew held that record of the greatest lung

:26:20. > :26:24.capacity, you probably do find that you are put together slightly

:26:24. > :26:28.better than most other people in terms of being able to take in the

:26:28. > :26:31.air that you can? Certainly it's a lot of training and preparation and

:26:31. > :26:39.that is what makes the difference of being able to get to the start

:26:40. > :26:42.line. The people who cross the that have the better capacity in

:26:42. > :26:48.some ways, especially in endurance- based sports, the mile, the 2,000

:26:48. > :26:52.metres that I used to race, it's about the oxygen uptake that you

:26:52. > :26:57.can absorb the oxygen from the air that you are breathing in. That'ss

:26:57. > :27:02.the key element. There's a survey done recently which says the

:27:02. > :27:12.athletes that've had the higher VO2 maximums have been the ones winning

:27:12. > :27:14.

:27:14. > :27:20.The amazing thing watching Frankel, he did not look like he was

:27:20. > :27:26.expending too much energy. There is no obvious sign is a rule. Red Rum

:27:26. > :27:33.was quite short, I think. Not very tall, but he could sprint and run

:27:33. > :27:38.in the Grand National. I do not think this would happen now. You

:27:38. > :27:43.have to specialise. Sebastian Coe of course held the record for 800

:27:43. > :27:48.metres. I suppose that is the equivalent to one mile, whereas a

:27:48. > :27:53.mile in horseracing terms is probably two miles. It is very

:27:53. > :28:01.difficult to draw comparisons. Thinking about physical shape, and

:28:01. > :28:05.when you get an outstanding athlete, like you. -- Usain Bolt, very tall

:28:05. > :28:11.with that long stride, once he gets started he is very difficult to

:28:11. > :28:18.beat. To take the science a little bit further, the muscles have got

:28:18. > :28:22.fast twitch fibres, which are needed by the sprinter. They run up

:28:22. > :28:27.an oxygen debt. Lactic acid. And there are slow twitching fibres

:28:27. > :28:33.that are needed by marathon runners. It so happens that for the human

:28:33. > :28:38.being, the mile is exactly halfway between. I suppose I did not bother

:28:38. > :28:48.to have a test of my muscle composition, but I was probably 50%

:28:48. > :28:49.

:28:49. > :28:54.fast fibre and 50% slow. Usain Bolt is probably 90% fast. That is what

:28:54. > :29:00.we now know scientifically about it. A fascinating to discuss this and

:29:00. > :29:10.beaded into other sports. Wonderful to talk to you. Steve Redgrave and

:29:10. > :29:10.

:29:10. > :30:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds

:30:01. > :30:11.is over a mile and a quarter. The open. Wrotham Heath is the

:30:11. > :30:24.

:30:24. > :30:30.five, a little look ahead to tomorrow, day four. The Coronation

:30:30. > :30:34.Stakes is the big race on the cards. Martin will be riding summer tarred

:30:34. > :30:43.tomorrow, the winner of the Irish 1000 Guineas. That must be a great

:30:43. > :30:49.memory for you. Yes, it will stay with me for a long time. To do it

:30:49. > :30:55.on home soil was fantastic. That was your first ride, wasn't it?

:30:55. > :31:01.my first ride on the filly and a classic. Things going well. The

:31:01. > :31:06.runner-up that day has already come out in the Jersey Stakes. The form

:31:06. > :31:10.has had a nice boost already. People will think it was not a true

:31:10. > :31:18.run, but I think it took the filly to come to herself through the year,

:31:18. > :31:23.and she's got on the day and she has been in great form since. --

:31:23. > :31:29.she sparked on the day. What about the weather? There are showers

:31:29. > :31:37.forecast. Do you want more rain? Not really, to be honest, but I

:31:37. > :31:41.prefer the ground to be looser than dead. She was good racing on soft

:31:41. > :31:46.ground last year, quite close. Whatever will happen, we cannot

:31:46. > :31:52.change it. She has been on good form at home. I tried ter on tough

:31:52. > :32:02.ground and she went through it. All we can do is hope. Hopefully your

:32:02. > :32:05.

:32:05. > :32:09.Grimm in this race. Just the one start this year, that was over a

:32:10. > :32:13.mile. Stepping up today, what is the thinking? He indicated in that

:32:14. > :32:17.race that he'd want further than a mile. We've always liked him. I

:32:17. > :32:20.would be a bit concerned about the ground, we don't really know, he

:32:20. > :32:24.has an American pedigree and probably wants it quicker than it

:32:24. > :32:27.is. A word on the well-being of Carlton House after a great run

:32:27. > :32:35.yesterday? A little stiff this morning, which is to be expected

:32:35. > :32:40.and we'll sit down and think about the next move. Thank you very

:32:40. > :32:50.much.- -Henry Cecil talking about the chances of his runner, but this

:32:50. > :32:57.is Wrotham Heath. That is, sorry, that was Michael Stoute, we are

:32:57. > :33:02.looking at Henry Cecil there. This is a horse we saw at Epsom and were

:33:02. > :33:10.pretty impressed, to be honest. I think he'd have a chance, a

:33:10. > :33:15.definite chance. Giving Henry Cecil and Tom Queally a winner? Yes, he

:33:15. > :33:20.did a good job at Epsom that day. Sir Henry Cecil obviously thinks

:33:20. > :33:28.he's taken that race at Epsom quite well so he's brought him out again

:33:28. > :33:34.here today after only 19 days since he last ran. Of course, Stipulate

:33:34. > :33:39.is also one of his two runners in the race, Sir Henry Cecil. Also in

:33:39. > :33:44.the colours of Khalid Abdullah. We are looking atom Queally here,

:33:44. > :33:50.close-up and slow motion on Wrotham Heath. He rides with his toe in the

:33:50. > :33:59.iron, as so many jockeys do these days. That's where you get your

:33:59. > :34:04.balance from, when you put your toe in the irons, the ball of the foot.

:34:04. > :34:08.Put a finger up into the mane so you don't set yourself up too much.

:34:08. > :34:18.Set your weight against the horse's mouth and make sure he doesn't go

:34:18. > :34:18.

:34:18. > :34:22.any faster than he should. It's quite amazing that all those

:34:22. > :34:26.horses... We heard Michael Stoute talking about horse. Khalid

:34:26. > :34:30.Abdullah doesn't ever buy horses, they are all farm bred. It's

:34:30. > :34:40.amazing the success he has, it means he has a very good team at

:34:40. > :34:46.home running the show and a lot of lovely... Uh-oh, that horse has

:34:46. > :34:53.broke down, has he? I don't think so, just pulling him up. He's all

:34:53. > :34:57.right. I was a bit frightened there for a spell. This is Grandeur,

:34:57. > :35:01.Frankie Dettori, the man who'll be in the headlines tomorrow and

:35:01. > :35:09.talked about on the radio reports this evening having won the Gold

:35:09. > :35:13.Cup. Grand yur generally looked to be progressing -- Grandeur. The

:35:13. > :35:17.form with Wrotham Heath, well, actually it will be very

:35:17. > :35:20.interesting to see what happens today because there is a six pound

:35:20. > :35:25.difference in the weights this time around. You would think that would

:35:25. > :35:32.be enough to put Grandeur in frofpbt and obviously it's a

:35:32. > :35:35.different racecourse -- Grandeur in front. Looks more nippy. He has

:35:35. > :35:40.sort of, as we were watching his action there, he went down that

:35:40. > :35:44.hill to the mile and a quarter from the mile and half and he was moving

:35:44. > :35:48.really well on that ground. He's got Frankie Dettori on his back and

:35:48. > :35:52.when Frankie's just had a winner, he's buzzing. I think he's good for

:35:52. > :36:02.a couple of lengths when he's in this sort of frame of mind. Let's

:36:02. > :36:12.take a look at the betting and the prices: Grandeur and Wrotham Heath

:36:12. > :36:21.

:36:21. > :36:27.than Hayley Turner who becomes the first womb to ride a winner here

:36:27. > :36:31.says Kellaway in the '80s. A horse called Rewarded here has decent

:36:31. > :36:37.form coming into this. Newbury last time, badly hampered. Possibly

:36:37. > :36:43.might have won that day. So this horse is not without a chance here

:36:43. > :36:53.so we've got a girl jockey on board. Kirsty might be the second lady to

:36:53. > :36:54.

:36:54. > :37:01.win at Royal Ascot. The horse is not without a chance. The Maktoum

:37:02. > :37:11.colours thatryed for so many years by Willie Carson. They really fancy

:37:12. > :37:12.

:37:12. > :37:20.this horse on Mukhadram tsh - coloured carried for so many years.

:37:20. > :37:30.The jockey likes the horse, that means he has a chance. This German

:37:30. > :37:30.

:37:30. > :38:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds

:38:14. > :38:23.years ago and Schelnderhand was very successful. Wearing hoods in

:38:24. > :38:27.races is catching on. Energizer, his owner's had a couple of races

:38:27. > :38:32.before. Stipulate, the second string of Henry Cecil's runners or

:38:32. > :38:37.the second lot of colours for Khalid Abdullah.

:38:37. > :38:47.On form, you would say that Stipulate is better than Wrotham

:38:47. > :38:53.

:38:53. > :38:58.Heath. Both the Khalid Abdullah horses are good.

:38:58. > :39:01.He's running two to make sure he gets the prize. Tailed off in the

:39:01. > :39:06.Sandown classic, but the ground here is not as bad as it was then.

:39:06. > :39:11.That was the day when Joseph O'Brien went round the trees. It

:39:11. > :39:14.was possibly that day that was false form for this horse. Forget

:39:14. > :39:18.that. There's Richard Hughes who's had a

:39:18. > :39:21.few that have run all right, but not quite having the week that he

:39:21. > :39:26.wanted. When Frankie won the Gold Cup, Richard Hughes was the first

:39:26. > :39:30.to say, isn't that brilliant. All the other jockeys happy for him.

:39:30. > :39:35.That's good. Richard Hannon's never won this race, and in the last ten

:39:35. > :39:40.runnings, he's only had one horse finish in the first six. Only

:39:40. > :39:48.beaten by a short head one year to be fair, but he tends to be very

:39:48. > :39:53.successful in the shorter races than in the two-year-old races.

:39:53. > :40:03.This horse wound group 3 at Newmarket, so he should be able to

:40:03. > :40:03.

:40:03. > :40:13.cope with this Group 3 here. There's Paul Hanagan, champion

:40:13. > :40:17.jockey. He'll be looking for a win here on Mukhadram. Frankie Dettori

:40:17. > :40:24.will be on a high. They're set. And they're racing!

:40:24. > :40:30.And on the outside, just a fraction astride was Wrotham Heath trapped

:40:30. > :40:34.wide early down near the inside, Cavaleiro in company with Rewarded

:40:34. > :40:40.and all the time Tom Queally is looking over to see if he can cross.

:40:40. > :40:45.Three wide as they race into Swindley Bottom. Now on the fence

:40:45. > :40:54.and he settles in the lead. Wrotham Heath chose the way by two lengths,

:40:54. > :40:58.Cavaleiro, Goldoni. Followed by Rewarded. Mukhadram. Half a length

:40:58. > :41:04.further back is Stipulate on the outside from grand yush giving them

:41:04. > :41:09.a fair start. -- Grandeur. They leave Swindley Bottom.

:41:09. > :41:15.Richard Hughes has broken away from the pack on Crius and has gone

:41:15. > :41:21.right to the far side, taking the Willie Carson route under the trees.

:41:21. > :41:31.The leader of Stipulate by three or four lengths to second place to

:41:31. > :41:35.Cavaleiro, followed by, I should ait's Wrotham Heath in front.

:41:35. > :41:39.Grandeur. Still alone on the far side, Crius. Still a long way from

:41:39. > :41:45.the leader. As they come up towards the turn, it's Wrotham Heath the

:41:45. > :41:49.leder by two lengths to Stipulate. Grandeur coming into it now for

:41:49. > :41:56.Dettori on the outside. Half a length to Goldoni. Followed by

:41:56. > :42:00.Mukhadram. Rewarded dropped back, followed by Energizer. Tales Of

:42:00. > :42:07.Grimm. Crius has tailed off. The two Cecil runners together on the

:42:07. > :42:11.near side. Stipulate takes it up from Wrotham Heath. Grandeur,

:42:11. > :42:16.Mukhadram, Energizer for Germany. Right down the outside, Energizer

:42:16. > :42:22.racing quickly. A furlong left. It's the German-trained runner

:42:22. > :42:28.who'll take it. Energizer, three lengths in front. Battling away is

:42:28. > :42:38.Stipulate. Followed by muck muck. Here is one for Germany. Energizer

:42:38. > :42:57.

:42:57. > :43:07.15-2 winner at Royal Ascot for Germany. Trained by jens

:43:07. > :43:07.

:43:07. > :43:15.Hirschberger. Second is number 9, Stipulate. Rewarded third and

:43:15. > :43:21.fourth is Mukhadram. Energizer going to the line here. About three

:43:21. > :43:28.or four lengths I would say, or three-and-a-half, ahead of

:43:28. > :43:33.Stipulate. A similar distance, Rewarded, fourth Mukhadram, Tales

:43:33. > :43:38.Of Grimm on the near side. Goldoni in the centre. Grandeur. Frankie

:43:38. > :43:43.Dettori. He was on a high but his horse wasn't good enough. And then

:43:43. > :43:48.a gap of eight lengths or so to Cavaleiro who came here after a run

:43:48. > :43:52.in the Derby. And Wrotham Heath who had to work to get over to the

:43:52. > :44:02.inside rail for Tom yeely had nothing left at all. Crius was the

:44:02. > :44:07.

:44:07. > :44:12.one who broke away from them. Tom Queally. Energizer is the winner

:44:12. > :44:22.and the distance is two-and-a-half lengths and the same and the time

:44:22. > :44:27.

:44:27. > :44:31.2.10.03. That's the time. There it is. For this Tercentenary Stakes.

:44:31. > :44:36.Such an international Stake stage here. Ireland doing particularly

:44:36. > :44:46.well and Hong Kong, a famous win on the first day and now one for

:44:46. > :44:48.

:44:48. > :44:57.Germany. trained winner at Royal Ascot.

:44:57. > :45:02.We've had German-bred and owned winners before. This horse owned,

:45:02. > :45:06.bred and trained in Germany, ridden by a German jockey as well and

:45:07. > :45:16.really appreciating the rain- softened ground and also the very

:45:17. > :45:25.

:45:25. > :45:33.fast pace set by Wrotham Heath. Power-packed finish and come home

:45:33. > :45:36.impressively in front. His owner has plenty of stock with

:45:36. > :45:40.stamina. The ground is getting softer, you need a horse that's

:45:40. > :45:47.going to get the distance really well and you can see a very happy

:45:47. > :45:53.jockey there. He's taking in the first ever trained ever German

:45:53. > :45:59.winner here at Royal Ascot. He won it really, really well indeed. The

:45:59. > :46:05.second horse Sir Henry Cecil's regarded as the second, but his

:46:05. > :46:15.form suggested he would be the first in. A very, very good race.

:46:15. > :46:28.

:46:28. > :46:38.The third horse, Rewarded, Kirsty into the winner's enclosure.

:46:38. > :46:41.this is the first. Adrie De Vries, those that follow racing in the

:46:41. > :46:48.Middle East will tell you that he is one of the leading jockeys in

:46:48. > :46:58.Qatar and has been for some time. A very talented rider. He has ridden

:46:58. > :46:59.

:46:59. > :47:09.many winners there. This will be something very new for him. And a

:47:09. > :47:14.

:47:14. > :47:18.very capable horseman. He has got the best out of Energizer and won.

:47:18. > :47:27.He is wearing a hood for the first time, but sometimes that can be

:47:27. > :47:31.deceptive. Certainly in Ireland, they do not recognise that at all.

:47:31. > :47:41.It comes under the heading of blinkers. It is really a

:47:41. > :47:51.technicality. It is just a bit more specialised when describing what

:47:51. > :47:53.

:47:53. > :47:56.the head gear is. Now we can have a look at the full result. The German

:47:56. > :48:06.football team are doing well in the Ukraine and they have hit the back

:48:06. > :48:08.

:48:08. > :48:12.of the net at the Ascot. With the winning trainer, Jens Hirschberger.

:48:12. > :48:17.We will try the interview in English but if it does not go well,

:48:17. > :48:25.we have our translator here. When did you come to plan to Ascot with

:48:25. > :48:33.the horse? We looked at the last road. -- the last race. It was too

:48:33. > :48:40.short. We looked at the book. said the distance was too short so

:48:40. > :48:44.we had a look at the programme and he found this race. You will be

:48:44. > :48:49.excited by the rain. Lots of people assumed that with his pedigree he

:48:49. > :48:53.would go in the ground. He loves the ground, definitely. If it is a

:48:53. > :49:00.monsoon, perfect for him! What does it mean to have a Royal Ascot

:49:00. > :49:06.winner? It is a great feeling. is all that you need to say! Thank

:49:06. > :49:12.you and I replace you with your winning rider. Adrie De Vries. That

:49:12. > :49:18.was a match Everson performance and really gutsy from the horse. --

:49:18. > :49:26.magnificent performance. Yes, he wanted to step up. He settled today

:49:26. > :49:33.and he should really good turn of foot. It looked like a battle.

:49:33. > :49:42.testing ground and the last furlong but it helped. The step up from

:49:42. > :49:49.that run in the Guineas? Yes, we put the had on him and he settled.

:49:49. > :49:55.Royal Ascot win for you, what is that like? Amazing. Congratulations.

:49:55. > :49:59.Well done. Amazing is what it is and it has been an amazing day the

:49:59. > :50:02.Frankie Dettori as well. Victorious in the Gold Cup, surviving the

:50:02. > :50:07.inquiry into interference in the closing stages between Colour

:50:07. > :50:11.Vision and his Godolphin team mate Opinion Poll. You can see that

:50:11. > :50:16.bumping just there, but the stewards ruled that it did not

:50:16. > :50:23.improve Colour Vision's position. The placings remained unaltered.

:50:23. > :50:27.The mud-spattered Frankie celebrated in style. Fame And Glory

:50:27. > :50:31.was very disappointing, the well- backed favourite. No excuses

:50:31. > :50:35.offered. They say nothing is wrong with the horse but it just was not

:50:35. > :50:43.to be today. That is frankly explaining what happened with

:50:43. > :50:48.Barzalona at the inquiry afterwards. -- Frankie explaining. Not too long

:50:48. > :50:52.to wait for that response. Apart from a royal winner, which would

:50:52. > :51:02.have been lovely, the only thing that was missing was frankly.

:51:02. > :51:08.him winning the Gold Cup or was wonderful. -- Frankie. German

:51:08. > :51:14.horses winning, Frankie Dettori beating everything, and most

:51:14. > :51:17.amazing horse. You have had a very good day. Two winners in the second

:51:17. > :51:25.and one to go. These are the horses that Willie Carson recommended at

:51:25. > :51:30.the beginning of the day. Let us abandon won. Fame And Glory let you

:51:30. > :51:36.down. -- Reckless Abandon won. You told me you were going to go for

:51:36. > :51:42.Colour Vision. Yes, but the rain let me down. Tales of Grimm did not

:51:42. > :51:47.look as though he enjoyed that ground. Adam Kirby Road Reckless

:51:47. > :51:49.Abandon. The stewards looked at his use of the whip and they are

:51:49. > :51:56.referring him to the British Horseracing Association because he

:51:56. > :52:02.has had some infractions. He has got to go to the head office to

:52:02. > :52:08.talk about it and look at the films. The presentation is being made

:52:08. > :52:17.behind us by Virginia Wade, to the German collections of Energizer.

:52:17. > :52:27.She won Wimbledon in 1977, the Silver Jubilee year. Jens

:52:27. > :52:28.

:52:28. > :52:36.Hirschberger and the owners. They are receiving that trophy and

:52:36. > :52:40.holding it aloft. Germany have a winner! In terms of the European

:52:40. > :52:48.Championships, they are in full swing. Quarter-final action tonight

:52:48. > :52:52.at 7:30pm on BBC One. The Czech Republic against Portugal. We will

:52:52. > :52:56.be on air tomorrow at 1:45pm on BBC One and there will be coverage on

:52:56. > :53:00.BBC Two at BBC interactive. That is where we are going now because we
