ASCOT Ch. 4. Now.

I'm not ashamed to say I had a little cry when Riposte past the post & then again when Clare interviewed Lady Jane. Just such a heart warming result. Sir Henry would have been v proud of his team. & then to see the Queen so excited. Flat racing at its best.
 
agree about handler - I would have thought there was a dress code for handler?

NNN - whats the rules for steroids on horses racing here from usa?? He might not be on steroids now but he didn't get like that from work alone....

So long as the drugs were out of his system and had none administrated in this country he is clean to run.

My thoughts too, clearly has had an advantage with steroids whether historical or more recent.
 
The pictures of the Queen were fantastic. I don't think I have ever seen her so animated and happy. Just shows us what our wonderful horses do for us and mean to us, regardless of who we are, what we have or have not.
 
We are just about to see this on our 6 o'clock news!! New Zealand time Friday!! I hope they show us the presentation!! By the way - who did present it to her??!!

Duke of York/Prince Andrew in the end :)

Sky Lantern's stunning!

Nicky Henderson's win was pretty good too :D
 
Lady Cecil gets her 2nd winner at Royal Ascot, we have a loose horse in a flat race, an injured jockey and the winning horse isn't looking to good ...

Doesn't sound good for Thomas Chippingdale from what the jockey/presenter just said :(

ETA - He is still receiving treatment though which is slightly more promising....
 
Glad that Hanagan and his horse are ok. I thought it had broken a leg or pelvis the way he was skittering around on the bend but thankfully not, he just slipped and couldn't get his footing back at that speed.

Fingers crossed for the winner x
 
Doesn't sound at all promising but fingers crossed. Luckily it looks liek paul Hannigan is ok despite a horrible looking fall and his mount is ok.

C4 just said died immediately, suspected heart attack. RIP Thomas Chippendale
 
As an aside anyone else picked up on the little digs at Rishie Pershad (sp) during the week made by the guys in the commentary box? ;)
 
There's a rather nice comment on the Racing Post website, that Sir Henry now has his first horse in training up there. Made me smile, just a little bit.
