:01:08. > :01:12.rain. It is growth but the rain has held off. The bandstand, around
:01:12. > :01:17.which the racegoers gathered after the last race, to sing in
:01:17. > :01:22.celebration and round their shoulders -- can drown their
:01:23. > :01:28.sorrows. And this is the most famous sporting venue in Europe. A
:01:28. > :01:33.crowd of around about 50,000 people expected today. Enjoying picnics
:01:33. > :01:39.already. A glass or two of champagne not going amiss.
:01:39. > :01:43.Everybody is here to have a fun, sociable occasion. And also to
:01:43. > :01:48.enjoy the stunning day of racing. And we have seen it all at Royal
:01:48. > :01:53.Ascot this week, we really have. It kicked off with the phenomenal
:01:53. > :02:03.Frankel, then a knockout blow by So You Think to defeat the Queen. Then
:02:03. > :02:11.
:02:11. > :02:21.Frankie Dettori winning his 5th performance. A superb and
:02:21. > :02:51.
:02:51. > :03:01.Think those on to win the Prince of Wales Stakes. -- goes on. Colour
:03:01. > :03:09.
:03:09. > :03:16.Vision! Colour Vision has won for Coronation Stakes today. Frankie
:03:16. > :03:26.Dettori riding at Ascot for the 25th year. What a huge beast it was,
:03:26. > :03:29.
:03:29. > :03:36.beating his Godolphin team made Barzalona. -- booster. Two wins so
:03:36. > :03:43.far, but the other are evenly spread. Chris Mort and Joseph
:03:43. > :03:49.O'Brien comparing heights. Joseph is not far off him. Jimmy Fortune
:03:49. > :03:52.has some really good chances with Starscope being one of them. He is
:03:52. > :03:57.studying form with the Johnny Murtagh, and Paul Hanagan is a man
:03:57. > :04:03.on a mission as well. Desperate to join the winners. We have had 17
:04:03. > :04:07.different jockeys so far registering wins with Ryan Moore
:04:07. > :04:11.the only one to get the double. The winds are blowing strongly and
:04:11. > :04:19.Wellington boots is the sensible option just in case the rain comes
:04:19. > :04:28.later. The Chelsea pensioner keeping a hats on board. Sir Henry
:04:28. > :04:32.Cecil checking his wife's fascinator. The King Edward VII is
:04:32. > :04:35.one of our top races today and should be fascinating because it
:04:35. > :04:40.features Astrology, the horse that was third in the Derby behind
:04:40. > :04:47.Camelot. Willie Carson is with us and you have polished your top hat.
:04:47. > :04:50.It is my older one but it has more shine to it. What do you think
:04:50. > :04:56.about today? So many star performances and so many horses
:04:56. > :05:00.capable of making the headlines. How will today pan out? We could
:05:00. > :05:06.have royal winner. We will have to wait for the 5th race. It is a
:05:06. > :05:11.filly, running in the Queen's Vase. Called Estimate? Yes, and I believe
:05:11. > :05:15.the Queen will be giving the prizes. No, the Duke of Edinburgh. That
:05:15. > :05:20.race is at 5 o'clock. Let's look at what we have in store for you on
:05:20. > :05:28.the 4th day of Royal Ascot. Continuing our series of behind the
:05:28. > :05:36.scenes features on the men that make racing work, and we get the
:05:36. > :05:45.day in the life of a jockey's valet. Richard Hughes, he bares his soul
:05:45. > :05:53.and his wife talks about how he has turned his life around. The star of
:05:53. > :05:57.the whole week could yet be Black Caviar, the Australian Super horse
:05:57. > :06:01.is hot favourite for the Diamond Jubilee. Unbeaten in so many races,
:06:01. > :06:06.we assess what makes her so good. And a huge crowd of women dressed
:06:06. > :06:10.in their finery. Suzi Perry will be looking at fashion and learning how
:06:10. > :06:20.to make the Coronation cocktail. These are the races that we have
:06:20. > :06:24.lined up for a 4th date of Royal Ascot. -- the 4th day. Astrology
:06:24. > :06:32.will be trying to win the King Edward VII Stakes, having won last
:06:32. > :06:35.year. Some great fillies in the Coronation Stakes. The Queen's Vase
:06:35. > :06:41.could yet give the Queen her first winner of the week. Estimate has a
:06:41. > :06:47.great chance in that. We switch to BBC Interactive for the final race,
:06:47. > :06:56.the Buckingham Palace Stakes. Because of the rain, there are lots
:06:56. > :07:06.of non-runners. Run Fat Lass Run in the first. The King Edward is down
:07:06. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:33.to five horses. William Buick Amy Ryan is switching to Advanced.
:07:33. > :07:37.Let's see what effect the rain has had on the course. The one thing we
:07:37. > :07:42.have to talk about before we talk about the rain are the winds. A
:07:42. > :07:47.very strong breeze, but it is more than that. I have to keep one hand
:07:47. > :07:51.free to keep my hat on. It is just so strong that I am turning
:07:51. > :07:56.sideways. It is drying out the ground and that is the biggest
:07:56. > :07:59.thing. This course is straight, but after four millimetres of rain,
:07:59. > :08:03.they suggest it is soft all round. That is the official going
:08:03. > :08:07.description. But there is no doubt that the straight is quicker than
:08:07. > :08:12.the round course. I think it will ride better. Good to soft, I would
:08:12. > :08:17.say, more so on the straight course. We have just seen Amy Ryan getting
:08:17. > :08:21.buffeted around. They say it is softer than the round course. On
:08:21. > :08:26.the straight course it will still be hard, but I think it will kick
:08:26. > :08:29.off OK. You are going to show us how windy it is with the grass test.
:08:29. > :08:33.Extremely windy! On the straight course, especially if they turn
:08:33. > :08:38.into the home straight coming up towards the finish line, how
:08:38. > :08:42.difficult will it be for the horses in the winds? It is absolutely
:08:42. > :08:49.vital to get cover. Any horse heading straight into it will be
:08:49. > :08:55.tough, especially two year olds. Come on, but does in the direction
:08:55. > :08:58.of a couple of winners at least. Just give me one. I think William
:08:58. > :09:04.Buick in the first race. There horse was very impressive last time
:09:04. > :09:09.and I think it will be great. And Global Village just to upset Willie
:09:09. > :09:16.Carson. It used to be owned by Willie Carson but not any more.
:09:16. > :09:25.they are going for Newfangled in the first? Where son had a share in
:09:25. > :09:29.him, they have got that wrong. -- my son. Your tips were very good
:09:29. > :09:34.yesterday. Joseph O'Brien has been walking the course, as he does
:09:34. > :09:39.every day. We saw him comparing his height to Chris. He is very tall.
:09:39. > :09:47.He will be riding Homecoming Queen, the 1000 Guineas winner, and she is
:09:47. > :09:51.tiny. 14.2, and he is six feet. I'm surprised they are allowing Joseph
:09:51. > :10:01.to ride her. I know that he rode the last time in Ireland, but how
:10:01. > :10:03.
:10:03. > :10:06.does default himself away on -- he told himself away on a small horse?
:10:07. > :10:11.I think they might have made a bit of a change. Nothing to do with the
:10:11. > :10:17.ability of the jockey, just the shape. I think that Ryan Moore
:10:17. > :10:24.would possibly suit the filly a bit better. A very good jockey, but six
:10:24. > :10:29.feet. Michael Stoute does have a runner in the race, so he is
:10:29. > :10:35.maintained for him. Frankie Dettori on Laugh Out Loud, that is a huge
:10:35. > :10:41.chance for Mick Channon. Laugh Out Loud and Samitar are two very good
:10:41. > :10:46.fillies. A Samitar has won in Ireland. If the ground has dried
:10:46. > :10:53.off, she will be the one that will take some beating. She did beat
:10:53. > :10:59.Homecoming Queen in that race in Ireland. She is by it Rock of
:10:59. > :11:09.Gibraltar, and you would think that the product in a would not like the
:11:09. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:17.soft going. -- prodigy. You could just hear the strains of Jerusalem
:11:17. > :11:20.behind us. This green and pleasant land is green because of the rain
:11:20. > :11:25.that falls so regularly and it is spitting again. We are splitting
:11:25. > :11:29.our tipping duties around the team. Willie Carson did well yesterday
:11:29. > :11:33.and it is Suzi Perry's chance to shine with John Parrott. Lovely to
:11:33. > :11:38.have you here. Today we are going to fashion some winners for the
:11:38. > :11:42.British public. Are you in good form? Reasonable. I had two winners
:11:42. > :11:47.yesterday but Willie Carson did brilliantly. Little but steps to
:11:47. > :11:53.follow him. On the first day, Mike got zero, but then he redeemed
:11:53. > :12:00.himself with Reckless Abandon. Let's look at your selections.
:12:00. > :12:07.like to go reach way, as it were, with horses. I am not very
:12:07. > :12:14.confident. I am a name Pica, like many people at home. I like The
:12:14. > :12:20.Gold Cheongsam, which is a silky dress, split to the thigh. Frankie
:12:20. > :12:24.is riding that and he picked be a winner yesterday. Astrology. I know
:12:24. > :12:30.there are things with this horse but I reckon this will be its day.
:12:30. > :12:35.It did well in the derby. I think it has got a chance. It is an
:12:35. > :12:40.easier 1.5 miles here. Liking that. Homecoming Queen for the
:12:40. > :12:50.coronation? Soft ground, that is why I picked it. Tall jockey and
:12:50. > :12:52.
:12:52. > :13:02.all that, but fingers crossed for think? Kieren Fallon thinks it has
:13:02. > :13:03.
:13:03. > :13:07.got the chance. And I went for Macbeth. That could be a tragedy!
:13:07. > :13:12.And finally Primaeval, because I am desperate for Hayley Turner to get
:13:12. > :13:17.a win and it has been 25 years since we have had the female winner.
:13:17. > :13:21.We wish you the best. But I have got a bone to pick with you. What
:13:21. > :13:25.about the flirting? Jenson Button, OK, he is handsome, he drives fast
:13:25. > :13:33.cars and he is a multi-millionaire. What was the floating about? Is
:13:33. > :13:41.that what you women are looking for in a man? -- the flirting.
:13:41. > :13:49.Obviously not! I would have you any day, JP. And look at your hat! This
:13:49. > :13:55.is not a good day to wear a frisbee! Good luck! I think she is
:13:55. > :14:00.doing a fantastic job. Anyway, she is a married woman! Kate, the royal
:14:00. > :14:05.historian, is with us today. She has given us so much information
:14:05. > :14:10.but we thought we would look back to the the Coronation, 1953, to see
:14:10. > :14:20.what the royal procession looked like that. -- of the year of the
:14:20. > :14:24.
:14:24. > :14:27.but glorious coronation year. Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of
:14:27. > :14:34.Edinburgh in the first carriage. Her Majesty wearing a biscuit
:14:34. > :14:41.coloured coat with a black velvet collar and a small black cat. --
:14:41. > :14:45.hat. The Duke of Gloucester in a carriage with her. And this year
:14:45. > :14:49.there is a photographic exhibition commemorating 60 years of the Queen
:14:50. > :14:58.at Royal Ascot. During that time she has owned 20 winners, one of
:14:58. > :15:04.them coming, the first of them, in 1953 with Choir Boy. That was a
:15:04. > :15:08.particularly profitable period for Royal runners. The most successful
:15:08. > :15:18.raised has been a Ribblesdale and the Hunt Cup, which she has won
:15:18. > :15:24.
:15:25. > :15:30.with Estimate. Here comes the procession. As those pictures prove,
:15:30. > :15:35.it has changed so little over the years. It could be the same, but
:15:36. > :15:39.they are looking a tiny bit younger there. 1953, the year of the
:15:39. > :15:45.Coronation, the great year of Elizabeth, she was incredibly
:15:46. > :15:50.popular. On the same day of her coronation, the news came that
:15:50. > :15:54.Edmund Hillary had conquered Everest. There was some great fancy
:15:55. > :16:01.dress, Everest fancy dress, people dressed up as TV sets. I would
:16:01. > :16:09.imagine a lot of the hats would have been themed around Everest.
:16:09. > :16:13.The Queen wearing a heather will crepe dress. Joined by the Duke of
:16:13. > :16:17.Edinburgh. And Christopher Rees Jones and Alastair Bruce.
:16:17. > :16:21.Christopher Rees Jones is the father of the Countess of Wessex.
:16:21. > :16:26.Often the media comment on the presence of the Midi -- on the
:16:26. > :16:33.Bilton family, but the parents of Sophie Rhys Jones often in the
:16:33. > :16:41.procession. She had a marvellous umbrella yesterday, but she does
:16:41. > :16:46.not made one today. -- need one. in the second carriage, Prince
:16:46. > :16:56.Michael of Kent, along with Princess Michael of Kent, the
:16:56. > :16:57.
:16:57. > :17:03.chairman of the BT group, and his wife, Caroline. They are holding on
:17:03. > :17:07.to their hats. And Prince Michael's father, Prince George of Kent.
:17:07. > :17:17.is the Queen's cousin. They have as a long relationship with the Queen,
:17:17. > :17:25.she is fond of him, they have had a long relationship. Princess Michael
:17:25. > :17:30.shared the same speech coach as her father. In the third carriage, on
:17:30. > :17:40.the far side, in the pale blue, Caroline Warren, opposite her
:17:40. > :17:45.
:17:45. > :17:49.husband. Closest to us, the former Welsh Guards officer. A member of
:17:49. > :17:54.that family was influential as Prince William and Prince Harry
:17:54. > :17:59.grew up. They were devoted to her. Prince William would have been
:17:59. > :18:05.thinking about her yesterday, on his 30th birthday. It is great to
:18:05. > :18:11.see. The first time the Queen came was in 1945. After being shot away
:18:11. > :18:15.during the war at Windsor Castle, it was her chance to burst out onto
:18:15. > :18:21.the world, just over a month after the declaration of the end of the
:18:21. > :18:25.war. It was an incredible moment for her, she was in the 80 s, she
:18:25. > :18:30.was working as a mechanic, driving her car, she was becoming a new
:18:30. > :18:40.woman. In the fourth carriage, the man who was in the possession
:18:40. > :18:42.
:18:42. > :18:52.yesterday, and his wife, and a South African business tycoon,
:18:52. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :18:55.chairman of the Swiss-based luxury goods company. And chief executive
:18:55. > :19:00.officer of a Swiss finance company. Continuing the international
:19:00. > :19:06.flavour. It is great to see them in the open carriages, with the
:19:06. > :19:12.terrible rain, they might have come in cars, but the Queen has been
:19:12. > :19:19.here every year since 1945, and that only time they came in cars
:19:19. > :19:24.was in 2001. It was really important for her to showed herself
:19:24. > :19:27.to the people. Ever since Queen Victoria, monarchs want to be seen,
:19:27. > :19:32.because they know people want to see the Queen and the Duke of
:19:32. > :19:39.Edinburgh, what they are wearing. It is also much fun. It is terribly
:19:39. > :19:46.important to her that she is part of the procession. We can really
:19:46. > :19:50.see her hat and an outfit. I have worked out what is making it the
:19:50. > :19:55.Duke of Edinburgh laughed. On an hour car camera, we put a top hat,
:19:55. > :20:01.and it is decorated differently every day. Today, it has got
:20:01. > :20:06.different flowers on it. There it is. That is what is making him
:20:06. > :20:10.laugh. We are not allowed to customise our top hats in the
:20:10. > :20:18.enclosure. The Duke of Edinburgh has got such a great sense of
:20:18. > :20:24.humour. The corgis are missing out, we are not allowed to have dogs
:20:24. > :20:32.here. She is fond of horses, and her corgis. The first corgi was
:20:32. > :20:37.bought for her when she was 18. Different monarchs have adopted
:20:37. > :20:46.different breeds of dog. Charles the First would either have a
:20:46. > :20:50.bigger war pounds or the King Charles cavalier spaniels.
:20:50. > :20:54.mother was fond of corgis, they purchased them when she was little,
:20:54. > :21:01.but she has been passionate about them. They do not always have the
:21:02. > :21:08.best of temperaments, they can be snappy. You will get the wrath of
:21:08. > :21:16.Corgi owners everywhere! They have character. They know what they want.
:21:16. > :21:19.They are decisive. The Queen's, they have marvellous baskets.
:21:19. > :21:28.saw Joseph O'Brien walking the course earlier, and that looks like
:21:28. > :21:33.him and his father. They are waiting to the Queen. -- waving.
:21:33. > :21:41.They are watching in relative peace and quiet. They are getting a
:21:41. > :21:45.different view. The grey horses are leading the first carriage, the
:21:45. > :21:50.carriages are well balanced, they have good suspension. When the
:21:50. > :21:54.Queen was young, one of her favourite games was pretending to
:21:54. > :21:59.either the governors would be a horse or the Queen would be a horse.
:21:59. > :22:05.If the governors was a horse, the Queen would ride her around and
:22:05. > :22:13.maker pretend to be a grocer's horse. She always looks pretending
:22:13. > :22:17.to be a horse, to ride a horse. She was a horse-mad little girl. She
:22:17. > :22:27.never grew out of it. She is just as fond of them as she has ever
:22:27. > :22:29.
:22:29. > :22:34.been. She still writes regularly through Windsor. -- ride. She used
:22:34. > :22:41.to ride at Trooping The Colour. She is a skilful rider. It gives her a
:22:41. > :22:46.huge amount of pleasure. It is marvellous exercise. As we pointed
:22:46. > :22:56.out, the procession takes a different path every day, to save
:22:56. > :22:59.the ground. It is on its closest to the grandstand. The rain is
:22:59. > :23:05.starting to spit, but the carriage is still open, so that the crowd
:23:05. > :23:09.can get a clear view of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. And of
:23:09. > :23:13.Prince Michael of Kent and Princess Michael of Kent. It is wonderful to
:23:13. > :23:18.remember what it was like for our ancestors to travel in coaches like
:23:18. > :23:28.this. When I was coming up to Ascot, I was behind a carriage, and it was
:23:28. > :23:28.
:23:28. > :24:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:24:16. > :24:21.the national anthem, played by the band of the Coldstream Guards.
:24:21. > :24:27.Ascot is a short journey for the Queen from Windsor Castle, but in
:24:27. > :24:33.her 60 years as monarch, she has undertaken 261 official overseas
:24:33. > :24:37.visits, 96 state visits, to 116 different countries. It is non-stop,
:24:37. > :24:42.she is our most troubled monarch. She sees herself as the Queen of
:24:42. > :24:49.the Commonwealth. She thinks it is important that she visits
:24:49. > :24:54.continually. When she was a child, when her parents went away on their
:24:54. > :25:01.big tours, they did not take her, she was at home. She was a little
:25:01. > :25:07.baby. But it is different now, when monarchs travel, they take their
:25:07. > :25:16.children with them. That is a role that has been taken on by the
:25:16. > :25:19.younger members of the family. Kate and William are given the
:25:19. > :25:25.travelling, it is very important for the younger ones to take on the
:25:25. > :25:29.mantle, because it is exhausting for the Queen to keep up the pace.
:25:29. > :25:39.On the foreign visits, the Queen has received some interesting gifts,
:25:39. > :25:44.two tortoises in the Seychelles in 1972, a bull elephant by the
:25:44. > :25:48.President of Cameroon in 1972, to mark her silver wedding anniversary,
:25:48. > :25:54.and two black beavers in Canada. would like an elephant! My
:25:54. > :26:01.favourite ever was given to her on her wedding, two pieces of burnt
:26:01. > :26:05.toast, which were sent because two ladies heard the news of the
:26:05. > :26:13.engagement and they were so excited, they burned their toast, and they
:26:13. > :26:19.thought they had better send it in to prove they were excited. Later
:26:19. > :26:23.on, we will see the Queen's colours in action once again, the purple
:26:23. > :26:32.body with gold braid, scarlet sleeves and black velvet cap with a
:26:32. > :26:37.gold fringe. It is not a gold Tassel! Those were inherited by
:26:37. > :26:41.those used by King Edward VII. was a great fan of racing. Queen
:26:41. > :26:49.Victoria had success, but King Edward VII put his heart and soul
:26:49. > :26:54.into racing. He loved but forces, the social occasion,... -- he loved
:26:54. > :27:02.the horses. He loved this celebration, the whole look. He had
:27:02. > :27:09.some incredibly successful horses. Diamond Jubilee won the Derby for
:27:09. > :27:13.him in 1900. Exactly. Charles II, most of his racing would have been
:27:13. > :27:20.done at Newmarket, but that would be one of the earlier instances of
:27:20. > :27:28.a monarch being really keen. Queen Anne was the first one,...
:27:28. > :27:32.first one here. She thought, we should have our own racehorse.
:27:32. > :27:36.Riding was so important for the monarch in the old days, because
:27:36. > :27:41.that was the way to lead into battle, you had to be good at
:27:41. > :27:46.horsemanship. Was Elizabeth the first a good rider? She was
:27:46. > :27:52.marvellous, very skilful, and that was crucial. Presumably Elizabeth
:27:52. > :27:57.the first would have ridden side- saddle? Yes. She was very skilled,
:27:57. > :28:01.very fast, and very successful. What was once an important job is
:28:01. > :28:05.now something that is a bit more ceremonial, but I love the fact the
:28:05. > :28:10.family are still so keen on horses. The Queen, her first horse was
:28:10. > :28:16.given to her, a Shetland pony, by her grandfather, and she called it
:28:16. > :28:26.piggy. Queen Victoria's first was called Dickie the donkey. He was
:28:26. > :28:29.
:28:29. > :28:33.very fast, apparently. The key the donkey! -- Dickey! They will make
:28:33. > :28:38.their way up to the royal box. For the first time, they have built a
:28:38. > :28:45.box on the padded side of the grandstand. The Duke of Edinburgh
:28:45. > :28:52.looked down on the runners from that box. It has got a smart front
:28:52. > :29:01.on it. Let's hope they watch a winner today. I have got my fingers
:29:01. > :29:05.crossed for Estimate. The box is on the other side. Everything adapts,
:29:05. > :29:09.they can walk straight across a private bridge and then, out on the
:29:09. > :29:16.paddock side, to get a good few of the horses. Hopefully, she will
:29:16. > :29:21.watch a winner today. The 50s was her time, so perhaps she will get
:29:21. > :29:27.it right in the next decade to come. Fantastic staff, and stay and enjoy
:29:27. > :29:35.the racing. I cannot wait. I have got some money on it, I have got to
:29:35. > :29:43.get my kitchen done! Let's focus on the racing. The runners are making
:29:43. > :29:49.their way into the paddock for the first race, the Albany Stakes.
:29:49. > :29:54.Of the big five races, the Coronation Stakes is the most open,
:29:54. > :30:01.there is no red hot, odds-on favourite. Device brings together
:30:01. > :30:10.the winner of the Irish and English 1000 guineas. There were three
:30:11. > :30:18.burners from this race, Laugh Out Loud, Starscope and Homecoming
:30:18. > :30:22.Queen. At this stage, she is in front. But now, she zooms away.
:30:22. > :30:32.opens up, she revelled in the conditions. At this point, you
:30:32. > :30:36.
:30:36. > :30:41.thought she would get swallowed up, 1000 Guineas, this is the most
:30:41. > :30:47.progressive performance that we have seen. It was like a freak
:30:47. > :30:52.result because she won by such a big difference. That was the market.
:30:52. > :30:55.This is the Irish 1000 Guineas, and exactly the same distance from the
:30:55. > :31:01.winning line at the start of a clip that we have just genuinely English
:31:02. > :31:06.1000 Guineas. Homecoming Queen in front. But in the orange jacket on
:31:06. > :31:10.Samitar, Martin Harley. When he wants to go past, he does. He does
:31:10. > :31:18.and the difference is the ground. That is the big difference. She is
:31:18. > :31:27.just not able to open up. He cannot get a breather like Ryan Moore. In
:31:27. > :31:32.the orange colours, you can see. Samitar goes on to win that and
:31:32. > :31:36.Ishvana second. The Homecoming Queen in 4th place. What do we make
:31:36. > :31:41.of it? She will have slightly softer ground today than she did
:31:41. > :31:45.then. And their record has proved that soft ground is almost
:31:45. > :31:49.necessary for her. I think there is no doubt about that. But they will
:31:49. > :31:55.not let her go like they did in the 1000 Guineas. Because they know
:31:55. > :32:00.what she is capable of. She has an easy lead. A fascinating contest,
:32:00. > :32:08.the most open of the five races this week. Those two and some other
:32:08. > :32:13.very good filly is lining up. Of course they are fillies, so they
:32:13. > :32:19.will be feeling better with the wet weather receding. Yes. It is an
:32:19. > :32:24.interesting race to see how they will perform. The Coronation Stakes,
:32:24. > :32:28.at 3:45pm. This was the happiest man on the
:32:28. > :32:33.racecourse yesterday, Sheikh Mohammed. He cheered home a 1- two
:32:33. > :32:38.in the Gold Cup with Colour Vision. His wife has also had a winner this
:32:38. > :32:43.week with joviality. We will be hoping for more to come. She has
:32:43. > :32:47.Newfangled in his opening race, the Albany Stakes. Newfangled riding
:32:47. > :32:54.for John Gosden. Let's look at the field for the Albany Stakes. Two-
:32:54. > :32:58.year-old fillies. A very interesting first race that we have
:32:58. > :33:04.here today. And an interesting second race as well, the ever the
:33:04. > :33:08.7th Stakes. Some of these horses ran in the Derby. -- the egg with
:33:08. > :33:13.the 7th Stakes. In a Ribblesdale, the form did not necessarily carry
:33:13. > :33:22.on. Princess Highway absolutely romped home. Will Astrology and
:33:22. > :33:32.Thought Worthy do better in the Edward VII? We will see. These are
:33:32. > :33:33.
:33:33. > :34:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:34:23. > :34:33.the runners and riders in the first Stakes. Our first race on day four.
:34:33. > :34:50.
:34:50. > :34:54.that already on the Queen's Vase, �50,000 at 6-1. Mick Fitzgerald was
:34:54. > :34:58.talking about as sensitive the fillies are to the weather. It has
:34:58. > :35:03.been a horrible spring with the cold weather and rain. That can
:35:03. > :35:08.mean that the form can be turned on its head. Despite the fact
:35:08. > :35:12.Newfangled was a decent win on soft ground last time, and is very well
:35:12. > :35:16.fancied for this one, won at Newmarket over six furlongs, that
:35:16. > :35:20.does look like the strongest form but I am not sure we have a proper
:35:20. > :35:25.pecking order yet with the two- year-old fillies. This is a good
:35:25. > :35:29.filly. She won three-and-a-half lengths at Newmarket. I know that
:35:29. > :35:39.the camp were very impressed because she beat one of their
:35:39. > :35:39.
:35:39. > :35:42.fillies. They said this was a good filly. New Approach won the Derby.
:35:42. > :35:52.He will be a sensation in a stallion ranks because he has
:35:52. > :35:52.
:35:52. > :36:00.already had the best two-year-old so far. She is quite a bit silly.
:36:00. > :36:04.She is not small. She does not look like a two-year-old type. She
:36:04. > :36:08.stands over a lot of ground and she has put that performance at
:36:08. > :36:13.Newmarket in. You have to respect that this filly is the favourite.
:36:13. > :36:20.Quite a few in this field have only had one run and are not beaten. One
:36:20. > :36:26.of those is Amazonas, trained by Ted Dunlop. Yes, Amazonas, well-
:36:26. > :36:30.bred filly, who made a good first impression. At Yarmouth. Yes, she
:36:30. > :36:37.won one of this race. I think the run up did not run particularly
:36:37. > :36:42.well in a commentary but we like her and she ran very well. -- in
:36:42. > :36:46.the commentary. She looks like a very neat two year old, seeing her
:36:46. > :36:51.go round the paddock. She looks like an early Furley. Did she
:36:51. > :36:56.suggest to you that she would come to hand very quickly? She only ran
:36:56. > :37:01.two weeks ago. She is walking past us now. She is a good-looking
:37:01. > :37:06.Furley. A mother was 4th in the Queen Mary. This is a good race.
:37:06. > :37:10.Willie Carson has been discussing this a lot. I ran against her at
:37:10. > :37:16.Newmarket and I think she is pretty good. Thank you for talking to us
:37:16. > :37:25.and good luck. Willie Carson gets worried many things people are
:37:25. > :37:31.listening in on us. The whole world is listening in! -- when he thinks
:37:31. > :37:40.people are listening in. Trying to keep The Gold Cheongsam calm before
:37:40. > :37:43.she get onto the course. She has run ones. The third at Goodwood.
:37:43. > :37:51.She is an attractive type and will definitely run much better than she
:37:51. > :37:54.did first time out. She ran green that day, and if she had not run
:37:54. > :38:00.green, she might have run. She looks as though she is ready. She
:38:00. > :38:05.is prancing. Ready to go. trainer will probably walk onto the
:38:05. > :38:09.course with her. He has won this race twice before and those are the
:38:09. > :38:13.previous winners have been beaten on their only start. -- bows of
:38:13. > :38:20.those previous winners. She has a similar profile to his other
:38:20. > :38:27.winners. Richard Hughes is a man desperate for winner. We did last
:38:27. > :38:30.night that a week at Royal Ascot does improve your manners! Making
:38:30. > :38:35.the point that you have to keep on smiling and hope that your luck
:38:35. > :38:45.changes. They think a lot of hassle. She was disappointing last time out
:38:45. > :38:52.and needs to bounce back. -- Tassel. Yes, she is a winner, but she ran
:38:52. > :38:57.badly last time. They say that she pulled up lame. The stallion that
:38:57. > :39:04.she is by, he liked the cut in the ground, so the ground should suit
:39:04. > :39:07.her. But is she good enough? They have just one third-placed runner
:39:07. > :39:14.this week, so they are trailing in the wake of the others in terms of
:39:14. > :39:19.trying to be leading jockey. Ryan Moore is now the favourite for that.
:39:19. > :39:29.William Buick has one win and some placed efforts. Joseph O'Brien got
:39:29. > :39:29.
:39:29. > :39:33.one winner, two seconds and a third. Frankie Dettori won the Gold Cup
:39:33. > :39:37.yesterday. Johnny Murtagh and Richard Hughes not on that board. A
:39:37. > :39:43.couple of the big names are still wanting to get back into that
:39:44. > :39:49.prized position. It emphasises how tough it is here this week. Some
:39:49. > :39:57.big yards have not had winners either, like Michael Stoute.
:39:57. > :40:07.have said this is the toughest place to get winners, Royal Ascot.
:40:07. > :40:10.
:40:10. > :40:15.Jamie Spencer has not had a win a yet. He is on Agent Allison. He is
:40:15. > :40:21.retained as the owner. Jamie Spencer has won this race on each
:40:21. > :40:27.of his three rides in it at prices of 10-1, 15-1 and 16-1. Not a bad
:40:27. > :40:31.record! At this race throws up good horses. It was won last year by
:40:31. > :40:36.Samitar, who went on to win the Irish 1000 Guineas, and is one of
:40:36. > :40:40.the fancied horses for the Coronation Stakes today. Let's have
:40:41. > :40:49.a look at information from the various yards, and whether that is
:40:49. > :40:59.a leading to support for different horses. Agent Allison is joint
:40:59. > :41:01.
:41:01. > :41:11.second favourite. A �20,000 that has just been struck on Newfangled.
:41:11. > :41:12.
:41:12. > :41:16.-- �20,000 bet. Those fillies now settling as they are getting away
:41:16. > :41:22.from the crowd and getting into their canters ride. They look much
:41:22. > :41:27.more relaxed. This is Eddie Ahern on board Sendmylovetorose. Oliver,
:41:27. > :41:37.the Irish-based trainer, sent her over. She has had one run and she
:41:37. > :41:37.
:41:37. > :41:46.won. It was her maiden race. I do not know much about the trainer.
:41:46. > :41:49.earned her when she won the first race. -- he owned her. The owners
:41:49. > :41:55.and the trainer obviously think that she is very good because they
:41:55. > :42:04.are bringing her over here to run in the Albany Stakes. They are
:42:04. > :42:07.running for prize of �26,000, so not bad! We will look at some of
:42:07. > :42:12.the others as well because it is important to see how they are
:42:12. > :42:22.behaving and looking. Stevie Donohoe taking the ride on All On
:42:22. > :42:22.
:42:22. > :42:30.Red. Toby Coles is the trainer of this. The first Ascot runner for
:42:30. > :42:35.him, based at Newmarket and only training for 18 months. She has got
:42:35. > :42:41.decent form. She won over six furlongs on soft ground. She looked
:42:41. > :42:44.up against it last time out. seems to have a bit of temperament.
:42:44. > :42:51.The Horse Whisperer is getting the horses into the stalls and they are
:42:51. > :43:01.at her head. He will be giving her that sweet called to get this done
:43:01. > :43:06.nice and quietly. -- sweet call. She had got a temper. This is
:43:06. > :43:12.another of the Richard Hannon Fillies. Equitania, second to
:43:12. > :43:16.Premier Steps six weeks ago. Travelled well in the race there.
:43:16. > :43:26.It is interesting that Richard Hughes does not want to writer and
:43:26. > :43:30.
:43:30. > :43:37.his riding -- does not want to ride her and is riding Tassel. There is
:43:37. > :43:46.no reason why Ryan Moore will not be on the wrong horse here. Memory
:43:46. > :43:49.was a very good filly in 2010, with temperament unfortunately. Tom
:43:49. > :43:57.Queally on Judy In Disguise, taking over the ride from Bill Turner's
:43:57. > :44:03.grandson. He trains a way down in Devon. Bill Turner usually does
:44:03. > :44:09.very well with two year-olds. This is a filly with much more ability
:44:09. > :44:16.than he normally get. He obviously thinks that she should be taking a
:44:16. > :44:24.chance in a Group race. They have gone for more experienced jockey.
:44:24. > :44:30.They seem to be checking my shoes on the Godolphin runner, Kosica.
:44:30. > :44:34.She was a narrow win at Haydock last month on her debut. She does
:44:34. > :44:40.not look to be as good as the others, but his half-sister to a
:44:40. > :44:50.sprinter in America. She ran green that does so she will improve but
:44:50. > :45:01.
:45:01. > :45:11.the price is 25 to one. She has got her away from the other horses.
:45:11. > :45:16.They had been looking at her shoes. James Joseph Fortune, riding
:45:16. > :45:23.Starscope in the Coronation, and here he is on board the third
:45:23. > :45:29.Richard Hannon runner, Light Up My Life. These fillies normally do
:45:29. > :45:39.very well. He is not as good with his colt, but he is very good with
:45:39. > :45:40.
:45:40. > :45:46.his fillies. She won at Newbury in May, a 15 runner maiden race. Our
:45:46. > :45:55.favourite is Newfangled. Hello! Steady! Light Up My Life is
:45:55. > :46:05.panicking. She had her blind on. Now, she can see, and she will
:46:05. > :46:22.
:46:22. > :46:29.the runners, being led around by one of their team, perhaps a lad
:46:29. > :46:33.from John Gosden's yard. All of these fillies, getting them in the
:46:33. > :46:38.stalls, it is not easy, because most of them have and the ever run
:46:38. > :46:42.once in their life, they have been round a paddock with a big crowd
:46:42. > :46:48.humming and hissing around them. They do not understand the noise,
:46:48. > :46:55.they have never had it before. It is a big experience for them, this
:46:55. > :47:03.race. John Gosden said after the win on the second day, after they
:47:03. > :47:07.lost a promising horse, he says racing is a game of a poising
:47:08. > :47:15.forces -- opposing forces, of Sandown's. It certainly is.
:47:15. > :47:21.William Buick, he could have been badly injured. I remember the day
:47:21. > :47:31.after he got off his winner, his knee buckled, so he banged his knee
:47:31. > :47:32.
:47:32. > :47:42.on that fall. Something has trouble at the stalls, they are looking.
:47:42. > :47:49.William Buick is in contention to Pete the champion jockey. Four more
:47:49. > :47:54.to go forward for the opening race of Royal Ascot, on the fourth day.
:47:54. > :48:00.Two-year-old fillies. Mickael Barzalona grabbing the ear of
:48:00. > :48:10.Kosika. She will need some force from the handlers as well. Their
:48:10. > :48:10.
:48:11. > :48:14.Beko. She inches reluctantly forward. Let's join Jim McGrath.
:48:14. > :48:24.She is being stubborn. She won at Haydock, she showed a lot of
:48:24. > :48:29.promise. It is different here, the different atmosphere entirely.
:48:29. > :48:36.There is a bit of a buzz around. There was when she went down the
:48:36. > :48:44.post. She has got nervous. Sendmylovetorose just went into the
:48:44. > :48:54.stalls. Purple, with light green diamonds, sleeves and cap. William
:48:54. > :49:01.
:49:01. > :49:07.Buick on Newfangled. He is having a persuade her to go forward? She is
:49:07. > :49:15.the only one out of line. One of there is getting very restless.
:49:15. > :49:24.Sendmylovetorose. She has got very restless. She is out of the stalls.
:49:24. > :49:31.She is limping away. -- Eddie Ahern is limping away. This is very
:49:31. > :49:41.unfortunate for the filly. She is an Irish filly, trained by Andy
:49:41. > :49:41.
:49:41. > :49:49.Oliver. A nasty experience for her. Eddie Ahern is walking away. He is
:49:49. > :49:55.very lucky to have got away with that. That is a frightening moment.
:49:55. > :50:00.There he is, limping around. He will be very happy he is out of
:50:00. > :50:04.there. When a young horse gets really excited, really nervous and
:50:04. > :50:14.fractious, there is not a great deal you can do. Andy Oliver is the
:50:14. > :50:15.
:50:15. > :50:20.trainer. It looks like they are going to try... The horse is up OK,
:50:20. > :50:25.which is great news. That is Sendmylovetorose. She appears to be
:50:25. > :50:32.all right, but a nasty experience for her. They have taken the saddle
:50:32. > :50:42.of, she will not run. That will leave 15 runners. We have got one
:50:42. > :50:43.
:50:43. > :50:51.more out, Judy In Disguise, Tom Queally. Let's see if she will take
:50:51. > :50:56.her place. The vets are having a look. Just to see if she was harmed.
:50:56. > :51:01.They are checking her hind legs to see if she is OK. The vets will
:51:01. > :51:06.always have a look at any horse who is involved in any sort of incident
:51:06. > :51:11.like that. The utmost care is taken to see that they are fit and OK to
:51:11. > :51:16.take part. If there is any doubt, they take them out. She seems to be
:51:16. > :51:22.trotting OK. Tom Queally is back in the saddle. Kosika, they seem to
:51:22. > :51:32.have lost the battle with her. Judy In Disguise goes in. I do not think
:51:32. > :51:33.
:51:33. > :51:39.Kosika will go in. Light Up My Life is away smartly. Judy In Disguise,
:51:39. > :51:46.and Newfangled. Not far away, Ana Emaratiya. And a tussle. On the
:51:46. > :51:56.near side, Mary's Daughter is further back. A Equitania in the
:51:56. > :51:58.
:51:58. > :52:03.centre. It is Newfangled, taking them along. Then, Judy In Disguise.
:52:03. > :52:13.Followed by Ana Emaratiya, and PASOK, and Premier Steps and Mary's
:52:13. > :52:15.
:52:15. > :52:21.Daughter. Further back, Amazonas. They were followed by Becky Lou.
:52:21. > :52:27.William Buick inside, and a look at Newfangled. She has opened up a gap
:52:27. > :52:34.in the twinkling of an eye. It is capital letter newfangled. She is
:52:34. > :52:41.six lengths clear. She is racing away with this. She is getting a
:52:41. > :52:49.bit weary, but she is going to win. It is tied for second place,
:52:49. > :52:54.Premier Steps and Agent Allison. Followed by Amazonas, followed
:52:54. > :52:59.further back by Becky Lou and Ana Emaratiya, followed by Light Up My
:53:00. > :53:08.Life, and then Mary's Daughter. Tassel is the last to finish. Be
:53:08. > :53:16.very impressive performance by Newfangled, this filly. Trained by
:53:16. > :53:23.John Gosden. Ridden by William Buick. It is bolting in. Kit is
:53:23. > :53:31.tied for second place. On the nearside, Agent Allison, on the far
:53:31. > :53:36.side, Premier Steps. Behind them, Amazonas in fourth place. Then, The
:53:36. > :53:43.Gold Cheongsam. They were followed by Becky Lou, and a gap to Ana
:53:43. > :53:53.Emaratiya. Further back, Mary's Daughter, and then Light Up My Life,
:53:53. > :53:54.
:53:54. > :54:01.and behind them, Judy In Disguise, Equitania, Shafaani, and the tussle
:54:01. > :54:11.his last. The winner is Newfangled. Ridden by William Buick. There is
:54:11. > :54:12.
:54:12. > :54:17.Eddie Ahern, going into the ambulance. There is the horse. That
:54:17. > :54:23.is Sendmylovetorose. She appears to be OK, but a nasty experience.
:54:23. > :54:31.There is the winner, a pleasant experience for her. She won last
:54:31. > :54:36.time at Newmarket, two weeks ago. She is a very talented filly. She
:54:36. > :54:42.had that race want in about three strides. She got a bit tired
:54:42. > :54:51.towards the line, but she still won by three or four lengths. Two-and-
:54:51. > :55:00.a-half lengths. And a short head. William Buick ride the winner of
:55:00. > :55:05.the Albany Stakes, -- Newfangled. The bid has gone through her mouth,
:55:05. > :55:13.she was difficult to steer, but the Princess can celebrate her second
:55:13. > :55:17.win of the week. Next time, I bet she will have an Australian
:55:17. > :55:21.noseband all a bit with bigger sides, to stop that happening,
:55:21. > :55:25.because she wants to go to the right all the time, and William
:55:25. > :55:31.wants to make her stay straight. She was handing it, and you could
:55:31. > :55:39.see it was coming through. It has come all the way through. A very
:55:39. > :55:47.pleased trainer. She was impressive. The stallion, the best course, the
:55:47. > :55:52.best filly, he has not had many runners so far, but my goodness.
:55:52. > :56:01.She has justified favouritism in style. The price looks generous,
:56:01. > :56:06.because she had the victory after four strides. William Buick had two
:56:06. > :56:16.winners last year, Nathaniel and Beach Fire, and he has matched that
:56:16. > :56:17.
:56:17. > :56:27.already this year. He has more chances to come. She is a filly
:56:27. > :56:32.that will develop. She is quite big. Normally, the winners of short and
:56:32. > :56:37.strong, but this one is lengthy, quite tall. Quite flat sided. The
:56:37. > :56:47.only thing she can do is develop, get stronger, and when she gets
:56:47. > :56:57.stronger, she will go faster. I do not know how far she will get. I do
:56:57. > :56:59.
:56:59. > :57:03.not know the family, but she will end up being... I wonder whether
:57:03. > :57:11.the pieces were a bit too long. Normally with bridles, they set it
:57:11. > :57:18.high in the mouth. Already criticising?! If you look at it,...
:57:18. > :57:25.It is fine there. I just wonder, they have gone to the top notch on
:57:25. > :57:29.the bridle, and they cannot go any higher. Either she has got a long
:57:29. > :57:34.mouth or her cheeks are quite short, and therefore the bridle is a bit
:57:34. > :57:39.big. I am just making an observation. It is not a problem.
:57:39. > :57:45.They will find something to suit her. She will run in a different
:57:45. > :57:55.bridle! It has not stopped her, and it has not had any effect, and she
:57:55. > :57:55.
:57:55. > :58:04.has one very well. Newfangled. It is all part of the service! Here
:58:04. > :58:14.he is, William Buick. Coming into the enclosure. All jockeys are
:58:14. > :58:14.
:58:14. > :58:24.reporting that the ground is soft. The time, 4.32. -- 4.32 outside the
:58:24. > :58:28.record. This is a good filly. She raced a bit keen in the early
:58:28. > :58:38.stages, but she did accelerate, when asked, at the two-furlong
:58:38. > :58:40.
:58:40. > :58:49.marker. She is going to be a very smart type. She did the first time
:58:49. > :58:58.out as well. Sheikh Mohammed will be delighted. The Princess in her
:58:58. > :59:05.lucky green colours. They were carried to victory by the sire of
:59:05. > :59:15.this filly. The winner, a favourite to start the day, that makes a nice
:59:15. > :59:31.
:59:31. > :59:35.for the Guineas. Newfangled being congratulated by
:59:35. > :59:42.all of the connections in the paddock. I will hopefully Crapper a
:59:42. > :59:52.word with the Princess. -- I will hopefully grab a word. Would you
:59:52. > :59:56.
:59:56. > :00:03.mind having a quick chat? I understand... It is wonderful to
:00:03. > :00:13.have her, she is really special. We were talking about how much
:00:13. > :00:21.
:00:21. > :00:26.Machiavellian there is in her, so have your horses winning. And she
:00:26. > :00:31.is a favourite for next season as well. Fingers crossed. William
:00:31. > :00:35.Buick is here, too. Many congratulations. It looked as
:00:35. > :00:39.though she was taking you to the front rather than you wanting to be
:00:39. > :00:44.there. I was the passenger and that was not the plan because of the
:00:44. > :00:48.strong headwind. But the thing is, she jumped first, nothing else
:00:49. > :00:55.jumped in front of me. You know, when you fight resources, there is
:00:55. > :01:00.only one winner, the race course, not the jockey. -- the racehorse.
:01:00. > :01:04.She has got a lot of quality. I liked her all along and it is nice
:01:04. > :01:08.to have another winner at Royal Ascot. The impression when she won
:01:09. > :01:14.at Newmarket was that she was very good. She was showing signs to you
:01:15. > :01:22.that she was above average. Absolutely. At Newmarket she ran on
:01:22. > :01:32.soft ground and still won very well. She has good quality. How far will
:01:32. > :01:34.
:01:34. > :01:38.she get? Six is no maximum. -- her maximum. Very impressive. It was
:01:38. > :01:42.the plan to settle in behind the pace, but she had other ideas.
:01:42. > :01:49.There was a strong headwind and I understand that you want to sit in
:01:49. > :01:53.the slipstream, like with Formula One drivers. But she has a lot of
:01:53. > :01:58.speed and she did it very well. She has always been athletic. We liked
:01:58. > :02:07.her, even when she was 10-1 and nobody else did. She is a very good
:02:07. > :02:12.filly. Let's have a little holiday. We will not rush in July. We will
:02:12. > :02:19.wait until August. Everybody is saying she is the favourite for the
:02:19. > :02:23.Guineas, with prices from 8-1 up to 16-1. At home she looks like she
:02:23. > :02:29.can do any trick because she was settled but today she just decided
:02:29. > :02:36.to go. It is my job to settle her down. She is a Machiavellian, so we
:02:36. > :02:39.will see. That is all for the future. This is how Newfangled won
:02:39. > :02:45.today. We have heard a lot about her so we will look at the other
:02:45. > :02:50.horses. She is already in front and has basically won the race already.
:02:50. > :02:54.Further behind, Equitania, she did not settle very well. Agent Allison
:02:54. > :03:01.in the pink and green. On the right, Becky Lou. She was not one of the
:03:01. > :03:06.obvious ones but she was not beaten that far in the end. You'll see her
:03:06. > :03:10.flashing past the post in 5th place. She did very well to overcome a
:03:10. > :03:15.slow jump out of the start. Equitania was very keen early on in
:03:15. > :03:19.the race and did not do herself any favours. Jamie Spencer, we spoke to
:03:19. > :03:28.him, and he was delighted with his source. She just needs probably a
:03:28. > :03:34.mile, even at this stage. -- delighted with his horse.
:03:34. > :03:37.stakes over seven furlongs next time, maybe, one furlong more.
:03:37. > :03:41.Richard Hannon's filly. She has been surrounded by horses and will
:03:41. > :03:46.not settle, which is difficult. the back, you want them to relax
:03:46. > :03:51.and she certainly did not. Newfangled, miles ahead. You heard
:03:51. > :03:56.the train are talking about the York meeting in a couple of months,
:03:56. > :03:59.towards the end of August. And then the group one race, the top level
:03:59. > :04:05.the vision for two-year-old fillies, which is at Newmarket have further
:04:05. > :04:11.in the season in September. -- top- level the vision. Newfangled might
:04:11. > :04:20.be favourite for next year's 1000 Guineas at market. The William
:04:20. > :04:24.Buick, each of these winners at Royal Ascot, the 5th of his career,
:04:24. > :04:28.cementing his position as the bright young thing. He is 24 next
:04:28. > :04:32.month. His father was a champion in Scandinavia. He was born in a way
:04:32. > :04:37.that he is a bright young talent and a great horseman. A very good
:04:37. > :04:44.jockey. Given that he is riding with a slight injury, which he is
:04:44. > :04:46.getting over... He looks all right! I think he is such a talent. We
:04:46. > :04:56.have mores intercom and our chance to look at the fashion and feel the
:04:56. > :05:00.atmosphere of this great meeting. - - we have more to come. And now a
:05:00. > :05:05.chance to look at the fashion. There are some beauties today.
:05:05. > :05:11.People having to hang onto their hats because of the winds. Lots of
:05:12. > :05:15.red this year with Carole Middleton wearing it very well yesterday. It
:05:15. > :05:20.is television on Wednesday. The reason men dress in this manner is
:05:20. > :05:24.because of Beau Brummell, the friend of George IV in the 1820's,
:05:24. > :05:29.who decreed that men should dressed in an understated way so that the
:05:30. > :05:38.women could shine. Beau Brummell took five hours to get ready every
:05:38. > :05:45.day and to shine his shoes with champagne. Do you do that? Orange
:05:45. > :05:48.juice, which is better at 8:30am! You are a darling of the magazines.
:05:48. > :05:55.Multi-award-winning fashion designer and sharing this week.
:05:55. > :05:58.we have just had our show this time upstairs. We showed my personal
:05:58. > :06:02.archive selection of my favourite pieces, which was a mixture of
:06:02. > :06:11.great day wear, cocktail wear, and some while pieces and some pieces
:06:11. > :06:15.where people will say what the hell was that? Let's bring in the girls
:06:15. > :06:22.and talk about the beautiful dresses. This is one of our
:06:22. > :06:28.signature pieces. We have laser work. Hand knotted, pretty much all
:06:28. > :06:32.made by hand. It is haute couture. It is one of the most popular
:06:32. > :06:39.pieces from the spring-summer collection. A real favourite of
:06:39. > :06:42.mine. That is stunning. You are known for crazy prints as well.
:06:43. > :06:47.are a mixture of structured pieces and some strong print work, which
:06:47. > :06:57.we do not appear but is on the video clip. This is a double bond a
:06:57. > :07:00.
:07:00. > :07:05.clever piece. This has been a great piece. -- double bonded leather
:07:05. > :07:09.piece. That would not make it into the royal enclosure but it is for
:07:09. > :07:17.the red carpet. Not with the regulation now. But nice for the
:07:17. > :07:22.show. How important is it for someone like you to be dressing
:07:22. > :07:26.celebrities? It is phenomenally important. For an independent label
:07:26. > :07:31.like mine, not a global brand, to have that support is fantastic and
:07:31. > :07:36.very essential to our business. This is very intricate. I love the
:07:36. > :07:42.detail on the top. Swarovski Crystal pearls, making little
:07:42. > :07:48.clusters. Three weeks' worth of hand embroidery to make that. And
:07:49. > :07:54.specially woven lace in Switzerland, all designed in-house. It has
:07:54. > :07:59.transparency with that slip underneath it. Strong elegance but
:07:59. > :08:04.beautiful as well. Quirky elegance. It is stunning. Thank you very much.
:08:04. > :08:09.Just a quick note, because people will be looking and thinking, how
:08:09. > :08:14.much does that cost? They are extraordinary, but actually you do
:08:14. > :08:19.see beautiful creations on High Street these days. Totally. Why do
:08:19. > :08:24.I straight line for a new look, which is fantastically good. -- I
:08:25. > :08:27.do a High Street line. Whatever it is that you are buying, it should
:08:27. > :08:32.be the best quality, the best workmanship, the best embroidery
:08:32. > :08:41.that you can get for that price. There are good quality fabrics and
:08:41. > :08:45.designs for everybody to burst -- purchase. Thank you. The next race
:08:45. > :08:50.is the King Edward VII, over a mile-and-a-half. Sometimes called
:08:50. > :08:59.the Ascot Derby. We have two interesting runners coming from
:08:59. > :09:09.Epsom, the third and the 4th, Astrology and Thought Worthy. Ryan
:09:09. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:28.Moore Road Astrology at Epsom as Shantaram to Thought Worthy.
:09:28. > :09:37.This is welcome to see, Eddie Ahern back in the Jockey room. I suspect
:09:37. > :09:41.that the video will look at him because he is in pain. -- the
:09:41. > :09:48.physiotherapist. We have had some nasty incidents with horses in the
:09:48. > :09:52.stalls, including at the 1000 Guineas. But Eddie Ahern is OK and
:09:52. > :09:56.it is a very tough job. We will leave before he takes off all of
:09:57. > :10:00.his clothes! Did you see what happened yesterday? I think the
:10:00. > :10:03.filly fell on top of Eddie Ahern and he banged his knee. It was in
:10:03. > :10:12.the stalls and they are made of metal so he was proved quite badly.
:10:12. > :10:17.We wish him all the best. He has got the pills. Yes, four times a
:10:17. > :10:22.day! It can be pretty dangerous. Absolutely. You were due to be
:10:22. > :10:30.riding in the next race but William Buick has switched to Thought
:10:30. > :10:38.Worthy, so you will be helping us. Yesterday, we could have called it
:10:38. > :10:47.Ladies' Day, we could have all that Gold Cup day, but it was -- we
:10:47. > :10:54.could have called it Gold Cup day, but it was Frankie Dettori's day!
:10:54. > :10:59.Did it mean a bit? It was great. The Gold Cup is one of the best
:10:59. > :11:04.races at Royal Ascot. Winning for the 5th time, to be presented by
:11:04. > :11:09.the Queen, it was a special day. He does not get any better than this.
:11:09. > :11:17.I think you summed this up better than anyone. My valet said, it do
:11:17. > :11:21.not kiss me on the mouth because he got stick from his wife!
:11:21. > :11:29.epitomise the joy of racing because when you are, you are really up.
:11:29. > :11:32.you do not get excited at Royal Ascot there is no point in doing it.
:11:32. > :11:37.You are riding the best horses in the world and when you win, it
:11:37. > :11:46.means a lot. Don't you feel sorry for the jockeys that are not riding
:11:46. > :11:55.winners? There are lots of them! I was one of those. Until yesterday!
:11:55. > :11:58.The Gold Cup is very special. Absolutely. Plus, the Godolphin
:11:58. > :12:04.team, we had a quiet time in the spring and everybody was down in
:12:04. > :12:09.the dumps, and it means a lot to everybody. It boosts morale. There
:12:09. > :12:15.was bumping between you and Barzalona. You had the inquiry. He
:12:15. > :12:18.did not say anything. You said what you wanted to say. They were
:12:18. > :12:23.galloping for 2 1/4 miles. They came to the last bit. They were
:12:23. > :12:27.tired and rolling around. The stewards are very fair. There was
:12:27. > :12:36.never any doubt. Colour Vision was the best horse in the race. And you
:12:36. > :12:42.won out right. When horses go that far, they get tired. They roll
:12:42. > :12:45.around. Luckily it was not bad enough to be disqualified. It was
:12:45. > :12:49.interesting yesterday because we so rarely get the sound. It is like
:12:49. > :12:55.being back at school in front of the headmaster! We had to stand
:12:55. > :13:00.with our hands behind our backs in my day. Everybody referring to
:13:00. > :13:07.reach other as Mr Barzalona and so on! Then we leave and we kill each
:13:07. > :13:11.other! Was embarrassed because he was very quiet in there? He has not
:13:11. > :13:18.been in this country very much. His English is getting better. He will
:13:18. > :13:25.learn. You will be able to stick the knife in it next year it.
:13:25. > :13:29.forget, we are running for the same boss! We cannot complain that much.
:13:29. > :13:39.This is the 25th Royal Ascot. You must have been 16 when you started.
:13:39. > :13:40.
:13:40. > :13:50.Can you remember? Yes, it was for Clive. I was seven-stone seven. I
:13:50. > :13:51.
:13:51. > :13:59.am nowhere near that now! remember your first winner. Mark of
:13:59. > :14:05.Distinction. He went past me. was 18. You always remember every
:14:05. > :14:10.race that you win. I remember the Queen Alexandra in 1996. Every race
:14:10. > :14:17.is a championship race. Do you always get tired in that phrase? I
:14:17. > :14:24.always get halfway round and my knees start to go. You want a horse
:14:24. > :14:29.that troubled because you can get tired really quickly! -- that
:14:29. > :14:33.travels. Think about the Grand National! That is 4.5 miles.
:14:33. > :14:38.have been showing you Features this week about the people that work
:14:38. > :14:43.every single day in racing, at the glamorous and the non-glamorous
:14:43. > :14:53.ones. The people that the jockeys really depend on, the ballot. And
:14:53. > :14:54.
:14:54. > :14:58.this is a day in the life of David. He is nicknamed Musty. The most
:14:58. > :15:02.important thing is a preparation. These bags were dropped in my
:15:02. > :15:12.garage last night at about midnight. Everything clean and ready to go
:15:12. > :15:16.
:15:16. > :15:22.their backs and colours. I rode badly, so we ended up in this job.
:15:22. > :15:25.It is brilliant to still be involved. The best thing in this
:15:25. > :15:32.week is the atmosphere. It is better than being in Folkestone on
:15:32. > :15:37.a Monday! It is a bit quick, everybody is focused. Certain
:15:37. > :15:42.jockeys like to have banter. If things are not going well, you
:15:42. > :15:48.might catch the wrath of it all. Basically, we get on all right.
:15:48. > :15:58.Everybody gets treated the same. We have got Johnny Murtagh, Richard
:15:58. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:04.Hughes, Tom Queally. The time is 11:30am, I am preparing to the
:16:05. > :16:09.saddles for the first, second and third races. They will start
:16:09. > :16:19.drifting dinner. Five minutes to have a cup of coffee. The calm
:16:19. > :16:23.
:16:23. > :16:27.before the storm. Johnny has not got much time, he is riding the 4pm
:16:27. > :16:37.here and the six-hour 5:00pm at Leopardstown. We are just waiting
:16:37. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:55.jockey has to come back, get a different saddle, different colours.
:16:55. > :17:04.You have got a turnaround of about four minutes, and if you make a
:17:04. > :17:08.mistake, it throws you. What could go wrong? The wrong set of colours.
:17:08. > :17:14.Suddenly, you have got to find the next set of colours. If it does not
:17:14. > :17:22.run smoothly, the race is not great, so it is very important to keep the
:17:23. > :17:31.race is on time. I have never tried any other job. I am happy, and
:17:31. > :17:36.hopefully they will have a few winners between them.
:17:36. > :17:42.A day in the life of a ballet, and they take home the breeches and
:17:42. > :17:48.they wash them, their work never ends! Thank you! It is nice to see
:17:48. > :17:55.your working life! He has got nothing to do at the moment, it is
:17:55. > :18:01.fine! Let's move ahead, and look at the runners for the next race.
:18:01. > :18:06.Thought Worthy, Frankie Dettori was due to ride that walls.
:18:06. > :18:11.He has got a couple of exciting days coming up. You have got a
:18:11. > :18:16.Thought Worthy here, ran very well at the Derby, the indications are
:18:17. > :18:22.that he is over the exertions? is the hope. Those of the
:18:22. > :18:31.indications. He looks terrific. What about turning around the form
:18:31. > :18:36.with Astrology? Very difficult. It is always difficult, no matter what
:18:36. > :18:41.kind of a race you are in! You have got two other runners today,
:18:41. > :18:46.Gatewood, so impressive at Epsom. We are looking forward to seeing
:18:46. > :18:52.Gatewood. The only question, does he tolerate the soft as he does the
:18:52. > :19:00.good? But he is a genuine horse. Tomorrow, another very exciting
:19:00. > :19:08.course. He is winning and winning. How good could he be? He could be
:19:08. > :19:18.fairly good. The vein is an enormous help for him. The most

:19:18. > :19:23.satisfying thing for you, all three are home breads. All four. I have
:19:24. > :19:29.one on a suicide mission, now I know what the kamikazes were like!
:19:29. > :19:36.Good luck with Thought Worthy. I have been joined by a
:19:36. > :19:42.professional punter. A good thing, Astrology? He should be. He got
:19:42. > :19:46.softened up early, and he did well to keep up the gallop. The only
:19:46. > :19:51.succumbed in the latter stages. wonder if that has taken the edge
:19:51. > :20:00.off him. He is a robust horse, he can go on soft ground, so he should
:20:00. > :20:06.be fine. The best bet is in the 4:25pm, Mijhaar. He was a good
:20:07. > :20:16.third place in the last time around. He is well drawn, I am keeping the
:20:17. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :20:25.faith. Good liquid that one. Astrology is now 4-6. A 50,000
:20:25. > :20:32.pound bet on Astrology, just a stroke behind me.
:20:32. > :20:40.Let's look at the favourite. Ryan Moore rode him in the Derby as a
:20:40. > :20:44.pacemaker, really. A pacemaker for Camelot. But a bloody good
:20:45. > :20:53.pacemaker! He finished in third place. At one stage, he looked like
:20:53. > :20:58.winning it. You can see where Camelot came from. How impressed
:20:58. > :21:07.were you with the speed Camelot showed? On this form, there is no
:21:07. > :21:15.way that the roles should be reversed. He gave him an inch, and
:21:15. > :21:19.he went past him with ease, and only Camelot got him at the end.
:21:19. > :21:27.was just devastating when he suddenly took off, but do not be
:21:27. > :21:33.too dismayed in terms of how far Her astrologer gets beaten. -- how
:21:33. > :21:40.far Astrology gets beaten. I would imagine Brian Moore would
:21:40. > :21:45.understand that he will ride him steadier. There are only five
:21:45. > :21:50.runners. When you get the small field, you do not always get the
:21:50. > :21:57.same sort of fast pace that you would end the Derby. In the Derby,
:21:57. > :22:07.they go off at a good gallop. Today, it will be a more pedestrian pace.
:22:07. > :22:08.
:22:08. > :22:13.A more even pace. He might do the same as what he did at Chester.
:22:13. > :22:22.I do not think any other force -- any other horse will make the
:22:22. > :22:30.running. That is what he did at Chester, and at Epsom. He can just
:22:30. > :22:37.see Noble Mission, the brother to Frankel. He was breathtaking,
:22:37. > :22:41.Frankel. 11 lengths, it is unheard. This horse is making good steadier
:22:41. > :22:45.progress, and it is unfair to talk about him in the same breath as
:22:45. > :22:52.Frankel, but he is a character, he needs the road on him, but he is
:22:52. > :23:00.getting there. This is a mile and a half horse, and they are brothers!
:23:00. > :23:04.You never know what will happen. He is not as strong as Frankel, he is
:23:04. > :23:12.smaller, not a stronger. Henry Cecil looking for an eighth win in
:23:12. > :23:17.this race. He has got Noble Mission and Thomas June the -- Thomas
:23:17. > :23:26.Chippendale. Ryan Moore on-board Astrology. They
:23:26. > :23:34.are offered. The Kindle did the seventh Stakes. -- King Edward VII
:23:34. > :23:40.Stakes. Thought Worthy in second place, Noble Mission behind him.
:23:40. > :23:46.Followed by Thomas Chippendale, and then, Initiator. A steady pace,
:23:46. > :23:51.Delyn to the first furlong and a half. Astrology dictating terms. In
:23:51. > :23:56.second place, Thought Worthy, just trying to tuck in behind, getting
:23:56. > :24:04.in the slipstream of the leader. Behind him, Noble Mission, with the
:24:04. > :24:11.pink cap, on the inside of Thomas Chippendale. All the time, running
:24:11. > :24:19.down. The leader is Astrology. Fairly close to the inside rail. He
:24:19. > :24:27.leads by two legs. Then, Thought Worthy, Thomas Chippendale, Noble
:24:27. > :24:32.Mission, and Initiator. Six-and-a- half furlongs out. Astrology
:24:32. > :24:38.dictating terms, from Thought Worthy. They were third and fourth
:24:38. > :24:44.in the Derby. Let's see if the Epsom form translates into an Ascot
:24:44. > :24:51.success, unlike yesterday. Behind them, Noble Mission. All the time,
:24:51. > :25:00.they are running back towards home. Still, Astrology. Ford were the on
:25:01. > :25:07.the outside. Noble Mission inside. They are raising up to walk the
:25:07. > :25:16.half-mile. It is still Astrology. Then, Thought Worthy. He is edging
:25:16. > :25:23.closer. Then, Noble Mission. Four away, Thomas Chippendale and
:25:23. > :25:28.Initiator. The leader on the far side, Astrology, being chased by
:25:28. > :25:36.Thought Worthy. On the outside, Thomas Chippendale. In the centre,
:25:36. > :25:42.Noble Mission. A furlong and a half to go. Thought Worthy feared left.
:25:42. > :25:48.Noble Mission is knuckling down. Followed by Thomas Chippendale.
:25:48. > :25:53.Noble Mission in the lead. But now, Thomas Chippendale on the near side.
:25:53. > :25:58.It is Thomas Chippendale for Johnny Murtagh. It is Thomas Chippendale
:25:58. > :26:04.who wins. Half a length to Noble Mission, and half-a-length to
:26:04. > :26:08.Thought Worthy. Then, a gap to Astrology, and a long gap to
:26:08. > :26:18.Initiator. The winner is Thomas Chippendale, a classic Johnny
:26:18. > :26:18.
:26:18. > :26:23.Murtagh ride. He has beaten Noble Mission, Tom Queally. Sir Henry
:26:23. > :26:30.Cecil first and second. Back in third place, Thought Worthy,
:26:30. > :26:34.William Buick. In fourth place, Astrology, Ryan Moore. Thomas
:26:34. > :26:43.Chippendale on the outside. Many came from that late. It wins by
:26:43. > :26:48.half-a-length. Then, Noble Mission in the centre. Frankel's brother. A
:26:49. > :26:56.neck away in third place, Thought Worthy. Then, a long gap to
:26:56. > :27:04.Astrology. Astrology went out like a light. Back in fifth place,
:27:04. > :27:08.Initiator. When William Buick goes, he Beer's very sharply left. For a
:27:08. > :27:14.couple of strides, this has inconvenienced Noble Mission in the
:27:14. > :27:21.centre. He did not quite have the squeeze to hold his position, but
:27:21. > :27:27.he knuckles down. He shows a lot of staying power. Eventually, on the
:27:27. > :27:33.right, it is Thomas Chippendale who swoops. He has got a late surge out
:27:33. > :27:40.of this, Johnny Murtagh. A beautiful ride. He has caught up to
:27:40. > :27:48.when it narrowly. Half a length and a neck, the official distance. Two
:27:48. > :27:53.minutes 35.41. The first and second for Sir Henry
:27:53. > :28:00.Cecil, what a week. It started with Frankel, and now Thomas Chippendale
:28:00. > :28:04.comes through. Thought Worthy left behind to win the King Edward VII
:28:04. > :28:08.Stakes. Johnny Murtagh are benefiting from Tom Queally's
:28:08. > :28:15.decision. Noble Mission was governed the best of all of them.
:28:15. > :28:18.Would he get a gap? He gets knocked sideways by Thought Worthy. The
:28:18. > :28:26.hands away from the whip of William Buick and he interferes with Noble
:28:26. > :28:31.Mission. I do not think he interfered with the result. But the
:28:31. > :28:41.winner just saw the distance out a lot better than Noble Mission.
:28:41. > :28:43.
:28:43. > :28:51.Thomas Chippendale. There is the owner. It is nice to see him having
:28:51. > :28:58.a winner here at Royal Ascot. He has had a lot of success here.
:28:58. > :29:05.Especially with his two-year-old son. -- his two-year-old horses. He
:29:05. > :29:14.is doing the happy dance, and getting a kiss from a young girl.
:29:14. > :29:18.Thomas Chippendale stayed really well. Unfortunately, not for the
:29:18. > :29:24.others, but Astrology, the best horse in the race, everything
:29:24. > :29:29.seemed to go well for him, there was nothing wrong, but the Derby
:29:29. > :29:32.has paid the penalty. It is only 21 days since the Derby, and it is
:29:32. > :29:37.obvious that the horse has not fully recovered from the exertions
:29:37. > :29:44.that day. The first winner of the week for Johnny Murtagh, his 39th
:29:44. > :29:49.in his career. Henry Cecil extends his record, eight wins coming in
:29:49. > :29:56.this race, he has been extremely successful, with very good horses.
:29:56. > :30:02.Thomas Chippendale, the latest. A fantastic record and a fantastic
:30:02. > :30:11.week for Sir Henry Cecil. Frankel winning, in spectacular form. Then,
:30:11. > :30:21.this was winning as well, Thomas Chippendale. The owner has invested
:30:21. > :30:31.a small fortune in racing. Over jumps and on the Flat. His jumping
:30:31. > :30:33.
:30:33. > :30:42.has dwindled. He is concentrating every owner is after and he has
:30:42. > :30:46.achieved that today. Johnny Murtagh, that was a really good bit of
:30:46. > :30:56.horsemanship. He got that horse home. There were some tricky
:30:56. > :31:01.moments at the end. He managed to get it home. As Abson takes its
:31:01. > :31:05.toll again, let's check the full result.
:31:05. > :31:15.The winner of the King Edward Stakes, Thomas Chippendale,
:31:15. > :31:19.
:31:19. > :31:24.massively improved. Well done to Sir Henry Cecil. The only other
:31:24. > :31:29.winner for Sir Henry Cecil refused to race last year. So technically
:31:29. > :31:35.this is his only win. He has a lovely head. Not as strong as Noble
:31:35. > :31:42.Mission. He is a nice type of horse. He has improved so much to win
:31:42. > :31:46.today. When you won at Newmarket, his handicap was 86. I would
:31:46. > :31:51.imagine, talking figures today, that would have been over 100.
:31:52. > :31:58.Let's hear from Johnny Murtagh. When Noble Mission came alongside
:31:58. > :32:01.you, you thought that was it? to get organised. He was a bit
:32:01. > :32:06.green and raw. I put my stick down and changed hands and he
:32:06. > :32:16.accelerated to the line. He is still a baby, still learning. It is
:32:16. > :32:16.
:32:17. > :32:20.great to ride a winner at the -- for Cecil. It was great. We have
:32:20. > :32:26.not got much time before we switch channel, so thank you for talking
:32:26. > :32:31.to us. A pleasure. Johnny Murtagh, another jockey with his name on the
:32:31. > :32:40.winners' board. That is the tiny Homecoming Queen, the diminutive
:32:40. > :32:46.Philippe that his favourite for the Coronation Stakes. -- diminutive
:32:46. > :32:55.filly. He will be ridden by Aidan O'Brien for his father. Samitar 4
:32:55. > :32:59.Mick Channon. We were talking to Friday did Terry, and he is really
:32:59. > :33:05.keen for Laugh Out Loud. -- to Frankie Dettori. He should be
:33:05. > :33:10.because he has got a really good chance. He could do the same as
:33:10. > :33:15.what Henry Cecil did there, the one two. Homecoming Queen is a tiny
:33:15. > :33:22.filly. Her form on soft ground is very good. It is when she runs on
:33:22. > :33:25.the firm ground... I will not say it is rubbish but not good. She has
:33:26. > :33:30.to have cut in the ground to show off her best. There is a strong
:33:30. > :33:37.headwind down the cause. Maybe she has got an advantage because she is
:33:37. > :33:41.so little. Like hitting a shot in the goal! The Coronation Stakes is
:33:41. > :33:44.coming up on BBC Two. We have three more live races for you before we
