Day 5

:00:19. > :00:27.You dream of it as a kid. All you can concentrate on is the clock.

:00:27. > :00:37.The countdown. Have I dreamed this dream before? Did I just imagine

:00:37. > :00:39.

:00:39. > :00:48.this place? Shadows of past greats begin, memories of glory days echo

:00:49. > :00:58.around these halls. Just how will I make my mark? For 300 years we have

:00:59. > :00:59.

:00:59. > :01:05.descended upon this holy ground. This heartland of racing and

:01:05. > :01:13.majesty. This place doesn't shout allowed to you -- aloud to you. It

:01:13. > :01:18.whispers with grace. Wheupb I journey to -- when I

:01:18. > :01:28.journey will the line will I be able to block out the screaming

:01:28. > :01:29.

:01:29. > :01:38.crowd, to get the millions at stake? Make no mistake, there is

:01:38. > :01:46.nowhere on earth quite like this place. This meeting of dreams, this

:01:46. > :01:56.Royal Ascot. This is not just a sporting event, it's a culture.

:01:56. > :01:58.

:01:58. > :02:08.Will this be another big win? spectacular Frankel. And we have a

:02:08. > :02:11.

:02:11. > :02:15.It could be argued that already we have had the best Royal Ascot in

:02:15. > :02:19.living memory. It's had absolutely everything. Just a few moments ago

:02:19. > :02:23.the Royal Procession made its made down through the golden gates and

:02:23. > :02:27.in the lead carriage has been all week in her Diamond Jubilee year,

:02:27. > :02:30.Her Majesty the Queen, alongside his Royal Highness the Duke of

:02:30. > :02:34.Edinburgh, deep in conversation with John Warren and with Toby

:02:34. > :02:37.Balding, a trainer of two Grand National winners, Gold Cup winner,

:02:37. > :02:41.champion hurdle winner as well, his first time in the Royal Procession.

:02:41. > :02:50.A huge honour and surprise for him to be in the lead carriage. The

:02:50. > :02:55.Windsor greys leading the way. And the grandstand absolutely

:02:55. > :02:58.packed. The crowd boosted this year by approximately 5,000 Australian

:02:58. > :03:04.race-goers, some of whom have travelled over from Australia,

:03:04. > :03:09.others based here in the UK. They have come to see their superstar,

:03:09. > :03:13.Black Caviar. She could round off this week in send sensation tal --

:03:13. > :03:18.send takesal tile -- sensational style. The Royal Procession, a

:03:19. > :03:24.sight that you will not see at any other sporting event. It kicks off

:03:24. > :03:27.a high-class day of racing. As the Royal Procession happened,

:03:27. > :03:30.the weather was absolutely fine. Almost as soon as the Queen

:03:30. > :03:35.disappeared into the grandstand to make her way to the Royal Box, we

:03:35. > :03:38.had a cloud burst, heavy rain. The wind has picked up, that wind seems

:03:38. > :03:41.to have blown that shower of rain through. A lot of people have been

:03:41. > :03:44.suffering badly from overnight flooding around the country and

:03:44. > :03:48.luckily, here at Ascot, they've avoided the worst of the rain

:03:48. > :03:53.because in many ways that is the one thing that could have damaged

:03:53. > :03:58.the chances of Black Caviar today. If we have had torrential rain. All

:03:58. > :04:01.eyes on her and all supporters from Australia, and most supporters from

:04:01. > :04:05.Europe hoping that she can cement her position as the outstanding

:04:05. > :04:09.sprinter in the world and arguably the fastest racehorse anyone has

:04:09. > :04:14.ever seen. Her colours there of salmon and black spots carried on

:04:14. > :04:18.banners around the course and indeed being echoed and reflected

:04:18. > :04:22.on ties of Black Caviar supporters. Here the man on whom the pressure

:04:22. > :04:27.lays, Luke Nolan who will ride Black Caviar. He has won on her 18

:04:27. > :04:31.times of her 21 wins, introducing himself to Johnny Murtagh who will

:04:31. > :04:41.always be supportive. He walked the course a few times. And had a chat

:04:41. > :04:42.

:04:42. > :04:51.with the clerk of the course. this is 8.3, centre is 8.7. Tending

:04:51. > :04:55.to suggest the centre is slightly quicker. You know,... It walks...

:04:55. > :05:02.think it walks even. You are in the middle, same as before. You have

:05:02. > :05:04.been drawn 15. Somewhere here. That's the man we will all be

:05:04. > :05:09.watching. Myself and Willie Carson bidding you good afternoon and

:05:09. > :05:14.welcome to coverage on BBC1 of the final day of Royal Ascot, 2012. The

:05:14. > :05:20.big question, can anything beat Black Caviar? No. Not really. I

:05:20. > :05:26.don't think so. She can beat herself in a way, because she is an

:05:26. > :05:30.animal, very big, strong, very fast. She's put up fantastic times in

:05:30. > :05:36.Australia, nothing's ever got close to her. She wins every race by

:05:36. > :05:41.clear distance every time. She's run on possibly, not quite as soft

:05:41. > :05:46.a ground as she could have, if this rain keeps coming here, and Ascot

:05:46. > :05:49.is a stiff racecourse but still you would have to think that she is

:05:49. > :05:56.unbeatable. And I know thousands of people in Australia are staying up

:05:56. > :06:02.late to watch this, many gathering in Melbourne to watch the big

:06:02. > :06:05.screen. She runs at 3.4 4.00pm our time, quart tore one in the morning

:06:05. > :06:12.morning Melbourne time. They will all be hoping that she can do what

:06:12. > :06:14.she as done in all her races in Australia, but like - she has to

:06:14. > :06:17.travel overseas to prove to the rest of the world and take this

:06:17. > :06:26.sport to another level, which I think she has done just by being

:06:26. > :06:31.here, but it's a sensational day we What a week this has been. Starting

:06:31. > :06:35.with the fabulous, phenomenonal Frankel and his 11-length win in

:06:35. > :06:39.the Queen Anne. Frankie was back on flying form, winning the Gold Cup.

:06:39. > :06:43.The Queen had a Royal winner, her 21st as Estimate took the Queen's

:06:43. > :06:51.Vase. During today we will be looking back at 61 years of BBC

:06:51. > :06:57.television coverage of the Royal meeting as the BBC bows out.

:06:57. > :06:59.In terms of fashion, it has been fabulous. Suzi Perry is in charge

:06:59. > :07:05.for a final look at what everyone has been wearing and will be

:07:05. > :07:09.talking to a celebrity chef. But the special on the menu today

:07:10. > :07:15.is Black Caviar, the wonder from down under, Black Caviar unbeaten

:07:15. > :07:21.in 21 starts is hot favourite for the Diamond Jubilee.

:07:21. > :07:31.Four races for you live on BBC1 and then two on BBC interactive, not on

:07:31. > :08:04.

:08:04. > :08:08.Freeview, I am afraid. The Chesham Let's move on swiftly because the

:08:08. > :08:18.runners have left the paddock for our firs race, the Chesham. Let's

:08:18. > :08:18.

:08:18. > :09:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:09:02. > :09:07.Stakes, a listed contest over seven furlongs and the runners are

:09:07. > :09:17.arriving at the post. Here with the betting is John Parrott. Thank you,

:09:17. > :09:23.

:09:23. > :09:27.it's moved to -- Move To Strike the Back to 9-4. Back out to 5-2. But

:09:28. > :09:31.it's Move To Strike clinging to favouritism at 2-1. This is the

:09:31. > :09:35.race, the Chesham, that provided the Queen's last Royal Ascot winner

:09:35. > :09:39.in 2008. Until Estimate took the Queen's Vase yesterday, which was a

:09:39. > :09:44.wonderful moment. We could see the first win this week for your old

:09:44. > :09:48.boss, Willie. They love this colt. Of course, this jockey, champion

:09:48. > :09:52.jockey, Paul Hanagan, hasn't had a winner here at Royal Ascot, either.

:09:52. > :09:57.It would be nice for this horse to win because we have had most other

:09:57. > :10:03.things happen at Royal Ascot this week. But this horse who won very

:10:03. > :10:09.convincingly at Leicester, he is a big horse. He is by Street Cry, he

:10:09. > :10:13.is a lovely big type. A horse that will go on and we hope that he will

:10:13. > :10:23.be a Guineas horse for next year. But Richard Hannon hasn't had a

:10:23. > :10:25.

:10:25. > :10:28.winner this week. This possibly one of his last chances of doing so.

:10:28. > :10:31.He's got to draw of six, which is on the stands side. I would think

:10:31. > :10:34.the stands side is going to be a little bit quicker than the far

:10:34. > :10:36.side. It's had less use than the far side and I think he is drawn in

:10:36. > :10:40.the right place here. Richard Hannon trains that one, who has won

:10:40. > :10:50.this twice in the last four years. Jim Bolger has already had an

:10:50. > :10:51.

:10:51. > :10:55.exciting two-year-old colt win this week. He has Move To Strike.

:10:55. > :11:05.Irish really like this horse. He gave a very good impression when he

:11:05. > :11:10.

:11:10. > :11:14.won at Leopardstown. Mr Bolger, as we all know, brings his horses here

:11:14. > :11:17.and if you leave them out in your calculations, that's at your own

:11:17. > :11:27.peril, because he always brings horses over here that always run a

:11:27. > :11:32.big race. Dawn Approach was by Approach -- New Approach, also sire

:11:32. > :11:36.of Tha'ir. The Godolphin horses do seem to be coming back to some kind

:11:36. > :11:41.of form. This horse started off modestly, started off at Ripon and

:11:41. > :11:46.did that well. But he is up against real good sorts here today.

:11:46. > :11:49.Obviously, the Godolphin have got a lot of well bred horses at home, so

:11:49. > :11:57.he must be one of the better ones that they have. Indeed. They've

:11:57. > :12:02.another runner as well, Lovely Pass who is also quietly fancied. The

:12:02. > :12:06.Sixties being pushed forward there. Mick Channons had had a few

:12:06. > :12:12.disappointments this week. Lovely to see him in the winners'

:12:12. > :12:19.enclosure as well. The Sixties is a stallion, stands at a stud Mick is

:12:19. > :12:24.very much involved with. That's a fantastic way of having a nibble of

:12:24. > :12:31.grass! Down there to accompany Frege, Kieron Fallon riding.

:12:31. > :12:36.Sixties has five runners in this race. All of them have won a race.

:12:36. > :12:40.He is doing well. Come on, you are going to fall over! That's a good

:12:40. > :12:48.trick. We are meant to be looking at the racehorses and Jalaa will be

:12:48. > :12:52.one of the last few to go forward. Zanetto there with a sheepskin

:12:52. > :12:55.noseband going forward. The last few going forward for the

:12:55. > :13:01.first race. There is Frankie Dettori, what a moment for him on

:13:01. > :13:06.Thursday winning the Gold Cup. He is riding high at the moment. He is

:13:06. > :13:16.in the Royal blue of Godolphin for our first race on the final day of

:13:16. > :13:17.

:13:17. > :13:23.Royal Ascot 2012. Going forward now Lovely Pass. They run over seven

:13:23. > :13:27.furlongs. Up the straight, a field of 14 two-year-olds for the Chesham.

:13:27. > :13:31.Stand by, that's it. Ready, they're racing!

:13:31. > :13:35.And away to a fair start on the near side Hillbilly Boy, one of the

:13:35. > :13:41.first away. Zanetto is Thrupp in the early stages. Fighting too is

:13:41. > :13:44.Move To Strike. Now gets a bit of cover in behind horses. The Sixties

:13:44. > :13:48.goes on. The Sixties the early leader, from up in second place on

:13:48. > :13:52.the near side Frege, just behind them Zanetto, fighting for his head

:13:52. > :13:59.on the near side, followed further back by Cruck Realta with yellow

:13:59. > :14:02.cap. They're followed by Jalaa. On the near side Pasaka Boy Pasaka Boy,

:14:02. > :14:06.followed further back by Lovely Pass, who is very wide with a white

:14:06. > :14:11.cap. Behind horses is Move To Strike, Hillbilly Boy on the near

:14:11. > :14:15.side. Being tracked all the while by Downright Dizzie. Move To Strike

:14:15. > :14:20.has dropped right back to about six or seven lengths off the pace. They

:14:20. > :14:24.race now towards the course proper. The leader is The Sixties, from in

:14:24. > :14:30.second Frege, followed in third by Cruck Realta. Behind them being

:14:30. > :14:34.pulled on for an effort now is at this stage Chilworth Icon. Coming

:14:34. > :14:38.into it too is Lovely Pass under pressure. Move To Strike is running

:14:38. > :14:41.on pourfully. They run up with a furlong and a half. On the far side

:14:41. > :14:46.Lovely Pass takes it up, from in the centre Cruck Realta. In the

:14:46. > :14:50.centre coming there Tha'ir. Tha'ir for Godolphin. The first set of the

:14:50. > :14:54.Godolphin Royal blue sprints into the lead now. It's Tha'ir, Frankie

:14:54. > :14:58.Dettori lengthening well and coming away. Tha'ir goes on to win the

:14:58. > :15:02.Chesham in grand style. Cruck Realta in second. Third is Lovely

:15:02. > :15:07.Pass. A gap then and behind them is Move To Strike, followed next in

:15:07. > :15:13.the field then by The Sixties, well back is Frege, Jalaa not sighted.

:15:13. > :15:17.They were followed then by Pasaka Boy, well back in the field. Effie

:15:18. > :15:23.B the last to finish. Tha'ir, another winner for Godolphin.

:15:23. > :15:33.A memorable week for them. They won the Gold Cup and a 9-2 winner of

:15:33. > :16:01.

:16:01. > :16:07.fourth, Move To Strike could not side, followed by Downright Dizzie.

:16:07. > :16:15.St Paul De Vence could not get into it. At the tail of the field was

:16:15. > :16:22.Effie B. The winner of the Chesham Stakes is Tha'ir, ridden by Frankie

:16:23. > :16:32.Dettori, the third winner at this royal meeting for the first season

:16:33. > :16:35.

:16:36. > :16:45.stallion New Approach. Let's check the distances. 2.25 lengths and a

:16:45. > :16:50.neck. But this win it, Tha'ir, won very well at Ripon recently, having

:16:50. > :16:59.been the lesser fancied of a couple of runners they had in the race,

:16:59. > :17:09.came home well clear on that occasion. And the horse that he

:17:09. > :17:10.

:17:10. > :17:17.beat that night went on to win this week. Side been so raw, a happy man.

:17:17. > :17:21.-- Saeed Bin Suroor. And Frankie Dettori, first win of the day.

:17:21. > :17:26.CLARE BALDING: Frankie is a man for the big occasion. The big crowd

:17:26. > :17:30.seems to bring out the best in him. He had gone through weeks without a

:17:30. > :17:35.winner anywhere until he came back to win the Gold Cup on Colour

:17:35. > :17:44.Vision. But that was a very decisive win on Tha'ir. The team

:17:44. > :17:49.will be very decisive -- excited about this horse for next year. It

:17:49. > :17:55.gives them hope through the winter, looking ahead to the big races next

:17:55. > :18:02.year. And the breeding world is buzzing about the stallion New

:18:02. > :18:07.Approach. WILLIE CARSON: And of course, New

:18:07. > :18:14.Approach is by Galileo, the best stallion we had in many, many years.

:18:14. > :18:20.Obviously, the stable did not see too much of him at home. Frankie

:18:20. > :18:26.went very fast up front. He did not go that fast, because there was a

:18:26. > :18:36.lot of horses pulling early. This horse, he obviously settles very

:18:36. > :18:42.easily. Of course, New Approach, he won the Derby. And this horse

:18:42. > :18:45.possibly will only get to a mile. At this stage in his career, you

:18:45. > :18:49.would have to say, he would only be a miler, unless he proves

:18:49. > :18:55.differently. But a very happy jockey, he always gives plenty of

:18:55. > :19:05.people a lot of pleasure in how he behaves after he wins. He is very

:19:05. > :19:09.

:19:09. > :19:15.good at that. A big smile on his face. Yes! I told you so! Frankie

:19:15. > :19:19.Dettori, of all of the jockeys with a licence at the present time, is

:19:19. > :19:26.top of the list. Lester Piggott way out in front in terms of overall

:19:26. > :19:36.statistics. But Frankie, the man of the afternoon so far. You will get

:19:36. > :19:49.

:19:49. > :19:53.a flying dismount as well, because one of the day.

:19:53. > :19:57.JIM MCGRATH: It is often underestimated just what a talented

:19:57. > :20:02.jockey he is, because he is such a flamboyant personality, such a

:20:02. > :20:12.visible face of racing. He does such a great PR job for the entire

:20:12. > :20:19.sport. Sheikh Mohammed not here in the winning party. He will be tuned

:20:19. > :20:25.in to that result, no doubt. Frankie, looking for the scales so

:20:25. > :20:32.that he can step on, and he will be looking to make 9 stone 3lb, which

:20:32. > :20:37.he should be able to do without any bother whatsoever. I was just

:20:37. > :20:44.saying, it is often underestimated just how brilliant a rider, a

:20:44. > :20:52.sportsman, he is. Such balance, such style on a horse. He is an

:20:52. > :20:57.extremely talented jockey. I think many people just starting to

:20:57. > :21:02.appreciate that we do need him in the game, and it is great to see

:21:02. > :21:09.him back in the winner's area. Here's Brit Prasad in the winner's

:21:09. > :21:17.area. I am joined by the Godolphin racing manager. It has been an

:21:18. > :21:22.excellent week. Fantastic. Brilliant first season stallion New

:21:22. > :21:29.Approach as well. All three have turned up, and all three have

:21:29. > :21:34.delivered. Really excited for the team. We came here hoping we would

:21:34. > :21:43.do well, but we were really pleased about this one. Frankie, a great

:21:43. > :21:47.way to start the day. Yes. The further he went, the better he was.

:21:47. > :21:50.New Approach, he has had a fantastic week. Nice little two-

:21:50. > :21:57.year-old for the future. The way he stuck his head down, that was a

:21:57. > :22:02.good sign. Yes, he is on the small side, but he has got a good engine,

:22:02. > :22:10.a brilliant attitude. I was very impressed. What about Italy against

:22:10. > :22:16.England? It's the colour! Come on, Azzurri! I'm not sure about that.

:22:16. > :22:24.Simon, what will be the plan for Tha'ir? Maybe he will go to

:22:24. > :22:29.Goodwood, we will see. Well done. Thank you very much. Let's have a

:22:29. > :22:37.look at the start and finish of this Chesham Stakes. If you want to

:22:37. > :22:47.watch the two major contenders, there is the winner, from stall 7.

:22:47. > :22:48.

:22:48. > :22:53.Not a great start for Sylvester D'Souza's horse. Sylvester

:22:53. > :22:58.D'Souza's horse was a bit slowly away. Yes, there was a bit of a

:22:58. > :23:03.knock-on effect. I had a quick word with Martin Harley. And we saw it

:23:04. > :23:10.only around, it was not an ideal start. Right in the centre, in the

:23:10. > :23:13.white jacket, the horse chucking its head around. He has really

:23:13. > :23:17.fought Kevin Manning in the early part of the race. He has, and he

:23:17. > :23:23.has not done himself any favours. But Kevin Manning said, no excuses,

:23:23. > :23:28.to be honest. That was the early part of the race. Now, let's have a

:23:28. > :23:38.look at the closing stages. The winner is just making its challenge

:23:38. > :23:39.

:23:39. > :23:44.year. Sylvester D'Souza has got this filly into a fair position.

:23:44. > :23:49.Surely, having used up so much energy trying to go fast at the

:23:49. > :23:53.beginning of the race, it must have had an effect. No doubt about it.

:23:53. > :23:58.The other jockeys have also said, they did not go that quick early on.

:23:58. > :24:03.This was the time you wanted your energy to be used, and Frankie's

:24:03. > :24:06.horse was impressive. He really was striding out well in the closing

:24:06. > :24:10.stages. This was not exactly the same distance as the Diamond

:24:10. > :24:14.Jubilee later one, but what do you think about the draw, particularly

:24:14. > :24:20.with Black Caviar in mind, because she will be in 15, on the right of

:24:20. > :24:24.that picture. It was interesting, the way they all seem -- seemed to

:24:24. > :24:28.congregate in the middle of the track. Well, we will see later on.

:24:28. > :24:31.But that's the first race over and done with, a good win for the

:24:31. > :24:41.Godolphin horse. Looks like one to follow.

:24:41. > :24:47.

:24:47. > :24:50.JOHN PARROTT: Yes, so, the winner of the Chesham Stakes, Tha'ir.

:24:50. > :24:55.And the presentation for the Chesham Stakes being made by the

:24:55. > :24:58.Chesham Stakes being made by the comedian Michael McIntyre. Sheikh

:24:58. > :25:08.Mohammed and Princess Haya not here today, they are watching at home on

:25:08. > :25:18.

:25:18. > :25:22.television. Great to see Michael Macintyre here. We can look again

:25:22. > :25:27.at the low finishing drive of Frankie Dettori, and also this

:25:27. > :25:32.horse, whose running style is basically to go no to the ground.

:25:32. > :25:36.Saeed Bin Suroor, a fantastic boost for him this week. They encourage

:25:36. > :25:40.competition between their trainers inside the team, and between the

:25:40. > :25:45.jockeys as well. And Frankie has had a fair bit of pressure on him

:25:45. > :25:50.this year, and it is just great to see him doing the flying dismounts

:25:50. > :25:56.and celebrating success. And he is just usually important to the

:25:56. > :25:59.British racing game. So, a great start to a great afternoon, which

:25:59. > :26:05.we hope will culminate with victory for Black Caviar. We will be

:26:05. > :26:09.talking about her plenty before the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. But let's

:26:09. > :26:15.say good afternoon for the first time today to Suzi Perry. Yes, we

:26:15. > :26:21.have seen some beautiful fashions here this week. Joining me, Jane,

:26:21. > :26:27.milliner to the stars. What is on trend regarding the hats? We have

:26:27. > :26:32.got quite a lot of discs this year. With modern hairstyles, it is

:26:32. > :26:36.really easy, you can put your long hair over the top. Also quite a lot

:26:36. > :26:41.of classic styles, sweeping across the face, and lots of little

:26:41. > :26:46.cocktail hats. That's now that the dress code has changed. Like the

:26:46. > :26:54.hat that you're wearing today. Lots of flowers as well. Thank you very

:26:54. > :27:04.much. Have a good day. 170,000 bottles of champagne being served

:27:04. > :27:08.

:27:08. > :27:12.here at Royal Ascot, and this is the man who's doing the catering.

:27:12. > :27:22.We are at Royal Ascot, so we have pushed the boat out. And you have

:27:22. > :27:22.

:27:22. > :27:26.got a Michelin star now. Yes. Incredible. I know you have got a

:27:26. > :27:31.couple of restaurants down in Folkestone. Tell us what you have

:27:31. > :27:35.made specifically for Royal Ascot. Can I take my hat off first? I feel

:27:35. > :27:41.more comfortable without this silly hat. I have done a few dishes

:27:41. > :27:46.across the board. They have gone across all of the restaurants. This

:27:46. > :27:50.is fresh Folkestone crab, which we have a hand picked, mixed with a

:27:50. > :27:58.bit of paste, to give it a Moroccan feel, a little bit spicy. Can I

:27:58. > :28:03.have a taste? Go for it. And we have got some salt and pepper squid,

:28:03. > :28:09.which is a really big seller at the restaurant. It has got Lyon, chilli,

:28:09. > :28:12.coriander, soy sauce. This is one of your signature dishes, isn't it?

:28:12. > :28:16.It is, but I hate the word signature dish, because the

:28:16. > :28:21.customers have to give you that accolade in the first place. So

:28:21. > :28:27.that means it is a dish that we can never take it off the menu now. But

:28:27. > :28:33.yes, it is a signature dish. And this one here, I would love to lie

:28:33. > :28:37.to you, and say that I designed this specifically for Royal Ascot.

:28:37. > :28:46.this specifically for Royal Ascot. This is a cold chocolate and sea

:28:46. > :28:54.buckthorn dish. Sea buckthorn is a berry which is foraged for in

:28:54. > :28:59.certain areas. It is a very sharp tasting Berry. When I put this on

:28:59. > :29:02.the menu at my restaurant, it was because it was a locally foraged

:29:02. > :29:09.desert, and I wanted to introduce something different. So, I thought

:29:09. > :29:14.I would put it on the menu here at Ascot. Somebody did some Google

:29:14. > :29:17.research and found out that actually, ancient Greeks used to

:29:17. > :29:20.graze their racehorses on sea buckthorn pastures, and right

:29:20. > :29:26.before the race, they would feed them with the berries, which are

:29:26. > :29:34.very high in vitamin C. And actually, the ancient Greek word

:29:34. > :29:38.for Sea buckthorn is Glittering Horse. Absolutely wonderful.

:29:38. > :29:44.Wondering if Black Caviar, which is what a day is all about, has had

:29:44. > :29:54.any sea buckthorn berries this morning?! This is not real caviar,

:29:54. > :30:02.

:30:02. > :30:06.but what shall we do?! Shall we try wearing today and beautiful,

:30:06. > :30:10.beautiful classic clothes. That was classic. There is the Black Caviar

:30:10. > :30:14.colours, the salmon pink and black. Clearly a supporter. We can have it

:30:14. > :30:20.confirmed you will see lots of salmon and black today. Also, lots

:30:20. > :30:24.of pale beige and cream colours. Hats need good hat pins as well in

:30:24. > :30:28.this wind. You need to be fairly adaptable because the big rain

:30:28. > :30:33.storm we had, you need to be able to run, so shoes you can run in

:30:33. > :30:40.help. The sculpture there in the background. We have a really, big

:30:40. > :30:45.international crowd here on the final day of Royal Ascot.

:30:45. > :30:50.Hello! Yes, we see you. How much rain do these hats take before they

:30:50. > :30:53.start crumbling? Do the hats take? I try not to find out F you have

:30:53. > :30:57.feathers you have a problem because they can really damage them quickly.

:30:57. > :31:01.But, you know, just go under cover. You will be all right in the rain.

:31:01. > :31:04.I get all the channels on this, it's useful. Let's take you through

:31:04. > :31:07.the story of the week, as we have been saying, and we were talking

:31:07. > :31:17.about this, probably the best Royal Ascot we can remember. It is,

:31:17. > :31:27.

:31:27. > :31:31.without doubt, the pest Royal Ascot performance! The superb,

:31:31. > :31:40.spectacular Frankel. This is the best racehorse that you have ever

:31:40. > :31:45.seen, I have ever seen, that anybody will ever see. It's Little

:31:45. > :31:53.Bridge! Famous Hong Kong win. most magnificent sporting venue in

:31:53. > :32:00.Europe. Up towards the line, it's Most Improved who gets the money in

:32:01. > :32:05.the St James Palace Stakes. Now So You Think goes on to win the Prince

:32:05. > :32:12.of Wales Stakes. This is a great day's racing, a great day of sport,

:32:12. > :32:18.a great day of fashion. Racing in the Gold Cup. It's Opinion Poll now

:32:18. > :32:24.pouncing. The two Godolphin runners fighting it out. It was great, you

:32:24. > :32:30.know, this was my best chance of the week. I am glad this came up.

:32:30. > :32:37.They're set. Off and running. Fallen For You is racing away here.

:32:37. > :32:42.Goes on to win it for William Buick. Today is one of those days.

:32:42. > :32:45.could have a Royal winner. There will be plenty of money for the

:32:45. > :32:49.Queen's horse. We have a Royal winner, hats off to the Queen as

:32:49. > :32:54.Estimate goes up to the line to win by five lengths. The whole country

:32:54. > :33:03.will have appreciated this victory for Her Majesty. We have got the

:33:03. > :33:07.most marvellous horses in the world and I mean the world.

:33:07. > :33:11.The question mark doesn't have to be too big, she is a hot favourite,

:33:11. > :33:15.Black Caviar. Let's concentrate on stamina and class, other than speed

:33:15. > :33:18.and class. The Hardwicke Stakes stakes, and here is the line-up

:33:18. > :33:22.with Jim McGrath. Talking about Australia and about

:33:22. > :33:32.Melbourne, in particular, we have a Melbourne Cup winner in this race

:33:32. > :33:32.

:33:32. > :34:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:34:14. > :34:24.and a Melbourne Cup runner-up. Hardwicke Stakes stakes, hugely

:34:24. > :34:31.

:34:31. > :34:36.can't wait for Black Caviar, first bet struck behind me �100,000 at 1-

:34:36. > :34:39.5 to win �20,000. I am in front of the stands now.

:34:39. > :34:42.This is the spot where a lot of people are hoping Black Caviar's

:34:42. > :34:45.going to come thundering up the track. She's coming from stall 15.

:34:45. > :34:55.If she goes as straight line from the six furlong start this is where

:34:55. > :34:59.she will end up finishing. I spoke to the Leona. They've changed the

:34:59. > :35:05.going officially to good. Richard Hughes who came out from the stall

:35:05. > :35:11.next in stall 16, he said it's good ground. No excuses for Black Caviar

:35:11. > :35:17.Black Caviar! Nothing is ever a certainty in

:35:17. > :35:21.racing, that's why we run the races because you can't write it down on

:35:21. > :35:29.paper beforehand. We have an Australian connection in this race,

:35:29. > :35:33.because this horse Dunaden won the Melbourne Cup. Willie, I don't know

:35:33. > :35:36.whether you stayed up to watch this live in the early hours, it was one

:35:36. > :35:42.of the best finishes you have ever seen. It was close. Exactly.

:35:42. > :35:47.Doesn't in the yellow, -- Dunaden in the yellow. This is a two-mile

:35:47. > :35:51.race. They do sprint home here in the Melbourne Cup. 300 metre mark

:35:51. > :35:58.there and Dunaden looks as though he is going to get caught there by

:35:58. > :36:02.Red Cadeaux. Red Cadeaux, I thought got his head in front, but Dunaden

:36:02. > :36:08.really found a bit for the stick there and got his head in front. It

:36:08. > :36:12.was close. It was an absolute bob of the head and the cameraman

:36:12. > :36:17.thought Red Cadeaux had won, when the photo finish came up. It's a

:36:17. > :36:22.half a nostril. That's so close. Nearly a dead heat. Dunaden went on

:36:22. > :36:32.to win the Hong Kong Vase in his final start of the year. He is a

:36:32. > :36:36.

:36:36. > :36:46.classy, well travelled horse. They are the biggest investors in

:36:46. > :36:47.

:36:47. > :36:52.sport and racing in this country right now, thanks to Kipco who

:36:52. > :36:56.sponsor series. Very serious orders going on, isn't there? In Hong Kong

:36:56. > :37:00.when he won his last race he showed a lot more turn of foot than he did

:37:00. > :37:05.there in the Melbourne Cup. He really rattled home in Hong Kong.

:37:05. > :37:10.Possibly he is a horse that likes fast ground, so maybe today the

:37:10. > :37:13.ground will be just a little bit on easy side for him. Dunaden and Red

:37:13. > :37:16.Cadeaux both six-year-olds. If they're to be vulnerable it may be

:37:16. > :37:22.from one of the many four-year-olds in the race, there are a few of

:37:22. > :37:27.them. The most promising of whom is Aiken, who is unbeaten now in six

:37:27. > :37:30.starts, actually was beaten first time out but has won six in a row

:37:30. > :37:37.and John Gosden and William Buick are very much the team to be with

:37:37. > :37:43.this week. They had three - and this colt he won really

:37:43. > :37:47.impressively last time. French Derby day. He made the running and

:37:47. > :37:53.looked as though he was going to get swallowed up at the two but

:37:53. > :37:58.battled away and he was going away at the finish. Let's go back to

:37:58. > :38:03.Dunaden, because the Sheikh's racing manager is with Rishi now.

:38:03. > :38:08.Yes, he is. He is overseeing instructions just given to the

:38:08. > :38:13.rider. What's been said? Confidence in that? I think there's got to and

:38:13. > :38:19.bit of confidence. We can't use the ground as an excuse. The horse

:38:19. > :38:23.looks incredible I think walking around the paddock and stiff gallop

:38:24. > :38:27.will suit him well, which he didn't get in France last time. We got to

:38:27. > :38:32.give it a best shot. Fingers crossed we get a result this week.

:38:32. > :38:35.So far failed to produce a winner for them, so hopefully today.

:38:35. > :38:39.difficulty for people wanting to back Dunaden is seeing the two

:38:39. > :38:42.performances at the end of last year in Hong Kong and Australia and

:38:42. > :38:46.the two performances this season saying he hasn't done that yet. Is

:38:46. > :38:53.he back to what he did at the end of last season? I think he is

:38:53. > :38:58.better than he was last season, to be honest. We have a long plan,

:38:58. > :39:01.which is to go for the Arc if we possibly can. Today we will learn

:39:01. > :39:05.whether he is good enough or whether we need to be going back to

:39:05. > :39:09.Australia. Obviously we would love to go to Australia swl and the

:39:09. > :39:14.Sheikh had the time of his life there, as did I. You can completely

:39:14. > :39:17.ignore his first two runs, because the first time he needed a run

:39:17. > :39:22.badly and we all knew that. The second time the race couldn't have

:39:22. > :39:26.been run to suit him worse. Absolutely no gallop. Then he came

:39:26. > :39:30.with a storming run but he was too far back to be able to use it.

:39:30. > :39:36.Conditions today should be right up his street. We look forward to

:39:36. > :39:42.seeing how he gets on, thank you. Good luck. Thank you.

:39:42. > :39:51.Still to be mounted is Sea Moon. Ryan Moore is riding him. He was

:39:51. > :39:58.very impressive when running away with - had trouble in running,

:39:58. > :40:01.didn't get the greatest ride, and was second to St Nicholas Abbey.

:40:01. > :40:04.That was a fabulous performance. That was a very good performance.

:40:04. > :40:08.Travelling all the way over to America and finishing second. It

:40:08. > :40:14.was a very good run for him that day. He is a well travelled horse

:40:14. > :40:20.this. He had a little bit of a problem with stalls at one stage

:40:20. > :40:24.but seems to have got over that now and he is a very talented colt.

:40:24. > :40:29.They are - this is a handsome line- up. That's a really good looking

:40:29. > :40:32.horse. You saw Dunaden, he looks well. Memphis Tennessee looked

:40:32. > :40:35.absolutely marvellous. We will look at him in a moment. Let's talk

:40:35. > :40:41.about Red Cadeaux, the horse who nearly won the Melbourne Cup and he

:40:41. > :40:45.has been just a grand, grand flag- bearer for the yard of Ed Dunlop.

:40:45. > :40:52.Absolutely right, Clare. He has been superb, Red Cadeaux. He's got

:40:52. > :40:55.better and better. Really since he started in Melbourne really. He's

:40:55. > :41:00.done nothing wrong. He deserves to be here, but it's very tough.

:41:00. > :41:03.rare that the Hardwicke attracts the first and second in the

:41:03. > :41:07.Melbourne Cup. What chance have you got with Dunaden this afternoon?

:41:07. > :41:10.am sure we are probably happy with how our season has gone so far.

:41:10. > :41:16.There were circumstances in the last race for Dunaden, they went

:41:16. > :41:20.slowly. He's beaten us twice, maybe it's our ground maybe more than

:41:20. > :41:24.hopbg -- Hong Kong was. It's going to be hard. I can't remember a

:41:24. > :41:30.Hardwicke quite as competitive as this in the last few seasons.

:41:30. > :41:34.removed the penalty for a Group 1 win sore that -- winner so that

:41:34. > :41:40.makes a big difference. This is a a Group 1 race with horses, but in

:41:40. > :41:45.Group 2. It's exciting. We run a filly for the first time, see how

:41:45. > :41:49.that goes as well. Good luck. Willie, you wanted to have a word

:41:49. > :41:56.about the jockey there. McLoughlin very much involved with

:41:56. > :42:00.this horse, he gets on him some days, but today - this lad, he's

:42:00. > :42:06.made this horse and he does get the ride every now and again and when

:42:06. > :42:10.he goes to Australia he goes down there with him and rides him, he is

:42:10. > :42:13.instrumental in the success of this horse, Tom. I am glad to see that

:42:13. > :42:19.Tom has got the ride on him today and I hope everything goes well for

:42:19. > :42:22.him. We wish them well with Red Cadeaux.

:42:22. > :42:25.The runners are at the start. A chance to look at the leading

:42:25. > :42:29.jockeys and trainers so far this week. We mentioned it already, but

:42:29. > :42:33.the hat trick for William Buick and John Gosden yesterday took both on

:42:33. > :42:38.to four winners and puts William in a strong position to win the

:42:38. > :42:41.leading jockey award for the first time in his life. He is one clear

:42:41. > :42:51.at the moment of Ryan Moore. Frankie Dettori with two now. A

:42:51. > :42:53.

:42:54. > :42:59.host of jockeys on one. John Gosden looks uncatchable at the top of the

:42:59. > :43:02.trainers leading award. It's still possible, Clare. Possible, but as

:43:02. > :43:07.you say you fancied Memphis Tennessee in this for Aidan O'Brien

:43:07. > :43:16.and he has good runners later in the day. Sir Henry Cecil has had a

:43:16. > :43:20.terrific week. There is William, just making final

:43:20. > :43:26.- putting on the rug on to this big horse. He looks as though he needs

:43:26. > :43:33.it, he is half-asleep! He ran against Dunaden last time and had

:43:33. > :43:39.him back in third, but he is 7lbs worse because of the way the

:43:39. > :43:42.weights work for this. They're all on levels. Except for the filly

:43:42. > :43:52.Testosterone. If we can we will look at Memphis Tennessee because

:43:52. > :43:53.

:43:53. > :43:58.Willie, you you mentioned him a couple of times.

:43:58. > :44:04.He looks beautiful. He looks really well muscled up. He looks as though

:44:05. > :44:09.he is ready to run the race of his life. Look at the length of that

:44:09. > :44:13.lad's legs. 6ft, the jockey. Marvellous how he folds himself

:44:13. > :44:17.away when they're in the gallop position. It's marvellous. Joseph

:44:17. > :44:21.O'Brien, we have seen him this season mature into his role as

:44:21. > :44:31.balance hroeu Doyle's -- Ballydoyle's number one choice and

:44:31. > :44:35.his father has won this race in the last four years. Doesn't in yellow.

:44:35. > :44:39.-- Dunaden in yellow. We will look at the betting market. John, who

:44:39. > :44:43.are punters going for? It's so competitive, they don't know

:44:43. > :44:53.themselves. There's been money for Aiken now. Dunaden was the one that

:44:53. > :44:53.

:44:53. > :45:00.they were backing eachway. Sea Moon hanging on to favouritism.

:45:00. > :45:05.You won't miss these colours. This is Jakkalberry, trained by Marco

:45:05. > :45:10.Botti. He was a Group 1 winner in Italy.

:45:10. > :45:13.Six years old now. Wears a tongue tie. He goes into the stalls

:45:13. > :45:17.sweetly. Aiken has gone forward as well. Memphis Tennessee moving

:45:17. > :45:21.forward. Willie, what do you think will happen in this race? Well,

:45:21. > :45:29.it's a very good race. There's a lot of talented colts in this. Sea

:45:29. > :45:33.Moon is obviously on song. Michael stout having a winner yesterday. So

:45:33. > :45:43.it's going to be a very sort of intriguing race because there is at

:45:43. > :45:53.

:45:53. > :46:00.least five colts in here you could he gets his chance on Black Caviar.

:46:00. > :46:07.Over to you, Jim McGrath. JIM MCGRATH: Christophe Lemaire, on

:46:07. > :46:12.his Melbourne Cup winner. And they are off. Dunaden in the centre was

:46:12. > :46:19.one of the first away. On the inside, Sea Moon, and also going

:46:19. > :46:26.fast, Aiken. Widest of all is Testosterone. Looking over Johnny

:46:26. > :46:36.Murtagh to see if he can get closer to the rail. Up there as well is

:46:36. > :46:56.

:46:56. > :47:06.Memphis Tennessee. Dowsing is in towards the inside rail. Holding

:47:06. > :47:08.

:47:08. > :47:18.the rail, Fiorente. On the inside, Jakkalberry. On the outside, Sea

:47:18. > :47:19.

:47:19. > :47:25.Moon. Hunter's Light has gone wide. In behind horses, about third-last,

:47:25. > :47:31.is Red Cadeaux. Last is Calico Cat. Racing uphill now. On the inside

:47:31. > :47:35.his Testosterone, by half-a-length, to Memphis Tennessee. Out very wide

:47:35. > :47:42.is Quest For Peace, and in behind them, in the centre, battling away,

:47:42. > :47:49.is Dunaden. Aiken has made a fast move. Moving up to join the leader

:47:49. > :47:57.now. It is Testosterone, half a length clear, from Aiken, who has

:47:57. > :48:00.come round the outside to challenge. Hunter's Light, poised. Dunaden has

:48:00. > :48:05.gone right out the back door. Into the home straight, two furlongs to

:48:05. > :48:15.go. Aiken is the first to strike for home, he has gone three in

:48:15. > :48:19.

:48:19. > :48:25.front. But here comes Sea Moon. Red Cadeaux battling on. But Sea Moon,

:48:25. > :48:35.four in front. 100 yards to go. It is all Sea Moon! Coming up towards

:48:35. > :48:37.

:48:37. > :48:47.the line, Sea Moon is going to win the Hardwicke. In second, Dunaden.

:48:47. > :49:00.

:49:00. > :49:06.number 12, Sea Moon, ridden by Ryan Moore. And didn't he win? Have a

:49:06. > :49:12.look at him! He had it won with that burst of speed inside the

:49:12. > :49:18.furlong and a half. Dunaden looked gone coming around the turn but has

:49:18. > :49:28.come again. The stamina kicked in, and he beat his old foe, Red

:49:28. > :49:31.

:49:31. > :49:40.Cadeaux. In fourth is Aiken, fifth, Jakkalberry. Fiorente was next. And

:49:40. > :49:47.then a gap to Hunter's Light. Then, Allied Powers. Then another gap to

:49:47. > :49:57.Calico Cat, who ran on from last, but was a long way from the winner.

:49:57. > :49:59.

:49:59. > :50:09.Quest For Peace, Kieren Fallon, right out the back. So, too, the

:50:09. > :50:21.

:50:21. > :50:25.Michael Stoute, ever eager for Carlton House to win on the first

:50:26. > :50:31.day, but then he came up with a winner for the Queen yesterday, and

:50:31. > :50:40.now a double today. There is the Wonder from Down Under, Black

:50:40. > :50:46.Caviar. 21 wins out of 21. Doesn't she look relaxed. She doesn't know

:50:46. > :50:53.that the nation awaits, I'm sure. She looks cool and calm. The

:50:53. > :51:02.traffic is now being stopped in the Ascot high street, on both sides.

:51:02. > :51:10.Luke Nolen just interested to see how the great mare looked, and she

:51:10. > :51:17.looked fantastic. So, Sea Moon, the winner of the Hardwicke Stakes.

:51:17. > :51:23.CLARE BALDING: This horse is going to win a lot of good races this

:51:23. > :51:28.year, because he has this engine, and he can just suddenly put a race

:51:28. > :51:33.to bed. Dunaden in particular made up an awful lot of ground to finish

:51:33. > :51:37.second. But Ryan Moore was in too full Drive here on this source.

:51:37. > :51:41.There was no picking him back. Michael Stoute's yard, which has

:51:41. > :51:44.been pretty sleepy this season, has come a wake in the last couple of

:51:44. > :51:52.days, yesterday winning for the Queen, and now getting another

:51:52. > :51:55.winner. WILLIE CARSON: This was a very,

:51:55. > :52:02.very competitive Hardwick. Ryan Moore, when he got into the

:52:02. > :52:06.straight, and everybody found out, he asked the horse for a full

:52:06. > :52:12.effort, and he gave it to him. He went a long way clear. Just getting

:52:12. > :52:17.a little bit tired towards the end, when Dunaden's stamina kicked in.

:52:17. > :52:23.That puts Ryan Moore in front of William Buick. He has had one more

:52:23. > :52:27.third place, so he goes into the leader's position in the Qipco

:52:27. > :52:37.Leading Jockey award. He took the award last year, in the very last

:52:37. > :52:41.

:52:41. > :52:46.race, and he is in front with four so unlucky in many respects in the

:52:46. > :52:56.St Leger last year, Sea Moon. He went to America and was runner-up

:52:56. > :52:56.

:52:56. > :53:00.in the Breeders' Cup Turf. But now he is just starting to realise some

:53:00. > :53:06.of that potential which he showed earlier in the campaign up at York.

:53:06. > :53:11.Sir Michael Stoute on the left. Ryan Moore just telling Sir Michael

:53:11. > :53:20.exactly what sort of a run he had during the race. And we have the

:53:20. > :53:30.full details now. Over to John. JOHN PARROTT: Well, the hugely

:53:30. > :53:31.

:53:31. > :53:35.impressive Sea Moon, has come on a bundle since Goodwood. In the pre-

:53:35. > :53:43.parade ring now with Black Caviar. The amount of people here just

:53:43. > :53:49.taking photographs, a memory to last forever. I saw her about 10

:53:49. > :53:55.days ago at Newmarket, and her coat looks much better today than it did

:53:55. > :54:03.36 hours after she landed on the plane. She looks in great nick, I

:54:03. > :54:07.cannot find a negative about her, she looks outstanding.

:54:07. > :54:11.CLARE BALDING: She is known as Nellie at home and by those who

:54:11. > :54:17.look after her. The name of Black Caviar are is what she races under.

:54:17. > :54:21.It is amazing how many great racehorses have great names as well.

:54:21. > :54:27.It is a fantastic sight. Willie, you were commenting on her power,

:54:27. > :54:32.the way she walks. WILLIE CARSON: Absolutely. You can

:54:32. > :54:38.see how she over-tracks. Her hind feet, if you imagine she makes a

:54:38. > :54:44.mark where her front feet go down, the hind legs go further than that,

:54:44. > :54:50.which is called over-trekking. She has got a lot of power, and you can

:54:50. > :54:55.see the way she swaggers. She has got a lovely swagger. Luke Nolen

:54:55. > :55:00.standing on the scales, to check his weight of 9 stone 1. Frankie

:55:00. > :55:08.Dettori having a chat with him. is trying to read him up, a bit of

:55:08. > :55:15.sledging going on. He is not a! The trainer of this mare, this is a

:55:15. > :55:18.huge moment for him. They want to blitz the rest away. We could not

:55:18. > :55:23.get an interview from him this morning, I think he was too nervous.

:55:23. > :55:27.He has got too much going on in that head of his. We have got an

:55:28. > :55:33.interview now with the winner of the Hardwicke, Sir Michael Stoute.

:55:33. > :55:37.Sir Michael, your smile tells the story. Yes, delighted with that

:55:37. > :55:41.performance. There was mitigation at Goodwood, and told me he got a

:55:41. > :55:45.bit lazy at home as well. But he has settled nicely and picked up so

:55:45. > :55:52.well. I was thrilled with him today. What about the people that

:55:52. > :56:02.questioned his resolution? Have they? Yes, they said, is he as good

:56:02. > :56:02.

:56:02. > :56:07.as we hoped he would be? Listen, I was disappointed at certain times

:56:07. > :56:14.in previous races, but Ryan Moore said, he will never go like that

:56:14. > :56:19.again. How good could he be? He wasn't bad today. Well, yes, that's

:56:19. > :56:22.not a bad sign. Ryan Moore, you have ridden some good ones, that

:56:22. > :56:26.looked a tough race to pick the winner before the start. Yes, I

:56:26. > :56:31.thought he might have his work cut out today, but he travelled really

:56:31. > :56:36.smoothly. He picked up really well. I could not be more pleased with

:56:36. > :56:41.the original. He has only had seven runs, so he could be even better.

:56:41. > :56:50.Yes, the trainer has been very patient! That is all you can ask

:56:50. > :56:57.for on a big stage like this. Yes, we're delighted. All of the horses

:56:57. > :57:06.have gone very well. Today was a very good performance. Very well

:57:06. > :57:08.done. And so here we go into full overdrive build up to the Diamond

:57:08. > :57:12.Jubilee Stakes, a race which has improved so much in quality over

:57:12. > :57:14.the years, an awful lot of that quality coming from Australia. It

:57:14. > :57:17.quality coming from Australia. It does seem that generally speaking,

:57:17. > :57:22.Australian sprinters are quicker out of the gates, and they keep

:57:22. > :57:25.going faster than ours. Well, you have got about six months

:57:25. > :57:28.difference in the age of course. But you have got the sun over there,

:57:28. > :57:37.they always seem to be bigger and stronger than our sprinters. Look

:57:37. > :57:43.at the size of her. We know what weight she is, what is it, 545

:57:43. > :57:47.kilos. She is more than that. Interestingly, if you keep the

:57:47. > :57:51.camera out wide, you can see she has got protective covers on her

:57:51. > :57:58.front feet because of that over- stride that Willie was talking

:57:58. > :58:08.about. They are pieces of rubber, you put them over the boots in case

:58:08. > :58:11.

:58:11. > :58:17.she catches a shoe. You can see her hind legs going past when she puts

:58:17. > :58:23.her front legs. Everybody getting pictures of her as she goes by. It

:58:23. > :58:28.must be amazing down there. RISHI PERSAD: I have never in my

:58:28. > :58:32.entire time in racing seen so many people trying to get a photograph

:58:32. > :58:36.of originals. Everybody has got their telephones out, taking photos

:58:36. > :58:42.of Black Caviar. The lad leading her around, he has just been

:58:42. > :58:45.chatting all the way, whispering in her area. Obviously saying things

:58:45. > :58:49.that she is accustomed to hearing, but it is helping to keep her

:58:49. > :58:52.extremely calm. She looks in great shape, but I cannot get over the

:58:52. > :59:02.number of people who are here just to capture a photograph of Black

:59:02. > :59:07.

:59:07. > :59:11.JIM MCGRATH: So, there she is. She is relaxed, far more relaxed I

:59:11. > :59:16.would say them Connections and those associated with her. This is

:59:16. > :59:24.the big moment. It has been building for months, for weeks. And

:59:24. > :59:30.the big test is only minutes away. And that's in the Diamond Jubilee

:59:30. > :59:40.Stakes, over six furlongs. Let's check the runners and riders. We

:59:40. > :59:40.

:59:40. > :00:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:00:31. > :00:34.have a total of 14. And here they trying their pest. Trying to beat

:00:34. > :00:39.Black Caviar, but all of these people down here at the pre-parade

:00:39. > :00:44.ring trying to get a glimpse of this super mare and journalists who

:00:45. > :00:48.will be writing it tpoup ever The Racing Post tomorrow. We have

:00:48. > :00:53.Australian news crews here, and actually - they sold the rights to

:00:53. > :00:57.be able to cover her inside her yard in Newmarket, such was the

:00:58. > :01:03.protective wall around her, but Jim McGrath broke through and this is

:01:03. > :01:09.his take on Black Caviar. There's never been a sporting icon

:01:09. > :01:16.like her in Australia, certainly not in the last 80 years since the

:01:16. > :01:22.1930 Melbourne Cup. Black Caviar is going for her 22nd consecutive win.

:01:22. > :01:27.Black Caviar, the equine superstar of the world!

:01:27. > :01:34.Does it surprise you this mare is a sporting icon in Australia? It's

:01:34. > :01:38.amazing the amount of interest she's created. It's unprecedented.

:01:38. > :01:48.Even at sporting circles, she is captured the imagination of the

:01:48. > :01:55.public. They'll draw her, we have never had that before, to be part

:01:55. > :02:03.of it is - it's amazing, yeah. Institutions like the Financial

:02:03. > :02:07.Review are doing stories on her, it's unher althoughed and it's a --

:02:07. > :02:12.unher alded. Do you feel more pressure every time she goes out?

:02:12. > :02:16.would be lying if I don't feel pressure to keep this record in

:02:16. > :02:20.tact. You know, if she did come about tasting defeat, people would

:02:20. > :02:28.say greedy BLEEP he's gone too far, this or that. I am very mindful of

:02:28. > :02:34.that. They will be the toets of Royal -- toast of Royal Ascot.

:02:34. > :02:40.She's go to go over there and prove it. What about her that makes her

:02:40. > :02:44.so special? I wish I knew. I wish I could nail it down. I wouldn't be

:02:44. > :02:49.working for a living. She can switch off. She will see the back

:02:49. > :02:54.of the field, run unbelievable sections. She has an unbelievable

:02:54. > :02:58.turn of foot after travelling so fast. She She doesn't go as hard or

:02:58. > :03:04.fast as other horses but her movement allows her to cover more

:03:04. > :03:08.ground.Lets quite staggering how she gets the job done. She's

:03:08. > :03:16.hulking, I don't know if that's the word, but that comes to mind. She's

:03:16. > :03:20.bigger than most colts. She doesn't look as big as what she actually is.

:03:20. > :03:24.What is she like mentally? She's learned to handle everything that's

:03:24. > :03:32.been thrown at her. She likes her down time. On the whole, for a

:03:32. > :03:36.horse that gets poked and and proded as much as her, she has an

:03:36. > :03:39.underbelievable temperament. They will look at her and think she's

:03:40. > :03:42.half-asleep, to us a that's a good sign. Reading between the lines it

:03:42. > :03:47.seems you are getting hacked off with people comparing her to

:03:47. > :03:51.Frankel. I think probably belittling, not only her, probably

:03:51. > :03:56.both horses. Why do we need this comparison? He is a great horse.

:03:56. > :04:00.He's done everything asked of him, as she has. I find it surprising at

:04:00. > :04:04.times his rating can continue to rise beating same horses under same

:04:04. > :04:09.conditions, where hers can't. That's staggering. These men are

:04:09. > :04:13.smarter than I, so, you know, that's why they get the big dollars.

:04:13. > :04:17.How fast do you think this mare can go? Is she something that's going

:04:17. > :04:20.to break records? Well, we have never gone out to do that within a

:04:20. > :04:25.career, mindful she has sustained injuries throughout her career but

:04:25. > :04:29.I can assure you you she's often gone faster at home on training

:04:29. > :04:37.tracks and gallops in private than at the races. We have seen at the

:04:37. > :04:40.races where she's been - middle stages of a Group 1 sprint, it's

:04:40. > :04:45.something we have never seen before. I don't know if she can go faster,

:04:45. > :04:49.I am hopeful she never has to. Peter Moody talking in depth about

:04:49. > :04:55.this mare and now putting finishing touches to her and making sure her

:04:55. > :04:58.hair is nicely in place. You will see her, the big physical presence

:04:58. > :05:01.of her, and we would expect thoer jump out of the start quicker than

:05:01. > :05:08.anything else and try and make all the running and come home in front

:05:08. > :05:14.for the Diamond Jubilee, a race that was renamed this year and Luke

:05:14. > :05:17.Nolen, 32, will get his chance to win his 19th race on this mare.

:05:17. > :05:21.They've struck up the most fantastic partnership. And the

:05:21. > :05:25.Queen will make the presentation for this race is looking down from

:05:25. > :05:28.her new box, which allows her to see down into the paddock and she's

:05:28. > :05:35.waiting for the runners to arrive in the paddock. Black Caviar will

:05:35. > :05:41.be on her way very shortly. Let's tell you a few things about her.

:05:41. > :05:47.The lastest 200 -- fastest 200 metres she's covered, she's broken

:05:47. > :05:53.ten seconds. She's reaching a speed of 44.83mph. Willie mentioned her

:05:54. > :05:58.weight, she's even heavier than she thought she was.

:05:58. > :06:08.She's heavier than Denman, who we always thought was the biggest

:06:08. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:19.Australia and the shortest she started 33-1 on, which means you

:06:19. > :06:26.have to put on �33 to win one back. On her days off likes swimming,

:06:26. > :06:29.going to the beach and her nickname is Nelly. I suspect the Australian

:06:29. > :06:35.fans of Black Caviar will think today's odds are a giveaway, but

:06:35. > :06:43.what are they? Here is John. They'll be thinking it's manna from

:06:43. > :06:46.Heaven, she's 1-6 here. One punter had �a 100,000. There's punters

:06:47. > :06:50.coming up having a bet and all they want is the ticket, not even going

:06:50. > :06:58.to collect. Even if Black Caviar wins, which we expect she does, the

:06:58. > :07:03.book-makers won't have to pay out. They want a momento of the day.

:07:03. > :07:07.It's madness here, Suzi, where are you? Practically next door to you,

:07:07. > :07:17.John. The anticipation for the next race is great in here. Let's look

:07:17. > :07:23.

:07:23. > :07:28.at some of the fashions we have That's a terrific hat.

:07:28. > :07:38.Everybody having lots of fun, really stylish today. Those girls

:07:38. > :07:43.

:07:43. > :07:47.So, it's all about Black Caviar today. If you come with me we have

:07:47. > :07:57.pole position in the grandstand. Over there is the finishing line.

:07:57. > :08:01.

:08:01. > :08:05.Over here is half of Melbourne. Hello Australia! Should I have said

:08:05. > :08:13.good' day. Is she going to do it? No worries. She's had to go through

:08:13. > :08:17.an awful lot to get over here. What do you think? You are speechless!

:08:17. > :08:21.got so much money riding on this, absolutely. It's such a treat. You

:08:21. > :08:29.have seen her race before over in Australia. Tell us about that

:08:29. > :08:32.experience. Amazing. Every other horse - she's cruising and never

:08:32. > :08:38.looks like getting beat. Hopefully she doesn't today. I saw you

:08:38. > :08:42.looking at the pictures there. How is the jockey looking? Looking

:08:42. > :08:49.confident. We are all confident, hopefully she can do the job today.

:08:49. > :08:52.Half of Melbourne is here and half is at Federation Square watching

:08:52. > :08:58.the screen. Have you seen her race before? I haven't, but I am not

:08:58. > :09:03.from Melbourne. You are aloud to have not seen her race. On the TV,

:09:03. > :09:08.but not live. She does look superspecial. Are you fans of Black

:09:08. > :09:12.Caviar? Absolutely, we are here to support our Aussies friends. We

:09:12. > :09:22.know it's not going to let us down today. I do hope so. Big cheer for

:09:22. > :09:29.

:09:29. > :09:33.so they can see this mare go around. Everybody standing here. They're

:09:33. > :09:36.trying to get a shot of Black Caviar. Sir Peter O'Sullivan, who

:09:36. > :09:40.has commentated on so many races over the years for the BBC is here

:09:40. > :09:45.in the paddock and Peter, did you come specifically to see Black

:09:45. > :09:50.Caviar? Well, I couldn't possibly not be here. Yes, it's a great

:09:50. > :09:54.thrill for me and seven or eight decades of Ascot, it's one of the

:09:54. > :09:59.most exciting days ever. I think this is one of the most spectacular

:09:59. > :10:03.meetings as well. Of course, she can quite seriously Crown it now.

:10:03. > :10:06.She could. Actually behind us here is the Black Caviar gang and all

:10:06. > :10:10.her owners and so exciting that you have come over here, because you

:10:10. > :10:14.are taking a big risk to travel a filly halfway around the world.

:10:15. > :10:19.Yeah, it's something that that has been planned for 12 months.

:10:19. > :10:24.Hopefully all the trainers had everything in order and mapped out

:10:24. > :10:28.a programme 12 months ago. We are relaxed at this stage. I will tell

:10:28. > :10:32.you in about half an hour how good the plan was. We just got to hope

:10:32. > :10:35.that she produces her form. lovely thing is that you are all

:10:35. > :10:39.friends. You are all a bunch of friends, it's not like you have an

:10:39. > :10:47.empire of racehorses. That's right. We have been friends for a long

:10:47. > :10:57.time. It's good that we can come here with our family, friends and

:10:57. > :10:57.

:10:57. > :11:02.enjoy England and also Ascot, it's a marvellous place to come to.

:11:02. > :11:09.gang of ten. Are some of you nervous? I don't think I have slept

:11:09. > :11:13.since 3.00am. It is, it's nerve- racking but delightfully nerve-

:11:13. > :11:15.racking, it's beautiful at the same time. You know who is up there

:11:15. > :11:20.looking down, who has her position in the special box to see your

:11:20. > :11:24.filly. Yes, I know. Isn't it marvellous. It's so exciting.

:11:24. > :11:28.brilliant. The Queen looking down. Luke Nolen behind, he is smiling

:11:28. > :11:33.away now. All his nerves will dissipate as soon as he gets on

:11:33. > :11:37.board this great mare because the worst bit is the waiting. Of Of

:11:37. > :11:42.those who are trying to take her on, the field does include last year's

:11:42. > :11:47.winner, Society Rock. If we make our way through here, James is

:11:47. > :11:51.talking to Johnny Murtagh and working out whether they can beat

:11:51. > :11:59.the supermare. You will be doing your best? Of course. What chance?

:11:59. > :12:02.He likes the track. He has a a good record at Ascot. Johnny is waiting

:12:02. > :12:12.there. I can see that Rishi is having a look at these horses in

:12:12. > :12:17.the paddock. George Strawbridge is here. He celebrated his first ever

:12:17. > :12:20.Royal Ascot winner yesterday and now, you are a great international

:12:20. > :12:24.sportsman, I should imagine you are trying very hard to knock the

:12:24. > :12:29.Aussie superstar over? Yes, I am bound to be very popular no matter

:12:29. > :12:35.what I do, obviously, Clare. This Moonlight Cloud has a lot of speed.

:12:35. > :12:40.She's very fast. She's very fast, whether anything is as fast as

:12:40. > :12:43.Black Caviar, I rather doubt it. We will see. You are the sort of

:12:43. > :12:48.second choice as it were, 5-1. Black Caviar odds on favourite.

:12:48. > :12:55.Those are generous odds - you are not really a punter though. I never

:12:55. > :12:59.bet. Too much money with your trainers. Absolutely, where have

:12:59. > :13:03.they been all these years, Clare, including your dad? He said what

:13:03. > :13:10.have we all been doing. Great for you. I hope Moonlight Cloud runs

:13:10. > :13:13.well for you. Thank you so much, Clare. You see Luke Nolen there.

:13:13. > :13:19.Cheers at every stage. There was a cheer when Black Caviar came into

:13:19. > :13:23.the paddock, a cheer as Luke Nolen gets the leg-up.

:13:23. > :13:27.Well, a lot of people are leaving, rushing away from the paddock to

:13:27. > :13:30.get their vantage point for the race. Willie, you got your first

:13:30. > :13:40.chance to see Black Caviar in the flesh, what did you make of her?

:13:40. > :13:45.She's a big filly. Quite a big strong girl. She looks a nice type,

:13:45. > :13:50.I know how fast she is. I know all that. I wouldn't put her in the

:13:50. > :13:56.pretty category. She's a big girl. She's very strong. Everything about

:13:56. > :13:59.her moves absolutely lovely, fluently. She's obviously a freak

:13:59. > :14:04.and a very, very fast horse. Let's talk about a couple of others.

:14:04. > :14:09.Interestingly, Moonlight Cloud, also a mare, no mare has won this

:14:09. > :14:15.race for 27 years. We expect that to end today. Of course we do,

:14:15. > :14:23.Black Caviar is a mare and she's come all the way, 12,000 miles from

:14:23. > :14:26.Australia to do that. In England we don't seem to be able to produce

:14:26. > :14:31.real world-class superstar sprinters. What about Moonlight

:14:31. > :14:35.Cloud? She's trained by your old pal. She was very good last year.

:14:35. > :14:41.She put up a stunning performance in France. He is expecting her to

:14:41. > :14:45.be finishing. He would - she's a seven-furlong horse. He is hoping

:14:45. > :14:49.that the six here will help her and she will be finishing. He is hoping

:14:49. > :14:55.she doesn't get too far behind too early because she will be wanting

:14:55. > :14:58.to finishing. Moonlight Cloud is the main danger in the market to

:14:58. > :15:08.the favourite, Black Caviar. other problem is she is drawn on

:15:08. > :15:17.

:15:17. > :15:23.going to let go of her until Luke Nolen says he is absolutely ready.

:15:23. > :15:29.They have even shipped over their own stalls handler. He has been

:15:29. > :15:38.with her for most of her runs. He has come over from Victoria, and

:15:38. > :15:42.will be down at the start to meet her. She just breaks into a trot.

:15:42. > :15:46.Everybody around the paddock is saying, she does not look as if she

:15:46. > :15:53.is heavier than Denman. But she must have incredibly heavy bone

:15:53. > :16:00.density. That's the excuse I always use! As she breaks into a canter,

:16:00. > :16:03.Luke Nolen takes his position, and she looks absolutely fine. There's

:16:03. > :16:08.a youngster dressed in those colours, the Salmon and black

:16:08. > :16:14.colours of Black Caviar. Just huge excitement all round the racecourse,

:16:15. > :16:22.because there has been so much media attention on this horse. Her

:16:22. > :16:26.cannot remember an occasion like this. The United States have been

:16:26. > :16:32.covering this, and there has also been coverage in the Middle East.

:16:32. > :16:41.Let's see what has been happening in the betting ring.

:16:41. > :16:46.JOHN PARROTT: Well, she is a 1-6 shot. I have not heard anything

:16:46. > :16:50.like it down here. There is an air of anticipation like I have never

:16:50. > :16:55.witnessed before. CLARE BALDING: She has travelled

:16:55. > :17:00.more than 10,000 miles, and now she has three quarters of a mile in

:17:00. > :17:10.front of her, to confirm her superstardom. This is Black

:17:10. > :17:18.

:17:18. > :17:25.She has got an unbelievable turn of foot. This is why she is rated the

:17:25. > :17:32.best in the world! She has got an unbelievable attitude, a great will

:17:32. > :17:40.to win, and she has got so much power. She cannot do any more here

:17:40. > :17:50.in Australia... She does not go as hard or as fast as other horses,

:17:50. > :17:51.

:17:51. > :17:59.but her movement allows her to cover the ground. Peter Moody has

:17:59. > :18:04.got something to prove over there. There has never been a definitive

:18:04. > :18:10.line from the Poms to say, you are the best. She has got to go over

:18:10. > :18:15.there to prove it... The Wonder from Down Under. Her

:18:15. > :18:25.trainer, Peter Moody, with his Royal Enclosure badge. I think he

:18:25. > :18:26.

:18:26. > :18:36.is feeling the nerves. Black Caviar, striding out down at the start.

:18:36. > :18:36.

:18:36. > :18:42.Frankie Dettori is on an interesting horse for Godolphin. He

:18:42. > :18:52.rides Soul in this one. This was a good one over this turf in a

:18:52. > :18:56.

:18:56. > :19:06.previous race. But then finished last behind Krypton Factor. Like

:19:06. > :19:06.

:19:06. > :19:10.you say, the blue of Godolphin coming into form.

:19:10. > :19:14.CLARE BALDING: And in terms of the betting, Moonlight Cloud is the

:19:14. > :19:21.second choice, and the leading European hope in this one. Trained

:19:21. > :19:24.by Freddy Head. Willie, I spoke to George, they are realistic about

:19:24. > :19:31.him, with everybody thinking that Black Caviar is going to win this

:19:31. > :19:36.one... WILLIE CARSON: Yes, she is a filly

:19:36. > :19:39.who would be better over a bit of a longer distance, actually. She is a

:19:40. > :19:46.seven-furlong filly. We are expecting that the ground and the

:19:46. > :19:52.speed of this race, she will be coming home at the finish. She will

:19:52. > :19:57.not be up there with them, she will be held up, and he is hoping that

:19:57. > :20:02.she will get a placement. A quick look at last year's winner, Society

:20:02. > :20:08.Rock. James Fanshawe being realistic on this one, saying that

:20:08. > :20:13.they are pleased that it is here. Yes, when you get a horse that

:20:13. > :20:17.likes it here at Ascot, it is a massive advantage. The fact that it

:20:17. > :20:27.is drawn near Black Caviar, in 13, will mean that Johnny Murtagh will

:20:27. > :20:28.

:20:28. > :20:37.be able to keep his eye on her. has brought this one back to six

:20:37. > :20:43.furlongs, she was running him a bit further. And he seems to be very

:20:43. > :20:48.consistent now. That was a shot of The Cheka. Tom Queally on board,

:20:48. > :20:51.who will forever be known as Frankel's jockey.

:20:51. > :20:56.WILLIE CARSON: This is exciting, isn't it?

:20:56. > :21:02.CLARE BALDING: It is, isn't it? I wonder how fast his heart will be

:21:02. > :21:07.beating. As soon as you leave the weighing room, you just want to get

:21:07. > :21:11.on with it. You can see the stalls handler that they have brought over

:21:11. > :21:15.specially, he has even got the colours on the cap. Everything has

:21:15. > :21:23.been thought of, she is like a movie star. Even the owner, when I

:21:23. > :21:33.said, can we have an interview? He said, who are you with? I said, BBC

:21:33. > :21:38.Television! It is very quiet where they are now. It is calming, as it

:21:38. > :21:45.were. The amazing thing about it, Willie, she is not in the slightest

:21:45. > :21:51.bit fazed by any of this. All good horses are like this, the real

:21:51. > :21:55.superstars. Life to them is so easy. When they gallop, they're going

:21:55. > :22:00.half-speed. Others are huffing and puffing. But she has never been put

:22:00. > :22:05.under pressure. Possibly, that's why she just thinks, here we go

:22:05. > :22:15.again, I am going to go for a canter. They even moved an Aussie

:22:15. > :22:22.Rules football match so that there was no clash with this race.

:22:22. > :22:29.Imagine them saying, over here, moving the England match! I wonder

:22:29. > :22:38.what they are doing in that square in Melbourne at the moment. This is

:22:38. > :22:44.Krypton Factor, a high-class sprinter. He won on Dubai World Cup

:22:44. > :22:50.night. Trained in Bahrain. You know, Willie, that they are really out to

:22:50. > :22:56.try to topple Black Caviar. Yes, he has been trying to do a bit of

:22:56. > :22:59.sledging about the Aussies. He is a trainer who, I believe, I am not

:22:59. > :23:04.certain, but I believe he is trying to buy a stable to trained at

:23:04. > :23:10.Newmarket. So he will be a new name to be training at Newmarket. And

:23:10. > :23:20.hasn't Newmarket been doing so well recently, in the last nine races,

:23:20. > :23:24.all of them have been won by Newmarket-trained horses.. We are

:23:24. > :23:32.not long from the start now. Everybody wants it to be off and

:23:32. > :23:38.running, because it will not take long once those stalls open. Having

:23:38. > :23:45.looked at some of her races, Willie, you were looking at the helicopter

:23:45. > :23:49.shot from above the stalls. Yes, and she is such a big, strong mare,

:23:49. > :23:55.there was a shot of her coming out of the stalls, she is a big thing,

:23:55. > :23:59.and she came out first. And of course, she comes out first, and

:23:59. > :24:02.the Jockey eases her back, to come back to the others, and they are

:24:02. > :24:10.huffing and puffing trying to get to her. Of course, she is

:24:10. > :24:17.phenomenal. Just to repeat, she has won 21 races in a row. Every race

:24:17. > :24:21.she has run him, she has won, 11 of those at Group 1 level, but this is

:24:21. > :24:24.her first race outside Australia. And it is the journey here, the

:24:24. > :24:27.different situation, the different course, everything associated with

:24:27. > :24:30.taking yourself halfway around the world which is her biggest

:24:31. > :24:35.challenge. Peter Moody has made it very clear, he does not think there

:24:35. > :24:38.is an awful lot to gain, but there is everything to lose. But what

:24:38. > :24:43.there is to gain is an international spotlight, a global

:24:43. > :24:49.standing. All the jockeys here today want to see how good she is.

:24:49. > :24:52.She is slotting into stall 15. She will be closest to the stands, so

:24:52. > :24:59.she could go all on her own, keep away from the other runners, if she

:24:59. > :25:06.wants to. She gets a friendly ruffle of the hair from her handler,

:25:06. > :25:13.over from Australia. We have a global sprinting superstar at the

:25:13. > :25:20.head of our market. She is going to go off an odds-on favourite, 6-1 on.

:25:20. > :25:25.Over to Jim McGrath. JIM MCGRATH: This is a mare that

:25:25. > :25:35.has two nations agog. There's the scene in Melbourne, everybody

:25:35. > :25:39.

:25:39. > :25:45.watching. Cheers from the crowd as Black Caviar is installed safely.

:25:45. > :25:55.This is her biggest challenge. Here at Royal Ascot, the Diamond Jubilee

:25:55. > :25:58.

:25:58. > :26:07.Stakes. A couple of them very edgy. They are racing in the Diamond

:26:07. > :26:15.Jubilee Stakes. And Black Caviar has got away to a good start. The

:26:15. > :26:19.early leader is Soul. Moonlight Cloud takes up a position in the

:26:19. > :26:28.middle of the field, from The Cheka. Pastoral Player is further back in

:26:28. > :26:33.the field. There followed by Krypton Factor. As they race up

:26:33. > :26:43.towards halfway, Soul, the leader. Now, Black Caviar or ambling up on

:26:43. > :26:44.

:26:44. > :26:53.the near side, in third. Further back is kinky. As they come up, the

:26:53. > :27:03.leader is Soul. Black Caviar starts to move up on the near side. Now,

:27:03. > :27:08.

:27:08. > :27:14.he says go. It is Black Caviar! Here comes Restiadargent. Here

:27:14. > :27:22.comes Moonlight Cloud! It is tight! Photo-finish between Black Caviar

:27:22. > :27:32.and Moonlight Cloud! Further back is Krypton Factor. Then, Sirius

:27:32. > :27:41.Prospect, from Society Rock. This is tight. This is very, very tight

:27:41. > :27:48.indeed. Black Caviar, flashing home down the outside. As they raced

:27:48. > :27:58.towards the line... She might have just got it. She has got there, she

:27:58. > :28:00.

:28:00. > :28:07.has scraped home. She has got there by a nostril. The winner, number 11,

:28:07. > :28:16.Black Caviar. The cheers of the crowd, and the relief of Peter

:28:16. > :28:26.Moody. He will not be a happy man. Luke Nolen, we will have a look at

:28:26. > :28:27.

:28:27. > :28:33.it again. But this is the reaction in Melbourne, in federation square.

:28:33. > :28:40.As they know now all that Black Caviar has scraped home in the

:28:40. > :28:45.closest of finishes to the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. There is Black

:28:45. > :28:50.Caviar. Look at Luke Nolen, riding so confidently near the line, but

:28:50. > :28:56.look at the swoop down the outside from these two. He is riding so

:28:56. > :29:02.confidently, as they get towards the line. But Moonlight Cloud, in

:29:02. > :29:07.the White, and Restiadargent, in the centre, the two French horses,

:29:07. > :29:17.are swooping. And as they hit the line, it is Black Caviar, by a

:29:17. > :29:40.

:29:40. > :29:48.It is a head by a neck. She started 6-1 on favourite. They are the

:29:48. > :29:54.British bookmakers prices. Luke Nolen and Peter Moody, and there is

:29:54. > :30:04.the photograph. Luke Nolen realised close to home that they were

:30:04. > :30:04.

:30:04. > :30:10.closing. And Black Caviar has scraped home. The alarm was going

:30:10. > :30:19.off, I would say, about 30 yards from the line. And this fantastic

:30:19. > :30:29.western has now won 22 races in a row. She has won the Diamond

:30:29. > :30:34.

:30:34. > :30:42.in front of this enormous crowd, a crowd of about 80,000 here at Royal

:30:42. > :30:51.Ascot today. He has cantered her down the track.

:30:51. > :30:56.She will be fully appreciative of that, and then he will trot back in

:30:56. > :30:59.front of the members. Wye say the relief of connections would be

:30:59. > :31:05.enormous and also the relief of the jockey, because when he watches

:31:05. > :31:10.that again on replay he will have his heart in his mouth. He won't

:31:10. > :31:16.sleep for a week. He is not the only one who had his

:31:16. > :31:20.heart in his mouth, a whole nation held their breath because they

:31:20. > :31:24.thought this supermare had been caught on the line and for all of

:31:24. > :31:28.them watching in Melbourne a huge sigh of relief and cheer went up

:31:28. > :31:33.when the result was confirmed and Peter Moody had said he didn't mind

:31:33. > :31:40.by half an an inch, but I thought he was joking, maybe Luke took him

:31:40. > :31:45.at his word, because, Willie, that was extraordinary. Got little too

:31:45. > :31:50.confident, did Luke. He's been winning sort of easy all the time

:31:50. > :31:56.down in Australia, but here obviously she's travelled a long

:31:56. > :31:59.way. Possibly not as good as she normally is, but she has been on

:31:59. > :32:04.the best on the day and there is a lot of relief that the photograph

:32:05. > :32:08.went that way. If it hadn't gone that way, I am afraid the jockey,

:32:08. > :32:12.the rest of his life would have been not very nice because he

:32:12. > :32:16.looked as though he took it a little bit too easy, instead of

:32:16. > :32:21.having a little look to see where the other horses were, he sort of

:32:21. > :32:29.went up to the last quarter a furlong and hands and heels very

:32:29. > :32:31.quietly. Let's have another look at it. Many people will have been

:32:31. > :32:34.wondering what happened there. He doesn't want to give her a hard

:32:34. > :32:38.race because of the travelling she has done and they want to go

:32:38. > :32:43.elsewhere in the world and win another of these global sprint

:32:43. > :32:49.races. Look, he is pushing her there. He has the stick, gave her a

:32:49. > :32:56.little tap there. Back-hander. Another. He's flicked her a few

:32:56. > :33:00.times. It's now. Now he is keeping her balanced. Hasn't - he stops

:33:00. > :33:06.riding now and oh! Let me ask you an honest question, has he mistaken

:33:06. > :33:13.the winning line? We will have to wait and see. We will wait and see

:33:13. > :33:16.what he says when he gets back. He did actually stop riding there.

:33:16. > :33:20.can see there the conflicted emotions of all those associated

:33:20. > :33:24.with Black Caviar. They thought oh my word! She's been caught, and

:33:24. > :33:34.then the jubilation when it's confirmed she has not been caught,

:33:34. > :33:48.

:33:48. > :33:52.she's hung on and has won the Nay please your majesty, my Lords,

:33:52. > :33:56.ladies and gentlemen, everyone in the UK and everyone in Australia,

:33:56. > :34:01.she has travelled halfway around the world, defending an unbeaten

:34:01. > :34:07.record, she has hung on. It may have been tight, but she has won

:34:07. > :34:15.her 22nd race. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Diamond Jubilee,

:34:15. > :34:19.Black Caviar! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING.

:34:19. > :34:29.It hasn't gone according to script, but the result is what everybody

:34:29. > :34:29.

:34:29. > :34:34.wanted. She's won it officially by a head and the time was 1.91 of a

:34:34. > :34:40.second outside the record. It's been an amazing performance in the

:34:40. > :34:47.ground under the circumstances. But Luke Nolen will be going back over

:34:47. > :34:57.that and he will be looking over and over again and asking just why

:34:57. > :34:59.

:34:59. > :35:06.he eased. So, there she is. She's relaxed! I don't think there's

:35:06. > :35:11.anybody else here very relaxed. But whether he actually mistook the

:35:11. > :35:14.winning post, or whether he was confused, I don't know. Or maybe

:35:14. > :35:19.too confident. Let's have another look. Look at him, he is riding

:35:19. > :35:27.hands and heels, still riding out now, but look at those two on the

:35:27. > :35:36.outside closing. And now he eases. But there's still a few strides to

:35:36. > :35:46.go. Now he gets a response from the mare. He has just fallen in. The

:35:46. > :35:52.

:35:52. > :35:57.outstanding mare who has capped the most fantastic week here at Royal

:35:57. > :36:03.Ascot. We have had Frankel's 11- length tkepl demolition on the

:36:03. > :36:08.first day. We have had Frankie Dettori winning the Gold Cup. We

:36:08. > :36:12.have had So You Think winning the Prince of Wales Stakes and the

:36:13. > :36:19.Queen has had a winner. And there is Her Majesty down there to see

:36:19. > :36:23.this mare herself. What a fantastic compliment to Peter Moody, to this

:36:23. > :36:33.great mare that Her Majesty has come down herself to see her in the

:36:33. > :36:43.flesh. A magnificent moment. A great moment for Australian racing,

:36:43. > :36:45.

:36:45. > :36:52.for Australian sport. Luke Nolen coming over. This great

:36:52. > :36:57.partnership, he's been aboard for the majority of her wins. Just the

:36:57. > :37:02.first couple, he missed another one under suspension. Anyway, sighs of

:37:02. > :37:08.relief all round. I would say those who laid the long odds on breathing

:37:08. > :37:13.the biggest sighs of relief as Luke Nolen steps on to the scales let's

:37:13. > :37:23.check the details with John. are right there, Jim. The punter

:37:23. > :37:30.

:37:30. > :37:34.with �100,000 on to win �20,000, he had. Jim mentioned that Luke Nolen

:37:34. > :37:39.will watch this a few more times, this is the bit he won't mind

:37:39. > :37:42.seeing, the fact she did pick up again when she asked and Moonlight

:37:42. > :37:47.Cloud couldn't close fast enough and on the line she was still a

:37:47. > :37:50.nose in front. He gives Peter Moody a big kiss there. The gamble paid

:37:50. > :37:55.off. The gamble to come here, the owners were the ones that wanted to

:37:55. > :38:00.do it and the Queen has come down to greet the horse. Let's hear now

:38:00. > :38:07.from the winning trainer and jockey with Rishi.

:38:07. > :38:15.The first question, they want to know what happened in the closing

:38:15. > :38:20.stages? I probably underestimated the testing track of Ascot. I was -

:38:20. > :38:23.she had enough and the big engine right down, it's unfortunate

:38:23. > :38:27.because it's going to overshadow what was a good win. They're going

:38:28. > :38:32.to talk more about my brain fade than the horse's fantastic effort.

:38:32. > :38:39.Do you feel that prior to that she had shown the superiority that you

:38:39. > :38:44.expected? She did, but like I said, I underestimated the testing

:38:45. > :38:49.straight 16, so we got away with it. Got away with it, what were your

:38:49. > :38:52.thoughts, Peter? You only have to win by a quarter of an inch. We

:38:52. > :38:55.have the job done. The way she travelled through the race

:38:55. > :38:58.everything was going to plan. Was there ever a moment in the closing

:38:58. > :39:03.stages you thought it wasn't quite as dominant as you would have

:39:03. > :39:07.expected? We never expect dominance. We never asked her for dominance.

:39:07. > :39:12.She gets the job done. We are more concerned about her next run than

:39:12. > :39:15.today. We are extremely proud of her. She's 22, it's never been

:39:15. > :39:18.about margins, about dominance. heard you talking before about the

:39:18. > :39:26.fact that as a sportsman you never get a chance to represent Australia.

:39:26. > :39:32.This is your chance to don the baggy green today, how proud of

:39:32. > :39:36.you? Extremely proud Aussie. Words can't describe the feel. Just to be

:39:37. > :39:40.here and take it all in, it's an unbelievable feeling and it's

:39:40. > :39:43.befitting that it's with a horse like this. The moment you led her

:39:43. > :39:50.up to meet the Queen, what was that like? Something I never thought I

:39:50. > :39:54.would experience! It was quite overwhelming. There's no doubt your

:39:54. > :39:58.majesty is certainly a horse lover and the two Queens of Australia,

:39:58. > :40:04.maybe. And Luke, are you going to be able to enjoy this eventually?

:40:04. > :40:10.Look, I will. We won, doesn't matter, but I think it may

:40:10. > :40:16.overshadow what was a fantastic job by the horse. Take my hat off, this

:40:16. > :40:21.little bloke here, Tony, and Paddy Bell, they looked after her the

:40:21. > :40:25.whole time at Newmarket and she's done a fantastic job. I think

:40:25. > :40:35.hopefully my performance hasn't overshadowed what was a great

:40:35. > :40:35.

:40:35. > :40:45.effort by the whole team. Peter, give him a hug! Well done.

:40:45. > :40:48.Luke Nolen being pretty hard on himself, on the PA mic as well.

:40:48. > :40:53.Black Caviar took a full circuit of the paddock and people taking final

:40:53. > :40:59.photos of her and applauding her as she goes away now and I am sure

:40:59. > :41:04.they will be heading to Hong Kong. There is a �1 million bonus for any

:41:04. > :41:09.horse that can win three races in global sprint series in three

:41:09. > :41:12.different countries. There is one in Japan as well coming up. A horse

:41:12. > :41:18.at Newmarket, Clare, that won't be that bothered, you know. Who is

:41:18. > :41:27.that? Frankel. That's true, he won't! Her Majesty the Queen makes

:41:27. > :41:33.the presentation for the Diamond Jubilee to the winning owners. Ten

:41:33. > :41:40.owners of Black Caviar. In fact, it looks as if the female members of

:41:40. > :41:45.the winning partnership will do the honours as they lift now the

:41:45. > :41:49.Diamond Jubilee trophy. A fantastic success for them.

:41:49. > :41:53.Although Luke Nolen clearly still asking himself questions and

:41:53. > :42:00.apologising, the main thing is, as Peter Moody said, they came here

:42:00. > :42:03.and they won. Her unbeaten record remains in tact. Which is

:42:03. > :42:13.absolutely marvellous, 22 straight wins. It's a modern day record. She

:42:13. > :42:18.extends her modern day record. is an - after the race she walked

:42:18. > :42:24.around and she was getting a cheer all the way around. She didn't

:42:24. > :42:29.bother a bit. She is a really relaxed mare. A huge cheer goes up

:42:29. > :42:32.for Peter Moody. He follows in the footsteps of the great trainers who

:42:32. > :42:42.have come here, taken on the challenge of bringing horses from

:42:42. > :42:49.

:42:49. > :42:53.Australia to Royal Ascot, and have applause and I tell you what, when

:42:53. > :43:03.punters can still collect they forgive pretty quickly. If he got

:43:03. > :43:15.

:43:15. > :43:20.caught, different story. But he didn't. Job done. I don't think we

:43:20. > :43:25.saw her at her best, because all our sprinters were within five

:43:25. > :43:30.lengths or there at the finish and the jockey was saying that he

:43:30. > :43:35.underestimated the stiffness of this racecourse. In Australia the

:43:35. > :43:45.courses are lovely, flat and nearly always run on fast-ish ground.

:43:45. > :43:47.

:43:47. > :43:52.jockey that got closest to catching them was on board Moon-- moonlight

:43:52. > :43:57.Cloud. As the Queen poses for photographs, I suspect she is

:43:57. > :44:07.saying did you wonder if you had won? Everybody held their breath.

:44:07. > :44:15.

:44:15. > :44:25.Let's hear his reaction, he very happy for my filly, and just a

:44:25. > :44:31.nose for the finish. The best in France. Were you surprised when

:44:31. > :44:36.Luke Nolen stopped riding? No, not surprise today, on good chance

:44:37. > :44:42.normally, yeah. The best in Australia filly. Nearly? Yeah.

:44:42. > :44:44.Almost. Well done, thank you. I think to be fair he probably

:44:44. > :44:48.misunderstood the question there. I think he thought the question was

:44:49. > :44:53.were you surprised that Black Caviar won? No, he wasn't surprised

:44:53. > :45:00.at that. Happy scenes. I hope Luke can

:45:00. > :45:05.actually enjoy it now. It's a shame for him. What he's anticipating is

:45:05. > :45:10.that the rollicking he will get in the Australian press. You want to

:45:10. > :45:20.pick up an Australian newspaper, they don't hold back. Well, he

:45:20. > :45:25.

:45:25. > :45:33.day for him, but let's not forget all these Australian people who

:45:33. > :45:38.have come to see this mare, and she still won. We did not get the

:45:38. > :45:42.fireworks, but after all, she still won the race. The full team of

:45:42. > :45:45.owners, and I suspect that is a spot they will not want to be

:45:45. > :45:53.leaving in a hurry, because this is a magnificent achievement. Well

:45:53. > :45:59.done, them, for taking the gamble, for putting her record on the line.

:45:59. > :46:04.Yes. 22 straight. CLARE BALDING: But it does confirm

:46:04. > :46:09.what we said at the beginning, a race has to be won. It is not run

:46:09. > :46:15.on paper. And the rest of the field have gone very, very close to

:46:15. > :46:19.toppling her. Thierry Jarnet said, best in France, so obviously he

:46:19. > :46:27.thinks that his filly is the best sprinter in France. If that is true,

:46:27. > :46:31.well, she has beaten the best of France and the best that we can

:46:31. > :46:35.muster in England. And even is she has not won by five or six lengths,

:46:35. > :46:44.she has won. And that result alone caps an amazing week here at Royal

:46:44. > :46:47.Ascot. It is the last that will be televised on the BBC for the

:46:47. > :46:52.foreseeable future. Peter Dimmock was part of the royal procession

:46:52. > :46:58.earlier, the first man to host Grandstand and Sports Review of the

:46:58. > :47:02.year. The most influential person in BBC Sport of his era. He was

:47:02. > :47:06.here in 1951, when the BBC first covered Royal Ascot on television.

:47:06. > :47:16.So, a chance now to celebrate the last 61 years of partnership

:47:16. > :47:18.

:47:18. > :47:23.between the BBC and Royal Ascot. Welcome to Ascot. There are places

:47:23. > :47:29.I will remember all my life. This place is special because it has

:47:29. > :47:39.stood the test of time. Though some have changed, some for ever, not

:47:39. > :47:41.

:47:41. > :47:51.for better. Some have gone, and some remain. All these places have

:47:51. > :47:53.

:47:53. > :48:03.their moments. With lovers and friends, I still can recall. Some

:48:03. > :48:06.

:48:06. > :48:16.are dead, some are living. In my life, I have loved them all.

:48:16. > :48:34.

:48:34. > :48:44.COMMENTATOR: And they are away. As Gold Cup! Of all of these friends

:48:44. > :48:46.

:48:46. > :48:56.and lovers, there is no-one compares with you. These memories

:48:56. > :48:57.

:48:57. > :49:07.lose their meaning when I think of love as something new. I know I

:49:07. > :49:08.

:49:08. > :49:18.will never lose affection for people. I know I will often stop

:49:18. > :49:18.

:49:18. > :49:26.and think about them. In my life, I will love you more. There are

:49:27. > :49:36.moments in life, when you want to be able to say, I was there. I will

:49:37. > :49:40.

:49:40. > :49:45.Peter hole, is with me now. In the early days of television coverage,

:49:45. > :49:51.you must have had a huge number of challenges. Yes, and it is quite

:49:51. > :49:57.incredible, the changes. Time goes by, and the one regret for me,

:49:57. > :50:02.having had the honour to be invited by the Queen, is that This is the

:50:02. > :50:08.last time the BBC will do it, which is, I feel, a bit of a tragedy, but

:50:08. > :50:12.time moves on. I am 91, so I should not comment. In terms of the way

:50:12. > :50:15.the meeting has developed, I think this Royal Ascot, we have been

:50:15. > :50:22.saying in racing terms, it has been the best ever. You look at the

:50:22. > :50:27.crowds, the grandstand, it is such a great setting for sport. It has

:50:27. > :50:33.been a great week, with Frankel, then the Queen winning, and now

:50:33. > :50:37.today, but without you and Willie putting it all together on the

:50:37. > :50:40.television, that has made a tremendous difference. You're very

:50:40. > :50:45.sweet, and I will just say, we have not primed him to say that at all.

:50:45. > :50:49.But it seems very fitting that you should be here today, Sir Peter

:50:49. > :50:54.O'Sullivan is here as well. And it does feel like the end of an era,

:50:54. > :50:58.but I am very pleased that you're here. Very kind of you. I should

:50:58. > :51:02.remind you that we have two more days of flat racing to come on BBC

:51:02. > :51:07.television this year. We will be back here at Ascot for the King

:51:07. > :51:12.George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes on 21st July. And then, the

:51:12. > :51:17.season finale, the highlight of the flat racing season in this country,

:51:17. > :51:27.the Qipco British Champions Day, on 20th October, when we hope we will

:51:27. > :51:29.

:51:29. > :51:36.racing in the world this week, but also some of the greatest fashion.

:51:36. > :51:40.With me now, Eve Pollard. You used to do this job, for 23 years.

:51:40. > :51:44.Indeed! It is wonderful to come back to see that the pageant of

:51:44. > :51:48.fashion is as good as it ever was. These dress codes that they have

:51:48. > :51:52.introduced this year have got as got absolutely back to as good as

:51:52. > :51:55.it used to be, particularly in the Royal Enclosure. Let's have a look

:51:55. > :52:00.back at some of the beautiful outfits that we have seen this week.

:52:00. > :52:06.This was on the first day, and she looked terrific in that figure-

:52:06. > :52:13.hugging dress. And there has been a lot of Jubilee inspiration as well.

:52:13. > :52:19.Indeed there has. This is the epitome of Ascot. One of my

:52:19. > :52:24.favourites, effortlessly beautiful. And this one, the hat... The hats

:52:24. > :52:29.have got larger and larger, because of the rules, saying your hat has

:52:29. > :52:34.got to be a certain size. Look at this girl, she looks delightful.

:52:34. > :52:39.have seen some of the younger girls looking really beautiful. And there

:52:39. > :52:43.is also the vintage feel of this year, which looks so nice. She is

:52:43. > :52:51.wearing flowers, as it's that it a day. I don't think you can go wrong

:52:52. > :52:55.with that at Ascot, really. A lot of black-and-white, because of the

:52:55. > :53:03.Ascot scene in My Fair Lady, I guess. And even though the weather

:53:03. > :53:13.has been bad, people have put appropriate stuff on top. Of course,

:53:13. > :53:17.

:53:17. > :53:24.it has been the year of the tottering shoe. The heels have been

:53:24. > :53:34.prodigious. The Duchess of Cambridge has got into trouble with

:53:34. > :53:35.

:53:35. > :53:40.the fashion police, but I believe the nude shoe is here for ever.

:53:40. > :53:44.Also, the great thing about Royal Ascot now, you can come and look

:53:44. > :53:48.fabulous, and you do not have to spend a million bucks on it.

:53:48. > :53:53.certainly do not. The high street does Ascot fashion very well these

:53:53. > :53:56.days. She looks like she is having a wonderful day. Half of the

:53:56. > :54:01.enjoyment is just being comfortable, enjoying what you're wearing,

:54:01. > :54:05.putting it back on, having a drink and having a great time. Let's hope

:54:05. > :54:09.these pictures go around the world, now that there is an Australian

:54:10. > :54:14.superstar in our midst, and British fashion will do well out of it.

:54:14. > :54:21.were watching Black Caviar as she came in here to an absolutely rock

:54:21. > :54:25.star reception. Absolutely. It seemed like she had never heard

:54:25. > :54:30.such a loud noise in her life. was a wonderful atmosphere. I have

:54:30. > :54:36.very much enjoyed the fashion. Do you think the new rules have

:54:36. > :54:42.brought us got back to where it should be? Absolutely, this is set

:54:42. > :54:45.on a fair sale for the next 20 years. Women want to dress up, and

:54:45. > :54:53.as long as that is the case, they will want to come to this event..

:54:53. > :54:56.It has been lovely having you here with us today. Lovely to be back.

:54:56. > :55:00.Now, we have already had quite a bit about the Diamond Jubilee

:55:00. > :55:05.Stakes, the closing stages of it. We will have a look at that in a

:55:05. > :55:11.moment. But first of all, the start, and a very significant start it was.

:55:11. > :55:18.Interesting to watch, in the closing stages, Moonlight Cloud,

:55:18. > :55:24.Thierry Jarnet has brought her all the way over to chase Black Caviar.

:55:24. > :55:29.Last year's winner, the unlucky one, number 13, he was getting fractious,

:55:29. > :55:34.and he has missed it completely. Yes, he sat right down. He is on

:55:34. > :55:40.his haunches, almost. And Johnny Murtagh, he was shaking his head.

:55:40. > :55:47.He said, I would have won, should have won. He said, if he had got

:55:47. > :55:50.out with the others, he had to have beaten them. Also, five from the

:55:50. > :56:00.left, in the white jacket, that is the runner-up, Moonlight Cloud.

:56:00. > :56:01.

:56:01. > :56:06.Nearest to us, the black spotted jacket, that is Black Caviar.

:56:06. > :56:09.makes it look effortless. That was the beginning of the race. Let's

:56:09. > :56:18.look at the closing stages now. You know what has happened with Black

:56:19. > :56:26.Caviar, she has indeed won. Writing behind her there is Restiadargent.

:56:26. > :56:32.And there, with the red, white and blue on the cap, is Society Rock,

:56:32. > :56:36.making his progress. At the end of this, I think there's about seven

:56:36. > :56:44.within about three lengths. Yes, we got the result that everybody

:56:44. > :56:54.predicted, but nobody predicted the closeness of it. It was typical for

:56:54. > :56:54.

:56:54. > :57:02.this race, it was so close. Here's Moonlight Cloud coming.

:57:02. > :57:09.Restiadargent in the centre. We just had Alex with us, saying, is

:57:09. > :57:14.there an inquiry? He was very worried. The second and third

:57:14. > :57:20.horses will not come to the July Cup, they will be racing in France.

:57:20. > :57:23.So, the second and third not back in the UK. But it was a great race

:57:23. > :57:28.to watch, about seven of them covered by three lengths. It does

:57:28. > :57:33.not get any less dramatic the more you see it. The news on Black

:57:33. > :57:36.Caviar... She is going to go into quarantine tonight, and she is

:57:36. > :57:41.going to get on the first plane back to Australia. She is not going

:57:41. > :57:44.to run in the July Cup. I don't know, they were on about Singapore,

:57:44. > :57:48.but she is getting back on the plane and going back to Australia.

:57:48. > :57:53.We shall continue to follow her progress. I think definitely the

:57:53. > :57:57.interest today, and the crowd here was hugely boosted by Black

:57:57. > :58:00.Caviar's participation, they will continue to watch her to see if she

:58:00. > :58:06.can carry on her incredible career. But she was given a fright today,

:58:06. > :58:09.no doubt about it. The main thing is, she won. We have one more race

:58:09. > :58:14.for you one BBC One this afternoon. It is the Wokingham Handicap, there

:58:14. > :58:18.is a big field for it, and Jim McGrath will name them for us.

:58:18. > :58:22.JIM MCGRATH: That decision to go back to Australia immediately is

:58:22. > :58:32.not a sudden one. It was very much on the cards, that she would only

:58:32. > :58:32.

:58:32. > :59:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:59:45. > :59:55.Wokingham Stakes. JOHN PARROTT: So, just the 28 to go

:59:55. > :00:27.

:00:27. > :00:32.eachway at 10-1, Lightning Cloud. More fallout following Black

:00:32. > :00:35.Caviar's narrow win. The press conference is taking place. Peter

:00:35. > :00:40.Moody said Black Caviar was not 100% in the race. He said we will

:00:40. > :00:43.look at her and when she gets home she might be retired. He also added

:00:43. > :00:47.that Frankel's performance on Tuesday was the finest that he has

:00:47. > :00:50.ever seen. Thank you for that, Rishi.

:00:51. > :00:56.Runners on the way to the post. This a recorded shot of Lightning

:00:56. > :01:01.Cloud, the grey gelding trained by Kevin Ryan who won five times last

:01:01. > :01:06.year. All of them over seven furlongs. And led home the centre

:01:06. > :01:09.group in the Victoria Cup. Finished fifth that day. It was a good

:01:09. > :01:15.tpoefplance -- performance. Obviously, knows this track. He is

:01:15. > :01:21.going to run over six today. He was entered here yesterday and didn't

:01:21. > :01:27.take that one up. They decided to wait for this this instead. He's

:01:27. > :01:32.got a draw which is on the far side. I would imagine that they would

:01:32. > :01:36.possibly these horses, the race might happen on the high numbers,

:01:36. > :01:40.the stand side so that Lightning Cloud I would have said is not in

:01:40. > :01:47.the right place. Lightning Cloud is at the bottom of the weights. This

:01:47. > :01:55.horse Maarek is at the top with nine stone, ten. Big tall Joseph

:01:55. > :02:02.O'Brien taking the ride. When he won at Newmarket, he has

:02:02. > :02:08.taken a hike newspaper the weights -- a hike up in the weights. Every

:02:08. > :02:14.pound counts. You are looking for a horse that is going to be under his

:02:14. > :02:19.actual weight performance, rather than a horse whose weight

:02:19. > :02:23.absolutely put on top of him. This horse got a little bit too much

:02:23. > :02:30.weight. Medicean Man is better weighted, do you think? Yes. Loves

:02:30. > :02:37.it here having won last three starts at this course. Four days

:02:37. > :02:47.ago, he ran only four days ago, was fourth in the King's Stand. An

:02:47. > :02:59.

:02:59. > :03:06.Australian trainer. We have an the making.

:03:06. > :03:10.Ryan Moore has a decent chance on High Standing. Again decently

:03:10. > :03:14.weighted. Been running all right without winning yet this season.

:03:14. > :03:20.is drawn one, away on the far side. He will go up the far side rail.

:03:20. > :03:25.won this race in 2009 when William Haggas trained him. Has been placed

:03:25. > :03:28.at a good level twice after that. Hopefully Jeremy - he's obviously

:03:28. > :03:35.thinks the horse is going to run big to get a hold of Ryan Moore to

:03:35. > :03:39.ride him. Let's look at Dungannon, one of Andrew Balding's two runners

:03:39. > :03:49.in this, he has Desert Law as well. His form here at Ascot reads two,

:03:49. > :03:50.

:03:50. > :03:54.two, 0, 0, one. Finished - won the Shergar Cup. Andrew's last and only

:03:54. > :04:01.Royal Ascot winner came in this race in 2007, ridden by that man

:04:01. > :04:06.there, William Buick. He needs this winner to try and get in front of

:04:06. > :04:11.Ryan Moore, because Ryan is leading the championship for the jockey to

:04:11. > :04:21.ride the most winners at Royal Ascot. Waffle was a close second to

:04:21. > :04:25.

:04:25. > :04:28.Deacon Blues who unfortunately is missing out of action at the moment.

:04:28. > :04:33.David is sa bit of a master with sprinters and he was quoted saying

:04:33. > :04:40.she is horses won't mind a little bit of cut in the ground and he

:04:40. > :04:45.obviously fancies this horse Waffle. Godolphin have Scarf in the race.

:04:45. > :04:48.Now that's an interesting horse, Scarf. He was a winner in Australia.

:04:48. > :04:52.Got the Australian theme again. Good looking horse, don't you

:04:53. > :04:57.think? Ran a few times over here, hasn't shown too much. That looks

:04:57. > :05:06.like Frankie Dettori has got off Elusivity, getting on board again

:05:06. > :05:09.now. Giving him a few clicks saying on you go. They're loading up

:05:09. > :05:18.quickly. Let's look at the top of the market and Lightning Cloud is

:05:18. > :05:22.our favourite. About four more to go forward for

:05:22. > :05:27.the final race on BBC1 at Royal Ascot. This is the Wokingham, here

:05:27. > :05:37.is Jim McGrath. The two top at the head of the

:05:37. > :05:41.

:05:41. > :05:47.Wokingham. They're set, ready and stand by, 28 runners, they're off

:05:47. > :05:51.and racing! Scarf one of the first away. Seal Rock Thrupp in the early

:05:51. > :05:57.stages. Secret Witness also going fast on the near side. They settle

:05:57. > :06:00.fully into stride. On the far side as they settle is up there Colonel

:06:00. > :06:05.Mak, who shows the way, from Joe Packet and behind them is New

:06:05. > :06:11.Planet. They're followed by Alben Star. Behind them is Desert Law.

:06:11. > :06:13.They're followed by Oasis Dancer. In the middle of the pack Dungannon.

:06:13. > :06:16.Lightning Cloud in about 6th in that group and being tracked by

:06:16. > :06:20.Maarek in the white cap. Let's switch to the near side. They come

:06:20. > :06:26.up there. It's Secret Witness who shows the way. Secret Witness out

:06:26. > :06:30.in front here, from in second is Palace Moon, followed by Scarf. Far

:06:30. > :06:36.side are in front. Medicean Man also in that group on the near side.

:06:36. > :06:38.They race up now inside the two. Joe Packet gets the lead from Alben

:06:39. > :06:44.Star. Colonel Mak has gone. Lightning Cloud coming into it now,

:06:44. > :06:48.followed by Oasis Dancer. Maarek in the clear and Dungannon. On the

:06:48. > :06:52.near side led by Palace Moon. Action on the far side, though.

:06:52. > :06:58.Racing to the front Dandy Boy. Dandy Boy has the lead. Dandy Boy

:06:58. > :07:04.wins the Wokingham. Morache Music in a photo for second with Waffle.

:07:04. > :07:09.They were followed next by Hawkeyethenoo. Further back then

:07:09. > :07:19.Maarek and Alben Star and nicely clear of Gordon Lord Byron, Pepper

:07:19. > :07:21.

:07:21. > :07:31.Lane is the last to cross the line. It's a big win for Dandy Boy, Path

:07:31. > :07:34.

:07:34. > :07:38.-- Pat Dobbs. Hawkeyethenoo. Waffle gets second, I would say. A photo

:07:38. > :07:42.third between Morache Music and Hawkeyethenoo. Behind them is

:07:42. > :07:50.Dungannon and Maarek who has run well. On the near side next to

:07:50. > :07:53.Scarf down there with Palace Moon and also Elusivity. Top of the

:07:53. > :08:00.screen Lightning Cloud, with Alben Star. Bottom of the screen the red

:08:00. > :08:04.blinkers there of Secret Witness. Then Gordon Lord Byron, then Seal

:08:04. > :08:09.Rock on the near side. Down the bottom of the screen,

:08:09. > :08:16.Pabusar, Medicean Man never got into it. Lui Rei on the near side

:08:16. > :08:23.with Gramercy. Top of the screen Oasis Dancer.

:08:23. > :08:27.Behind them King Of Jazz, then Desert Law. Then New Planet. Also

:08:27. > :08:32.High Standing and Sir Reginald never got into it.

:08:32. > :08:35.Joe Packet was showing speed early and got weary. A big field of 28

:08:36. > :08:40.here. Looking for the stragglers, I think

:08:40. > :08:47.Pepper Lane was the last to cross. Colonel Mak, who showed pace, is

:08:47. > :08:57.about second or third last. No doubt about the winner, Dandy

:08:57. > :09:06.

:09:06. > :09:13.Boy, Pat Dobbs. A handy sprinter. Dandy Boy has proven one of their

:09:13. > :09:19.best. David Marnane the trainer and Pat Dobbs the winning rider. A good

:09:19. > :09:27.performance. The official placings for second and third, Waffle

:09:27. > :09:37.officially second, third is Hawkeyethenoo. Fourth, officially,

:09:37. > :09:41.is Morache Music, Seb Sanders. There are the prices. Big prices

:09:41. > :09:51.again. This has been the trend in the big handicaps this week. It's

:09:51. > :09:59.

:09:59. > :10:03.been hard to stab them with one this Dandy Boy. Won the Victoria

:10:03. > :10:07.Cup here, so had Ascot form but that was back in 2009. His last

:10:07. > :10:15.four wins had been over seven furlongs, so possibly again proving

:10:15. > :10:18.the fact the ground is testing here, it's sapping the energy energy, you

:10:18. > :10:24.see Dandy Boy making a smooth run through the middle of that pack.

:10:24. > :10:30.Luckily, doesn't get interrupted coming past the grey horses. Clare,

:10:30. > :10:35.he ran in a mile handicap at the Curragh last month. The stamina

:10:35. > :10:39.must come through. It's the way he took off at the furlong marker.

:10:39. > :10:47.He's done it in the style of a very classy animal. He's carried nine

:10:47. > :10:54.stone eight and he hasn't won for a very long time. So, today he has

:10:54. > :11:03.put up a very good performance. That's one of the very good times.

:11:03. > :11:07.Apart from Frankel times haven't been stunning this week. Graham Lee,

:11:07. > :11:11.former Grand National winning jockey, his first ride at Royal

:11:11. > :11:16.Ascot, coming home in third. For Pat Dobbs and David, the trainer,

:11:16. > :11:23.this is a first for both of them, their first Royal winner with Dandy

:11:23. > :11:33.Boy in the Wokingham. Great moment.

:11:33. > :11:47.

:11:47. > :11:52.victory, for sure, he will also be delighted to know that the time was

:11:53. > :11:59.actually 0.23 of a second faster than Black Caviar recorded in that

:11:59. > :12:03.scramble to the line in the Diamond Jubilee. So, if you were watching

:12:03. > :12:08.and you are not a racing enthusiast, it doesn't necessarily mean that -

:12:08. > :12:15.in fact it doesn't mean that Dandy Boy is better than Black Caviar,

:12:15. > :12:23.but he has recorded a faster time. Strange as that may seem. There he

:12:23. > :12:31.is there. Pat Dobbs, great to see him, a very hard working rider.

:12:31. > :12:39.Great to see him get that Royal Ascot winner. It's been a great day

:12:39. > :12:45.here. Great atmosphere. Never known a Royal Ascot like it for the

:12:45. > :12:51.build-up, for the results, for just the way everything's panned out.

:12:51. > :13:01.It's been one of those magic meetings. Let's check the full

:13:01. > :13:06.

:13:06. > :13:11.result now on the Wokingham with unlucky Waffle. Third Hawkeyethenoo

:13:11. > :13:16.and fourth Morache Music at 20-1. Well done to connections. I am

:13:16. > :13:21.going to grab a word with the trainer. Well done. Familiar

:13:21. > :13:25.territory for this horse, he won the Victor Cup. -- Victoria Cup a

:13:25. > :13:29.couple of years ago. We are trying to get him to switch off, he is

:13:29. > :13:34.always a horse with plenty of speed. You know, we ran him over a mile

:13:34. > :13:38.the last day because it was his first run for a mile. He's come

:13:38. > :13:42.here in the best form we have had him in a long time. It's great to

:13:42. > :13:46.see him back to form. He struggled really, he was out in Dubai.

:13:46. > :13:49.broke the track record over seven and picked up an injury in the next

:13:49. > :13:54.run and took a while to get him back again. He is back fully, thank

:13:54. > :14:00.God. You clocked a quicker time than Black Caviar. We won't talk

:14:00. > :14:04.about that! I am delighted for him. I am delighted for his owner, a big

:14:04. > :14:09.supporter. It's great. Thank you very much. Here is Pat. Well done.

:14:09. > :14:16.Thank you. Tell us how that went for stphaou the plan was to drop in,

:14:16. > :14:20.take my time, he can be keen if he is too far forward. He settled good.

:14:20. > :14:23.Went through very well. Even got there a little bit too soon. But if

:14:24. > :14:27.I didn't do when I did I would have been cut off and there was plenty

:14:27. > :14:35.of horses on the inside probably would have been trafg problems.

:14:35. > :14:40.traffic problems. Your first Royal Ascot winner. Yeah. Looking forward

:14:40. > :14:44.to it for a long time. It's nice to get one. On a very important day in

:14:44. > :14:49.racing, I was saying to David your horse clocked a faster time than

:14:49. > :14:53.Black Caviar. Yeah, it felt very good. Even got there too soon. It

:14:53. > :14:57.would be better horse longer I am sure. Well done. Thank you very

:14:57. > :15:01.much. The Wokingham, a competitive sprint

:15:01. > :15:04.handicap in which they've gone incredibly fast. The first four

:15:04. > :15:09.home were virtually last in their respective groups at the halfway

:15:09. > :15:18.stage. Let's look at the start. It was all over for Pepper Lane in

:15:18. > :15:23.number 7 there. She rears up a lot. You can see this, did very well to

:15:23. > :15:27.maintain the partnership and lucky the horse didn't do itself damage

:15:27. > :15:30.and rightly so, there's no point. The race is virtually over. You

:15:30. > :15:34.need get off on level terms. those circumstances, you say he

:15:34. > :15:44.can't be certain she hasn't pulled a muscle or something. Let's look

:15:44. > :15:50.

:15:50. > :15:54.at the group on the far side of the group. They were the three that

:15:54. > :15:58.finished on the far side. The one that finished on the nearside was

:15:58. > :16:08.right here at the back of his group, that was Waffle. Basically, they

:16:08. > :16:13.have gone very fast in front. Cash in the closing stages. This side,

:16:13. > :16:16.the group that get involved, and you can see on the far side, Waffle.

:16:16. > :16:23.From what I have seen, they were lucky that none of them got stopped

:16:23. > :16:26.as they went through. No, I think they were able to weave their way

:16:26. > :16:31.in and out. Pat Dobbs has had a dream, riding the winner. Fran

:16:31. > :16:37.Berry, I had a word with him, he says, his horse thinks he has one.

:16:37. > :16:42.At least he won his own race, over on the far side. So, Dandy Boy

:16:42. > :16:45.coming clear to win it. If you back one that was up at the front of the

:16:45. > :16:51.race, on either side, you will probably get your money back next

:16:51. > :16:58.time when they do not go so fast, and it is not such a tough race.

:16:58. > :17:03.Presentation for the Wokingham Stakes has been made, by the former

:17:03. > :17:10.head of the Hong Kong jockey Club. His horse finished third in the

:17:10. > :17:14.Hardwicke Stakes, earlier on, behind Sea Moon. So, a landmark day

:17:14. > :17:21.for them. A high-class winner of that handicap.

:17:21. > :17:25.WILLIE CARSON: he is a very distinguished-looking jockey. Very

:17:25. > :17:30.much into the Richard Hannon success story, because he has been

:17:30. > :17:39.there a very long time. He is there every morning, and he gets a lot of

:17:39. > :17:43.winners for Richard Hannon. But he does get third-string. Which is why

:17:43. > :17:49.he had not ridden a winner at Royal Ascot until today. Let's take you

:17:49. > :17:52.through the story of this final day at Royal Ascot. The crowd who

:17:52. > :17:58.actually boosted by Australian racing fans coming to Ascot today

:17:58. > :18:02.to watch the royal procession, and to support Black Caviar. The first

:18:02. > :18:11.race went to the exuberant Frankie Dettori, in the blue colours of

:18:11. > :18:18.Godolphin, on Tha'ir, and it was Frankie's second winner of the week.

:18:18. > :18:24.But Ryan Moore went back to the top of the leading jockeys board, with

:18:24. > :18:30.his victory in the 3.05. Then we had Black Caviar, moving smoothly

:18:30. > :18:36.enough into the lead in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, but then Luke Nolen

:18:36. > :18:41.himself said he had a brain freeze. But she held on, just. The Queen

:18:41. > :18:49.came down to greet the winner. And, as we have just seen, in the

:18:49. > :18:53.Wokingham Stakes, a 33-1 winner, Dandy Boy. It has been a truly

:18:53. > :19:00.international week, we have had a Hong Kong-trained winner, and of

:19:00. > :19:05.course, an Australian winner, among others. Just to confirm those who

:19:05. > :19:09.have come into the winner's area today... And also, we have been so

:19:09. > :19:13.lucky with the weather. We had that one cloudburst, that really could

:19:13. > :19:18.have made the difference, that's where Black Caviar was lucky, that

:19:18. > :19:22.that rain did not last any longer. Indeed, I think there's a lot of

:19:22. > :19:27.people who had a huge sigh of relief, and I was one of them.

:19:27. > :19:33.Let's face it, most of us came here today to see a superstar. We saw

:19:33. > :19:37.her, but I'm sure Peter Moody and Luke Nolen know that she is better

:19:37. > :19:42.than that. She was not at her best today, and the journey must have

:19:42. > :19:46.taken a lot out of her. Her fans do not go home disappointed, because

:19:46. > :19:49.she has won, but the manner of success left everybody gasping.

:19:49. > :19:55.WILLIE CARSON: It was a workmanlike performance, rather than

:19:55. > :19:59.spectacular. Honestly, can you imagine what would have happened if

:19:59. > :20:05.she had been caught? It would have been terrible, but it did not

:20:05. > :20:11.happen, thank goodness. And there we have happy scenes, because this

:20:11. > :20:16.great filly has actually won a Group One race, travelling 12,000

:20:16. > :20:19.miles over to England, and it is very nice for it to happen, as well

:20:19. > :20:28.as nice for all the English trainers to think, we are not that

:20:28. > :20:38.far behind. And certainly the French trained as a! Yes, but the

:20:38. > :20:42.

:20:43. > :20:49.English horses were not that far behind it, either. James, I asked

:20:49. > :20:54.him, he could not even speak. he was really sat down in the

:20:54. > :20:58.stalls. We still have two more races to come for you on BBC

:20:58. > :21:04.interactive, sadly not on Freeview. But we do have two more races to

:21:04. > :21:14.come. Tonight, at 10:50pm, highlights of the third quarter

:21:14. > :21:16.

:21:16. > :21:21.final in Euro 2012, Spain-France. And tomorrow night, England-France.

:21:21. > :21:31.On Saturday 21st July, we will be back here for the King George VI

:21:31. > :21:33.

:21:33. > :21:39.and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. I was just thinking, that was wrong, we

:21:40. > :21:47.are playing it Ilie! The graphic was wrong, I'm sorry. -- we are

:21:47. > :21:55.playing Italy. I would just like to say a huge thank you to everybody

:21:55. > :21:58.who has worked for BBC Television on Royal Ascot over the years. And

:21:58. > :22:08.thanks to Willie Carson, it has been great to work with you. Bye-

:22:08. > :22:13.

:22:13. > :22:19.most magnificent sporting occasion in Europe. The theme of celebration,

:22:19. > :22:29.very much in the air. This is the best racehorse that you have ever

:22:29. > :22:31.

:22:31. > :22:41.seen, I have ever seen, anybody will ever see. Can a performance!

:22:41. > :22:58.

:22:58. > :23:07.The superb, the spectacular, Wales's Stakes, So You Think!
