:10:12. > :10:17.who has entered Derby legend. man whose colours were carried to
:10:17. > :10:21.victory, Derrick Smith, we have spoken to you twice now after the

:10:27. > :10:32.everybody wants in racing. It's not a dream, I never believed I could
:10:32. > :10:38.do it. Unbelievable. To win the English Derby is a dream come true.
:10:38. > :10:44.What a ride from young Joseph? a ride. What a horse. To travel so
:10:44. > :10:51.easy in the early part of the race, go to the outside. From the three
:10:51. > :10:56.poe it was all over. John Magnier with me now. What a horse this is.
:10:56. > :11:03.Of the good horses you have seen where does he rate? He must be
:11:03. > :11:08.right there. I wouldn't want to say too much about him, it would sound
:11:08. > :11:14.boostful. Is it's there for everyone to see. We are fortunate
:11:14. > :11:17.to have anything to do with him. you want to win the Triple Crown?
:11:18. > :11:22.Wouldn't anybody. Not many people have attempted it. You have that

:11:28. > :11:34.If you asked me 30 years ago, I would of looked the other way. We

:12:20. > :12:25.brilliant, Camelot. APPLAUSE
:12:25. > :12:29.The principal race for older horses was the Diamond Jubilee Coronation
:12:29. > :12:37.Cup named in honour of Her Majesty's celebrations. We found a
:12:37. > :12:42.race card from 1953 in which the Queen's horse finished second. The
:12:42. > :12:50.following year the horse came back and won it, who would win it this
:12:50. > :12:55.time around? The favourite was St Nicholas Abbey. His main opposition
:12:55. > :13:00.seemed to be Beaten Up. Johnny Murtagh was on board. The last time
:13:00. > :13:05.he ran he was well behind St Nicholas Abbey. Another content
:13:05. > :13:14.Nicholas Abbey. Another content tender was Masked Marvel. He was
:13:14. > :13:22.expected to do much better this time around. Robin Hood, Masked
:13:22. > :13:24.Marvel, then Quest For Peace, followed by Beaten Up, who is in
:13:24. > :13:29.behind Quest For Peace. Then St Nicholas Abbey, spotting his
:13:29. > :13:33.pacemaker about ten lengths at this stage. Red Cadeaux still at the
:13:33. > :13:39.tail of the field. As they race towards the highest point of the
:13:39. > :13:43.course. To free wheel down Tattenham Hill. Robin Hood by five
:13:43. > :13:47.lengths to Masked Marvel in second. In third is the white cap of Quest
:13:47. > :13:52.For Peace, two lengths away then is Beaten Up, followed by Red Cadeaux,
:13:52. > :13:57.just moving through on the inside to just shade St Nicholas Abbey,
:13:57. > :14:01.who is held up at the rear. He is riding a confident race from the
:14:01. > :14:06.back. As they race down to Tattenham Corner, Robin Hood has
:14:06. > :14:10.got right awaifplt he is eight lengths in front. Setting a gallop
:14:10. > :14:17.here from Masked Marvel in second. In third is Quest For Peace. Now,
:14:17. > :14:22.starting to ease to the outside ibg St Nicholas Abbey. -- is St
:14:22. > :14:27.Nicholas Abbey. Into the home straight, he got there in two
:14:27. > :14:30.bounds O'Brien. St Nicholas Abbey raced up to take the lead from
:14:30. > :14:34.Masked Marvel. Robin Hood in his stride. Further back is Quest For
:14:34. > :14:38.Peace and Red Cadeaux running on well. It's St Nicholas Abbey the
:14:38. > :14:42.leader with a furlong to go. He is four lengths in front of Masked
:14:42. > :14:47.Marvel. Red Cadeaux into third and Quest For Peace. As they race up
:14:47. > :14:52.now towards the line, it's St Nicholas Abbey who will go on and
:14:52. > :14:55.make it back-to-back wins in the Coronation Cup, the Diamond Jubilee
:14:55. > :14:59.Coronation Cup won by St Nicholas Abbey, Red Cadeaux good run second.
:14:59. > :15:09.In third Masked Marvel, followed in fourth then by Quest For Peace and
:15:09. > :15:48.
:15:48. > :15:54.a long gap to Beaten Up and last is From the way that I feel when the
:15:54. > :16:04.bell starts to peel, I could swear I was falling, I could swear I was
:16:04. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :16:11.falling, I could swear that I was falling, falling in love!
:16:11. > :16:21.Thanks very much for entertaining the crowds here at Epsom. Now the
:16:21. > :16:33.
:16:33. > :16:40.The fugue was running with the colours of Lord Lloyd Webber. Last
:16:40. > :16:45.year's winning combination was hoping that lightning would strike
:16:45. > :16:51.with A vow. Another contender was Was which cost 1.2 million Guineas.
:16:51. > :17:01.There was drama at early on in the race as William Bewick encounter at
:17:01. > :17:05.
:17:05. > :17:12.serious interference and did very their -- at the rear of the field,
:17:12. > :17:18.another horse was badly squeezed between May be and Devotion. We
:17:18. > :17:28.will join the action at the top of the hill with Jim.
:17:28. > :17:40.
:17:40. > :17:46.The leader is by a narrow length- Coleen, from sirocco, staff. The
:17:47. > :17:55.Feud is well back in the field. On the inside Devotion followed by
:17:55. > :18:05.Maybe. Steady now as they are running down Tattenham Hale. The
:18:05. > :18:05.
:18:05. > :18:14.pink cap of Twell followed on the inside I Was. Nicely poised his Vow.
:18:14. > :18:24.Their run-down Tattenham Corner. The Fugue is 10 lengths behind the
:18:24. > :18:35.
:18:35. > :18:44.leader. Out the back Kalyani. Here down the outside. Was has gone down
:18:44. > :18:54.on the inside to take the lead from Val. The Few write down the outside.
:18:54. > :19:16.
:19:16. > :19:25.-- of the fugue. Was is going to filly by Galileo, number 14 Was.
:19:25. > :19:30.One of the quintet trained by Aidan What a fabulous couple of days it
:19:30. > :19:38.has been for the O'Brien team but particularly for Joseph O'Brien.
:19:38. > :19:43.Only 19 years of age but nerves of steel but with talent. He gets the
:19:43. > :19:48.nerves from the animals. He is riding very good cattle, as it were.
:19:48. > :19:53.Today I was very impressed by the way he wrote that horse. He gave
:19:53. > :19:59.plenty of time. He was a long way behind his pacemaker and he just
:19:59. > :20:04.gave the horse all the time to get himself sorted out, get himself
:20:05. > :20:10.balanced when he got into the straight. Even I, at 50 years of
:20:10. > :20:18.age, I would have been struggling to wait that long. His first words
:20:18. > :20:23.when he got off the horse was he didn't come down the hill. He has
:20:23. > :20:26.ridden a very good race but we know that. He is only 19. He doesn't
:20:26. > :20:31.know what can go wrong in a horse race because everything he has done
:20:31. > :20:36.so far has gone right for him. He has won a Breeders' Cup which is
:20:36. > :20:41.the biggest accolade that any jockey can do. Apart from the
:20:42. > :20:47.Derby? Of course, and now he has done that as well. The jockey,
:20:47. > :20:54.first class. The horse, isn't he out of this world? A champion two-
:20:54. > :20:58.year-old, top-rated two-year-old, runs in the 2000 Guineas first time
:20:58. > :21:04.out he wins that from coming from behind. Then the Derby and he wins
:21:04. > :21:14.that as well. An exciting time not just for the Jockey but also for
:21:14. > :21:17.
:21:17. > :21:21.Camelot. Take a look at his He has got a lot of stamina. We are
:21:21. > :21:25.trying to work out where Camelot might run in the future. There is
:21:26. > :21:35.talk that he could be the first Triple Crown winner since Nijinsky
:21:35. > :21:42.in... 1970. Correct. Do you think that is a possibility? I think so.
:21:42. > :21:48.I really do think they have got a horse. He has done it at two, he
:21:48. > :21:53.has won the 2000 Guineas, one mile. Then he has come on and won the
:21:53. > :21:59.Derby. He is a stamina horse. He will go on and win the St Leger and
:21:59. > :22:03.he will be the greatest horse since Nijinsky. What more can a horse
:22:03. > :22:10.have to go to stud with? The credentials are fantastic. We will
:22:10. > :22:15.be seeing a lot of the good horses at Royal Ascot starting on Tuesday
:22:15. > :22:20.19th June. It finishes on Saturday the 23rd with the Diamond Jubilee
:22:20. > :22:28.Stakes in which the top Australian sprinter makes her first appearance
:22:28. > :22:33.It is an absolute pleasure to welcome the first father-son
:22:33. > :22:36.winning combination to the studio with us now. Aidan O'Brien and
:22:36. > :22:42.Joseph. Aden, in your wildest dreams, watching this young lad
:22:42. > :22:49.growing up, could you ever imagine a day like this? It is one of those
:22:49. > :22:53.days beyond dreams, but you dare to dream of. It is incredible. Joseph,
:22:53. > :22:59.you have been coming to the Derby since you were a little boy, could
:22:59. > :23:04.you have thought of this day happening? Never. I never let
:23:04. > :23:10.myself dream about winning the Derby. Camelot is an exceptional
:23:10. > :23:16.horse and I was very lucky. A lot of horses did not handle the hill,
:23:17. > :23:20.Bonfire did not handle it. You said when you got off, he did not handle
:23:20. > :23:26.the hill either so how magnificent of force was it from Camelot this
:23:26. > :23:32.afternoon? I don't think it was that he did not handle it but he
:23:32. > :23:35.was a green horse. It was his first time on a track like that. He would
:23:35. > :23:39.have learnt a lot and if he ever races it again he would handle it
:23:39. > :23:46.better. Can you tell us what emotions you were going through
:23:46. > :23:52.when Astrology kicked for home? knew that Astrology was the big
:23:52. > :23:57.danger. We knew going a mile-and-a- half on better ground he was going
:23:57. > :24:05.to improve more. I knew the way Joseph would be at the other end of
:24:05. > :24:12.the field and Astrology would be ridden very far. It was a big worry.
:24:12. > :24:22.You can give way that you cannot give distance. We felt Astrology
:24:22. > :24:24.
:24:24. > :24:34.was a big danger. This was a very important race and the lads had two
:24:34. > :24:36.
:24:36. > :24:41.serious chances. I think it was a very special run. Joseph, you knew
:24:41. > :24:47.Astrology was the danger, he was 12 lengths in front of you, how did
:24:47. > :24:53.you have the confidence to wait that long? When I am in that kind
:24:53. > :24:59.of position, you cannot do much about it. I felt coming into the
:24:59. > :25:05.race he was a big danger. He is a very good horse. My Lad is pretty
:25:05. > :25:12.good also. You why only 19, you have ridden possibly as many good
:25:12. > :25:16.horses as I wrote in my career! is because of this man! How does
:25:17. > :25:21.this horse rate, even though you were only a young lad, how does
:25:21. > :25:26.this horse rate with the horses you have ridden in the past? He is
:25:26. > :25:32.right up there with the very best of them. He is the man! We have got
:25:32. > :25:38.to ask about the future of this horse. There is chat about the
:25:38. > :25:43.Triple Crown, chat about the King George, what sort of options are
:25:43. > :25:51.going through your mind? I know you have to talk to the boys as well.
:25:51. > :26:00.Absolutely. There all the options. He can have a break, he can go for
:26:00. > :26:05.the Leger, he has all the options. I suppose what is very unusual is
:26:05. > :26:10.he has only run four times but he is always finishing. It is very
:26:10. > :26:14.good that he is getting very relaxed. Even when he came in today,
:26:14. > :26:20.usually horses are flustered or a little bit hyper but he stood there
:26:20. > :26:24.and he was normal and relaxed. It was very unusual. Taking more that
:26:24. > :26:31.in and what you have said just now, we will have to expect even a
:26:31. > :26:40.better horse when he runs next time? You never know but he is a
:26:40. > :26:46.very, very good attitude and he has a very good outlook. They can be
:26:47. > :26:51.quite flighty and he is quite relaxed. He pricked his ears and
:26:51. > :26:57.had a look at all the amusements on the inside. He made fun of them,
:26:57. > :27:01.did he? I have got to ask Aden, Joseph is still a young man, you
:27:01. > :27:07.have experienced some of the greatest highs in racing all of the
:27:07. > :27:10.world, not just here in Epsom, where does this success with this
:27:10. > :27:15.young man piloting one of your horses stand with all your
:27:15. > :27:19.achievements? This is beyond dreams. I cannot tell you how grateful we
:27:19. > :27:27.are to be in the position that we are in. Something like this I could
:27:27. > :27:32.not even dream about. This is just beyond dreams. I have no words to
:27:32. > :27:37.describe it, it is incredible. have got some words. I congratulate
:27:37. > :27:43.you both because you were doing absolutely fantastic but this guy,
:27:43. > :27:47.this 19-year-old, he reminds me of the great Lester Piggott and that
:27:48. > :27:52.is saying something. I congratulate you, you are a fantastic jockey.
:27:52. > :27:57.Thank you very much. There is no finer compliment than the words
