:00:29. > :00:34.We are at Buckingham Palace Arne Diamond Jubilee weekend, and this

:00:34. > :00:37.is impressive backdrop for four days of pageantry and parting and

:00:37. > :00:41.some of the world's biggest stars are already in town for the concert

:00:41. > :00:45.at the Palace on Monday evening. This is where they will sing for

:00:45. > :00:50.the Queen and thousands of guests, all of them under the watchful eye

:00:50. > :00:54.of the only other British monarch to celebrate 60 years on the throne.

:00:54. > :01:00.The celebrations started back in February, on the anniversary of the

:01:00. > :01:03.Queen's accession in 1952, but today it is the first day of the

:01:03. > :01:07.official Diamond Jubilee weekend. It is a fair bet the Queen is

:01:07. > :01:10.looking forward to the first engagement with more than a little

:01:11. > :01:16.enthusiasm, because she has been attending the Epsom Derby for the

:01:16. > :01:22.past eight decades. She will be there again today. In London, final

:01:22. > :01:26.preparations are under way for this extended weekend. A few hours ago,

:01:26. > :01:29.rehearsals for the concert had to stop while the troops of the

:01:29. > :01:34.Household Division made their way to household -- Joe Horse Guards,

:01:34. > :01:38.because they are preparing for the Jubilee birthday parade in a

:01:38. > :01:41.fortnight's time. So focusing on the days ahead here on BBC One and

:01:41. > :01:51.we will bring you at live, unrivalled coverage of all the

:01:51. > :02:10.

:02:10. > :02:14.That is all to come, but we start the Fun Today at Epsom, where the

:02:14. > :02:17.Queen is about to arrive for the famous Derby, so it is over to

:02:17. > :02:21.Clare Balding to guide us through the afternoon's events. Over to you,

:02:21. > :02:26.Clare. Huw, thank you very much, it is

:02:26. > :02:30.about 60 miles from where you are outside Buckingham Palace to as

:02:30. > :02:34.here on the Epsom Downs, the course that provides the biggest and

:02:34. > :02:37.greatest challenge to any thoroughbred racehorse. It is a

:02:37. > :02:42.grey, overcast day, but there is colour everywhere, and the

:02:42. > :02:46.predominant themes are red, white and blue. This is the flower border

:02:46. > :02:50.outside the royal box, and that is the balcony from which the Queen

:02:50. > :02:55.will watch the 2012 running of the Derby, a race the tai-chi has

:02:55. > :03:00.rarely missed since 1953, the year of her coronation when she came in

:03:00. > :03:03.person to watch Oriel finished second. There are thousands and

:03:03. > :03:07.thousands of people here on the common ground of the Downs, where

:03:07. > :03:11.it is free entry and you can dress up in what you like and enjoy a

:03:11. > :03:16.picnic, get on the fairground rides, just have a wonderful family day

:03:16. > :03:19.out. The main grandstands here are completely sold out, and we are

:03:19. > :03:25.already had the thrill and the entertainment of the Parachute

:03:25. > :03:28.Regiment, the Red Devils, flying down from the sky with a 2000

:03:28. > :03:32.square foot Union Flag. It is a terrific stage, the perfect

:03:32. > :03:36.platform from which to kick of the four days of the Diamond Jubilee

:03:36. > :03:39.holiday, and so many here are in such an enthusiastic frame of mind,

:03:39. > :03:43.all of them waiting to see the Queen and the royal party arrived

:03:43. > :03:48.and process down the course in an open-top Range Rover, hoping to

:03:48. > :03:52.enjoy the thrill of Derby Day. What a great race with a fabulous

:03:52. > :03:57.history, a race that the Queen herself has loved and enjoyed so

:03:57. > :04:00.The Epsom Derby is the world's greatest Classic horse race.

:04:00. > :04:04.Welcome to Epsom for one of the biggest days in the sporting

:04:04. > :04:08.calendar. Derby Day is always a very special national occasion.

:04:08. > :04:10.Royal association with Epsom goes back 300 years. Her Majesty the

:04:10. > :04:14.Queen making her way to the paddock. This year, with the Jubilee

:04:14. > :04:19.celebrations only days away, it is a really right Royal occasion.

:04:19. > :04:22.great moment, this, in any year, but all the more so in Jubilee year.

:04:22. > :04:26.Can he win the Derby for the Queen? A nation awaits. And Dunfermline

:04:26. > :04:33.now going into the lead! Carlton House now strides to the front for

:04:33. > :04:36.Her Majesty the Queen! It was neck and neck. It's going to be a Royal

:04:36. > :04:44.victory, I think. It's a Royal winner. Jubilee fever seems to be

:04:44. > :04:54.on everyone. A day that Her Majesty the Queen tries not to miss. And to

:04:54. > :04:58.

:04:58. > :05:02.top it all, Her Majesty the Queen Today's jockeys know they're going

:05:02. > :05:07.to perform in front of the Queen. That is Paul Hanagan, the champion

:05:07. > :05:13.jockey, his first Derby ride. William Buick, such a promising

:05:13. > :05:17.young talent, who rides Thought Worthy. Jamie Spencer, one of only

:05:17. > :05:21.two jockeys to have been placed in the race before, he rides Minimise

:05:21. > :05:26.Risk. The only jockey to have won it is Ryan Moore, who has got his

:05:26. > :05:30.game based on, it has been walking the course. He is on board

:05:30. > :05:37.Astrology. He won one Workforce. Jimmy Fortune takes the ride on the

:05:37. > :05:40.second favourite, on fire. -- Bonfire. We will of course be

:05:40. > :05:44.previewing the Derby in full, giving you the stories behind the

:05:44. > :05:49.scenes, but the Diamond Jubilee and the Queen's arrival is forefront in

:05:49. > :05:53.our minds, and the editor of Majesty magazine is alongside me.

:05:53. > :05:58.Have we seen anything like this before? I have never seen anything

:05:58. > :06:02.like this, it is quite magnificent. 60 years ago, when the Derby was

:06:02. > :06:07.run on a Wednesday, the court was still in mourning for the Queen's

:06:07. > :06:13.father, King George VI, and she was not here. Next year is the

:06:13. > :06:16.anniversary of the Coronation Derby, but I think the Queen is probably

:06:16. > :06:21.looking forward to this. There is a wonderful atmosphere of excitement,

:06:21. > :06:24.everyone waiting to see her. much joy from everyone, young and

:06:24. > :06:29.old, whether they can remember the coronation, the accession to the

:06:29. > :06:37.throne, or whether they are very young and just know that this is

:06:37. > :06:42.their Queen. In amongst that crowd for as his son Ali Shah. -- Sonali

:06:42. > :06:46.Shah. We are inside the course over here, and this is where the fun is

:06:46. > :06:51.really being had, we have got lots of families having picnics, we have

:06:51. > :06:58.got the fairground, lots of bunting and plenty of funding. Yes, it is a

:06:58. > :07:02.word, I have made it up! This family are very excited to be here.

:07:03. > :07:08.Grandad Richard has brought along his three kids, their partners and

:07:08. > :07:12.five grandchildren. Why was it so important for you to be here?

:07:12. > :07:17.so important because we have come to support the Queen and two of my

:07:17. > :07:20.grandchildren are half German, and we would like them to feel part of

:07:20. > :07:27.their British Heritage, which they will probably remember in years to

:07:27. > :07:30.come. Robert, you have come from Switzerland. All the way over from

:07:30. > :07:35.Switzerland just to be here on this special weekend, the Queen's

:07:35. > :07:40.Jubilee, so we definitely wanted to be here. Alex, why are you so

:07:40. > :07:44.excited to be here? Excited to be with my family, my brother has come

:07:44. > :07:54.from Switzerland, now we are going to be on television, so we can

:07:54. > :07:54.

:07:54. > :07:58.remember that! Who is looking I just love how excited everybody

:07:58. > :08:03.is, you know, the chance to see the Queen in person and to see air at

:08:03. > :08:07.the place that she has chosen. This is how she once took a car the

:08:07. > :08:11.Diamond Jubilee, and for them to conjure the Derby, racing fans are

:08:11. > :08:16.not, they are here because the Queen has said to come. It is such

:08:16. > :08:20.a wonderfully exciting day anyway, but especially because of his very

:08:20. > :08:24.patriotic feeling that as Brits do not always do very well. It is

:08:24. > :08:29.really nice to feel it here. I know the Queen herself will be looking

:08:29. > :08:34.very closely at the nine runners for the Derby, the smallest field

:08:34. > :08:38.for 105 years, but it is bursting with quality in the face of the hot

:08:38. > :08:44.favourite, Camelot, the odds-on favourites, looking like he will be

:08:44. > :08:48.the shortest-priced favourite since 1947 when a horse called Tudor

:08:48. > :08:54.Minstrel went off at 7-4 on, but only finished 4th. Plenty of people

:08:54. > :08:58.are thinking, I will do my own bit of crown jewels! Quite a comic feel

:08:58. > :09:02.to some of it, but I like the light-hearted mess of it and the

:09:02. > :09:05.fact that everybody... Derby Day has always been like that, it is

:09:05. > :09:09.not like Royal Ascot, where you have to be very smart, everyone can

:09:09. > :09:14.do their own thing here. Particularly on the Downs, as a

:09:14. > :09:17.child, I used to go down to the start, my brother came more often

:09:18. > :09:21.than I did, but you could come in T-shirts and shorts and get close

:09:21. > :09:25.to the horses were just be part of the fairground atmosphere and then

:09:25. > :09:30.try to run across to the rail to see the field flashed by. I have

:09:30. > :09:36.ridden along the Derby course. I used to ride out for a train at

:09:36. > :09:42.Epsom. Good effort! Racing pedigree as well as royal pedigree.

:09:42. > :09:46.nearly! Who are we expecting to see accompany the Queen today? There is

:09:46. > :09:50.a full contingent of members of the Royal Family. Not the Duke and

:09:50. > :09:57.Duchess of Cambridge, apparently, although we understand the

:09:57. > :10:02.Middletons have a runner, trained by Hughie Morrison. They are going

:10:02. > :10:06.to see the Duke of York and his children, Sophie Wessex, Prince

:10:06. > :10:11.Edward, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince and Princess

:10:11. > :10:15.Michael of Kent. The only other people that will not be here are

:10:15. > :10:20.Prince Charles and Camilla. They might make a last-minute appearance,

:10:20. > :10:24.you never know. One of the great Derby Day traditions, the open-top

:10:24. > :10:33.double-decker bus, and those parts right on the rail are booked years

:10:33. > :10:43.in advance, it is a real prime position to being. The Queen is in

:10:43. > :10:46.

:10:46. > :10:50.the state review vehicle, and we We will get a very clear view with

:10:50. > :11:00.the enormous over sized windows and the great big back window as well,

:11:00. > :11:00.

:11:00. > :11:03.everyone getting a clear view are The cars coming through onto the

:11:03. > :11:07.course at Tattenham Corner, and they will come down nearly three

:11:07. > :11:11.furlongs of the course, in front of the crowds, and the Queen will then

:11:11. > :11:14.alight just by the winner's enclosure, walk through the

:11:14. > :11:19.grandstand and take the lift up to the Royal Box. Look at the people

:11:19. > :11:23.running along the infield, trying to keep up! I was asking Willie

:11:23. > :11:27.Carson why the Queen could not come in a carriage, and he said it was

:11:27. > :11:32.too narrow. It does not look that narrow, but it is too narrow for

:11:32. > :11:35.the carriages. The Queen making absolutely sure that her driver

:11:35. > :11:40.stays away from the ground that will be used in the target. That

:11:40. > :11:44.might sound daft, but she will have said, do not go to the inside rail,

:11:44. > :11:49.do not mess up the cause ground. They are swinging wide around

:11:49. > :11:53.Tattenham Corner and coming down at a sedate pace. The Queen would

:11:53. > :12:03.never do anything to interfere with horse racing. She is so aware about

:12:03. > :12:05.

:12:05. > :12:10.So we have a full cavalcade there of seven cars in total. As Ingrid

:12:10. > :12:14.mentioned, in some of the others, the Duke of York, Princess Beatrice

:12:14. > :12:18.and Princess Eugenie, the Duke of Gloucester and the Duchess of

:12:18. > :12:25.Gloucester, Prince Michael of Kent, Princess Michael of Kent, and

:12:25. > :12:31.Princess Alexandra, the honourable lady. And the Queen is wearing, you

:12:31. > :12:40.can just get a flash there of the royal blue coat, and any that a

:12:40. > :12:43.white silk dress. There had is by Rachel Trevor Morgan, who makes

:12:43. > :12:47.many of the Queen's hat, five of which will be required for Royal

:12:47. > :12:51.Ascot, when we will see a royal procession of a different kind with

:12:51. > :12:55.the horse-drawn carriages. But a motorcade procession coming down

:12:55. > :12:58.the course here. The Queen is like all of us, she doesn't necessarily

:12:58. > :13:03.decide what she is going to wear until the day, because it is

:13:03. > :13:08.whether dependent. It is chilly today, there is quite a chill in

:13:08. > :13:12.the air, and the wind is coming down the course. It will be a tail

:13:12. > :13:18.wind for the horses. It will slow them down a bit. The dash will be

:13:18. > :13:25.run very quickly today, because of that following wind. A tail wind.

:13:25. > :13:29.Exactly, yes. It helps on a horse! One thing people love is being able

:13:30. > :13:36.to talk to the Queen about horses, and it is a great ice-breaker. As

:13:36. > :13:46.long as you know a little bit about them,... Did you tell them that you

:13:46. > :13:47.

:13:47. > :13:51.had ridden around Epsom? I have No, I have never told her that.

:13:51. > :13:55.Queen nearly always wears white gloves, waving at the clouds. The

:13:55. > :13:58.Duke of Edinburgh with a broad smile on his face. I'm sure they

:13:58. > :14:01.will appreciate the affection that's clearly coming across from

:14:01. > :14:06.the hundreds of thousands of people here today. I understand Her

:14:06. > :14:12.Majesty is really excited about today and she will be rooting for,

:14:12. > :14:19.I don't know the name to which horse in the Derby... Bonfire? She

:14:19. > :14:26.might be rooting for bon bongs as her racing adviser mansion the --

:14:26. > :14:33.rooting for Doncaster Rover, as her racing adviser manages the team who

:14:33. > :14:40.look after Bonfire. The Queen had a winner two days ago at Sandown?

:14:40. > :14:45.Carlton House, the first time he's won since last year. He's a classy

:14:45. > :14:54.horse and I think he will run in Group 1 races and give the Queen a

:14:54. > :15:01.lot of pleasure. She has a runner today, Set To Music at Haydock. I

:15:01. > :15:05.suspect the guests in the Royal Box will be tuned in to that. Do they

:15:05. > :15:10.show Haydock on television? Not on the BBC but the Queen will be able

:15:10. > :15:14.to have a look. Whistles and cheers ringing out as the Queen's car

:15:14. > :15:19.arrives at the bright red lollipop, the winning post here, the most

:15:19. > :15:28.valuable stick of wood in the world, as was once said, because the horse

:15:28. > :15:35.that passes that post in front propels himself to legendary status.

:15:35. > :15:45.The National anthem will be sung for the Queen by Katherine Jenkins,

:15:45. > :15:53.

:15:53. > :15:56.the multi-million album selling # God save our gracious Queen!

:15:56. > :16:03.# Long live our noble Queen! # God save the Queen!

:16:04. > :16:13.# Send her victorious. # Happy and glorious.

:16:14. > :16:20.

:16:21. > :16:30.# Long to reign over us. # God save the Queen. #

:16:30. > :16:35.CHEERING Katherine Jenkins hitting all the

:16:35. > :16:39.right notes. What a magnificent rendition of the National anthem.

:16:39. > :16:45.The green now greet by the Lord Lieutenant of Surrey. She will be

:16:45. > :16:50.meeting Anthony Cane as well, the chairman of Epsom downs racecourse

:16:50. > :16:55.and a selected group of people invited into the line-up to greet

:16:55. > :17:02.the Queen. We can see the Duke of York in the foreground of our

:17:02. > :17:07.picture, with his daughters, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

:17:07. > :17:12.The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh having a chat with everybody. On

:17:12. > :17:16.Derby Day so easy, because what do you think will win the Derby is the

:17:16. > :17:24.obvious question. Yes, there is plenty to talk about stkphrfpblt

:17:24. > :17:33.that is Anthony Cane, the chairman of Epsom. You can get a full look

:17:33. > :17:39.there at the royal Bluecoat and the hat. The wonderful colour to wear,

:17:39. > :17:47.an appropriate colour to wear. flower blue I was going to say.

:17:47. > :17:50.Royal blue isn't it? I'm sure you are right. The Queen and the Duke

:17:50. > :17:55.of Edinburgh will make their way through the tunnel under the

:17:55. > :18:00.Grandstand which has a glass wall in the side of it, looks into the

:18:00. > :18:05.weighing room. There'll be jockeys lined up to get their own personal

:18:05. > :18:10.view of the Queen. The Queen always has the winning jockey doesn't she

:18:10. > :18:16.to join her in the Royal Box after the Derby, is that correct? Yes, he

:18:16. > :18:22.is invited to meet her to have a drink and how he won this Derby, or

:18:22. > :18:26.this year how she won the Derby if Hayley Turner is successful. That's

:18:26. > :18:30.the opening, as it were, the official opening to Derby Day 2012,

:18:30. > :18:36.with the Royal Procession. Ingrid, how lovely it is to see the Queen

:18:36. > :18:40.here looking so relaxed and for a day we know she will enjoy so much.

:18:40. > :18:47.This will obviously be the highlight perhaps of her weekend.

:18:47. > :18:50.Tomorrow the river Pageant is excitinging I fear about the

:18:50. > :18:56.weather tomorrow but the Queen, I've heard, is really looking

:18:56. > :18:59.forward to this. She is a very humble person. She is very touched

:18:59. > :19:03.when people show such love and affection for her. There was plenty

:19:03. > :19:07.of that on display from the crowds here at Epsom. A chance now for the

:19:07. > :19:12.Queen and the rest of us to focus on the sporting day ahead, the

:19:12. > :19:15.highlight of course being the Derby at 4 o'clock.

:19:15. > :19:18.Racing is the Queen's private passion. We'll be speaking to those

:19:19. > :19:27.who know all about her interest and her knowledge of this extraordinary

:19:27. > :19:30.sport. It's a family affair for Adrian and

:19:31. > :19:35.Joseph O'Brien, who could become the first ever father and son to

:19:35. > :19:39.triumph in the Derby. Camelot is a red hot favourite and we'll be

:19:39. > :19:48.asking, what makes the perfect Derby horse? And trying to find the

:19:48. > :19:57.answer. Derby drama from last year, Carlton House started favourite. He

:19:57. > :20:01.finished third. And set off the fireworks for the

:20:02. > :20:11.Baldings, if Bonfire wins. My brother trains him at the place

:20:12. > :20:39.

:20:39. > :20:44.where I grew up. Katherine Jenkins, having performed

:20:44. > :20:47.the national anthem, having her photograph taken by the many media

:20:47. > :20:51.photographers. She looks magnificent if a little cold in

:20:51. > :20:57.that dress. She looks very fine and that really was a wonderful way to

:20:57. > :21:04.start the day. I'm joined as always by a four-times Derby-winning

:21:04. > :21:10.jockey, Willie son. What a day this is. Good afternoon everyone. Her

:21:10. > :21:15.Majesty, we have got her presence today, and it is the start of

:21:15. > :21:18.celebrations for the Diamond Jubilee. Have a party! Will have a

:21:18. > :21:25.party and people will particularly have a party if you tell them

:21:25. > :21:32.what's going win the Derby. We only have a field of nine, a small field,

:21:32. > :21:37.and an odds-on favourite in Camelot. He is the favourite. When people

:21:37. > :21:42.say what will win the Derby, I say it is a penalty kick, and some

:21:42. > :21:46.penalty kicks do miss. The biggest danger to him is himself. His

:21:47. > :21:53.stable companion did well at Chester. Astrology. Yes, Astrology.

:21:53. > :22:00.He did well. And Bonfire, he won one of the best-regarded trials of

:22:00. > :22:06.the Derby. The Balding family have got all the strength behind Bonfire.

:22:06. > :22:13.So, basically, that's all we can must per up against him. They are

:22:13. > :22:19.very nice colts but there's only nine and you have to go back to

:22:19. > :22:24.1907 - that long ago, since there was this small a field.

:22:24. > :22:31.smallest field in 105 years. last time an odds-on favourite was

:22:31. > :22:35.beaten was possibly The Minstrel. He was the shortest priced. A few

:22:35. > :22:39.odds-on favourites have been beaten since then. Sheriff Hutton was the

:22:40. > :22:42.last odds-on favourite to win. It is amazing how poor the record is

:22:42. > :22:47.of odds-on favourites in the racement it is a challenge you

:22:47. > :22:52.can't really prepare for. You can only find out if your horse handles

:22:52. > :22:55.it on the day. That's why in the past the ones that have seemed

:22:55. > :23:00.unbeatable have become fragile. All of this will become clear at 4

:23:00. > :23:10.o'clock. Let's take you through some to which horses that in this 2

:23:17. > :23:21.33rd running of the Derby could be The 2012 Investec Derby build-up

:23:21. > :23:27.has been dominated by one horse. Camelot is long odds-on to become

:23:27. > :23:32.the 37th horse to do the Derby double with his 19-year-old jockey

:23:32. > :23:41.quietly confident he will handle Epsom's chafplgts Downhill it is

:23:41. > :23:49.tight and you need a -- challenges. Downhill it is tight. From the

:23:49. > :23:55.start we've been talking him up. It's over to him now. Talk is cheap.

:23:55. > :24:02.Andrew Balding's Bonfire traimed at the same clings clear yard as the

:24:02. > :24:07.electedry -- trained at the same yard as Mill Reef. He has speed.

:24:07. > :24:11.Hopefully he's got stamina. We won't find that out until the day.

:24:11. > :24:18.He wasn't stopping at York. He seems to have everything you need.

:24:18. > :24:23.He is well balanced. John Gosden won the Derby 15 years ago with

:24:23. > :24:29.Benny The Dip. This year he sends out fair way Stakes winner Thought

:24:29. > :24:33.Worthy. He is a grand horse with a super attitude. He's only run three

:24:33. > :24:37.times in his life. We are happy with him. Have no illusions about

:24:37. > :24:44.the fact that the favourite is an exceptional horse, which is why we

:24:44. > :24:50.have a field of nine quality horses. For the powerful Yorkshire stable

:24:50. > :24:57.of Richard Fahey Mickdaam is a first Derby representative. It's

:24:57. > :25:01.been a lucky meeting for me. We've run races before on Derby Day. To

:25:01. > :25:07.be involved on the day is great. He is entitled to be here. He's won

:25:07. > :25:12.over the trip. We'll see what happens. Another first-timer is

:25:12. > :25:17.Hayley Turner, who becomes only the second woman to ride in the Derby,

:25:17. > :25:21.aboard Cavaleiro. For any jockey in the weighing room it is a thrill to

:25:21. > :25:25.ride in the race. He's in good form. I worked him at Lingfield and he

:25:25. > :25:33.felt really good. I think he's going to run point of view his

:25:33. > :25:37.racing. I'm hoping for a pace. Fingers crossed. It is a huge

:25:37. > :25:42.moment for the jockeys and for so many of them a first chance to ride

:25:42. > :25:47.in the Derby, a race which you won four times. You were this year the

:25:47. > :25:54.official guest of honour? Isn't that exciting. Yep, guest of honour.

:25:54. > :25:58.What do you have to do? I shake a few hands, give a few interviews.

:25:58. > :26:03.You don't get anything for it. It is just glory. Did you not even get

:26:03. > :26:08.a nice lunch? Well... No, lunch is happening right now. Shy be up

:26:08. > :26:12.there having a good time, but I've come and I'm in your living rooms

:26:12. > :26:16.and obviously I hope you appreciate that. I am missing lunch just to be

:26:16. > :26:19.with you. That's very good of you. I appreciate the fact that you are

:26:19. > :26:27.here. Let's see some of your moments of triumph in the Derby.

:26:27. > :26:37.The people should remember what an incredible jockey you were. Lucky.

:26:37. > :26:37.

:26:37. > :26:47.This is the 200th Derby. 1979. He beat Dick in's Him. He was the best

:26:47. > :26:48.

:26:48. > :26:53.on the day. You can see him nodding there and there we have a super

:26:53. > :26:59.racehorse. Speed. He could have won from six furlongs to a mile-and-a-

:26:59. > :27:05.half. That was me saying well done to him. This was a stunning ride.

:27:05. > :27:10.You came from well back in the field. The old man's route. On the

:27:10. > :27:15.inside all the way down to Tattenham Corner. I had the rail to

:27:15. > :27:21.see me home. He was a good Derby winner. I remember that year, it

:27:21. > :27:26.was one of the first years I was working for the BBC. My job was to

:27:26. > :27:31.interview the winning Jocky. I came towards him with a microphone and

:27:31. > :27:35.he screamed at me. There was a lot of pressure on me that day.

:27:35. > :27:39.were brilliant on all four occasions. Thank you very much.

:27:39. > :27:45.You're welcome. We have another superstar here and she just sang

:27:45. > :27:52.the National anthem. Katherine Jenkins with Sonali. It must feel

:27:52. > :27:57.good to be back on Britain and on a day like this. It is incredible. To

:27:57. > :28:00.be home on a weekend like this, it is such a huge honour to be here.

:28:00. > :28:04.I'm having an amazing day, thank you. What was your reaction when

:28:04. > :28:11.you were asked to sing the National anthem for the Queen here at the

:28:11. > :28:15.Derby? The first day of her Jubilee weekend. For me it is such a huge

:28:15. > :28:20.honour. Everything is being kicked off here today. It is the first

:28:20. > :28:24.time that the National anthem has been sung to the Queen in these

:28:24. > :28:28.celebrations. Part of me hesitated and I would have stood in the rain

:28:28. > :28:32.and sung for her. It was an amazing moment, thank you. What are you

:28:32. > :28:40.doing with the rest of the holiday weekend? Have you got your own

:28:40. > :28:44.bunting out? Yes, and because I haven't seen mime Fayely -- seen my

:28:44. > :28:49.family for a while we'll be celebrating. Can you reveal

:28:49. > :28:52.anything to us about the Olympics? I am involved but I can't say in

:28:52. > :28:57.what way. Everyone will know about it shortly. I feel so proud we have

:28:57. > :29:04.this and the Olympics coming. It is a great time for Britain. Enjoy the

:29:04. > :29:10.rest of your day. Thank you, and to you. The fabulous Katherine Jenkins.

:29:10. > :29:13.She is so approachable and friendly as well as being talented. The

:29:14. > :29:18.newest of the grandstands here at Epsom. That's sold out. The Queen's

:29:18. > :29:23.stand is sold out as well. All of those who've dressed up in their

:29:23. > :29:27.finery are here to enjoy the Derby. The betting ring is teeming with

:29:28. > :29:33.people. All having bets in the supports races and piling on to

:29:33. > :29:37.whatever is their fancy in the Investec Derby. We have a very

:29:37. > :29:47.short price, odds-on favourite in Camelot. What sums are being bet

:29:47. > :29:47.

:29:47. > :29:50.and what can we expect from the Good to see you, you have just got

:29:50. > :29:58.that Corinne Bach your face after Reading coming back into the

:29:58. > :30:03.We will be happier when we beat Everton! What about today's racing?

:30:03. > :30:07.Absolutely fantastic, it is the best day of the whole year. I love

:30:07. > :30:14.the Derby, hopefully we will see a wonderful horse. One to that the

:30:14. > :30:19.supporting card? It is very tricky. There are a lot of handicaps. Spoke

:30:19. > :30:24.To Carlo, I saw him at Newmarket, he finished a long way clear of the

:30:24. > :30:29.others, I think he will run well, a decent bet today. The dash is a

:30:29. > :30:34.great race, the draw is going to be important. I have got a sneaking

:30:34. > :30:39.feeling for Jamesway, he has run in this race a few times. If you get

:30:39. > :30:43.the breaks, he will go very well. The Derby itself, what you make are

:30:43. > :30:47.that? Hopefully we will see a wonderful horse Camelot was

:30:47. > :30:51.brilliant at the Guineas, but he was not quite trained for that day.

:30:51. > :30:55.I think he will be a lot better today than he was that day. I do

:30:55. > :31:00.not think the trip will be a problem. I nailed my colours to

:31:00. > :31:04.Bonfire, and I am sticking with him, but I'm very wary of Camelot. Is

:31:04. > :31:11.something special. What will Clare Balding be like if Bonfire wins?

:31:11. > :31:18.have had a spread bet on the tears, but I cannot tell you how much!

:31:18. > :31:22.They were offering 66-1 for me to kiss you, Willie, a great price, we

:31:22. > :31:27.will do it right now! Out on the course is where we find Rishi

:31:27. > :31:31.Persad. Today's Investec Derby is expected to be a significant test

:31:31. > :31:37.of stamina, sometimes ensign is mistakenly thought to be a sharp

:31:37. > :31:41.test over a mile and a half, but the standard time for an average

:31:41. > :31:46.horse over the distance is actually slower than racecourses at the

:31:46. > :31:50.Curragh, York and Newmarket. It is expected to be a test of stamina,

:31:50. > :31:54.so the horses will have to see this out, the best Stayers will win. One

:31:54. > :31:59.factor that plays an important part is the camber, this bloke in the

:31:59. > :32:03.home straight where tired horses drift over towards the inside in a

:32:03. > :32:07.knackered sort of way. They roll over to find you, make. If somebody

:32:07. > :32:11.said to you, we will have the world's greatest horse race over a

:32:11. > :32:15.mile and a half, and we will have it at Epsom, if this track had not

:32:15. > :32:20.been here, you would say they were bonkers. It is a true test of the

:32:20. > :32:24.thoroughbreds. It is indeed, today's race looks like it will be

:32:24. > :32:29.run on fast ground. They put three millimetres of water on the course

:32:29. > :32:35.overnight. There was an insignificant reign. What you make

:32:35. > :32:39.our conditions? Good to firm, a level playing-field for everyone.

:32:39. > :32:45.It is not going to suit everyone, but Camelot will be happy enough.

:32:45. > :32:49.Do you think he will win? Yes. going to go for Astrology. The only

:32:49. > :32:54.problem in flat races with a field this small his tactical, who is

:32:54. > :32:58.going to make the running? Where will Camelot said? It depends on

:32:58. > :33:02.the pace, doesn't it? If the pace is not strong enough, it becomes

:33:02. > :33:08.very tactical. Like yesterday in the Oaks, they were climbing all

:33:08. > :33:13.over each other. If they do not go fast enough, he will have to look

:33:13. > :33:17.out. He might get trapped, he might not be able to get out when he

:33:17. > :33:22.wants to. But they have got another runner in the race, and they have

:33:22. > :33:27.got control of the race. Ryan Moore will be told what to do, but I

:33:27. > :33:32.would imagine, I don't know, but I would imagine he will be told to go

:33:32. > :33:37.out there and just let his horse used his stride and go a nice

:33:37. > :33:41.gallop and let him go, a nice rhythm, let it keep on increasing,

:33:41. > :33:45.and that will help the other horse as well. It is the right way for

:33:45. > :33:50.Astrology to be ridden as well, because that is how he was ridden

:33:50. > :33:54.at Chester. You never know, Astrology might not get caught.

:33:54. > :34:00.agree, that could be the danger. Thought Worthy will be prominent as

:34:00. > :34:04.well, Bonfire will be up in the first three or four. He might stay.

:34:04. > :34:09.The sharpest acceleration has been from Main Sequence in winning the

:34:09. > :34:13.Lingfield Derby Trial. Ted Durcan is with Ian Bartlett. Good

:34:13. > :34:18.afternoon, everybody. Your 5th Derby ride, but the best one you

:34:18. > :34:23.have had a chance on so far. Absolutely, a lovely horse on the

:34:23. > :34:28.way up. He has to pick up the Anne Davies afternoon, but he has done

:34:28. > :34:32.everything we have asked of him up until now. We know exactly where we

:34:32. > :34:37.are within, it is a big stage, a lovely horse, lovely ride, I am

:34:37. > :34:41.excited, let's hope we had some luck and let's hope it is a strong

:34:41. > :34:46.race, and even raised with no excuses on behalf of anyone. Yeah,

:34:46. > :34:50.exciting. He must have improved very quickly this year, he started

:34:50. > :34:57.in the handicap, he won the Lingfield Derby Trial, has improved

:34:57. > :35:02.since then? He has, but in the mornings he is the most lazy horse.

:35:02. > :35:06.Is not a flashy horse at all. He rarely shows you anything. But he

:35:06. > :35:11.has strengthened up a lot, he is great mentally, and each ran he has

:35:11. > :35:17.sharpened up and hardened up a bit. Look, this is like a stack up, we

:35:17. > :35:24.are hopeful. A good gallop would suit you, you have no doubts about

:35:24. > :35:27.him staying. He is a horse that has been held up in his races. He likes

:35:27. > :35:31.to warming to it slowly. I would hope that it is an even run race.

:35:31. > :35:37.Best of luck. Thank you very much, thank you.

:35:37. > :35:47.A lovely guy, Ted Durcan, a big chance for him on the horse, Main

:35:47. > :35:55.

:35:55. > :35:59.the winner of the Dante Stakes, a very good trial for the Derby.

:35:59. > :36:04.Jimmy Fortune rides them. Joseph O'Brien, 19 years old, bidding to

:36:04. > :36:09.become the 4th teenager to win the race after Lester Piggott, Walter

:36:09. > :36:13.Swinburn and Mickael Barzalona. He rides Camelot for Aidan O'Brien,

:36:13. > :36:19.the 2000 Guineas winner. The last 2000 Guineas winner to win here was

:36:19. > :36:22.Sea The Stars. Hayley Turner's first ride in the big race on

:36:22. > :36:28.Cavaleiro. Main Sequence and Ted Durcan from David Lanigan, the

:36:28. > :36:31.assistant trainer to Henry Cecil, now training in his own right.

:36:31. > :36:37.Mickdaam gives Paul Hanagan, the champion jockey, his first ever

:36:37. > :36:40.Derby ride for Richard Fahey. We then have Minimise Risk, also

:36:40. > :36:44.trained by Andrew Balding, a beautiful horse did not handle the

:36:44. > :36:48.ground at Chester last time. It will be a different affair on

:36:48. > :36:52.faster ground here. Jamie Spencer riding for his Retained owner.

:36:52. > :36:58.Rugged Cross, a rare Derby runner for Henry Candy, he does not put

:36:58. > :37:05.many horses in his race. Thought were the could be a St Leger horse,

:37:05. > :37:09.you never know. -- Thought Worthy, a lovely, lovely horse trained by

:37:09. > :37:14.John Gosden and ridden by William Buick. That is the field, small but

:37:14. > :37:24.select, and this is the betting. Camelot is a very strong favourite

:37:24. > :37:37.

:37:37. > :37:40.One of the most interested observers in the paddock beforehand

:37:40. > :37:43.will be Her Majesty the Queen, because there is nothing she enjoys

:37:43. > :37:48.more, if she owns one of the runners, but looking at other

:37:48. > :37:52.beautifully bred horses, the breeding of horses is part science

:37:52. > :37:57.and part art, a huge intellectual challenge follows to try to mix the

:37:57. > :37:59.right bloodlines, and that is part of the reason that this sport is so

:37:59. > :38:09.popular with the Royal Family and a particular passion for Her Majesty

:38:09. > :38:11.

:38:12. > :38:15.I think a love of racing is so good for the sport generally. You cannot

:38:15. > :38:19.underestimate the value of her support for horseracing.

:38:20. > :38:24.Majesty the Queen making her way to the attic... It is part of the

:38:24. > :38:28.tradition, it brings great glamour to the sport, and also she is a

:38:28. > :38:33.very knowledgeable Queen about racing itself. It is a really right

:38:33. > :38:39.royal occasion. It is an honour to have her involved, and we are all

:38:39. > :38:46.very lucky that she has got a strong passion for it. Generous!

:38:46. > :38:53.The Queen. I had seen her chat to stable lads and girls like her best

:38:53. > :38:56.friend. It is an honour for me to ride for her, and it is just good

:38:56. > :39:01.for racing in general that he has such a keen interest. And long may

:39:01. > :39:09.it last. People are truly appreciative of what she has done

:39:09. > :39:17.and continues to do. Generous is the winner! My horse! This is the

:39:17. > :39:23.lovely thing about racing, horses bring us all together. And she, of

:39:23. > :39:31.course, has been an enormous help in that way, and I think everyone

:39:31. > :39:38.involved in racing is just so grateful that she loves it so much.

:39:38. > :39:42.He was going to cry there! My dad getting a bit emotional there! This

:39:42. > :39:45.stand was opened by Her Majesty 20 years ago, and that is the royal

:39:45. > :39:50.balcony, the royal party enjoying their lunch at the moment, but we

:39:50. > :39:57.are almost up and running because our first race is due are very

:39:57. > :40:02.shortly, the Diamond Jubilee Great atmosphere building up here

:40:02. > :40:07.at the top of the stand. I can look out over the downs, and it is a

:40:07. > :40:11.wonderful sight. The runners going to pose for our first race, four of

:40:11. > :40:15.the jockeys who are in the Derby are in this race, and it will be

:40:15. > :40:25.good for them to get a feel of the atmosphere, the day and the ground.

:40:25. > :40:25.

:40:25. > :41:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:41:06. > :41:15.The manners and riders... -- 10. So this opening Diamond Jubilee

:41:16. > :41:34.

:41:34. > :41:41.Stakes, your favourite is Grandeur and earlier, 17-2 now. -- Tom sea

:41:41. > :41:45.Cantering down to the start with Hayley Turner on board, a big day

:41:45. > :41:48.with Cavaleiro still to come and for Andrew Balding, who has Bonfire

:41:48. > :41:52.and Minimise Risk in the Derby. He had a double here yesterday, the

:41:52. > :41:59.horses are in great form, and this is one who has plenty of promise

:41:59. > :42:05.and has form with Main Sequence, pretty unlucky to bump into him, to

:42:05. > :42:08.be honest, last season. He has been third over a mile-and-a-quarter on

:42:08. > :42:15.his reappearance at Newmarket on soft ground. Different conditions

:42:15. > :42:20.today, but he will have a decent enough chance, Willie. He is

:42:20. > :42:27.progressing, improving overtime, and he just needs to improve a

:42:27. > :42:32.little bit more. Basically, he has been running so well, but obviously

:42:32. > :42:37.your brother has got him really sharp for today, is that correct?

:42:37. > :42:43.would hope so. A big team of people, the owners, will be cheering on

:42:43. > :42:48.Open Water. He will run better than he has done before. Well, he has

:42:48. > :42:52.run pretty well before, but anyway, this is the big danger, Grandeur,

:42:52. > :42:58.William Buick on board, an impressive winner on his first

:42:58. > :43:02.attempt at Goodwood last time. he won at Goodwood last time,

:43:02. > :43:06.obviously another horse that is going forwards, carrying nine-stone

:43:06. > :43:11.three today. You would have to think that he would be a horse that

:43:11. > :43:15.has got a very big chance, and all the punters actually thinks so,

:43:15. > :43:22.because he is the favourite. Do you think the draw has any

:43:22. > :43:26.significance? Grandeur at a disadvantage in 13? Absolutely, on

:43:26. > :43:30.the outside. Put it this way, you have to go and work, use up petrol

:43:30. > :43:36.to get a good position, and on his racecourse you do not want to be

:43:36. > :43:41.going around three and four wide it all away. He would be preferably

:43:41. > :43:45.one of two off the inside rail, and if you are drawn on the inside, you

:43:45. > :43:51.jump out and you can just sit there and say petrol, you know, save

:43:51. > :43:56.energy, whereas on the outside you use it up. Let's have a look at a

:43:56. > :44:03.horse right in the middle, Wrotham Heath, trained by Henry Cecil, who

:44:03. > :44:08.has had Derby winners on four different occasions. Tom Queally,

:44:08. > :44:14.the same colours, the same jockey, the same train as Frankel. This is

:44:14. > :44:20.a horse that can be fairly keen, but good form, finishing second in

:44:20. > :44:27.the Dante after Bonfire. Yes, he has got very good form, he is a

:44:27. > :44:34.horse that has got to be settled. Just sweating between his hind legs,

:44:34. > :44:39.and it is not a warm day today. is a day when horses should not be

:44:39. > :44:43.sweating, there is a very chilly wind. That is Fennell Bay going

:44:43. > :44:53.forwards into stall number one. Fennell Bay representing the Mark

:44:53. > :44:57.

:44:57. > :45:05.Johnston team, used to be with favourite at 7-2.

:45:05. > :45:09.Spoke To Carlo is named after the guy who looks after the hospitality

:45:09. > :45:18.in the suite, because he is called Carlo.

:45:18. > :45:24.We have a decent-sized field. Two non-runners. 11 runners in total.

:45:24. > :45:28.Let's join Jim. There is Ryan Moore on Mister Music.

:45:28. > :45:36.He will be riding Astrology later on in the Derby.

:45:36. > :45:41.He won it two years ago on Workforce. The atmosphere is

:45:41. > :45:45.building here. The tension is building. A great scene across the

:45:45. > :45:55.Downs. They are set and ready for the Diamond Jubilee Handicap, a

:45:55. > :45:55.

:45:55. > :46:05.mile and a quarter. They stand... Spoke spoing is restless in six.

:46:05. > :46:06.

:46:06. > :46:10.-- Spoke To Carlo is restless in six.

:46:10. > :46:17.They're off! In the centre first away position very quickly into

:46:17. > :46:21.surprise and Fennell Bay was smartly away. Open Water vying for

:46:21. > :46:25.the early lead with The Giving Tree in the orange cap and Fennell Bay,

:46:25. > :46:32.who is holding the inside rail. A line of three. The pace is furious.

:46:32. > :46:37.In behind them in fourth is Position followed by Entifaadha.

:46:38. > :46:42.The noseband and black cap from Wrotham Heath. Back is Grandeur.

:46:42. > :46:46.They are followed by Spoke To Carlo on the inside of runners. Well back

:46:46. > :46:52.is Blades Lad, who is out the back, in company with Star Date. Giving

:46:52. > :46:56.them a start is Mister Music. Downhill to Tattenham Corner. The

:46:56. > :47:04.leader is Open Water. Out in front bay length or so to in second place

:47:04. > :47:07.The Giving Tree. Tucked behind them is Fennell Bay. Then Position and

:47:08. > :47:12.then Entifaadha. They are in advance of Wrotham Heath. Further

:47:12. > :47:18.back is Spoke To Carlo on the inside rail. Eight lengths off the

:47:18. > :47:22.lead from Grandeur. Back in the field and trying to pull is Star

:47:22. > :47:26.Date, from Blades Lad and Mister Music. Racing down to Tattenham

:47:26. > :47:30.Corner and the leader is still Open Water. Open Water bidding to make

:47:30. > :47:35.every yard here by three parts. On the outside of The Giving Tree and

:47:35. > :47:41.in third tucked away behind them is Fennell Bay, followed by Wrotham

:47:41. > :47:45.Heath. There's a faller! It is Star Date. Star Date and Darren Egan is

:47:45. > :47:55.on the floor. They've got just over two furlongs to travel. The leader

:47:55. > :47:59.on the -- the leader is Open Water. On the nearside in the pink cap and

:47:59. > :48:03.then Spoke To Carlo. They race with a furlong left. Wrotham Heath is in

:48:03. > :48:07.the lead from Open Water. Spoke To Carlo and Grandeur down the outside.

:48:07. > :48:12.It is Wrotham Heath trying to hold on. Wrotham Heath just the leader.

:48:12. > :48:16.Grandeur coming at him. Wrotham Heath a neck in front. He just

:48:16. > :48:23.holds on to beat Grandeur. In third is Spoke To Carlo, followed in

:48:23. > :48:27.fourth by Open Water and then a gap to Fennell Bay. Further back is

:48:27. > :48:34.Blades Lad followed by The Giving Tree and then Position, Entifaadha,

:48:35. > :48:39.then Mister Music. The riderless Star Date is careering down the

:48:39. > :48:43.track. Appears to be OK, the horse. We'll have to check and see how

:48:43. > :48:51.Darren Egan is after that fall. The winner is number five, Wrotham

:48:51. > :49:01.Heath, ridden by Tom Queally and owned by Prince Abdulla. Second is

:49:01. > :49:01.

:49:01. > :49:07.Grandeur ridden by William Buick. Third is -- fourth is Open Water.

:49:08. > :49:14.Wrotham Heath got there by a head from Grandeur, who looked to be a

:49:14. > :49:19.danger. The jockey is still on the ground, I'm told. Darren Egan. A

:49:19. > :49:24.heavy fall. Spoke To Carlo in third. In fourth is Open Water, who was

:49:24. > :49:30.bidding to make every yard for Hayley Turner. A gap to Fennell Bay

:49:30. > :49:34.in fifth. A long, long gap to the others. The sixth looks like Mister

:49:34. > :49:41.Music, maybe just ahead of The Giving Tree. They are followed by

:49:41. > :49:46.Position. Still coming in at long intervals. Entifaadha. A strong

:49:46. > :49:52.gallop early. There is one more left to come. Wrotham Heath on the

:49:52. > :50:00.outside with the pink cap. The famous Khalid Abdullah colours, who

:50:00. > :50:06.have been carried to victory here on Derby Day on several occasions.

:50:07. > :50:11.Quest For Fame and Workforce are a couple who come to mind. A neck

:50:11. > :50:20.between second and third. The horse appears to be OK, Star Date.

:50:20. > :50:25.Trained by Gerrard Butler. 27.01 is the time. As you can see down the

:50:25. > :50:34.track, the ambulance attendants are with Darren Egan. The screens are

:50:34. > :50:39.up. This is not necessarily a sign that it is totally serious. It is

:50:39. > :50:44.obviously of some concern or much concern, but it is a safeguard. It

:50:44. > :50:49.is what they do automatically. To the protect them from the view of

:50:49. > :50:59.the public. The winner is Wrotham Heath, ridden by Queally Queen

:50:59. > :51:05.Mother. And Wrotham Heath, just a little reluctant, it is quite a

:51:05. > :51:10.scary winner's enclosure. Let's look at the reason that Star Date

:51:10. > :51:17.fell. We know the horse is alright and we hope very much that Darren

:51:17. > :51:23.Egan who rode him is. Willie, when horses are tight like this, if you

:51:23. > :51:28.clip heels you can come straight down. Oh! I don't know how he

:51:28. > :51:35.clipped heel there is but he must have done. He was in between two

:51:35. > :51:41.horses. That's unusual. It does look as though it was a clip of

:51:41. > :51:46.heels, but he must have clipped the horse's front leg, not behind. It

:51:46. > :51:54.looks like a clipped heel but this horse, the winner here, Wrotham

:51:54. > :51:59.Heath. He is settling beautifully. He gave him a lovely ride. Grandeur

:51:59. > :52:03.is trying to catch him but failing to do so. A tough performance from

:52:03. > :52:07.this horse, who clearly is going on to better things. Tom Queally is

:52:07. > :52:12.the man on board. I was saying to Tom what a brave

:52:12. > :52:15.performance. I thought Grandeur was going to pass you but he stuck his

:52:15. > :52:19.neck out. They were stacking up one by one to have a pop at him. In

:52:19. > :52:24.fairness to the horse he was strong in the line. I don't know whether

:52:24. > :52:31.this is the ideal place for him but he won well despite it. Do you

:52:31. > :52:37.think there'll be a radiation for him at Royal Ascot? -- A race for

:52:37. > :52:44.him at Royal Ascot? We'll see what Henry thinks. What are conditions

:52:44. > :52:52.like on the course? It is riding well. He did a good job. A quick

:52:52. > :52:56.word. We are speculating as to what race he may head for if he goes to

:52:56. > :53:02.Royal Ascot, Wrotham Heath. That's a good question. We talked about

:53:02. > :53:07.the group 3 mile and a quarter. I don't know. I think, Tom said he

:53:07. > :53:11.won despite the track, so he's got to improve a bit more to go from

:53:12. > :53:17.handicap to group racing. It's a nice idea. There is no way we can

:53:17. > :53:24.conduct an interview without asking the wellbeing of the mighty Frankel.

:53:24. > :53:30.He is in good form. He worked nicely this morning. Shane rode him.

:53:30. > :53:35.Very pleased. Seems happy. We'll see you on 9th June. Good to talk

:53:35. > :53:43.to you. There is the winner, Wrotham Heath.

:53:43. > :53:51.Tom Queally's 23rd winner of the season, is Sir Henry Cecil's 16th.

:53:51. > :53:57.Tom Queally coming back into the jockeys' room. Out on the track

:53:57. > :54:04.those screens are still erected. That's automatic procedure these

:54:04. > :54:13.days. We hope that Darren Egan is OK. We hope to get word of his

:54:13. > :54:17.condition as soon as possible. So, Wrotham Heath is the winner. As

:54:17. > :54:22.Clare said, quite a daunting, quite an unusual winner's enclosure in

:54:22. > :54:30.front of the stand. You see all those faces there. It will be even

:54:30. > :54:36.more packed when it comes to the big race at 4 o'clock.

:54:36. > :54:41.Let's check the result of the opening race of Investec Derby Day

:54:41. > :54:48.2012. Wrotham Heath wins at 5-1. Second

:54:48. > :54:52.was Grandeur, and third Spoke To Carlo. Let's look back at this mile

:54:52. > :55:00.and a quarter race, which is always a competitive and good affair.

:55:00. > :55:07.Plenty of future winners have come out of this. This is Sir Mark

:55:07. > :55:12.Prescott's first race of the season. Ryan Moore was squeezed out there

:55:13. > :55:19.in the yellow of stall ten. Not done any favours. From then on he

:55:19. > :55:25.always seemed to be struggling. then he fades out of the contest

:55:25. > :55:31.the last two furlongs. We'll look at a few horses to watch out for

:55:31. > :55:36.next time. The two which close strongly are the light blue and the

:55:36. > :55:40.red cap. I want tow watch what happens to Paul Hanagan's mount on

:55:40. > :55:49.the inside. The horse in front in the orange cap is drifting to the

:55:49. > :55:54.rails as he gets tired. Paul is squeezed out of it here. He has to

:55:54. > :56:00.snatch up and in the end his race is over. But up at the front end

:56:00. > :56:07.Grandeur and Wrotham Heath have fought a Titanic duel and Wrotham

:56:07. > :56:14.Heath had enough left in the tank to get him home. Open Water. All of

:56:14. > :56:18.these horses win races. Tom Queally was saying they all came at him but

:56:18. > :56:23.they are all responding. They are all going on the to handicap wins

:56:23. > :56:25.aren't they? Without a doubt. out for them at Ascot and Newmarket

:56:25. > :56:29.in the summer. There are plenty of win ers in that.

:56:29. > :56:33.The crowds here are enjoying the start of the Diamond Jubilee. It's

:56:33. > :56:39.a huge year this in Great Britain and for London, with the Olympics

:56:39. > :56:46.and the Paralympics coming up. The lomp torch has been visiting

:56:46. > :56:53.various -- Olympic torch has been visiting various racecourses.

:56:53. > :56:59.At Chester there were 25,000 people there and Zara Phillips has also

:56:59. > :57:03.been carrying the torch. It will be visiting close to you, so do check

:57:03. > :57:07.the BBC website to find out when it is coming to your town or home

:57:07. > :57:11.village. We shall continue to look ahead to the Investec Derby,

:57:11. > :57:18.because this year one of the most engage and impressive stories has

:57:18. > :57:23.been the progress of Camelot. What a responsibility for Joseph O'Brien,

:57:23. > :57:33.the 19-year-old son of Aidan O'Brien. On the far left is Seamie

:57:33. > :57:38.Heffernan, who yesterday won the Oaks for Aidan on Wa s. He is there

:57:38. > :57:42.to offer his advice. Is this a walking race? They are walking

:57:43. > :57:47.pretty fast aren't they? In the 2930 years that the Derby has been

:57:47. > :57:50.run, never before has a father trained the horse ridden by his son

:57:50. > :58:00.that's won the Derby. We could witness a moment of history at 4

:58:00. > :58:03.

:58:03. > :58:06.o'clock today. o'clock today.

:58:06. > :58:12.The first thing you see when you drive through the gates of

:58:12. > :58:18.Ballydoyle is this statue of Nijinksky, the horse that he is

:58:18. > :58:25.trying to emulate. For young Joseph O'Brien, he's trying to win his own

:58:25. > :58:30.legend. Three years ago you ran Coat Of Arms, now you've ridden

:58:30. > :58:35.three Guinea winners and now the Derby. If I take a step back

:58:35. > :58:38.sometimes, to realise how well things have gone and the position

:58:38. > :58:42.I'm in, there is always going to be plenty of people saying this, that

:58:42. > :58:46.and the other, but there is always a certain amount of pressure on

:58:46. > :58:52.anyone riding in any big race. I've been lucky that tsunami of those

:58:52. > :58:58.have paid off. Joseph has been reared from the time he was a baby

:58:59. > :59:03.like he's been here. It is, he's never known or done or seen

:59:03. > :59:13.anything else from the time he has been able to waufpblgt

:59:13. > :59:15.

:59:16. > :59:20.It is Father's Day at the Breeder's Cup.

:59:20. > :59:25.I've been lucky to ride with some of the best riders in the world. I

:59:25. > :59:29.have been working with them since I was very small. I big thanks to

:59:29. > :59:34.them. I don't think that anyone else could have been exposed to

:59:34. > :59:41.riding more than anyone than he has been at the age of 19.

:59:41. > :59:45.Last year, I never forget the shock when there was that win at the

:59:45. > :59:50.Irish guineas. The smile on your face? No words can describe the

:59:50. > :59:56.amount of satisfaction we get from that for us all. It bring it is all

:59:56. > :00:00.closer, I suppose. As a family you seem close. You won the Irish Cup

:00:00. > :00:04.you were there, when you won the guineas you were there, is it

:00:04. > :00:08.something that you celebrate together? That depends on Joseph.

:00:08. > :00:14.If he is doing a race the next day, it is normally a quiet one.

:00:14. > :00:18.What about dad? If I make an error it is my fault. I have to see what

:00:18. > :00:24.I have done wrong and try to lever let it happen again.

:00:24. > :00:29.I am not that critical of him. He is critical of himself, like from

:00:29. > :00:37.the time he has been very small, he tells me about how things are right

:00:37. > :00:40.or wrong. What about Anne-Marie? She probably

:00:40. > :00:49.worries more than I do, but that is natural.

:00:49. > :00:53.What about Nan? What does she say if you are beaten? Not a lot.

:00:53. > :00:59.Usually the silent treatment! COMMENTATOR: Camelot just in front.

:00:59. > :01:03.It is a desperate bid to the line. It is a win for Aidan O'Brien once

:01:03. > :01:08.again, ridden by his young son, Joseph O'Brien.

:01:09. > :01:14.How is it then for you, trainer of the Derby favourite, but also a

:01:14. > :01:18.jockey of one of the rides? It is an incredible feeling, but a

:01:18. > :01:22.feeling of gratitude that we are in the position to have the horse and

:01:22. > :01:25.that Joseph is hopefully going to be able to ride it.

:01:25. > :01:35.It is a race that everyone dreams of winning from the time that they

:01:35. > :01:36.

:01:36. > :01:40.can walk. It would be a dream come true.

:01:40. > :01:46.It's an old head on young, young shoulders. You can see there has

:01:46. > :01:51.they continue the fast-track walk around the course. You can see how

:01:51. > :01:57.tall Joseph f is, obviously pairing him down to minimum weight, it is a

:01:57. > :02:02.hard task, but so far, so good. How big is the responsibility carrying

:02:02. > :02:07.with Camelot now? He is so young. He reminds me of Lester Piggott. He

:02:07. > :02:12.just shuts everything out and gets the job done. He has, he did so

:02:12. > :02:17.with the win with St Nicholas Abbey. We will see him coming up in the

:02:17. > :02:23.race after next. It is sometimes worse for the people around, for

:02:23. > :02:29.his mother, brothers, sisters, what about wives of some of the older

:02:29. > :02:34.jockeys riding in the race? Jimmy Fortune's wife, Jan is now with

:02:34. > :02:41.Sonali Shah. I have the good fortune of being

:02:41. > :02:45.with the wife of Jimmy Fortune. Here is Jan and his two sons. We

:02:45. > :02:52.wand to -- want to know, what is it like being with the family of

:02:52. > :02:56.someone who is riding in the Derby? It is a very, very special day. We

:02:56. > :03:00.are delighted to be here. Can you watch the race? He will be

:03:00. > :03:06.fine. We will just watch the race and hope it works out.

:03:06. > :03:10.When you are at home and Jimmy has been in a race, when he calls you,

:03:10. > :03:16.do you know from the tone how it has gone? Definitely the tone. I

:03:16. > :03:21.say any winners, it is yes or no, but once he is home it is fine.

:03:21. > :03:25.Kieron, are you nervous watching your dad or proud? Nervous and

:03:25. > :03:31.proud. I can't imagine what he is feeling like at moment.

:03:31. > :03:34.You are excited for him? Yes, I am. It is a dream and it is kind of

:03:34. > :03:40.weird. How loud do you scream, Joe, when

:03:40. > :03:45.you dad is out there? Really loud. As loud as we can. Do you think

:03:45. > :03:51.that brings him a little bit of luck? It does, yes.

:03:51. > :03:55.Good luck to your dad later on. It is great talking to you. There is

:03:55. > :03:59.Jimmy watching them being bir viewed.

:03:59. > :04:04.-- interviewed. He is thinking, "Oh, no, what has she said?" We wish

:04:04. > :04:09.them well and hope that they have a terrific day out with the family. A

:04:09. > :04:16.great day to be here. So what does make the perfect jockey? What

:04:16. > :04:26.qualities do you need to come here and support the horse and be the

:04:26. > :04:41.

:04:41. > :04:47.best? What pandemics the perfect jockey? Someone that likes driving,

:04:47. > :04:51.someone that has no life, what so ever. Wait clean living, hard work,

:04:51. > :04:55.head down. Stay out of the nightclubs. Someone that is light,

:04:55. > :04:59.strong, with the right attitude for the job.

:04:59. > :05:04.White you need the balance, the knowledge, the feel, the hands, the

:05:04. > :05:12.coolness of the mind. You have to be as strong as you can, as fit as

:05:12. > :05:16.you can to win the title weight. Tactical awareness, nerves of steel.

:05:16. > :05:23.It is down to the jockey's confidence. Looking forward to

:05:23. > :05:26.getting better. Improving yourself. Obviously natural ability. You need

:05:27. > :05:30.an idea about the horses around you and to be aware of what is

:05:30. > :05:36.happening. You have to do your homework, to

:05:36. > :05:39.look at the races, to see what the pace is. You can prepare, but you

:05:39. > :05:44.never know what is going to go on out there.

:05:44. > :05:48.When the plan does not go to plan, then the plan B is the next one.

:05:48. > :05:53.The first job is to get on the horses, but you can have the best

:05:53. > :05:59.jockey in a Formula One race, but if he is driving a Formula Two car,

:05:59. > :06:03.it will not do him any good. Well, standing to my left are two

:06:03. > :06:08.jockeys, close to being perfect, William Buick and Jimmy Fortune. Of

:06:08. > :06:16.course, you are not perfect unless you have won the Derby. Bo both are

:06:16. > :06:21.looking foyer their first success. William Buick, John Gosden, does he

:06:21. > :06:26.give you every hope that your horse today can punt a big performance?

:06:26. > :06:31.think that he can. It has turned into a won-horse show with Camelot,

:06:31. > :06:35.but I think he will run his race, run well. I think that he will stay.

:06:35. > :06:40.Hopefully, he will be experienced enough to handle it all.

:06:40. > :06:44.Just, hopefully he will not be caught out by the undulations.

:06:44. > :06:49.This is your third ride in the Derby, are you feeling more

:06:49. > :06:54.comfortable in the scenario? fairness, it is my third ride, but

:06:54. > :06:58.I have had three good rides without being outstanding. It is nice to be

:06:58. > :07:03.able to ride in the Derby with a horse that has a worthy place in

:07:03. > :07:07.the race. Jimmy, your eighth ride in the

:07:07. > :07:12.Derby, is this horse one of the best you have come to sit on?

:07:12. > :07:15.Judging on so far, yes. A lot of people have made or

:07:15. > :07:19.brought his temperament into question, he can be playful, he can

:07:19. > :07:23.look a little awkward, on the way down to the start or before the

:07:23. > :07:27.race do you have concerns about that today? No, I don't. He is not

:07:27. > :07:32.a horse that worries. He does not get himself into a state. He does

:07:32. > :07:38.not sweat. He does nothing that gets himself too worked up. You

:07:38. > :07:43.know, everything he does he does as he is a little monkey, he is

:07:43. > :07:47.playful more than anything else. He is a Jack the Lad, but in no way is

:07:47. > :07:51.it going to affect his race in my opinion.

:07:51. > :08:00.A good friend of mine was saying that running the Derby here in

:08:00. > :08:04.Epsom in the middle of a fun fair is like running a 100m final in the

:08:04. > :08:08.Nottingham carnival? Is it difficult? It does get a lot of

:08:08. > :08:13.horses excited and upset, but that will not worry my guy.he would be

:08:13. > :08:19.the same if there were 100,000 people here or nobody here. That is

:08:19. > :08:25.not a concern on my part. Jimmy, William, the best of luck.

:08:25. > :08:30.Let's go to find Nick. I think he is in the jockey's weighing room.

:08:30. > :08:36.Here, it is like a jump jockey's changing room.

:08:36. > :08:41.There are the valets. There is Rhine Moore. He has a guide ride on

:08:41. > :08:46.Astrology. Colin O'Donoghue is very much one

:08:46. > :08:51.of the backroom team. He road Treasure Beach last year.

:08:51. > :08:56.He has a good ride this year for John Gosden, hoping to do better,

:08:56. > :09:00.he was unlucky yesterday. Paul Hanagan is there. Kieren Fallon, a

:09:00. > :09:05.three-time Derby winner with no ride in the race this year! And

:09:05. > :09:12.Jamie Spencer coming from the tearoom, he has a good ride in the

:09:12. > :09:17.Derby, Jamie, what do you reckon, nice to be in the race? Would not

:09:17. > :09:25.mind being on Camelot. There you go, Jamie Spencer,

:09:25. > :09:31.Camelot?! News on the jockey, Egan, there was a fall. The paramedics

:09:31. > :09:36.have loaded him into the ambulance, he is to be taken for further

:09:36. > :09:44.assessment. Willie Carson has gone to grab a word with Gerrard Butler.

:09:44. > :09:52.We hope that Darren Egan will be OK. It mean as slight delay to the next

:09:52. > :09:56.race. It is due off at 14.05pm. The jockeys have made their way through

:09:56. > :10:06.to talk to the trainers. It is the Investec Woodcote Stakes over six

:10:06. > :10:06.

:10:06. > :11:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:11:03. > :11:08.furlongs. leg up shortly. That is Euxton Hall.

:11:08. > :11:15.Paul Hanagan taking the ride on this two-year-old colt. William you

:11:15. > :11:21.went off to a have a chat with Gerrard Butler, what news of Darren

:11:21. > :11:25.Egan who had the fall? He is fine. He is breath lastless, what have

:11:25. > :11:30.you. He complained about his back. Basically, that is why it is taking

:11:30. > :11:34.a long time to put him on the ambulance. They would not take

:11:34. > :11:39.chances. He did complain about a pain in his back. So they were

:11:39. > :11:43.taking all precautions. The ambulance, actually, it went

:11:43. > :11:47.quickly past us. I would have thought that he is going to be, he

:11:47. > :11:51.is definitely going to be OK. Put it that way.

:11:51. > :11:57.An unusual situation in flat-racing, but a reminder of how dangerous

:11:57. > :12:01.this game is, you can never predict anything with horses. How the

:12:01. > :12:07.jockeys go out there, Susan Tsvangirai getting a leg-up on

:12:07. > :12:11.Heavy Metal. All of them knowing, that especially jump jockeys, but

:12:11. > :12:16.flat jockeys knowing that they cannot get full of themselves, my

:12:16. > :12:22.word, you are brought down to earth with a big bump.

:12:22. > :12:26.When you are a flat jockey, when you are riding00 or 300 horses a

:12:26. > :12:34.year you expect to get one or two falls per season.

:12:34. > :12:39.This team of Luke Morrison, they were teaming up yesterday. This is

:12:39. > :12:45.their horse, Liber in the Investec Woodcote Stakes.

:12:45. > :12:51.He won on Carlisle on fast ground five days ago.

:12:51. > :12:57.He veered right a furlong from home. With the crowds here, Luke must be

:12:57. > :13:02.on him properly to ensure he does not do that again.

:13:02. > :13:07.These are babies. They will have to come down this sharp hill and turn

:13:07. > :13:10.around Tattenham Corner at a rate of naughts. These young horses,

:13:11. > :13:20.some of them will be going up the hill, some of them coming down the

:13:21. > :13:22.

:13:22. > :13:29.hill. And there is a fill y. A ride for

:13:29. > :13:35.Kevin Ryan. She improved on her debut. This will be a hard race for

:13:35. > :13:45.her, but Kevin Ryan did win it in 2006. Let's hand over to Rishi

:13:45. > :13:53.

:13:53. > :14:01.cases of interference. There were a couple of bans. The rider of The

:14:01. > :14:11.Giving Tree got five days for his riding. Tom Queally and O'Neill

:14:11. > :14:30.

:14:30. > :14:37.-- picking up suspensions. Two jockeys picked up suspensions in

:14:37. > :14:42.the Oaks yesterday, Joseph O'Brien and Daryl Holland. It was a rough

:14:42. > :14:52.race. Nobody would make a nice gallop of it and everyone was

:14:52. > :14:54.

:14:54. > :15:04.jockeying for position. The rider of Maybe got into trouble. The

:15:04. > :15:06.

:15:06. > :15:12.Fugue was very much interfered with and the other filly... Co --

:15:13. > :15:16.coquette. The fugue was unlucky not to win the, as after two-and-a-half

:15:16. > :15:21.furlongs she was down on her knees. It might have made the difference

:15:21. > :15:25.between winning and losing. She ran great and finished third in the end.

:15:25. > :15:29.A very exciting filly for Lord Lloyd-Webber but unfortunately

:15:29. > :15:33.their chance in the Oaks was gone in a second because of interference.

:15:33. > :15:38.It is because this course is so difficult to ride and is so

:15:38. > :15:43.different to any other racecourse in the world, with its undulations

:15:43. > :15:51.and its steep left-hand bend, and the cam ber as well. And the

:15:51. > :15:56.atmosphere of Derby Day. -- the camber as well.

:15:56. > :15:59.It is not nice for the horse. used to have to ride through the

:16:00. > :16:04.crowds to get to the start. They've changed the start and the pull-up

:16:04. > :16:10.and put the road under the course. In the old days we used to go to

:16:10. > :16:18.the furlong marker, turn round and canter down the hill, past the

:16:18. > :16:23.winning post and pull up. We had to congregate. A policeman on a horse

:16:23. > :16:29.would lead us across the road and down to the Derby start. On the way

:16:29. > :16:35.Huw to go through a gipsy encampment, which had ponies

:16:35. > :16:39.tethered. They would be calling at your big strong colts. And kids

:16:39. > :16:44.playing football, riding bicycles. That's the route you used to take.

:16:44. > :16:50.Yes, down that hill in between all that lot, and you came up the other

:16:50. > :16:55.side. You can see the Derby start. Once you get to the start,

:16:55. > :17:00.certainly now, that is an oasis of calm. That's when a horse can

:17:00. > :17:05.settle down. But it's getting down there, sometimes you go, you are

:17:05. > :17:09.talking to your horse, you are whistling it's a him, trying to get

:17:09. > :17:13.him to keep his mind on you rather than the atmosphere. Epsom, you can

:17:13. > :17:17.see all the flags. Horses have never seen a flag before. They

:17:17. > :17:23.don't know what a flag is. They just don't know it is fluttering in

:17:23. > :17:28.the wind. They think it's there to frighten them. You have to keep

:17:28. > :17:32.reassuring your animal that it's OK. That's the bit that a trainer can't

:17:32. > :17:37.prepare form. He can get it fit and healthy and get it to run in the

:17:38. > :17:43.races but what will it do on the day? Aidan O'Brien has been walking

:17:43. > :17:47.the course and has joined Rishi. Aidan, if you put yourself in the

:17:47. > :17:51.shoes of Clerk of the Course, how would you describe conditions

:17:51. > :17:55.beautiful ground. A credit to Andrew and everybody. How do you

:17:55. > :18:01.think Camelot will enjoy what you just saw? It's lovely ground. It's

:18:01. > :18:06.a credit to Andrew and all the team. How is Camelot and how is

:18:06. > :18:10.Astrology? Fine, and seemed to travel over well. Describe how much

:18:10. > :18:16.confidence you have in Camelot today? Obviously every race is

:18:16. > :18:22.different and you are always hoping, you hope that everything goes well.

:18:22. > :18:27.We are happy to be here and looking forward to it. How nervous are you

:18:27. > :18:31.of having your son riding the favourite in the Derby? We are

:18:31. > :18:40.delighted for Joseph and it is a great day. We are looking forward

:18:40. > :18:44.to it. Good luck. Aidan O'Brien also has the hot

:18:44. > :18:50.favourite in the Coronation Cup. Having said that trainers can't

:18:50. > :18:59.prepare their horses for the noise and razzmatazz but you just said

:18:59. > :19:05.they can? Yes. Few years ago someone hired the brass band to

:19:05. > :19:09.come up to the gallops and play as his horse went cantering past.

:19:09. > :19:17.Brilliant. The two-year-old are loading up. This is a recorded shot

:19:17. > :19:23.of Euxton Hall. Paul Hanagan riding for Richard Fahey. He ran on good

:19:23. > :19:33.to soft ground at Haydock. The runner up looks strong. Euxton Hall

:19:33. > :19:40.

:19:40. > :19:49.is certain to go close. It is our The stalls at the top of the hill

:19:49. > :19:53.for the Woody Waller wood. There is Jamie Spencer. His mount rearing

:19:53. > :19:55.backwards, and missed the start as well. They're off and running. In

:19:55. > :19:59.the centre Lastchancelucas has gone on from Liber, who is showing

:19:59. > :20:04.plenty of pace. On the inside in the yellow cap of Chilworth Icon.

:20:04. > :20:08.Behind them Euxton Hall, who lost ground at that point. Quite sharply.

:20:08. > :20:12.He's dropped back to fourth on the inside. Out wider on the track is

:20:12. > :20:15.Heavy Metal. Our losing ground at the back is Scotland Forever.

:20:15. > :20:18.Almost tailed off going around Tattenham Corner. Not handling it.

:20:18. > :20:23.Second last is Surely Speightful. The leader is Liber on the outside

:20:23. > :20:31.by half a length or so to Lastchancelucas, on the rail. Out

:20:31. > :20:36.wider is Chilworth Icon and Heavy Metal. Euxton Hall has tone to the

:20:36. > :20:42.outside in the red colours. With two furlongs to go Liber is tackled

:20:42. > :20:45.by Chilworth Icon. Out wider is Heavy Metal. Euxton Hall is still

:20:45. > :20:50.battling away but his chance seems to have gone. Chilworth Icon moves

:20:50. > :20:54.up on the outside of Liber. Here's Heavy Metal putting in the giant

:20:54. > :20:58.strides. Chilworth Icon kicks again on the inside. They race towards

:20:58. > :21:03.the line, it is tight. Chilworth Icon might have scrambled home from

:21:03. > :21:06.Heavy Metal Third was Liber. A gap to Euxton Hall followed further

:21:06. > :21:12.back in the field by Lastchancelucas. Then Scotland

:21:12. > :21:16.Forever and Surely Speightful, who wasn't too clever at the start, has

:21:16. > :21:26.finished last. Let's look at them go to the line.

:21:26. > :21:28.

:21:28. > :21:35.This is tight. With a nose in front, this is tight... Chilworth Icon far

:21:35. > :21:41.side. Near side Heavy Metal. It is tight. Very tight indeed. Chilworth

:21:41. > :21:46.Icon and Heavy Metal. Here it comes now the result. First is Chilworth

:21:46. > :21:51.Icon. Second is number three, that's

:21:51. > :21:58.Heavy Metal. And third is number five, Liber. Fourth is number two,

:21:58. > :22:04.Euxton Hall. Very tight indeed. Chilworth Icon in the centre in the

:22:04. > :22:11.yellow cap. On the right you can see the light blue of Liber. And on

:22:11. > :22:19.the left in the red cap is Heavy Metal. He's just lost the whip

:22:19. > :22:23.there as they cross the line. Let's have another look. Silvestre De

:22:23. > :22:31.Sousa with his whip in the left hand. Martin Harley with the whip

:22:31. > :22:38.in the right hand. They come very close together. As you can see,

:22:38. > :22:42.they race towards the line and Chilworth Icon on the inside just

:22:42. > :22:49.get in and scrambling home. But it was a scramble.

:22:49. > :22:58.Martin Harley. What a week he's had. He and Mick Shan shone won the

:22:58. > :23:04.Irish 2000 Guineas. -- Mick Shannon. It was his first win outside

:23:04. > :23:14.Germany. He had won a few classics in Germany but never in England or

:23:14. > :23:15.

:23:15. > :23:22.Ireland, so they had a huge day. Chilworth Icon is by 60s Icon.

:23:22. > :23:30.is doing so well. Mick Shannon is promoting this stallion at his stud.

:23:31. > :23:35.He's doing so well with these icons. I would think he's possibly leading.

:23:35. > :23:44.I'm not certain thafpblt with this win win it possibly puts him at the

:23:44. > :23:52.top of leading first season stallion. -- I'm not certain about

:23:52. > :23:59.that but with this win it possibly puts him at the top with this

:24:00. > :24:05.season's stallion. He might have dropped his whip. He saw the trip

:24:05. > :24:09.out well. He got right to the line. Mick Shannon is such a strong

:24:09. > :24:14.competitor. He was on Football Focus earlier today. He loves it

:24:14. > :24:19.when he has a winner. He isn't afraid to celebrate. He's been

:24:19. > :24:24.kissing people in the winner's enclosure he will be choughed to

:24:24. > :24:34.bits with that. He will say, "The boy did good." The Duke of

:24:34. > :24:38.

:24:38. > :24:45.Edinburgh there and genie Caernarfon on the right. Prince

:24:45. > :24:50.Philip looking down on Mick Shannon in the winner's enclosure. Martin

:24:50. > :24:55.Harley, congratulation. Riding the crest of a way at the moment. The

:24:55. > :25:01.performance of this horse today, very touch. The step up was key.

:25:01. > :25:05.He's been run gg races over five. I said to the boss, this is a horse

:25:05. > :25:10.we might not get to the bottom of as he's always improving. I don't

:25:10. > :25:15.think the track suited him. Around the bend he ran a bit wide but he

:25:15. > :25:20.came on from that. He's a nice horse. What about the success in

:25:20. > :25:26.the Irish Guineas recently? It was unbelievable. The boss gave me

:25:26. > :25:31.great chance and to ride the winner today is amazing. We'll have a word

:25:31. > :25:36.with Mick Shannon if we can. Mick, I know you are organising

:25:36. > :25:46.photographs, just a brief word with you. We love seeing you celebrate

:25:46. > :25:50.

:25:50. > :25:55.these winners. Martin Harley... is an unbelievable story 60s Icon.

:25:56. > :26:03.Two runners in Stakes and he's been a winner and one's been placed. I'm

:26:03. > :26:07.delighted for everyone. The owners have been with me a few years. They

:26:07. > :26:12.have seven of them. All the Chilworth horses have great

:26:12. > :26:18.attitude. Yes. They are tough. He didn't handle the track but still

:26:18. > :26:21.won, so it is great. Off the back of the Irish Guineas success the

:26:21. > :26:26.stables are flying at the moment? They've been going well all year

:26:26. > :26:31.really. We thought we would have a squeak in this. I was thinking of

:26:31. > :26:36.the Chesham for him. But he's always had plenty of speed. I

:26:36. > :26:39.haven't made them. They have to have the ability. They can't win at

:26:39. > :26:44.places like this if they haven't got the ability. An amazing

:26:44. > :26:54.stallion. I can't believe it. hope your run will continue

:26:54. > :27:24.

:27:24. > :27:28.foresome time to come. Thank you Huge crowds and a very, and very

:27:28. > :27:33.much a patriotic feel to events here, the first official event of

:27:33. > :27:36.the of the Diamond Jubilee weekend. We have union flags everywhere, red

:27:36. > :27:41.white and blue and the most terrifically positive atmosphere.

:27:41. > :27:45.So many people possibly coming racing for the first time,

:27:45. > :27:53.certainly to Derby Day for the first time. What will they see

:27:53. > :28:02.before them? They may see a newly crowned name in racing. Standout

:28:02. > :28:06.names like See the stars or Generous or Mill Reef. Or people

:28:06. > :28:09.like Willie Carson. It is the race which every jockey, trainer and

:28:09. > :28:16.owner wants to win with the horse that can be crowned the best of his

:28:16. > :28:19.generation. It's the ultimate test of a horse.

:28:19. > :28:24.It needs speed and balance and a It needs speed and balance and a

:28:24. > :28:34.good mind. You can prepare but you never know what's going to happen

:28:34. > :29:11.

:29:11. > :29:15.the Derby by a neck! And Frankie the Derby by a neck! And Frankie

:29:15. > :29:22.Dettori has the Derby in his sights. It is something you never forget.

:29:22. > :29:28.Frankie Dettori, the Derby goes to him! He is going to win the guineas

:29:28. > :29:32.and Derby double! They enter the line! Pour Pour Moi! Michel

:29:32. > :29:38.Barzalona. He puts his hand in the air.

:29:38. > :29:43.The Derby is such an aiz maize -- amazing race. You have to have all

:29:43. > :29:49.of the ingredients to win. It is like being in a romer coaster,

:29:49. > :29:54.you just have to sit tight. Hayley, we were meant to chat. I will let

:29:54. > :29:59.the audience know our secret. We were meant to chat in a female

:30:00. > :30:05.jockey's changing room, but a boy is in there! So what is going on in

:30:05. > :30:14.there? There is not a lot of places to sit, that is where the boys do

:30:14. > :30:19.their physio. So... I see you've been speaking on Twitter to Wayne

:30:19. > :30:24.Rooney? I have had a lot of people tweeting me back for the Derby, so

:30:24. > :30:30.it is exciting. What did you tweet back? I said

:30:30. > :30:34.thank you! What you should remind him is that he has never seen a

:30:34. > :30:39.crowd like this. This is such an amazing atmosphere.

:30:39. > :30:43.There are people with the trainers on, the kids, and then there is the

:30:43. > :30:46.crowd of people dressed up with the hats on here. When you come here it

:30:46. > :30:50.is an amazing atmosphere. It is brilliant.

:30:51. > :30:55.Do you think about the fact that this is your first Derby, are you

:30:55. > :30:59.nervous about that? I'm not yet. I am guessing that I will be nearer

:30:59. > :31:01.the time, but when you get on the horse you get in the zone and block

:31:02. > :31:08.all of this out and get on with the job.

:31:08. > :31:13.How do you block it out? How do you block all of this out? Do you

:31:13. > :31:20.listen to music, do you go into the changing rooms when the boys are

:31:20. > :31:25.not there? What do you do? You get in the room by yourself and try to

:31:25. > :31:33.take some time on your own, that is the best way, really.

:31:33. > :31:37.How do you feel about the day, the pressure? It is going to be OK. He

:31:37. > :31:43.is not a restless horse. He will have a great race.

:31:43. > :31:48.Meanwhile, the Royal Party are making their way down to the

:31:48. > :31:52.paddock. The Queen making her way into the Parade Ring.

:31:52. > :31:57.The Duke of Edinburgh right behind her. Her Majesty will have a very

:31:57. > :32:03.close look in the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup, the six runners. A

:32:03. > :32:05.race she won herself with Aureole. He came back here to Epsom and won

:32:05. > :32:15.the Coronation Cup in the following year.

:32:15. > :32:16.

:32:16. > :32:20.This is the line up for the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup this year.

:32:20. > :32:26.And a fascinating contest it is too. Joseph O'Brien is on St Nicholas

:32:26. > :32:33.Abbey again. A horse who gave him his greatest triumph last year in

:32:33. > :32:39.the Breeder's Cup Turf. The last time he found himself on the other

:32:39. > :32:44.side of the St Leger as far as punters were concerned. He failed

:32:44. > :32:50.to real in the pacemaker, Windsor Prince. He knows the horse well.

:32:50. > :33:00.Let's have a look at the runners and the riders for this group 1

:33:00. > :33:00.

:33:00. > :33:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:33:43. > :33:48.So, the opening show for the paddock. There is the rider for

:33:48. > :33:52.Masked Marvel. Beaten Up is still being saddled. They have temporary

:33:52. > :33:56.saddling boxes here at Epsom. They are not a great favourite with the

:33:56. > :34:02.trainers, it has to be said. They can blow around in the wind and

:34:02. > :34:08.feel fragile, but William is over there, saddling up Beaten Up. He

:34:08. > :34:13.could win a big race in this. He went to Dubai, recently, something

:34:13. > :34:23.went wrong there, he did not race well, but he has a lot of ability.

:34:23. > :34:31.And out of the same mare, she is also the mother of Val. His father

:34:31. > :34:36.bred him and bred Val as well. I have had a chat yesterday with

:34:36. > :34:40.Connexions, Johnny Murtagh suggests that the race in Dubai that Clare

:34:40. > :34:45.referred to, where he fell behind St Nicholas Abbey, it was the wrong

:34:45. > :34:50.race at the wrong time. They are expecting a bigger show for him

:34:50. > :34:55.today. Willie? Yes, obviously, Dubai does

:34:55. > :35:02.not really fit in with the British timing. You have to take your horse

:35:02. > :35:06.to Dubai either very, very early so as you can get acclimatised.

:35:06. > :35:11.Let's have a look at the odds-on favourite for the race, St Nicholas

:35:11. > :35:17.Abbey. He is about to get saddled up, so I will stay out of the way.

:35:17. > :35:21.How does he look to you, Willie? Fit! That's it? He is a marvellous

:35:21. > :35:28.animal. Look at him, his head is up in the air.

:35:28. > :35:33.Take us through what they are doing? The grey pad goes on first.

:35:33. > :35:38.It does not slip. Then the number cloth and then that great big

:35:38. > :35:44.saddle on. The saddle is as big as the palm of

:35:44. > :35:49.your hand?! Yes, the saddle weighs about 12 ounces, the girth weigh

:35:49. > :35:56.more than the saddle itself. He is a big lad, Joseph, about nine stone,

:35:56. > :36:00.so obviously he will not have a very big saddle. Under there is the

:36:00. > :36:06.non-slip saddle, the pad under the number cloth and there, the girth?

:36:06. > :36:13.On the inside is a bit of rubber, it has little squares on it, it

:36:13. > :36:18.also is hopefully non-slipping. It helps the sald from slipping.

:36:18. > :36:21.You could go back 40 years and see the jockeys falling off. That does

:36:21. > :36:27.not happen because of better technology and equipment, but you

:36:27. > :36:33.can see the horse. He is being saddled up there, he has his back

:36:33. > :36:38.legs out behind him, very, very relaxed indeed. He has had this

:36:38. > :36:42.done many times before. He has been all over the world, obviously he's

:36:42. > :36:48.been on a plane this morning, but he is a very, very intelligent type

:36:48. > :36:53.of horse. You can see him looking back there, "Oops, are you putting

:36:53. > :36:58.that saddle on too tight?" Everything is done to perfection?

:36:58. > :37:03.Yes, everybody does the same thing. I was going to ask you, would there

:37:03. > :37:07.be anything in the Aidan O'Brien route yeen that you have seen that

:37:07. > :37:12.would be different from -- routine that you have seen that is

:37:12. > :37:19.different from any of the other trainers? No, but that he does it

:37:19. > :37:23.out in the open like this. His horses are so well behaved. Other

:37:23. > :37:29.trainers take them into boxs with sides on them as some of them are

:37:29. > :37:33.difficult, edgy. You like them in a confined space to keep them quiet

:37:33. > :37:39.to keep the saddle on. But sometimes the boxes are warm?

:37:39. > :37:44.Yes, but they rattle too, but Aidan seems to be able to get his horses

:37:44. > :37:48.to stand. He must be doing something at home to keep them as

:37:48. > :37:54.relaxed as they are. Look at that horse? He is like a police horse,

:37:54. > :37:59.isn't he? No negatives there. And also watching the horses

:37:59. > :38:04.closely, the Queen. Making her inspections. She will take notes in

:38:04. > :38:07.her race card and see if her eye is correct, as when she sees the

:38:07. > :38:12.horses canter to the start and whether they do themselves justice

:38:12. > :38:17.and run up to the full capability of their form. You can see her

:38:17. > :38:22.looking so closely at these horses. There are lovely animals here. All

:38:22. > :38:27.of them older horses going up to six years old, thus more dwoched

:38:27. > :38:34.than some of the other -- developed than some of the other horses.

:38:34. > :38:37.Some of the horses are owned in syndicates, but Brian has a

:38:37. > :38:43.particular interest. Not only do you own the horse, you bred him and

:38:43. > :38:48.your son trains him? Furthermore, my daughter is in, no, she's not in

:38:48. > :38:58.this indicate. You did not let her?! Yes, very

:38:58. > :38:59.

:38:59. > :39:07.exciting! I am related to Harris Tweed. Related to Vwo.

:39:07. > :39:17.Related to Frog. Bought by me, 16,000 guineas on a whim.

:39:17. > :39:18.

:39:18. > :39:24.Why did you call her Frog? She is French-bred! This horse has a

:39:24. > :39:29.lovely name in Beaten Up. You must think this is going to be a tough

:39:29. > :39:34.race with Beaten Up? He looks the best I have seen him. He is

:39:34. > :39:41.overweight by seven kilos, I said I was pleased. I think he will run a

:39:41. > :39:46.big race, provided we get a good run. He's going to kick on. The

:39:46. > :39:51.ones that have led have on the whole won this week.

:39:51. > :39:55.They have. You should get a decent pace set by

:39:55. > :40:00.Robin Hood. I will let you get your position.

:40:00. > :40:09.Thank you, madam. He is the only person that calls me

:40:09. > :40:14.madam, it must be said! The horses are to make their way out on to the

:40:14. > :40:19.course. They will parade down to the start, all six of them. A small

:40:19. > :40:26.field for this. Perhaps some of them scared off by the horses such

:40:26. > :40:36.as St Nicholas Abbey. Red Cadeaux it is, who looks as if

:40:36. > :40:47.

:40:47. > :40:53.he is to lead out the runners. Well, this Red Cadeaux has been a

:40:53. > :40:59.sensational horse. He went over to the Melbourne Cup and nearly won it.

:40:59. > :41:06.He was beaten in a photo finish. Since then he has won the Yorkshire

:41:06. > :41:12.Cup. Brian Haggis saying he has never seen him looking better. Here

:41:12. > :41:17.we see the pacemaker, Robin Hood. Seamie Heffernan is riding him.

:41:17. > :41:24.He is checking that there is a lead down to the start. Joseph deciding

:41:24. > :41:28.to do his thing, taking St Nicholas Abbey over to the far rail. Pat

:41:28. > :41:34.Keating and Aidan O'Brien alongside the talented horse. They thought he

:41:34. > :41:38.would be the Derby horse, never got to run in the race after an

:41:38. > :41:42.unsuccessful 2,000 Guineas, we will see what shapes up for him as a

:41:42. > :41:47.five-year-old now. He is quite a difficult horse to ride. He has a

:41:47. > :41:55.high head carriage, but Joseph, I felt that Joseph O'Brien came of

:41:55. > :41:58.age on this horse in the Breeder's Cup Turf. The runners making their

:41:58. > :42:03.way down to the start for the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup. We

:42:03. > :42:09.will catch up with them once they have gotten around Tattenham Corner.

:42:09. > :42:14.We will have a closer look and see how they are handling it all in

:42:14. > :42:17.terms of the occasion. That gives time to reflect on last year's

:42:17. > :42:21.time to reflect on last year's dramatic Derby win for Pour Moi.

:42:22. > :42:24.Well, the Carlton House story was a tremendous occasion right the way

:42:24. > :42:28.through. The Queen is at the centre of the

:42:28. > :42:33.story. She owns the favourite, Carlton House.

:42:33. > :42:39.The buzz was hugely exciting. Hundreds of thousands here at Epsom

:42:39. > :42:47.and millions around the country and around the world are hoping to send

:42:47. > :42:52.her victorious, happy and glorious. Everybody would love to be putting

:42:52. > :42:55.on Ryan Moore's boots today. It a class race a class line-up,

:42:55. > :43:01.let's hope that we have a classic result.

:43:01. > :43:08.It was a huge build-up. He is a horse in the news. He is a

:43:08. > :43:13.Derby favourite. Everyone wants this horse to win for Her Majesty.

:43:13. > :43:20.He didn't have a greater start. She was at Tattenham Corner.

:43:20. > :43:27.COMMENTATOR: The lead has gotten away on Tattenham Corner. They are

:43:27. > :43:32.giving chase. Here comes Carlton House, Ryan Moore down the outside.

:43:32. > :43:36.Here is Carlton House, called on for the final furlong. With 100

:43:36. > :43:42.yards to go. Carlton House! Pour Moi is

:43:42. > :43:52.swimming! Trough Beach is holding Pour Moi is the winner. Pour Moi

:43:52. > :43:55.

:43:55. > :44:02.Sadly the horse finished third and had some issues on the way. He lost

:44:02. > :44:06.a shoe. But that's racing, and the Queen will accept it with

:44:06. > :44:16.tremendous grace of course. And steadfastly will continue to on to

:44:16. > :44:21.

:44:21. > :44:28.We've seen Carlton House twice since this day 12 months ago. He

:44:28. > :44:33.went to Ireland and came fourth in the Irish Derby.

:44:33. > :44:41.He has the scarlet sleeves of the Queen.

:44:41. > :44:44.On Thursday he won at Sandown. His trainer, Sir Michael Stoute, said

:44:44. > :44:49.he will go to Royal Ascot but will stick at the quarter mile and a

:44:49. > :44:53.quarter trip and run in the Prince of Wales Stakes, which is the

:44:53. > :44:58.richest race of the meeting this year. Before we move on to the

:44:58. > :45:06.Coronation Cup, the runners are arriving at the porks I have Paul

:45:06. > :45:12.Hanagan with me, who is riding Mickdaam. Are you excited? Yes.

:45:12. > :45:18.almost went over the rails. I was almost pushed over the rails. But

:45:18. > :45:22.that's Epsom for you. Mickdaam here winning at Chester, a narrow

:45:22. > :45:27.victory. The ground will be different for him. Different and

:45:27. > :45:33.better for him. He is a nice-moving horse. He's in good form. He gets

:45:33. > :45:38.the trip well. I'm hopeful really. He works well every day at Richard

:45:38. > :45:42.Fahey's. We are all hopeful. It is ironic that you have ridden for a

:45:42. > :45:48.long time, but don't any more, because you have one of the best

:45:48. > :45:54.racing jobs for a jockey in the game, and now you are back with

:45:54. > :45:59.Richard in the Derby. Yes, I'm delighted to get my first ride for

:45:59. > :46:05.Richard. He's been so good for me. I'm delighted. We wish you and him

:46:05. > :46:15.the best of luck. Thank you. This Coronation Cup seeps St

:46:15. > :46:25.

:46:25. > :46:28.meaty doubles going on. This gives us the perfect

:46:28. > :46:33.opportunity to experience the distance and the course of the

:46:33. > :46:38.Derby. It is exactly the same for the Coronation Cup. A mile-and-a-

:46:38. > :46:46.half. We zoom down there. They come out of the stalls, a right-hand

:46:46. > :46:52.kink in the horse. Up the hill, left hand, downhill, Tattenham

:46:52. > :46:55.Corner, and the long straight with the camber, which tests the horse,

:46:55. > :47:02.particularly its balance. St Nicholas Abbey won last year

:47:02. > :47:11.wearing down Midday. He had gone for home a long way out.

:47:11. > :47:15.Midday was in front then. A little too soon. But St Nicholas Abbey

:47:15. > :47:20.benefited. Ryan Moore rode him and had to make him do it. He's a horse

:47:20. > :47:24.that would stay a lot further than a mile-and-a-half. Stamina is his

:47:24. > :47:30.thing. In fact he is a horse possibly next year, if they keep

:47:30. > :47:38.him in training, if they wanted to, they could go for the Gold Cup.

:47:38. > :47:44.could be their next Yeates. Flame And Glory went wrong this,

:47:44. > :47:52.could be that type of animal, as he has stamina, plenty of it. He's a

:47:52. > :47:56.very good racehorse. He looks a lot lighter. He ran not so long ago at

:47:56. > :48:01.the Curragh. And Joseph got stick for his ride. He was confident that

:48:01. > :48:09.day. He was expecting horses to stop in front of him. He's got very

:48:09. > :48:14.warm, St Nicholas Abbey. He does do. This he did this in the paddock.

:48:14. > :48:18.They get themselves quite worried and wound up, but my word they have

:48:18. > :48:22.talent. St Nicholas Abbey is the hot favourite to win this prize for

:48:22. > :48:31.the second year in a row. Amongst the opposition, we spoke to the

:48:31. > :48:36.owner and breeder of this has, Brian Haggas. Beaten Up looked

:48:36. > :48:42.really well in the paddock. He did look really well. Very good in his

:48:42. > :48:47.skin. Very good with himself. This family, they were very tough and

:48:47. > :48:54.very, very talented as well. There he is getting the blindfold put on

:48:54. > :49:00.them. -- put on him. This is so they can't see the stalls. Some

:49:00. > :49:06.horses don't like to go into things above their heads. A hood is very

:49:06. > :49:12.good to get horses into the stalls nice and quietly.

:49:12. > :49:17.A look at Masked Marvel, who won the St Leger last season. Went to

:49:17. > :49:21.the Arc. Taimed off there. Didn't run well in the Jockey Club Stakes,

:49:21. > :49:26.but he will have progressed throughout the year. It may be that

:49:27. > :49:31.it happens today. Red Cadeaux, what a fabulous servant he's been St

:49:31. > :49:38.Nicholas Abbey is the last one to go forward. Let's join Grath Grath

:49:38. > :49:43.gravel. -- Jim McGrath.

:49:43. > :49:49.They're off! And away to a good start in the Coronation Cup. In the

:49:50. > :49:56.centre Beaten Up restrained. Robin Hood, the pacemaker, going on as

:49:56. > :50:02.expected. Slling down from Masked Marvel. Quest For Success is --

:50:02. > :50:06.settling down from Masked Marvel. Quest For Success to Masked Marvel

:50:06. > :50:11.and then Red Cadeaux. Towards the right side of the track. He cut to

:50:11. > :50:15.the corner and head to the left side. The leader is Robin Hood.

:50:15. > :50:19.Leads by three to four lengths. Setting a good pace from Masked

:50:19. > :50:26.Marvel in second. Third is Quest For Success and fourth is Beaten Up.

:50:26. > :50:31.Not fully settled yesterday. They are followed by St Nicholas Abbey.

:50:31. > :50:34.Three lengths away, the Melbourne Cup runner-up Red Cadeaux, all the

:50:35. > :50:41.time climbing. It is Robin Hood by four lengths to in second Masked

:50:41. > :50:45.Marvel. Third is Quest For Success, followed by Beaten Up, who is

:50:45. > :50:48.behind Quest For Success. They are followed by St Nicholas Abbey.

:50:48. > :50:52.Spotting his pacemaker about ten lengths at this stage. Red Cadeaux

:50:52. > :50:58.is still at the tail of the field. As they race up towards the highest

:50:58. > :51:02.point of the course. Now to free- wheel down Tattenham Corner, and

:51:02. > :51:07.Robin Hood by five lengths to Masked Marvel in second. Then in

:51:07. > :51:12.third is the white-capped Quest For Success. Two lengths away is Beaten

:51:12. > :51:16.Up followed by Red Cadeaux, moving through on the inside to St

:51:16. > :51:21.Nicholas Abbey, who is held up at the rear and still riding a

:51:21. > :51:25.confident race at the back is Joseph O'Brien. They race to

:51:25. > :51:29.Tattenham Corner and Robin Hood is about eight lengths in front,

:51:29. > :51:33.setting a real gallop from Masked Marvel in second. In third is Quest

:51:33. > :51:37.For Success. Now starting to ease to the outside. St Nicholas Abbey

:51:37. > :51:42.and he is gathering in his pace make quickly from Beaten Up. A gap

:51:42. > :51:46.to Red Cadeaux. Into the home straight. He's there in two bounds

:51:46. > :51:51.O'Brien. On the inside St Nicholas Abbey has raced up to take the lead

:51:51. > :51:54.from Masked Marvel. Robin Hood in his stride. Further back is Quest

:51:54. > :51:58.For Success. Red Cadeaux is starting to run on very well. St

:51:58. > :52:01.Nicholas Abbey is leader with just o'er a furlong to go. He is four

:52:01. > :52:05.lengths in front of Masked Marvel. Red Cadeaux running into third and

:52:05. > :52:10.then Quest For Success. But as they race up now towards the line, it is

:52:10. > :52:14.St Nicholas Abbey, who is going to make it back to back wins in the

:52:14. > :52:17.Coronation Cup. The Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup won by St Nicholas

:52:17. > :52:22.Abbey. Red Cadeaux a really good run in second. This third Masked

:52:22. > :52:30.Marvel. Followed in fourth by Quest For Success, and a long gap to

:52:30. > :52:35.Beaten Up, and last is Robin Hood. The winner is number six, St

:52:35. > :52:40.Nicholas Abbey. Another win in this Group 1 Coronation Cup. This time

:52:40. > :52:43.at odds of 11-8 on. He was even money last year. Second is number

:52:43. > :52:49.four, Red Cadeaux, Ryan Moore. Third is Masked Marvel, William

:52:49. > :52:55.Buick. And for the is number three, Quest For Success, ridden by --

:52:55. > :52:59.Quest For Success I should say, ridden by Kieren Fallon. There is

:52:59. > :53:08.St Nicholas Abbey. Joseph O'Brien rode the most confident of races

:53:08. > :53:14.there. He was not at all put off by his experience at the Curragh last

:53:14. > :53:20.time, when he did leave that pacemaker, let him get away. But

:53:20. > :53:26.there he is striding up towards the line. St Nicholas Abbey has gone on

:53:26. > :53:34.to win it in very comfortable style. Red Cadeaux in second. Just looking

:53:34. > :53:39.to see if Joseph O'Brien has a whip there. One of our keen observers

:53:39. > :53:46.says he's dropped it. There is Red Cadeaux. That was an excellent run

:53:46. > :53:52.in second. In third was Masked Marvel. In fourth was Quest For

:53:52. > :53:59.Success. Still a couple more to come. Fifth was Beaten Up and sixth

:53:59. > :54:06.was the pacemaker, Robin Hood. There is Joseph O'Brien. The whip

:54:06. > :54:11.in the left hand. There it is. The hip's gone there. You can see from

:54:11. > :54:16.his right hand I should say, just slipping out there. Didn't need it

:54:16. > :54:24.there. The distances were four-and- a-half lengths and three and a

:54:24. > :54:31.quarter lengths. 2.34.52 the time. What a performance from St St. Came

:54:31. > :54:38.out cruising, whooshed past them all. Joseph just needed to sit

:54:38. > :54:46.there and steer. He emulates War San who did it for Clive Bitton in

:54:46. > :54:50.2003. This tongue is lolling out. You wonder what might have been in

:54:50. > :54:56.this three-year-old's career, if he had not run so poorly in the 2000

:54:56. > :55:02.Guineas. Aidan O'Brien admits he was rushing him for that. The only

:55:02. > :55:08.thing this horse lacks is speed. He's got stamina in abundance.

:55:08. > :55:14.when he quickened there... He's had a pacemaker and they've gone a nice

:55:14. > :55:19.gallop. The horses are started to get tired. That's not speed, that's

:55:19. > :55:25.pure class over this distance. Beaten Up was desperately

:55:26. > :55:29.disappointing. Didn't get into it aloff. Ignored the pacemaker, so

:55:29. > :55:35.effectively Masked Marvel was making the running. He beat the

:55:35. > :55:42.good horse as long, long way. APPLAUSE

:55:42. > :55:51.That time incidentally was 0.48 seconds faster than the Racing Post

:55:51. > :55:56.standard. It was still three and a fifth

:55:56. > :56:06.seconds outside Workforce's record set in the Derby in 2010. This is a

:56:06. > :56:08.

:56:08. > :56:15.horse who really did fall apart two years ago when he was going for the

:56:15. > :56:20.Guineas. He just didn't, he wasn't able to stand it we didn't see much

:56:20. > :56:25.of him that have for a long time, but this has been a great training

:56:25. > :56:32.performance for Aidan O'Brien. He always said the horse was a top

:56:32. > :56:39.horse, and blamed himself for that three-year-old campaign. There he

:56:39. > :56:45.is and Rishi is with Joseph O'Brien. It all looked easy for you today,

:56:45. > :56:50.Joseph, the way he travelled and picked up. He looked like he is in

:56:50. > :56:56.top gear at the moment. When he goes to sleep early in his races he

:56:56. > :57:01.is a special horse. He has a lot of abit. He is back to his old form.

:57:01. > :57:07.Were you surprised at how easily he got to the front? He picked up a

:57:07. > :57:13.bit and I didn't want to disappoint him. I let him go forward. When he

:57:13. > :57:17.relaxes and picks up like that... Does this give you more confidence

:57:23. > :57:27.the big one later. Thank you Rishi. I've got Aidan O'Brien standing in

:57:27. > :57:35.front of me. We heard from Joseph. The smile says it all, it takes the

:57:35. > :57:41.pressure off a bit with cam catch. With Camelot. Joseph being the

:57:41. > :57:45.first to say, I think I hit the front too soon. He couldn't help

:57:45. > :57:52.himself. St Nicholas Abbey, the way he swept parks it was thrilling to

:57:52. > :57:56.watch. A -- swept past, it was thrilling to watch. It was great.

:57:56. > :58:01.This could be a terrific two-day festival for you. You have bagged

:58:01. > :58:05.the two Group 1s so far. I can't tell you how much we are delighted

:58:05. > :58:12.to be here and to be part of it. It's a real privilege. Looking at

:58:12. > :58:20.St Nicholas Abbey, what are his key aim this is year? He has an aping

:58:20. > :58:25.of the Prince of Wales at Ascot and then an option at King George. And

:58:25. > :58:31.the Arc later in the year. Congratulations to you and a

:58:31. > :58:37.terrific training performance with him. As a four and five-year-old he

:58:37. > :58:43.has come into his own. Derek Smith sits on 99 Group 1 winners in which

:58:43. > :58:49.he's been involved as part of a triumvirate. The Derby could be

:58:49. > :58:59.number 100. Derek, can I have a quick word with you? These are your

:58:59. > :59:06.

:59:06. > :59:10.clears. What a thrilling time you Last year the Breeders Cup, I think

:59:10. > :59:15.that was as good as you are going to get. He does seem to be

:59:15. > :59:20.improving. Although he gets himself wound up before hand, it doesn't

:59:20. > :59:24.spoil him. He went to the front probably sooner than he wanted to.

:59:24. > :59:28.But it was procession really. Very impressive. You are wearing the

:59:28. > :59:32.purple and white tie, your colours. This could be the biggest difficult

:59:32. > :59:36.your life in terms of your colours. How many times have your colours

:59:36. > :59:44.finished in the Derby? Four consecutive. And five in total.

:59:44. > :59:47.is number 99, so it will be 100 group winners. This is the day?

:59:47. > :59:52.doubt. You are confident about Camelot? Very. And you have been

:59:52. > :59:58.since probably the time you first worked at Ballydoyle as a two-year-

:59:58. > :00:02.old. Absolutely. He isn't going to let us down now. Well done.

:00:02. > :00:12.Sounding much more bull theish than Aidan will ever let on.

:00:12. > :00:24.

:00:25. > :00:28.A fabulous result for them in the More money on Camelot. All of that

:00:28. > :00:34.money rolling tonne the favourite, Camelot.

:00:34. > :00:37.So, let's have a look at the final stages once again. Masked Marvel.

:00:37. > :00:41.Look at how quickly St Nicholas Look at how quickly St Nicholas

:00:41. > :00:48.Abbey races to him. When the pacemaker went so quickly.

:00:48. > :00:53.It was probably 100 yards or so earlier than what Joseph O'Brien

:00:53. > :00:58.wanted. He did not want to disappoint the horse. The horse was

:00:58. > :01:07.charging, he had to let him stride on. He has done that very well.

:01:07. > :01:12.It was a performance, you would have to say, a performance fit for

:01:13. > :01:17.a Queen. Certainly on a day like this.

:01:17. > :01:22.The Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup, a really special occasion for Epsom.

:01:22. > :01:26.A special occasion for Epsom and Her Majesty now coming out to

:01:26. > :01:30.present the trophy. It is a great thrill for everybody

:01:30. > :01:40.connected with this racecourse. Everybody connected with British

:01:40. > :01:45.

:01:45. > :01:49.racing. Your Royal high necessarys, Her

:01:50. > :01:54.Majesty the Queen has kindly agreed to present the trophy for this re-

:01:54. > :01:59.named Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup, Group 1 race over the course

:01:59. > :02:02.and the distance of a mile-and-a- half. It has been won in style for

:02:02. > :02:12.the second year running by St Nicholas Abbey, so please, welcome

:02:12. > :02:19.

:02:19. > :02:23.on to the stage the winning owners. APPLAUSE

:02:23. > :02:28.The horse is, of course, a superstar. St Nicholas Abbey, but

:02:28. > :02:33.so too is his trainer, winning this race for the sixth time in eight

:02:33. > :02:43.year. Ladies and gentlemen, Aidan O'Brien.

:02:43. > :02:45.

:02:45. > :02:50.And what about the young man on board? He is just 19 years old. He

:02:50. > :02:58.has nerves of steel. He has incredible talent. He is Joseph

:02:58. > :03:04.O'Brien. And this, of course, the team that

:03:04. > :03:08.will link up with the odds-on favourite, Camelot in the Investec

:03:08. > :03:11.Derby, still to come at 4.00pm. For now, they celebrate success in the

:03:11. > :03:14.Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup. Congratulations to the team

:03:14. > :03:24.associated with St Nicholas Abbey who wins this race for the second

:03:24. > :03:28.year running! So, a fairly clean running of this Diamond Jubilee

:03:28. > :03:34.Coronation Cup. Not so many problems on the way around. A

:03:34. > :03:39.couple of little incidences in the race. The pacemaker, Robin Hood

:03:39. > :03:45.with the sort red visor on. He comes out of the stalls and slips

:03:45. > :03:50.and does not help the horse next to him. It puts him off there? Yes,

:03:50. > :03:55.Johnny Murtagh gets het up. You can see him looking across. He wants

:03:55. > :04:02.someone else to come and make the pace. That he that Is that the

:04:02. > :04:06.pacemaker will no take on the role. And he is almost on his knees.

:04:06. > :04:10.He manages just to get up and do the running.

:04:10. > :04:15.Here is a closer look. Here is Red Cadeaux. He is a horse that won

:04:15. > :04:19.over a furlong the last time. He won over a mile and three quarters.

:04:19. > :04:24.He has the brilliant run being second in the Melbourne Cup.

:04:25. > :04:30.He is catching St Nicholas Abbey all the way to the line.

:04:30. > :04:35.It was a very eye-catching run. It will be trk to see where they go

:04:35. > :04:40.with him -- it will be interesting to see where they go with him.

:04:40. > :04:43.It is one thing, Aidan O'Brien likes his horses to do it smoothly,

:04:43. > :04:53.you don't get much more smoother than this.

:04:53. > :04:54.

:04:54. > :04:58.And as he said himself, probably hitting the front a little Earl yir

:04:58. > :05:01.-- early, but that sometimes happens.

:05:01. > :05:05.And Masked Marvel who finished in third place, although he had run in

:05:05. > :05:13.the Derby last year, he finished eighth, this not the track for him.

:05:13. > :05:17.Likely to go to Royal Ascot. We could see him there in two weeks'

:05:17. > :05:26.time, they are thinking about aiming him at the St Leger in

:05:26. > :05:29.Ireland at the Curragh in September. And Anthony Cane, the chairman of

:05:29. > :05:32.Epsom Racecourse took the opportunity while the Queen was

:05:32. > :05:37.presenting the trophy for the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup of

:05:37. > :05:41.giving her an album of Derby winners and incidences over the

:05:41. > :05:45.years. The Queen is a great historian and will absolutely love

:05:45. > :05:50.this and study it in detail. A fabulous gift to mark the Diamond

:05:50. > :05:54.Jubilee. I suspect that Anthony will have to

:05:54. > :05:59.hang on to it to ensure it is delivered later to Buckingham

:05:59. > :06:03.Palace or Windsor calf. The Queen beaming there as she is

:06:03. > :06:08.chatting to the owners and to Anthony.

:06:08. > :06:13.A real superstar horse, St Nicholas Abbey, great to see him win in such

:06:13. > :06:18.great style. Applause from the assembled crowd

:06:18. > :06:23.around this circular winner's enclosure as the queen makes her

:06:23. > :06:29.way back um to -- up to the Royal Box. The rest of the party are

:06:29. > :06:33.looking down. It has warmed up, the sun is just starting to come out.

:06:33. > :06:43.It really is now a beautiful day, as it should be on Derby Day. This

:06:43. > :06:50.

:06:50. > :06:54.The Red Devils parachuted down. The Queen arriving at the head of the

:06:54. > :07:02.Royal Procession and the first race went to one of the greatest

:07:02. > :07:08.trainers in the racing world, Sir Henry cressily with Wrotham Heath

:07:08. > :07:12.and Tom Queally on board. And Mick Shannon, a former England

:07:12. > :07:16.footballer and hugely successful flat racing, getting up by the

:07:16. > :07:19.narrowest of margins. The Queen made her way to the paddock to

:07:19. > :07:25.examine the six runners for the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup.

:07:25. > :07:34.What a winner we saw. He stuck his tongue out to the rest, St Nicholas

:07:34. > :07:39.Abbey the --. Now, the second favourite for the Investec Derby is

:07:39. > :07:49.Bonfire, he is trained by my brother, Andrew.

:07:49. > :07:56.That is Lee -Anne, she does the work at home on Bonfire. He is not

:07:56. > :08:02.the easiest horse. He has a mind of his own, but it is a good excuse to

:08:02. > :08:12.go to the stables to find out about the horse who could upset Camelot.

:08:12. > :08:16.

:08:17. > :08:20.Could it be Bonfire? My Grandfather, Ian, who we call Grumpy, trained a

:08:20. > :08:27.horse called Mill Reef. Mill Reef striding to the front now. He run

:08:27. > :08:30.in 18... 18... 190... 1... No, 1971! Mill Reef's the winner!

:08:30. > :08:34.That's my daddy. He has a horse running in the Derby called Bonfire.

:08:34. > :08:38.He's a neck in front and Bonfire wins the Dandy by under a length.

:08:38. > :08:46.This is my aunty Clare whose presenting Derby Day for the Derby.

:08:46. > :08:53.I am. What's going to happen on Derby Day, do you think? I think

:08:53. > :08:57.Bonfire's going to win the Derby. hope you're right. What did JJ say

:08:57. > :09:00.to you the other day? He said to me, "Daddy, you know if you really want

:09:00. > :09:04.Bonfire to win the Derby, you should let Grumpy train him because

:09:04. > :09:11.he's won a Derby." I said, "OK." Thanks for the vote of confidence

:09:11. > :09:14.from my five-year-old son. This is where I grew up. I used to come up

:09:14. > :09:22.here on any horse I was riding whenever I could, just fantastic

:09:22. > :09:28.space. Real old downland turf so, perfect for training horses.

:09:28. > :09:31.There's an incredible amount of history in this place. It was my

:09:31. > :09:36.home, so you slightly take it for granted, but this was purpose-built

:09:36. > :09:46.as a training stable. Nine Derby winners have already come out of

:09:46. > :09:46.

:09:46. > :09:49.one of these old yards. 1971, I know it well only because you've

:09:49. > :09:54.told me enough times recently, that you were born in that year! That

:09:54. > :09:58.was the second-best thing that happened that year! Thanks! You

:09:58. > :10:01.genuinely, you wouldn't know that, would you? If somebody said what

:10:01. > :10:04.happened in 1971, you would have gone through everything that Mill

:10:04. > :10:08.Reef did and you wouldn't have known that your first child was

:10:08. > :10:18.born? Yes. I said to you what happened in 1972, what would you

:10:18. > :10:19.

:10:19. > :10:24.say? Mill Reef broke a leg. Do you know what else? Happened in 1972?

:10:24. > :10:27.He wasn't born, was he? Yes, he was! I think that is a perfect

:10:27. > :10:32.illustration of how Mill Reef has dominated our life! What do you

:10:32. > :10:35.think it was about Mill Reef that made him so special? I think there

:10:35. > :10:39.were two great qualities. One was his temperament, which was

:10:39. > :10:46.absolutely amazing. And of course his way of moving was so special, I

:10:46. > :10:49.have never seen another horse move like that. These are the colours

:10:49. > :10:53.Mill Reef carried in the Derby, although he did not have the Lycra

:10:53. > :10:57.ones, he had silk ones. Mr Mellon's colours. These are the Queen

:10:57. > :11:00.Mother's colours, the Queen's colours. She had horses with my

:11:00. > :11:09.father, with my grandfather and now does with my brother. Those were

:11:09. > :11:11.Border Arrow's colours. He finished third in the Derby and these are

:11:12. > :11:15.the colours of Bonfire, who, hopefully, will finish better than

:11:15. > :11:18.third, who knows? So this is him. He looks pretty well, doesn't he?

:11:19. > :11:22.Still a couple of kilos to put back on after York, but he looks really

:11:22. > :11:28.well in his skin. Appetite's good. He's doing alright with his hay?

:11:28. > :11:32.Good. $YELLOW Perfect. I was about seven-years-old when my brother

:11:32. > :11:37.first told me that he was going to train racehorses. This is us on our

:11:37. > :11:40.ponies with grandma. This is Andrew. He said he was going to be a

:11:40. > :11:48.trainer, I thought I better find something else to do. How would you

:11:48. > :11:53.describe Bonfire as a character? Complex at times. He's got his own

:11:53. > :12:01.idea on things, for sure. When he first started with him early this

:12:02. > :12:05.year he was a real handful. He's a talent and he knows it. At the end

:12:05. > :12:11.of the day, the horse deserves to be there, he has a great chance if

:12:11. > :12:14.he stays. As long as the horse sweats his race I will be delighted.

:12:14. > :12:18.It's the Derby, you know, it's a big deal. So it's just lovely for

:12:18. > :12:21.us all to be a player. So, I hope you've worked out what you're, how

:12:21. > :12:24.you'll behave if he happens to win it? $$WHITEI think not go near any

:12:24. > :12:34.of you, is probably the only answer, just hand the microphone to

:12:34. > :12:38.

:12:38. > :12:44.I've been asked by so many people what will you do if your brother

:12:44. > :12:50.wins the Derby. The reason they ask, the first year Andrew was training,

:12:50. > :12:56.we were doing the coverage, Sue Barker was up here on the podium,

:12:56. > :13:05.as the race was being run, I was whacking your back. Poor will ie

:13:05. > :13:11.was covered in bruises. This is what happened! Come on!

:13:11. > :13:14.Well done. Sorry, I'm meant to say something.

:13:14. > :13:24.I can't speak. I'm speechless.

:13:24. > :13:29.

:13:29. > :13:36.Can't speak. Neither can I. Wonderful.

:13:37. > :13:40.A bit hopeless at the moment. It was wonderful. I know, but that

:13:40. > :13:45.officially goes down as the worst winning interview ever and I will,

:13:45. > :13:48.I hope, I'm in the position in the very fortunate position to try and

:13:48. > :13:52.find the right words this time around. The chances are it won't

:13:52. > :14:00.happen. You are more professional now, aren't you? No, I'm just

:14:00. > :14:05.practising, trying not to with so emotional -- not not to be so

:14:05. > :14:09.emotional. Mill Reef came along as my brother was born. Nine in that

:14:09. > :14:13.yard, seven trained by John Porter, one trained by dad and an true

:14:13. > :14:19.maybe with the tenth from Park House. The other interesting fact

:14:19. > :14:26.about Bonfire and Camelot is both were brought up in the same paddock

:14:26. > :14:36.at the stud seven miles away from us. Vow was there. If you zoom

:14:36. > :14:38.

:14:38. > :14:43.along, you go past Watership Down Stud and Bonfire is trained at

:14:44. > :14:47.Kingsclere. It's an extraordinary coincidence but the yand expands

:14:47. > :14:52.all the time -- yard expands all the time. It's like a city. Doesn't

:14:52. > :15:02.feel like that when you are on the downs. Bonfire, we talk about his

:15:02. > :15:10.

:15:10. > :15:15.temperament, he will be saddled in the stables will Minimise Risk.

:15:15. > :15:19.We'll find out whether he has the temperament, whether he can deal

:15:19. > :15:24.with preliminaries and whether he's good enough to beat Camelot and

:15:25. > :15:30.Astrology and the other nine runners in the Investec Derby.

:15:30. > :15:34.Could be huge. You are getting nervous already. I'm excited and I

:15:34. > :15:37.think if you can't get excited when your brother has a rider in the

:15:37. > :15:41.Derby, what would be the point saying, I don't really mind, of

:15:41. > :15:47.course I do! You are working for the BBC! I know! But this could be

:15:48. > :15:52.the greatest day of my racing life! Anyway this is not the point...

:15:52. > :15:57.Enjoy it. I will. It's part of the story, I hope this gets people

:15:57. > :16:00.interested as well. We have an odds on favourite and a gorgeous day.

:16:00. > :16:03.The wind has dropped completely. For the first day of the Diamond

:16:03. > :16:08.Jubilee which gives us a chance to enjoy the successs that the Queen

:16:08. > :16:18.has enjoyed and the people who've ridden and train ford her by Royal

:16:18. > :16:21.

:16:21. > :16:28.I've been very blessed to be able to ride for her. To be in her

:16:28. > :16:32.company, it's a privilege to be in the races when she's there. I was

:16:32. > :16:36.very nervous going out to meet her for the first time but she put me

:16:36. > :16:40.at ease pleadly. She has a sparkle in her eyes when watching the

:16:40. > :16:47.horses around the paddock and really loves her racing. I enjoyed

:16:47. > :16:51.it immensely putting the colours on, felt very proud immediately.

:16:51. > :16:57.They're unique. You are wearing tradition, Royal and glamour and

:16:57. > :17:01.it's something that you never forget all your life. It was nice

:17:01. > :17:06.to ride a winner for her. Her face would beam and it made you feel

:17:06. > :17:11.good. When I won the race and was walking back in and she was there,

:17:12. > :17:19.it was just, you know, I can't believe this is actually happening.

:17:20. > :17:25.Momentary, number four is first. That was a special day. Free Agent,

:17:25. > :17:35.a Royal winner. The BBC got a great shot of her in the Royal Box.

:17:35. > :17:37.

:17:37. > :17:41.Everyone came out of the grandstand I've been joined bid someone who's

:17:41. > :17:44.very qualified to know about the Queen because Julian, author and

:17:44. > :17:48.journalist has written a book called Her Majesty's Pleasure, what

:17:48. > :17:53.inspired you to do that? It's been a long time since a book of this

:17:53. > :17:56.kind has been written. The last was probably down in 1976 from memory

:17:56. > :18:01.and it's the Jubilee year and we thought it was about time the

:18:01. > :18:05.Queen's interest in racing was chronicled again. Did it take you

:18:05. > :18:10.long? About 14-15 months, a lot of research, a lot of interviews,

:18:10. > :18:14.talking to all sorts of people who were helpful with it. What did you

:18:14. > :18:18.learn yourself? How passionate the Queen is and how much she knows.

:18:18. > :18:22.John Warren, her racing manager, is one of the renowned judges and a

:18:22. > :18:26.great thinker about horses but every time he speaks to her, he

:18:26. > :18:32.says he learned something new. have the Derby here this year, a

:18:32. > :18:36.favourite in Camelot. But tell an anecdote - hold on, we have got the

:18:36. > :18:41.prices actually before we do that - what do you fancy? I think it's a

:18:41. > :18:46.one horse race, I think Camelot will win with a real show of

:18:46. > :18:49.strength. He won the Guineas over a trip that was way too short for him,

:18:49. > :18:55.in my opinion and I can't see anything else troubling him today.

:18:55. > :18:58.Back to the anecdote, what are they, please? The one I enjoyed

:18:58. > :19:01.particularly was when the Queen watched jockeys and stable lads

:19:01. > :19:05.ride work and it all went wrong, there was a kerfuffle and the lads

:19:05. > :19:10.came back into the room and were using the most industrial language

:19:10. > :19:14.imaginable without knowing the Queen was there and of course, huge

:19:14. > :19:18.embarrassment when they realised she turned round to them and said,

:19:18. > :19:22.don't forget that I've been marryed to a sailor most of my life. This

:19:22. > :19:26.is the one I like particularly, go on? It concerns a young Clare,

:19:26. > :19:30.because it's a little known fact she was given her first podium by

:19:30. > :19:35.the Queen. One day on a stable visit, she was holding a pony in

:19:35. > :19:39.line and the Queen patted it and said to Clare, this pony must be 24

:19:39. > :19:42.now and Clare said, no, she's 25 and the Queen rooked at her and

:19:42. > :19:46.said, I think you will probably find it is 24, Clare, no, it's 25!

:19:46. > :19:54.That was Clare off to a tee from a very young age, strident and

:19:54. > :19:59.committed in her opinions. Good luck with your book. Miss Balding,

:19:59. > :20:08.arguing with the Queen, surely not! You should have heard what my

:20:08. > :20:11.father said to me that day. How old were you then? Five or six maybe.

:20:11. > :20:21.were you then? Five or six maybe. Only little like my nephews.

:20:21. > :20:22.

:20:22. > :20:30.Biggest field of the day so far, 20 runners for this Investec Bank Dash.

:20:30. > :20:40.The record time was set by Lester Pigott. This race is the equine

:20:40. > :20:54.

:20:54. > :21:04.back! Bolt is back! Just imagine that taking place, Usain Bolt

:21:04. > :21:04.

:21:04. > :21:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:21:54. > :22:00.running downhill. That's exactly for a while. This is definitely a

:22:00. > :22:10.case of blink and you miss it, fastest five furlong in the world

:22:10. > :22:39.

:22:40. > :22:46.and it's Bear Behind and Catfish Bear Behind, he Tweeted this

:22:46. > :22:53.morning, watch my Bear Behind. at Musselburgh and was disqualified

:22:53. > :22:58.there. He'd just won the race but he's a very fast horse indeed. You

:22:58. > :23:04.would have to think that Richard Kingscote will have a great chance.

:23:04. > :23:14.He's got the draw. The punters think he's got a great chance

:23:14. > :23:15.

:23:15. > :23:19.because he's 7-1 co-favourite. is Catfish for Brian Meehan and

:23:20. > :23:24.Mickael Barzalona. Catfish was a winner at Goodwood last July.

:23:24. > :23:27.That's a similar downhill course. Then he was runner-up at York a

:23:27. > :23:37.week ago with this jockey. More unexposed than some in the field

:23:37. > :24:06.

:24:06. > :24:10.but is improving. He could just yard at this meeting. Just selected

:24:11. > :24:20.ones actually. We've only got four horses to go, Clare. Let's join Jim.

:24:21. > :24:26.

:24:26. > :24:33.It will be over in a flash! There's the champion jockey, Paul Hanagan.

:24:33. > :24:38.A fine jockey he is too. His first ride in the Derby on Mickdaam

:24:39. > :24:48.coming up at 4 o'clock. Catfish went to post very early. The last

:24:49. > :24:49.

:24:49. > :24:52.one to be installed. They are just about ready. Stand by. They are

:24:52. > :24:58.running! On the stands rail one of the first

:24:58. > :25:03.away is Bear Behind. Sohraab is up there. Going fast too is Judge 'n

:25:03. > :25:09.Jury. Wider out in the early stages is Captain Dunne and Stone Of Folca.

:25:10. > :25:16.On the far side that is. Captain Dunne going on from Stone Of Folca.

:25:16. > :25:23.Taajub. Judge 'n Jury. Followed further back in the field by

:25:24. > :25:31.Catfish, Long Awaited. Followed by Oor Jock on the far side. Living It

:25:31. > :25:35.Large. Stone Of Folca just the leader, forcing through Taajub.

:25:35. > :25:41.Followed further back by Desert Law. Stone Of Folca has kicked clear

:25:41. > :25:45.with about 100 yards left to go. Desert Law. Stone Of Folca in front.

:25:45. > :25:50.Stone Of Folca got there from Desert Law followed by Catfish.

:25:50. > :25:57.Just behind them, Taajub and Confessional and followed next by

:25:57. > :26:02.Jamesway and further back then Vocational. Stone Of Folca, Luke

:26:02. > :26:07.Morris trained by John Best has got the money here and there as the

:26:07. > :26:12.trainer. There is the horse, number 9, Stone Of Folca, always been well

:26:12. > :26:19.considered, well regarded by his yard, but just lost his way a bit

:26:19. > :26:26.last year. Was a very, very smart juvenile. Number 9, Stone Of Folca,

:26:26. > :26:33.is the oneer. Desert Law second, Catfish next and fourth Number 11,

:26:33. > :26:38.Taajub. From stall 2, unbelievable, how did he get there!? Absolutely.

:26:38. > :26:42.We knew he was a good horse last year, but to do it here, that's

:26:42. > :26:48.just unreal. That is the original self-interview. There he is over

:26:48. > :26:53.the line, Stone Of Folca has won it. And won it well. Second Desert Law,

:26:53. > :26:59.Health and Safety run out of his skin here. Third was 15, katd fish,

:26:59. > :27:04.fourth was Taajub, then Confessional -- Catfish. Then

:27:04. > :27:14.Jamesway, number 19. York Glory with the hood on the far side.

:27:14. > :27:16.

:27:16. > :27:26.Vocational in the centre Red Cap. Need side is Captain Dunne. Sohraab.

:27:26. > :27:30.

:27:30. > :27:34.Long Awaited. In the centre is Courageous. Diamond Charley. Just

:27:34. > :27:39.behind them is Living It Large and Judge 'n Jury who showed pace and

:27:40. > :27:44.another two to come. But John Best, we don't really need to ask him any

:27:44. > :27:54.more, he's interviewed himself, but fantastic performance and well done,

:27:54. > :27:58.

:27:58. > :28:02.talked to the camera about the draw, coming out of stall 2, that is

:28:02. > :28:10.possibly why Stone Of Folca was such a long price. And also the

:28:10. > :28:13.form last year wasen great. This was add good as a two-year-old?

:28:13. > :28:17.pound lower today than he's been in his life and he's been gelded. Only

:28:17. > :28:23.ever won a maiden before. You could see what a great passage he had and

:28:23. > :28:28.how well he got into a rhythm. normally horses don't win from that

:28:28. > :28:35.draw, but this guy, he's 50-1 possibly because he was drawn 2.

:28:35. > :28:40.Luke Morris is having a great time. Having a great time? Yes, very good

:28:40. > :28:45.jockey nowadays and it's only a matter of time before he see him in

:28:45. > :28:55.black tie braces. Desert Law, a good run from him and sprinting is

:28:55. > :28:55.

:28:55. > :29:01.his game. And Catfish, the thing I did notice about Catfish was that

:29:01. > :29:04.Michael Barzalona was losing his saddle. I don't know if that was an

:29:04. > :29:10.excuse earlier, but I saw that. Good on him for staying in the

:29:10. > :29:17.saddle which was not helping him. Luke Morris kissing the owners of

:29:17. > :29:22.Stone Of Folca. The Folkestone syndicate racers group. Thrilled

:29:22. > :29:32.for the owner who has a beautiful yard in Kent and does very well

:29:32. > :29:42.

:29:42. > :29:47.it is held by Indigenous, this is 0.09 of a second slower than

:29:47. > :29:53.Indigenous. That was hand-timed. This could be the fastest five ever

:29:53. > :30:00.This could be the fastest five ever run along this course.

:30:00. > :30:04.Well, I have the delighted winner on Connexions. He is very fast?

:30:04. > :30:08.very high-class two-year-old. He is back to form.

:30:08. > :30:13.To do it from stall two was a hell of a performance.

:30:13. > :30:17.John? You are delighted. That was a fantastic run? We thought he was a

:30:17. > :30:22.very good horse right from the early days. Things did not work out

:30:22. > :30:26.for us last year. It was always tough for him as a three-year-old.

:30:26. > :30:32.The ground was never right. His brain has not always been in the

:30:32. > :30:38.right place. Today, from stall two, I don't know how Luke managed to do

:30:38. > :30:46.it, but the horse is very, very quick. I have said it all along. A

:30:46. > :30:49.faster horse than King's Gate Native was. To get him there from

:30:49. > :30:57.stall two, on Derby Day as well, I could not be happier.

:30:57. > :31:03.So, he is in the King's Stand, are you taking on Black Cava? I think,

:31:03. > :31:08.I would say, we had him in there in case he came out and did this, we

:31:08. > :31:13.will take our chances. The problem is his brain. Mentally he is not

:31:13. > :31:16.good. Getting him on to the track is a nightmare. Like dealing with

:31:16. > :31:24.an untamed lion, but we did it today.

:31:24. > :31:28.Well, you all have a top hat and tail so, Royal Ascot, here you come.

:31:28. > :31:37.So, the winner of Investec Specialist Bank 'Dash' is Casey

:31:37. > :31:43.Stoner. There are many of bookmakers with

:31:43. > :31:47.smiling faces after that result, but maybe not so after Camelot.

:31:47. > :31:50.The horses of the Investec Derby are making their way into the

:31:50. > :31:55.paddock. The Aidan O'Brien runners are coming through. The third one

:31:55. > :31:59.along is the favourite, the red hot favourite, Camelot. It is the first

:31:59. > :32:05.glimpse that people will have of the favourite. At the moment he

:32:05. > :32:12.looks calm, collected, in good order. He looks in great shape. His

:32:12. > :32:16.skin is shining. He is unbeaten. Let's get the camera away from him.

:32:16. > :32:22.We don't want to cause trouble. The last horse to come through is

:32:22. > :32:29.Cavaleiro. That is for Marcus Tregoning.

:32:29. > :32:35.Camelot may be the one. He may be the one to follow up victory in the

:32:35. > :32:40.Investec Derby and then go on to complete the Triple Crown. No colt

:32:40. > :32:45.has done that since 1970, when a horse called Nijinsky won all three.

:32:45. > :32:51.He was undoubtedly a great Derby horse. Let's take a look at what

:32:51. > :32:56.that means. It's the ultimate test of a horse.

:32:56. > :32:59.It needs stamina and speed and balance and a very good mind.

:32:59. > :33:04.Stays the distance. Has the attitude to take on the big day.

:33:04. > :33:08.Keep his cool. Travel, you must travel. You can't be making up

:33:08. > :33:13.ground. Good horses have speed and stamina.

:33:13. > :33:19.The most mile-and-a-half Derby horses can win over six furlongs.

:33:19. > :33:22.It is a track that demands agility. They must be athletic. To have the

:33:22. > :33:26.speed to travel in the race. Without the speed to get into a

:33:26. > :33:30.good position that puts you back. That make it is difficult.

:33:31. > :33:33.A very high cruising speed. The ability to show speed and

:33:33. > :33:38.acceleration, but to get the distance.

:33:38. > :33:40.You need a horse that will then relax. The temperament to hold

:33:40. > :33:45.themselves together in a very intense atmosphere.

:33:45. > :33:50.You don't want a horse that is anxious. We have run horses where

:33:50. > :33:56.they are too keen, do too much too early and then cut out.

:33:57. > :34:00.They have to the balance at the turn, the stamina at the end.

:34:01. > :34:05.hill, then tight down hill. You must be well balanced to handle the

:34:05. > :34:11.track. If you are not, you are on the wrong leg, you are unbalanced

:34:11. > :34:15.and then all sorts of problems. That is why the Derby is such an

:34:15. > :34:19.amazing race, they have to have every ingredient to win.

:34:19. > :34:26.So, the first horses coming into the paddock.

:34:26. > :34:33.The tension really mounting now. Only minutes away.

:34:33. > :34:43.The Investec Derby of 2012. This year, the smallest field in 105

:34:43. > :34:46.

:34:46. > :34:49.years. Not since Aubury won in 1997 have we had such a small fieldment

:34:49. > :34:55.-- field, but they are quality runners. Let's have a look at the

:34:55. > :35:01.runners and the riders. Astrology. One of two in the race

:35:01. > :35:07.trained by Aidan O'Brien. Ridden by Ryan Moore.

:35:07. > :35:14.Bonfire, the second favourite. A good winner of the Dante Stakes at

:35:14. > :35:19.York. Number three, Camelot. The red hot

:35:19. > :35:25.favourite. Joseph O'Brien has a group one winner on the board.

:35:25. > :35:30.Four, Cavaleiro. Hayley Turner, the second woman to ride in the Derby.

:35:30. > :35:39.Five is Main Sequence, unbeaten colt, four out of four, the winner

:35:39. > :35:44.of the Lingfield Derby Trial. Mickdaam, winner of the Chester

:35:44. > :35:48.Trials. Ridden by Paul Hanagan. The first Derby ride.

:35:48. > :35:57.Minimise Risk. Ran no race when last in the chaster on heavy ground.

:35:57. > :36:04.Going better today. Number eight, Rugged Cross.

:36:04. > :36:08.Ridden by Dane O'Neill. Number nine, Thought Worthy, won the St Leger.

:36:08. > :36:13.They are the nine runners for this year's Derby.

:36:13. > :36:18.And down here in the paddock, the horses are parading around us.

:36:18. > :36:22.Everybody is abuzz. The Royal Party making their way down from the

:36:22. > :36:26.Royal Box. It is just the most gorgeous day. Perfect conditions.

:36:27. > :36:33.There is a breeze. It is not too close or warm.

:36:33. > :36:41.On their way down to the stables, Andrew Balding and his assistant

:36:41. > :36:44.trainer, Chris Bonner. The horse to be salded in the

:36:44. > :36:50.stables before coming to the paddock to ensure that nothing goes

:36:50. > :36:56.wrong. Bonfire, as we have explained can be a thinker. He

:36:56. > :37:00.likes to do things his own way. Every precaution is being taken,

:37:00. > :37:05.including bringing another horse here, Bonfire's work companion at

:37:05. > :37:13.home to be with him in the parade. To go down to the start where the

:37:13. > :37:19.head lad, Nigel Walker is to meet Bonfire to head to the stalls. So a

:37:19. > :37:24.lot for Andrew to think about and to keep them busy, that is for sure.

:37:24. > :37:29.Aidan O'Brien has a little bit of an easier time, Astrology looking

:37:29. > :37:34.calm as anything as Aidan O'Brien continues his tradition of saddling

:37:34. > :37:39.outside of the boxes. He likes to do it outside. Willie was saying

:37:39. > :37:43.earlier, how well his horses behave. They really seem to revel in the

:37:43. > :37:47.attention. To get space away from the runners. Astrology munching on

:37:47. > :37:50.the bit. His girth is tightened and Aidan

:37:50. > :37:55.O'Brien making the final preparations on the horse that we

:37:55. > :38:01.expect to be handy in the race, if not making the running there. To

:38:01. > :38:05.set a decent gallop. That is what he needs. It should ensure that

:38:05. > :38:09.Camelot, their big hope, does not get too keen in the race and

:38:09. > :38:16.everything pans out as they expect that it will.

:38:16. > :38:23.Aidan is reserved and does his tended way to be very lucky, lucky

:38:23. > :38:30.to have such a lovely horse in the race. It is Derrick who has said

:38:30. > :38:40.that they are going to win this. I'm sure it is a short price

:38:40. > :38:52.

:38:52. > :38:56.favourite? It is, these are the So, hugely short price odds-on for

:38:56. > :39:00.punters at home looking for value, that is not, but for the big money

:39:00. > :39:05.punters it is, they are confident to get a return from Camelot. A lot

:39:05. > :39:10.of people thinkering he cannot be beaten, but if we thought that for

:39:10. > :39:14.every odds-on horse for the race, we would never bother. Camelot

:39:15. > :39:19.looking cool. He is a real fiscal presence of a horse. A lovely

:39:19. > :39:29.stride on him. Power through the quarters. The second thigh there,

:39:29. > :39:31.

:39:31. > :39:38.the muscle is that that powers him He has a huge lung. The amount of

:39:38. > :39:42.air he can exhale and inhale in every stride. He is very impressive,

:39:42. > :39:47.isn't he? I was blessed to see him on Monday. I could not believe

:39:47. > :39:52.presence of the horse. He walked around like he owned the place.

:39:52. > :39:57.He is walking around this paddock as if he owns it too.

:39:57. > :40:02.That is a big lad this side of him, a big guy, he still does not make

:40:02. > :40:09.the horse look small. He is a monster and Joseph O'Brien is the

:40:09. > :40:14.man to get the leg up on board. He is nearly 6ft tall. He does a lot

:40:14. > :40:22.to keep his weight down. That is a rare drink for him. He must keep

:40:22. > :40:27.the weight down. It is a big frame to keep himself lean, but he is not

:40:27. > :40:31.dissimilar to Lester Piggott. Like Lester Piggott he could become a

:40:31. > :40:35.teenage winner of the Derby. Down in the stables far from the

:40:35. > :40:41.crowds, Bonfire is being saddled in the stables. So is Minimise Risk,

:40:41. > :40:47.both of the runners of Andrew Balding. It made more sense to take

:40:47. > :40:53.them saddled up down there. He has made the point come race day

:40:53. > :40:57.he has no problem with Bonfire, it is fine. Given that there is a lead

:40:57. > :41:02.horse. The problem is if no-one is leading them, he can whip around

:41:02. > :41:08.like a six pence. And the last thing you want is your

:41:09. > :41:13.horse galloping loose. We have had it once.

:41:13. > :41:18.Olivier Peslier has had it then. So Andrew is ensuring that nothing

:41:18. > :41:26.goes wrong before the race so that the 20 owners of Bonfire, the

:41:26. > :41:30.Highclere syndicate, so that they can enjoy this race. You know how

:41:30. > :41:35.excited the owners get. How much fun it is for them.

:41:35. > :41:38.This is a day you dream of. I'm sure that a lot of owners could not

:41:38. > :41:42.think with the possibility of winning the Derby.

:41:42. > :41:47.This is our gang. Her Majesty the Queen is coming into the paddock

:41:47. > :41:53.now to have a good look at these horses. Just nine runners. Camelot,

:41:53. > :42:03.the odds-on favourite. The one, I am sure, that the Queen will

:42:03. > :42:03.

:42:03. > :42:12.welcome at immediately and recognise. So well bred.

:42:12. > :42:16.He has been sired by Mangier. Camelot now being saddled.

:42:16. > :42:25.He is not turning a hair. Well, the jockeys are making their

:42:25. > :42:30.way out to the winner's en closure for the traditional pre-Derby photo.

:42:30. > :42:38.Yes, a great moment for any jockey to ride in the Derby. Just like you

:42:38. > :42:42.would have seen before the Grand National in April, they commemorate

:42:42. > :42:47.the days with a group photo. It is a nice touch it goes down well with

:42:47. > :42:55.the professionals. They love it Dane O'Neill on the left having his

:42:55. > :42:59.fifth ride in the Derby. Ted Durcan having his fifth. Down

:42:59. > :43:08.the front, Paul Hanagan, his first ride.

:43:08. > :43:13.Spence intense -- Jamie Spencer in the pink and the green jacket.

:43:13. > :43:16.On the right, Joseph O'Brien, his second ride in the Derby, riding

:43:16. > :43:20.the red hot favourite. Hayley Turner second from the right in the

:43:20. > :43:28.back. Here is Bonfire. He is finally

:43:28. > :43:35.leaving the stables, coming up to the paddock. Two people leading him.

:43:35. > :43:41.Taffy and I suspect Lee-Anne. Making sure he is surrounded by

:43:41. > :43:47.familiar faces and voices. In front of him is Minimise Risk.

:43:47. > :43:51.Andrew's other runner. A beautifully looking horse, but

:43:51. > :43:56.Bonfire, I was mentioning is owned by a gang of 20. They are all

:43:56. > :44:06.behind me here in the paddock. There are various levels of

:44:06. > :44:09.

:44:09. > :44:15.anticipation and excitement and Hi, there. You were bought in as a

:44:15. > :44:20.present? Yes, marvellous. I can't believe it, a tar by runner. With a

:44:20. > :44:23.chance?! With a chance! It's not like 1010-1 shot. I do hope Camelot

:44:23. > :44:28.understands that. You would all like your chance. For you, this is

:44:29. > :44:33.such a thrill. How has the day been so far? Building up to this moment,

:44:33. > :44:40.which is wonderful, can't believe we are here. We'll let you have a

:44:40. > :44:45.closer look at Bonfire, because he's there with Rishi. This one

:44:45. > :44:51.leading the way, trained by Clare's brother Andrew. Bonfire, nothing

:44:51. > :44:54.untoward, he's taking it all in. The ears are the signal. That is

:44:54. > :44:57.the signal that a horse is taking it all in, listening and paying

:44:57. > :45:02.attention. Now he's coming toward the camera. We'll keep a safe

:45:02. > :45:07.distance as he trots past. At the moment, as Clare will have seen as

:45:07. > :45:17.he left the stables on the way to the paddock, he looks lovely, calm

:45:17. > :45:18.

:45:18. > :45:22.and relaxed. So there is the wonderful trophy, a unique trophy

:45:22. > :45:27.it is as well. You know you've won the Derby if you've got one of

:45:27. > :45:33.those sitting in your drawing room. The guest of honour is our own

:45:33. > :45:39.Willie Carson who had 28 rides in the Derby. He won four of them and

:45:39. > :45:44.he was in the frame many, many times. A man who had an uncanny

:45:44. > :45:51.knack around this tricky course and the first man he meets is Jamie

:45:51. > :46:00.Spencer, a jockey he would have ridden against but he retired in

:46:00. > :46:10.1997. Bill yam Buick, Paul Hanagan, Ryan O'Neil. Ryan Moore I should

:46:10. > :46:12.

:46:13. > :46:18.say. And a kiss for the only lady. Joseph O'Brien just being given the

:46:18. > :46:23.Willie Carson treatment! Willie Carson I'm sure will offer

:46:23. > :46:26.words of encouragement to the jockeys. William Bewick making his

:46:26. > :46:30.way over to the Thought Worthy team and the owner, an immensely

:46:30. > :46:39.sporting man who's been a racehorse owner for many years and breeder as

:46:39. > :46:42.well. He's going to have a chat with William.

:46:42. > :46:47.William's giving me a really dirty look there saying, we won't listen

:46:47. > :46:51.in on them. We won't! William will explain to his owner George exactly

:46:51. > :46:54.what he's planning to do in the race. John Gosden train this is

:46:54. > :46:58.horse and ultimately, I think he'll end up being the horse who might be

:46:58. > :47:03.able to go even further than a mile and a half so they know his stamina

:47:03. > :47:08.will not be the problem and however strong a pace Astrology might set,

:47:08. > :47:14.I suspect he will not be too far behind it. Willie, did you enjoy

:47:14. > :47:20.your moment? Yes, told them all what to do. Had a good look at

:47:20. > :47:28.Camelot? Yes. There goes Main Sequence behind us getting a bit

:47:28. > :47:32.warm. Mickdaam. A Chester winner. He was quite light and lanky

:47:32. > :47:36.actually. He went round Chester on very bad ground. Exactly. Let's go

:47:36. > :47:43.back to the betting ring and see what news there is from John Parrot.

:47:44. > :47:53.Anything else being supported apart from Camelot? There's money now for

:47:54. > :48:05.

:48:05. > :48:09.Bonfire, I think the each way Bonfire is the each way thief.

:48:10. > :48:16.There is Bonfire, safely arrived in the paddock, seemingly behaving

:48:16. > :48:20.himself well at the moment, having a good look around. Taffy Cheshire

:48:20. > :48:25.keeping him just interest in what is going on around him but not

:48:25. > :48:29.getting him too wound up. He's a gorgeous looking horse, very pretty

:48:29. > :48:34.but has a very active brain and wants to know what is going on and

:48:34. > :48:38.oh my word, he moves well. Such a dainty mover when you see him

:48:38. > :48:44.canter down to the start, you will see the stride and see what you

:48:44. > :48:48.think. Maybe he's good enough, maybe not, because Camelot...

:48:48. > :48:54.ran yesterday. Yes. This is the Cavaleiro group. Hayley Turner gets

:48:54. > :49:00.her first ride in the Derby, trained by Marcus tregnifpbg, who's

:49:00. > :49:05.won the Derby with Sir Percy, the sire of Cavaleiro, so not

:49:05. > :49:11.dissimilar preparation Marcus, you look more relaxed. More so than you,

:49:11. > :49:15.the pressure is on. Don't you start, I'm being quite good I think?!

:49:15. > :49:20.hopefully Bonn fir will run well, Cavaleiro is in good form. We wish

:49:20. > :49:24.you well and Hayley well as well. Hayley, feeling all right? Yes,

:49:24. > :49:29.good actually, surprisingly chilled out. You haven't been checking your

:49:29. > :49:34.phone for texts and things? allowed them in the weighing room.

:49:34. > :49:37.It's all good, thanks. Hope you have a great ride. Thank you,

:49:38. > :49:43.cheers. Fabulous jockey Hayley and making

:49:43. > :49:51.history, the second female jockey to ride in the history after Alex

:49:51. > :49:55.Grieves in 1996 which was when I think maybe Sir Percy won it. The

:49:55. > :50:05.Queen's breeding adviser next to her and Prince Philip next to her

:50:05. > :50:06.

:50:06. > :50:11.as well. Examining the breeding of the horses. Let's find Rishi.

:50:11. > :50:15.Keep ago close eye on Bonfire for you. At this stage, Willie, there's

:50:15. > :50:20.nothing that looks untoward as regards his demeanour? Of course

:50:20. > :50:25.not, he looks absolutely fine. Got a lip chain on. Good looking?

:50:26. > :50:32.good looking horse. You can see the horse, look at his ears and eye and

:50:32. > :50:37.look at the ears. He's alert. he is, but he's sent all the people

:50:37. > :50:41.around the paddock to say look at me, aren't I a handsome beast.

:50:41. > :50:46.only you had the same ears you would be doing the same. Exactly.

:50:46. > :50:50.The horse behind Astrology, lovely relaxed big, strong colt? Very

:50:50. > :50:56.strong indeed. I don't know about going around Epsom. He just looks a

:50:56. > :51:02.bit heavy for Epsom. Went round Chester OK. That's turning. This is

:51:02. > :51:09.downhill with the big shoulders that he has. But he's a very

:51:09. > :51:15.relaxed one. Aid on Brian's are always relaxed. Camelot? -- Aidan

:51:15. > :51:20.O'Brien's horses are always well relaxed. Can you find any negatives

:51:20. > :51:28.about him? No, actually you saying small and compact. Normally that's

:51:28. > :51:33.what people say is best at Epsom. There you go. Number 5, he's

:51:33. > :51:39.getting a little warm, but is it anything to worry about? No, he's a

:51:39. > :51:43.big strong horse. He hasn't had a lot of racing, you know, he's

:51:44. > :51:50.unbeaten. He is. And he's a big strong lad, but might just lack

:51:50. > :51:55.experience. A big strong colt again. Thought Worthy, another one? Yes,

:51:55. > :52:00.he's going to stay, isn't he. He's got a lip chain on as well.

:52:00. > :52:05.would they put one on him? releases the endorphins out and

:52:05. > :52:09.gives them a very sleepy feeling while you have the chain. It goes

:52:09. > :52:15.across the top lip and just releases things and it makes them

:52:15. > :52:18.feel sorts of relaxed. It does a great job for going around the

:52:18. > :52:23.paddock in this sorts of circumstances. But you can see that

:52:23. > :52:28.most of the horses in the Derby here are, you know, behaving very,

:52:28. > :52:33.very well indeed. I don't think that you will be able to find a

:52:33. > :52:38.negative, not even you! You can let that go now. Horse 6 Mickdaam has

:52:38. > :52:43.had a lot of races this season, been campaigning out in Dubai, but

:52:43. > :52:48.seems to be thriving for it? looks one of the lightest horses in

:52:48. > :52:54.the paddock today, just looking a little bit fit. Too fit? I'm not

:52:54. > :52:59.saying too fit at all, but looks these he's 100% fit and he possibly

:52:59. > :53:04.might need a rest after today. last one I want to talk about is 8,

:53:04. > :53:09.Rugged Cross, a big price, but his trainer is a shrewd character,

:53:09. > :53:17.knows whether or not he has a good horse? Yes, his form doesn't

:53:17. > :53:22.suggest he'd win, but he's a small, nice, attractive colt. He's just a

:53:22. > :53:25.nice little horse. But his form suggests that he will be hard-

:53:25. > :53:29.pressed to get into any of the money today. So all in all, you are

:53:29. > :53:33.saying lots of positives, no negatives in the paddock?

:53:33. > :53:36.negatives that I can see, but you are always the person who just

:53:36. > :53:45.might find one. Of course, everybody says it's a penalty kick,

:53:45. > :53:48.the ball is on the spot! The ball may be on the spot but

:53:48. > :53:53.there is a mile and a half to negotiate and eight other runners

:53:53. > :53:58.of finely bred horses to be beaten. One is Main Sequence, the trainer

:53:58. > :54:03.just walking past us, who work ford five years as assistant to Henry

:54:03. > :54:09.Cecil. In the parade, won fire will be going last, with a horse

:54:09. > :54:15.accompanying him, Isfahan, who is his companion at home. Camelot,

:54:16. > :54:19.Joseph O'Briain is standing in the middle of the paddock delaying his

:54:19. > :54:24.association with Camelot, as it were, just delaying getting a leg

:54:24. > :54:29.up. You can see Joseph there in the trees and Aidan will come over to

:54:29. > :54:33.him in a minute and say, time to get on board, let's make this thing

:54:33. > :54:40.happen and find out whether this horse, Camelot, is as good as they

:54:40. > :54:43.all think he is at home and can he be the first colt since Nijinski to

:54:43. > :54:47.twin 2000 Guineas, the Derby and then have success in the St Leger,

:54:47. > :54:51.because that's the plan, to do something that none of the other

:54:52. > :55:01.current horses at stud, none of the other stallions have done. Bonfire

:55:02. > :55:05.

:55:05. > :55:09.coming across to take his position of expectation. Almost a hush

:55:09. > :55:14.around the paddock as everybody holds their breath. Thought Worthy

:55:14. > :55:22.getting on his toes walking behind Camelot and is sweating up a little

:55:22. > :55:28.bit just beginning to get a bit toey. The delay, the kind of horses

:55:28. > :55:37.know that something is about to happen. Camelot says, all right,

:55:37. > :55:44.let's just see what happens. Others want to know what is goings on.

:55:44. > :55:48.Part of the test, the men tall test for the horses is the parade in

:55:48. > :55:58.front of the grandstand -- mental test. They are welcomed by a

:55:58. > :56:16.

:56:16. > :56:22.Leading the parade is Astrology, a winner of the Dee Stakes at Chester

:56:22. > :56:27.last time around and the last winner to win this was one in 2030.

:56:27. > :56:34.Ryan Moore the only jockey in this field that's won the Derby before.

:56:34. > :56:39.Fol Loyeing him out is Cavaleiro at 33-1. He won the race with Sir

:56:39. > :56:45.Percy. -- following him out. Cavaleiro would have an outside

:56:45. > :56:51.chance, but not a complete no-hoper. Quite a gap and I have no idea

:56:51. > :56:59.which horse will come out next, but we'll see very shortly. And it's

:56:59. > :57:08.Main Sequence, the Lingfield winner last time out. Impressive turn of

:57:08. > :57:13.foot. He's gotten slightly warm in the paddock. I'm sure he'll settle

:57:13. > :57:17.down. This is Mickdaam with Paul Hanagan having his first Derby ride

:57:17. > :57:24.for Richard Fahey. He's been all over the world already. He's a bit

:57:24. > :57:34.of a traveller. This is Minimise Risk, the outsider of the field at

:57:34. > :57:38.

:57:38. > :57:45.66-1 in the colours there green and lilac. Needs to improve form-wise.

:57:45. > :57:50.Rugged Cross, Henry Candy's runner, probably the smallest of the colts.

:57:50. > :57:54.Very sweet looking. He will finish well beaten by Thought Worthy

:57:54. > :57:58.actually. If that worm were to be repeated, you would think this

:57:58. > :58:05.horse, Thought Worthy, would again finish in front of Rugged Cross.

:58:05. > :58:13.Just got a little wound up. William Bewick riding for John Gosden who

:58:13. > :58:18.ran this race with Benny The Dip before coming hear to the Derby,

:58:19. > :58:23.although this horse, Thought Worthy, had a run in-between. And there,

:58:23. > :58:27.that's actually Camelot, the odds on favourite. Joseph doing what he

:58:27. > :58:32.did on St Nicholas Abbey and taking the horse to the far rail. Pat

:58:32. > :58:38.Keating with him making sure his horse stays calm. And Bonfire

:58:39. > :58:43.making sure he goes into a canter sooner rather than later and that's

:58:44. > :58:46.Isfahan alongside him to give him company and to make him feel as if

:58:46. > :58:51.everything's all right. Jimmy Fortune saying to him, can you go

:58:51. > :58:55.in front of me and give me a lead so I can settle my horse in behind

:58:55. > :59:00.you. Bonfire fighting a little bit for his head but will drop it a

:59:00. > :59:03.little in a moment or two and Jimmy will take him steadily down to the

:59:03. > :59:13.start. It's Derby day, but it's Derby day with a difference because

:59:13. > :59:15.

:59:15. > :59:19.it's also the start of the Diamond days in the sporting calendar.

:59:19. > :59:23.Derby Day is a special national occasion. The royal association

:59:23. > :59:28.goes back 300 years. Her Majesty the Queen making her way to the

:59:28. > :59:33.attic. With the Jubilee celebrations only days away, it is

:59:33. > :59:37.a right royal occasion. A great moment in any year, but for the

:59:37. > :59:46.more so in the Jubilee year. Can he win the Derby for Her Majesty the

:59:46. > :59:53.Queen? It was neck and neck! It is going to be a royal victory, I

:59:53. > :59:57.think! Jubilee there seems to be everywhere. The day that Her

:59:57. > :00:07.Majesty the Queen tries not to miss. To top it all, their Majesty the

:00:07. > :00:09.

:00:09. > :00:13.the most famous shots you will see underneath the trees. You can say

:00:13. > :00:17.all the cars coming down, bringing the medical team, everybody

:00:17. > :00:22.involved with the start, just to make sure that everybody is in

:00:22. > :00:28.place. Any moment now, you should see the winner of the 2012 Derby

:00:28. > :00:35.coming over the hill. There will be nine of them, and they normally

:00:35. > :00:40.stop here, just let the horses relax. We are running a little bit

:00:40. > :00:44.late, but when you are trying to win a race like the Epsom Derby, an

:00:44. > :00:54.extra couple of minutes will not make any difference.

:00:54. > :01:12.

:01:12. > :01:18.Camelot remains the very strong motion. He was at the rear of the

:01:18. > :01:21.Praed, but both Camelot and Bonfire had permission to be at the rear,

:01:21. > :01:27.Sir Joseph O'Brien kept him right over against the far rail, away

:01:27. > :01:33.from the other horses. He seems to be perfectly relaxed as he strides

:01:33. > :01:40.up the hill now. There is Bonfire, who got the lead from Isfahan, his

:01:40. > :01:47.stablemate. Feet out of the irons, Jimmy Fortune, and Bonfire being

:01:47. > :01:53.led there, just trying to relax in, trying to reassure him that

:01:53. > :01:58.everything is OK. This is a big occasion, but this is that what he

:01:58. > :02:02.is here for, to race for a classic. This is still the most important

:02:02. > :02:08.Classic in racing. It is now back again as the richest race in

:02:08. > :02:12.Britain, and it is the pivotal race in the calendar in Europe still.

:02:12. > :02:21.Many big targets later in the year, but this is the classic, this

:02:21. > :02:25.decides the leader of a generation. We will soon see. The travelling

:02:25. > :02:30.head lad meeting and leading Bonfire down to the starting stalls,

:02:30. > :02:34.and when they open, we will find out if he is good enough to beat

:02:34. > :02:39.Camelot. Is he good enough to beat Astrology? Is he good enough to

:02:39. > :02:46.beat his stablemate, Minimise Risk? The confidence is leaving you!

:02:46. > :02:50.Getting nervous now, Willie! I am so excited and so thrilled that

:02:50. > :02:55.Derby Day is still this popular, that people want to be here. The

:02:55. > :03:05.Diamond Jubilee is a huge part of it, adding to the whole occasion,

:03:05. > :03:08.

:03:08. > :03:15.but they are here for the most how many people have found a spot.

:03:15. > :03:18.They are all around the rail, aren't they? It reminds me of when

:03:18. > :03:23.I won the 200 Derby on Troy, I could hear people shouting at

:03:23. > :03:28.Lester Piggott from a mile out, you could hear people on the side of

:03:28. > :03:34.the course. They were five or 60 all the way around to the mile, and

:03:34. > :03:38.some of them down to a mile and a quarter. You have got people right

:03:38. > :03:42.around the racecourse, and it just shows how popular horse racing is.

:03:42. > :03:46.And as a social occasion how much fun it is and how much they enjoy

:03:46. > :03:50.being close to the horses, watching them coming flying past, there is

:03:50. > :03:56.nothing like it. Joseph O'Brien, looking as cool as anything on

:03:56. > :04:05.Camelot. Very relaxed. He is such a good horseman. He was in the

:04:05. > :04:09.European Championships as an event of. He cannot do any more. Sarah is

:04:09. > :04:16.a good rider, both the girls are, actually. Both of them are very

:04:16. > :04:26.good horse women, and Camelot also been greeted by a member of the

:04:26. > :04:30.

:04:30. > :04:35.O'Brien team. He has just got a bit warmed up, Main Sequence. They have

:04:35. > :04:42.candida a hill for about a mile, so obviously they are not going to be

:04:42. > :04:46.a real cool as if they have come out of a shower. Cantering does

:04:46. > :04:51.take a lot, it makes you warm. There are many Derby trials, but

:04:51. > :04:55.the one which is a classic in its own right is the 2000 Guineas, and

:04:55. > :05:00.Camelot won that last time out to maintain his unbeaten record, and

:05:00. > :05:04.what a ride from Joseph O'Brien in terms of keeping cool. He sat near

:05:04. > :05:08.enough last and then came through the field. You can see the purple

:05:08. > :05:12.colours with white sleeves, Joseph starting to ask Camelot now to go

:05:12. > :05:19.through a narrow gap. It looked like he might not get heir in time,

:05:19. > :05:23.but you cannot pull him up. He was always going to win the race. Now

:05:23. > :05:33.he gets the horse into Top Gear, and look at him, he is going away

:05:33. > :05:37.from the rest of the field. The French horse... French 15. The runs

:05:37. > :05:45.tomorrow in the Prix du Jockey-Club, the French Derby. It could be a one

:05:45. > :05:51.to them -- there, and if this's wins here, it will be a shorter

:05:51. > :05:56.price tomorrow. But there is your horse, a Bonfire. He has got

:05:56. > :06:00.another lad to lead him, quite a long way to go. My brother Andrew

:06:00. > :06:04.is standing with Harry Herbert and the other owners. And there's my

:06:04. > :06:12.father, who won this race in 1971 with Mill Reef. My mother is just

:06:12. > :06:18.next to him. That looks like Nigel now, there is mam that looks like

:06:18. > :06:25.he is about to burst into tears, this will be hopeless! I hope I

:06:25. > :06:33.have that problem, but we will see! Will it be a balding afternoon? Not

:06:33. > :06:40.long to go. Room of Cavaleiro, tell us the story behind him. I used to

:06:40. > :06:45.do Sir Percy, his father, and I said to the head lad, I will do him,

:06:45. > :06:49.and look what havoc this was the one. We saw a lot of nervy grooms,

:06:49. > :06:54.but you looked very collected. Maybe because I am an outsider, I

:06:55. > :07:00.have not got as much pressure. But give him a lot of credit, he will

:07:00. > :07:05.not be at the back. Are you proud that he is here at Derby Day?

:07:05. > :07:08.takes a lot to get a horse here, there are only nine out of

:07:08. > :07:14.thousands of three-year-old. It is very good. What will you do if he

:07:14. > :07:19.wins? Not as bad as last time, I went running around like a lunatic.

:07:19. > :07:25.I am a bit more chilled this year. We can see some pictures are palely

:07:25. > :07:32.on Cavaleiro at the moment. I would rather kiss her than Martin Dwyer!

:07:32. > :07:38.Good luck. Thank you very much. Coming over the hill, I can just

:07:38. > :07:41.say the posse of the 2012 Derby. It is amazing, they come to this part

:07:41. > :07:47.and just eased their horses down and take their time coming down

:07:47. > :07:53.here. The winner of the Derby, it is such a huge thing for any horse

:07:53. > :07:57.to do. Right at the front, that is Astrology, Ryan Moore setting the

:07:57. > :08:03.pace for the boys, and it is pretty sedate now. They will be going

:08:03. > :08:07.slightly quicker on the way back. Joseph O'Brien, the 5th horse back,

:08:07. > :08:13.the purple colours, legs out, trying to keep tabs on Camelot,

:08:13. > :08:18.Keepin nice and relaxed. That is what it is all to do. You can just

:08:18. > :08:25.see Josef doing nothing out of the ordinary, very important at this

:08:25. > :08:28.stage not to upset the horse's rhythm. You can see right at the

:08:28. > :08:32.back, Paul Hanagan in that group. Another group is coming underneath

:08:32. > :08:42.the trees, and that is on fire. Clare will be very keen to know

:08:42. > :08:47.

:08:47. > :08:51.that he is nice and relaxed, up get a little bit warm now, sweating

:08:51. > :08:56.underneath his saddle, between his legs, starting to feel the pressure

:08:56. > :08:59.of the situation, but as long as he does not do anything silly and they

:08:59. > :09:02.getting into the stalls all right, we will find out. He has got to

:09:03. > :09:10.cope with this course, you have ridden it so many times and been

:09:10. > :09:16.successful four times, what are the challenges of riding around Epsom?

:09:16. > :09:20.Basically, you have to have a horse who has got speed and is brave. The

:09:20. > :09:25.speed to get you a good position, brave because other people will

:09:25. > :09:30.want the spot that you are in, you will get bumped. They run uphill.

:09:30. > :09:34.You cross over, you go from one side of the track to the other, and

:09:35. > :09:39.then basically from the mile and a quarter, all you are trying to do

:09:39. > :09:44.is let your horse off the hook, leave him, let him breathe, let him

:09:44. > :09:49.get to the top of the hill as easily as you can without using any

:09:49. > :09:53.energy, to get up to the seven furlong marker, and then, when you

:09:53. > :10:00.start turning, left-handed, the ground starts dropping away from

:10:00. > :10:04.you. You can see it, Tattenham Corner, the ground has really... It

:10:04. > :10:09.is a hill down, and when you get into the straight, that is when the

:10:09. > :10:14.race starts proper. You can see that the ground is still sloping

:10:14. > :10:18.down until the furlong marker, and then at the half furlong there is a

:10:18. > :10:22.sharp little rise up to the finish. And that allows some horses to make

:10:22. > :10:27.the ground in the dying strides, as Pour Moi did last year, and

:10:27. > :10:32.suddenly come and overtake the two horses in front of him, Treasure

:10:32. > :10:38.Beach and Carton House, a hugely dramatic finish to the race with an

:10:38. > :10:44.amazing turn of foot. Thought Worthy is just being wiped off,

:10:44. > :10:47.William Buick on board. It is one now, Clare, the sun is out. You

:10:47. > :10:53.have bought all the people shouting at them, they have not had that

:10:53. > :10:58.before. The horses have not got into any quiet part of the track.

:10:58. > :11:03.Back down to the start with Mick Fitzgerald. I am just looking over

:11:03. > :11:06.at Jimmy Fortune on Bonfire, he has got a smile from ear to ear, which

:11:06. > :11:12.I am sure Clare Balding will be very pleased to see, he looks nice

:11:12. > :11:16.and relaxed. If the jockey is relaxed, they transmitted to the

:11:16. > :11:22.horse. He is a little bit sweaty, but it is a warm day down here, so

:11:22. > :11:26.I would not be concerned. I think the horse looks pretty good, Clare.

:11:26. > :11:31.It is a relief to everybody who has backed him and his supporting him.

:11:31. > :11:35.A relief to his owners and his trainer as well. Bonfire will be

:11:35. > :11:40.led around into the stalls. My brother Andrew, his first runners

:11:41. > :11:45.in the race this year, he has also got Minimise Risk. He is seen in

:11:45. > :11:50.some of the big screen and saying get off me! The price is looking

:11:50. > :12:00.pretty interesting as well, the outsider is Minimise Risk. A quick

:12:00. > :12:12.

:12:12. > :12:17.look at the top of the betting. and Leger winner, also in the top

:12:17. > :12:22.half of the betting. A field of only nine, but a challenge ahead.

:12:22. > :12:26.The circumstances, the other horses, the course, the crowd, the distance,

:12:26. > :12:30.everything about his race that means the winner is exceptional.

:12:30. > :12:40.Were that the Camelot or one of the others? We can join Jim McGrath to

:12:40. > :12:46.

:12:46. > :12:52.find out, the moment of destiny Aidan O'Brien has had 41 runners

:12:52. > :12:59.since the last won the race and has been second in four of the last

:12:59. > :13:06.five derbies. Will Camelot join the greats? 19-year-old Joseph O'Brien

:13:06. > :13:10.in the saddle. He is brought forward now, he is locked away.

:13:10. > :13:20.Mickdaam is going to be the last run by the champion jockey, Paul

:13:20. > :13:25.

:13:25. > :13:30.ready. Set. They're racing in the Investec Derby of 2012. Cavaleiro.

:13:30. > :13:37.Minimise Risk up there in the early stages. Mickdaam is there as well

:13:37. > :13:41.and Main Sequence. On the far side, it's Astrology who goes on. Takes

:13:41. > :13:47.it up clearly from Thought Worthy. Also up there is Rugged Cross.

:13:47. > :13:56.Cavaleiro on the near side in company with Mickdaam. All the time

:13:56. > :14:01.they're climbing. Main Sequence, Bonfire. Camelot with Minimise Risk.

:14:01. > :14:07.Astrology going on by a couple of lengths and doing it well too,

:14:08. > :14:17.setting a very brisk pace. Rugged Cross on the inside rail. Hayley

:14:17. > :14:21.Turner holding her ground. Bonfire. Mickdaam, Main Sequence. At the

:14:21. > :14:25.rear of the field, Camelot on the outside and last is Minimise Risk.

:14:25. > :14:31.All the time they are climbing in the Derby. Astrology out in front

:14:31. > :14:35.for Ryan Moore leads by a couple of lengths. A length and a half

:14:35. > :14:41.further back is Rugged Cross at the inside.

:14:41. > :14:49.Bonfire has improved his place. A length further back is Cavaleiro.

:14:49. > :14:55.Followed by Main Sequence. Mickdaam. Minimise Risk. Steadying now,

:14:55. > :15:01.starting to run downhill in the darbifplt the leader is Astrology -

:15:01. > :15:06.- Derby. Rugged Cross on the inside of Bonfire who's beautifully poised.

:15:06. > :15:10.Cavaleiro followed next in the field by Main Sequence. At the rear,

:15:10. > :15:15.Camelot is now eased to the outside and, with about seven lengths to

:15:15. > :15:18.make up as they run down Tattenham corner, it's Astrology on the

:15:18. > :15:23.inside. Astrology just the leader, but Thought Worthy coming at him.

:15:23. > :15:28.Two or three lengths in front of Rugged Cross. In the centre

:15:28. > :15:35.battling away is bonbon Bonn. O'Brien gets to work on Camelot,

:15:35. > :15:41.calls on his colt for an effort. Astrology, he's getting away from

:15:41. > :15:47.him. Camelot is turning on the heat. Starting to run at Astrology.

:15:47. > :15:53.Camelot goes up. Camelot takes the lead from the stable mate Astrology.

:15:53. > :15:59.He then starts to draw away, the first father son combination to win

:15:59. > :16:04.the Derby, Aidan and Joseph O'Brien, tight second. Main Sequence on the

:16:04. > :16:11.near side. Just got up to beat Astrology, a gap in the field

:16:11. > :16:17.behind them was Mickdaam. Followed by Bonfire, Cavaleiro among the

:16:17. > :16:21.tail Enders. But Camelot, the 13-8 on favourite, has don it! Aidan

:16:21. > :16:25.O'Brien and Joseph O'Brien go into the history books as the first

:16:25. > :16:31.father son trainer jockey combination to have landed the

:16:31. > :16:34.Derby and Camelot is part of Derby legend. Officially photo for second

:16:34. > :16:38.but looks like Main Sequence has got up on the near side from

:16:38. > :16:45.Astrology. We'll have a look at that in a moment.

:16:45. > :16:50.Here is the outcome. Here it is. Second number 5 Main Sequence,

:16:50. > :17:00.third number 1 Astrology and fourth is number 9, Thought Worthy. So,

:17:00. > :17:00.

:17:00. > :17:10.Camelot the favourite has won it. Camelot, trained by aid Aidan

:17:10. > :17:11.

:17:11. > :17:14.O'Brien, ridden by his son Joseph. He has created history by winning

:17:14. > :17:21.quite comfortably in the end in the coolest ride you will see for a

:17:21. > :17:28.long, long time. Don't forget it was only three years and five days

:17:28. > :17:32.since Joseph O'Brien actually rode his first winner. Main Sequence

:17:32. > :17:37.just getting up for second, just ahead of Astrology. And then

:17:37. > :17:44.Thought Worthy back in fourth place, there followed by Mickdaam. Further

:17:44. > :17:50.back, Bonfire, given every chance in a nice position. Followed by

:17:50. > :17:57.Minimise Risk and Rugged Cross and Cavaleiro.

:17:57. > :18:02.Five lengths and a short head were the distances, 233.90 the time and

:18:02. > :18:06.Aidan O'Brien's third Derby winner, his first with Galileo in 2001, his

:18:06. > :18:13.second with high chaparral in the fold lowing year, and this, without

:18:13. > :18:19.doubt, will be the proudest moment of his racing life. Here is Rishi

:18:19. > :18:23.talking to Joseph O'Brien. Just trying to grab a word with you,

:18:23. > :18:30.Joseph. Fantastic performance from the horse. Were you ever worried at

:18:30. > :18:34.all? I was a little bit. Didn't come down the hill at all. He

:18:34. > :18:40.didn't do it for a while but he wanted to win today. He had a bit

:18:40. > :18:46.of ground to make up, but what he did from down the top of the hill,

:18:46. > :18:56.as he came down into the home straight, how did that feel, aboard

:18:56. > :18:57.

:18:57. > :19:03.him? He's a very special horse. I feel very, very special to be on

:19:03. > :19:09.board him. Thank you to everyone. Your Father, yourself, the first

:19:09. > :19:13.father son combination to win it. Thank you. Well done. Thanks.

:19:13. > :19:17.19 years old and now so much he's already achieved in this sport.

:19:17. > :19:21.It's extraordinary, the emergence of Joseph O'Brien and for Aidan

:19:21. > :19:26.O'Brien, that now completes all four classics that have so far been

:19:26. > :19:30.run in this country. He won the 2thouzginnees with Camelot, the

:19:30. > :19:34.Oaks yesterday with waz, today the Derby with Camelot and they will, I

:19:34. > :19:41.am sure, confirm in the winners enclosure that they are going for

:19:41. > :19:47.the St Leger -- 2000 Guineas with Camelot, the Oaks yesterday with

:19:47. > :19:53.Was. That would be the all- conquering thing for the Daly Doyle

:19:53. > :19:59.team. It's not a bad story this, add into the mix the father/son

:19:59. > :20:04.making history, and it's a great story. I must give full marks to

:20:04. > :20:09.this young jockey. He was so cool, he sat out the back. This is, don't

:20:09. > :20:15.forget, the most important race of the whole year. I know he's got a

:20:15. > :20:21.pacemaker, but he had to be so cool coming down into Tattenham corner

:20:21. > :20:26.and not panic and go. He waited and he waited and it looked as though

:20:26. > :20:30.he might just have waited too far, but no! He had timed it absolutely

:20:30. > :20:36.with perfection. And that man there who you saw celebrating, Derek

:20:36. > :20:39.Smith, finally sees his colours come home in front in the Investec

:20:40. > :20:43.Derby, he's finished second in this race five times the last four years

:20:43. > :20:46.running he's finished second, treasure Beach not beaten far this

:20:46. > :20:56.year. Her Majesty the Queen looking down and she'll be thrilled that

:20:56. > :21:06.this horse, like her horse, Motivator... She'll be working out

:21:06. > :21:06.

:21:06. > :21:13.everything... Camelot will inherit, I'm sure in time, that mantle of

:21:13. > :21:17.the previous winner who died last year. How exciting this that horse

:21:18. > :21:25.is going to ride in St Leger, that will be the first triple crown

:21:25. > :21:30.winner since 1971. 1970. Nijinski. Let's go back to Rishi to get some

:21:30. > :21:34.news of the beaten horses. Before I do, I've got the very,

:21:34. > :21:38.very proud mum, congratulations. Thank you, thank you, I can't

:21:38. > :21:45.believe it, it's amazing. What was watching that like in the closing

:21:45. > :21:50.stages? Torture, yes, but I met Lester Pigott last weekend and he

:21:50. > :21:54.said tell Joseph don't be in any hurry, so I knew when he had time

:21:54. > :21:59.coming it was perfectly timed. Incredible. Congratulations, off

:21:59. > :22:06.you go to welcome him back. Well done.

:22:06. > :22:12.So, he comes back, a magnificent five length winner of the Investec

:22:12. > :22:22.Derby of 2012. And what a performance. When you consider this

:22:22. > :22:23.

:22:23. > :22:33.colt, he's unbeaten in four starts, had four classic winners now.

:22:33. > :22:34.

:22:34. > :22:39.Joseph O'Brien had his first ride in a race only three years ago. He

:22:39. > :22:46.was aged 16 years and one day then. Won his first race only four days

:22:46. > :22:55.later. Go on three years and here he is landing the biggest, most

:22:55. > :23:00.important race in the world, the Epsom Derby. And the horse who's

:23:00. > :23:04.got huge talent. No doubt about that. With his bloodlines, you are

:23:04. > :23:10.expecting him to be able to make a name for himself over a mile and

:23:10. > :23:15.three quarters in the ledger if they decide to go in that direction

:23:15. > :23:21.-- the St Leger. They've already indicated they would like it to be

:23:22. > :23:29.the triple crown winner. And into the winners enclosure, this very

:23:29. > :23:38.special place, with a horse who's entered Derby legend in front of

:23:38. > :23:44.Her Majesty the Queen. There he is. A magnificent horse. Proud owners,

:23:44. > :23:52.Derek Smith's had 100 group 1 wins which is an extraordinary effort,

:23:52. > :23:57.an extraordinary achievement considering he came into the racing

:23:57. > :24:01.in the year of George Washington colt which is not that long ago. As

:24:01. > :24:06.I said beforehand, it had been a long time for Aidan O'Brien and a

:24:06. > :24:13.frustrating time for him in the Derby having been placed second in

:24:13. > :24:17.four of the last five Derbies. It was becoming a very frustrating

:24:17. > :24:25.experience for him. But he always had confidence in this colt and

:24:25. > :24:29.spoke of him as being something special. He is. The man whose

:24:29. > :24:33.colours were carried to victory is here. Derek Smith, we have spoken

:24:33. > :24:37.to you twice now after the Oaks and the Coronation Cup but this is the

:24:37. > :24:43.one you wanted? This is the one everyone wants. It's not a dream

:24:43. > :24:47.because I could never have dreamt I'd do it. Unbelievable. To win the

:24:47. > :24:52.English Derby was and is a dream come true. What a ride from young

:24:52. > :24:56.Joseph? What a ride and what a horse! He had to travel so easy,

:24:56. > :25:01.come down the outside and you could see it was all over.

:25:01. > :25:05.How do you feel being part of this set-up and this now your 100th

:25:05. > :25:09.Group 1 winner with which you have been personally associated. How has

:25:09. > :25:12.this changed your life? I've had such fun out of it, much

:25:12. > :25:16.appreciation to John and the team at Cornwall. They are a fantastic

:25:16. > :25:21.team of people. To be in ownership with the likes of John and Michael

:25:21. > :25:25.is everything. To be here with your family - I must say hello to my

:25:25. > :25:29.wife who's at home not very well and couldn't travel - hello and

:25:29. > :25:36.well done! It's great to be here and to be part of it. What now is

:25:36. > :25:41.the triple crown on the agenda? suppose it must be, mustn't it!? We

:25:41. > :25:46.may get pressurised into it but John and I will talk with Michael

:25:46. > :25:50.and Aidan and decide. I'll let you pose for the photograph I know you

:25:50. > :25:53.will treasure for the rest of your life as he joins his co-owners of

:25:53. > :25:56.this extraordinary horse,ical lot. What a performance that was. For

:25:56. > :26:01.all the confidence in him beforehand and through his two-

:26:01. > :26:04.year-old career and over the winter, he still had to come here and do it

:26:04. > :26:09.and cope with the whole occasion, make sure he had the clean run

:26:09. > :26:14.through that Joseph managed to negotiate to try and come and cope

:26:14. > :26:21.with the track. Joseph there going into the jockeys' room and making

:26:21. > :26:26.his way through. A price I'm sure I'll be given now, what price?

:26:26. > :26:31.on Camelot is to complete the triple crown and do what no colt

:26:31. > :26:41.has done since Nijinski and add the St Leger to the 2000 Guineas and

:26:41. > :26:44.

:26:44. > :26:54.the Derby. Let's confirm the one, two, three for you. Let's also

:26:54. > :27:07.

:27:07. > :27:11.of attention on beforehand, Connections said he didn't handle

:27:11. > :27:15.coming down the hill. Ryan Moore who rode Astrology put in a good

:27:16. > :27:23.performance and said he got tired. Hayley Turner aboard Cavaleiro

:27:23. > :27:33.simply not good enough. Ted Durkan and lan began ran a cracking race -

:27:33. > :27:37.

:27:37. > :27:44.- Lanagan ran a cracking race, no real excuses in finishing second.

:27:44. > :27:50.As for Thought Worthy, representing Connections of John Bewick and John

:27:50. > :27:55.Gosden, they think the St Leger will be his ultimate target. John

:27:55. > :27:59.magistrate ner with me now, the senior figure from the Ballydoyle

:27:59. > :28:04.team -- Magner. Of the good horses you have seen in your time, where

:28:04. > :28:07.does he rate? Clearly, he must be right there. I don't want to say

:28:07. > :28:11.too much about him because it would sound kuend of Boastful but it's

:28:11. > :28:17.there for everybody to see really and we are just fortunate to have

:28:17. > :28:22.anything to do with him, especially in the year when his father died,

:28:22. > :28:25.so it's particularly important. the son of a winner, I suppose

:28:25. > :28:29.he'll inherit the mantling at your stud, but between now and then,

:28:29. > :28:33.there are races to be won and a name for him to be made in his own

:28:33. > :28:38.right, so what happens next? Absolutely, we are going to have to

:28:38. > :28:42.take it race by race and we are going to have to give it a lot of

:28:42. > :28:46.thought. Do you want to win the triple crown with him? Well,

:28:46. > :28:49.wouldn't anybody. It's interesting though because not many people have

:28:49. > :28:55.attempted it and you have that chance with this horse? We are all

:28:55. > :28:59.so old now, these things get to mean more when you are older. If

:28:59. > :29:07.you asked me 30 years ago, I would have looked the other way, but

:29:07. > :29:11.we'll see what Michael and Derreck say about it. You did this with

:29:11. > :29:14.Pour Moi last year. With age does that mean more too? We are just

:29:14. > :29:19.going through a good patch at the moment on the other hand can happen

:29:19. > :29:23.and it comes and gs so we have to saver the moment. Enjoy it. Thank

:29:23. > :29:28.you very much -- comes and goes so we have to savour the moment. For

:29:28. > :29:38.Aidan O'Brien, it's ten years since he last won the Derby, so a moment

:29:38. > :29:39.

:29:39. > :29:49.classics are concerned this year in Great Britain. As he can say, he is

:29:49. > :29:58.

:29:58. > :30:02.heading for a clean sweep, Aidan package, won the 1,000 Guineas.

:30:02. > :30:08.Camelot is completing the classic double by winning the Double. Now,

:30:08. > :30:11.the St Leger, they are talking about that, when you go back to

:30:11. > :30:21.Nijinski's day, there were plenty of other options. Let's see what

:30:21. > :30:30.

:30:30. > :30:35.Royal Highnesses, lords, ladies and gentlemen, the presentation of the

:30:35. > :30:38.2012 Investec Derby, and are on the stage to make the presentation we

:30:38. > :30:42.have the captain of the Great Britain hockey team who will be

:30:42. > :30:48.competing in the Olympics later this summer, Kate Walsh, and

:30:48. > :30:54.without the net dans des Arkan de from the sponsors, Investec. What a

:30:54. > :30:59.race horse we have witnessed. Add the Derby to his success in the

:30:59. > :31:04.2000 Guineas, he may become the first colt to complete the Triple

:31:08. > :31:14.winner in a row, having taken it last year with Pour Moi, but this

:31:14. > :31:24.time in the colours of Derek Smith, so lead-up the triumvirate of

:31:29. > :31:33.owners, Derek Smith, John Lydon and It has so far been a sensational

:31:33. > :31:37.year for the team, and in particular for their trainer, Aidan

:31:37. > :31:43.O'Brien, who has won the 1,000 Guineas, the 2000 Guineas, the Oaks

:31:43. > :31:51.and Derby, his first Derby success for 10 years. Ladies and gentlemen,

:31:51. > :31:57.the winning trainer, Aidan O'Brien! He is joined by his wife, a huge

:31:58. > :32:03.part of the team, and death this is an especially magical moment,

:32:03. > :32:08.because for the very first time in 233 years of Derby history, this is

:32:08. > :32:14.the first time that a man who has trained the winner has had the

:32:14. > :32:24.winner ridden by his son, 19-year- old Joseph O'Brien, what a

:32:24. > :32:34.

:32:34. > :32:38.The 233rd running of history, but this is the team who can celebrate

:32:38. > :32:48.the stunning success of the Investec Derby winner 2012, a

:32:48. > :32:58.

:32:58. > :33:03.legendary place, a real horse, So these scenes in the Enclosure

:33:03. > :33:09.after the presentations, and look at that unique trophy. That is

:33:09. > :33:19.something coveted by all owners in the game, and a great moment for

:33:19. > :33:21.

:33:21. > :33:27.the Coolmore triumvirate. They have really dominated in recent seasons,

:33:27. > :33:37.and this horse is going to be something very, very special for

:33:37. > :33:37.

:33:37. > :33:43.Derby, and one of the benefits of a small field is that they do not get

:33:43. > :33:48.in each other's way. Camelot has a stablemate in the field he will be

:33:48. > :33:52.making the running, and Joseph O'Brien plays it simple. He has the

:33:52. > :33:56.best horse and he keeps him at the back and he keeps him wide, no

:33:56. > :34:01.problems. They seemed to go at a nice even pace, which is just what

:34:01. > :34:04.you want. As they settle down, we will play through the first 20

:34:04. > :34:10.seconds, Astrology in front, Thought Worthy going through next

:34:10. > :34:17.to him in second position, and the first and second horses towards the

:34:17. > :34:21.rear. That is the winner, Camelot. The third is up in front, being

:34:21. > :34:24.chased through by Thought Worthy. Let's move on into the home

:34:24. > :34:31.straight, and coming around the outside here is your winner,

:34:31. > :34:36.Camelot. Main Sequence, the runner up, is right next to him. William

:34:36. > :34:40.Buick has obviously taken on Astrology early, he knows he

:34:40. > :34:44.released days, no point in waiting for others to come past you.

:34:44. > :34:48.Absolutely, you have got to ride the's to the best of his ability,

:34:48. > :34:53.and that is what William Buick has done. On this occasion, it did not

:34:53. > :34:57.work out. But just look at Camelot bearing down on his stablemate.

:34:57. > :35:00.Joseph O'Brien just giving him a couple of little flicks to

:35:00. > :35:06.concentrate his mind. He knows he has still got a way to go.

:35:06. > :35:10.Interesting as well from the Newmarket win, he lengthens,

:35:10. > :35:15.doesn't he? He is a high-class horse but he needs time to get up

:35:16. > :35:21.to top speed. No doubt about it, a very high-class performance from a

:35:21. > :35:31.very high class horse. He is going to dominate the ranks, he could be

:35:31. > :35:32.

:35:32. > :35:38.really will hold on to it and say that, just a tremendous drive, at

:35:38. > :35:41.Joseph is so polite and deferential and kept saying thank you to the

:35:41. > :35:45.owners for giving him the opportunity, for allowing him to

:35:45. > :35:52.ride these good horses, and he has repaid their good faith with a

:35:52. > :35:58.textbook drive. He said the horse did not come down the hill, and it

:35:58. > :36:02.looked as though he was as cool as cool could be. He waited until he

:36:02. > :36:08.got into the straight, eased into the outside and said, go on, son,

:36:08. > :36:12.you have got your stable-companion 10 lengths in front, go and get him.

:36:12. > :36:17.He just gradually asked him to stretch and stretch. Paul Smith,

:36:17. > :36:22.Derek's son, giving Aidan O'Brien a hug. There will be lots of

:36:22. > :36:25.celebrations. They deserve a party, because that is a very special

:36:25. > :36:29.horse, and he was given a very special right by that young boy.

:36:29. > :36:34.You can keep an eye on Joseph O'Brien through Royal Ascot, which

:36:34. > :36:37.will be our next flat racing coverage. He will probably see a

:36:37. > :36:42.friend of inaction in the first race and of the Thursday. That is

:36:42. > :36:48.coming after the European Championships, which starts on

:36:48. > :36:53.Friday, Poland against Greece. Then five days of top-class flat racing

:36:53. > :36:57.at Royal Ascot, Group One races, black caviar coming over from

:36:58. > :37:03.Australia, Frankel on show, we have got everything. Fantastic first day,

:37:04. > :37:09.it will be something special. Really! It will. It has been a

:37:10. > :37:15.fabulous day, gorgeously sunny in the end. In 1900, a horse called
