Royal Ascot Ladies’ Day – live!

It’s Gold Cup and Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot 2011. All the latest news, comment, racing, fashion, gossip, literature and action through the day. Gallery: the best images of day two Catch up with day two’s live blog Racecard 4.04pm: Good quote from Jamie Spencer in his post-race interview, upon being asked if it was poignant for him winning such a big race having been Aidan O’Brien’s stable jockey in the past, before being replaced in 2005: “We’re getting on better now,” he laughs. 4.00pm: In a state of affairs that’s anathema to some of our readers who have little time for such frippery, Ms Kate Carter esteemed editor of the Guardian’s Life & Style desk has lovingly compiled this gallery of headwear, in which she invites you to take your hats off for the the ladies of Royal Ascot as they mingle in their most momentous millinery, from stuffed flamingoes to Titantic mistakes . Enjoy. 3.55pm: From Chris Cook on-course … “Some very tired horses there. Holberg and Tastahil, tailed off, were eased to a walk before they reached the line,” he tweets. Ascot Gold Cup (345) – the result 1 Fame And Glory (J P Spencer) 11-8 Fav 2 Opinion Poll (M Barzalona) 16-1 3 Brigantin (P C Boudot) 16-1 15 ran Also: 14-1 Manighar 4th CSF: £22.97 Tricast: £272.62 The Ascot Gold Cup (3.45) – the race It’s Aim To Prosper from Tastahil, who is setting a decent gallop as they travel up the home straight, with Fame and Glory tucked in in a good position just behind the leaders with a circuit to go … still Tastahil, then Aim To Prosper, to Kolberg to Fame And Glory, on whom jockey Jamie Spencer has yet to move a muscle … with four furlongs to go Tastahil is being pressured on the outside by Duncan who kicks on from Aim To Prosper … but with Duncan heading for home two furlongs out, Fame And Glory takes the leads and bursts away from the field with Opinion Poll in hot pursuit. Fame And Glory wins the Ascot Gold Cup … making me look an even bigger idiot than usual in the process. Fame And Glory wins under Jamie Spencer for trainer Aidan O’Brien by a winning margin of three lengths. Opinion Poll was second and Brigantin was third. 3.47pm: The money’s pouring in for Fame And Glory, a favourite I think will get beaten. Some bookies in the ring are still going 11-8, although you can still get 7-4 on the exchanges. Not long now … Chris Cook on the post-Ribblesdale press conference Jim Bolger, who trains Bannimpire, was playfully reluctant about entering the press conference after his horse landed the Ribblesdale just now. “This is the downside of winning,” he said. The horse had raced as recently as Sunday and he would not normally bring a horse out again so quickly. “But she’s a very gross filly, she won’t mind my saying,” Bolger explained. “She eats and sleeps and does nothing at home. The only time she half-exerts herself is on the racecourse.” Bolger intends to aim her at next month’s Irish Oaks but hopes to find another race for her in the meantime. “The way she eats, she just might be in need of the race on the day if we can’t find something in between.” Earlier, Kevin Ryan had said he would enter his Norfolk Stakes winner, Bapak Chinta, in the Nunthorpe at York in August. The horse’s name is apparantly Malaysian for Fatherly Love. 3.41pm: More from Greg Wood in the parade ring … “Can’t find any real negatives so far, all v relaxed. Fame & Glory looks well, Duncan a grand sort too. Still don’t fancy either of them though,” he tweets. 3.39pm: This from Greg Wood in the parade ring … “Really liked Brigantin. No. 13 too, my late father’s lucky number,” he Tweets. Ulysses 1904-2011 Tony Paley writes: Meanwhile, back to Ulysses and the race itself. The 1904 Ascot Gold Cup was fully expected to be won by Sceptre who had remarkably won four Classic races in 1902, including the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas over two days and then the Oaks and the St Leger. Sceptre had finished second in the Coronation Cup at Epsom before she was pitched into the fray at Ascot. In the race itself Throwaway set a fair pace to Sceptre, with Maximum II just behind on the turn for home, when Sceptre slightly headed Throwaway, and Zinfandel took close order with him. Throwaway, however, stayed on, and won cleverly at the finish by a length with three parts of a length dividing Zinfandel in second and Sceptre in third. Here is how Joyce himself described the drama in Ulysses: ‘Madden had lost five drachmas on Sceptre for a whim of the rider’s name: Lenehan as much more. He told them of the race. The flag fell and, huuh! off, scamper, the mare ran out freshly with O. Madden up. She was leading the field. All hearts were beating. Even Phyllis could not contain herself. She waved her scarf and cried: Huzzah! Sceptre wins! But in the straight on the run home when all were in close order the dark horse Throwaway drew level, reached, outstripped her. All was lost now. Phyllis was silent: her eyes were sad anemones. Juno, she cried, I am undone. But her lover consoled her and brought her a bright casket of gold in which lay some oval sugarplums which she partook. A tear fell: one only. A whacking fine whip, said Lenehan, is W. Lane. Four winners yesterday and three today. What rider is like him? Mount him on the camel or the boisterous buffalo the victory in a hack canter is still his. But let us bear it as was the ancient wont. Mercy on the luckless! Poor Sceptre! he said with a light sigh. She is not the filly that she was. Never, by this hand, shall we behold such another. By gad, sir, a queen of them.’ 3.25pm: On the BBC, commentator Jim McGrath and former jump jockey-turned-pundit are going through the card for the Gold Cup. McGrath is concerned about the race being too stamina-sapping for the favourite, Fame and Glory, but Fitzgerald insists that there’s no better man than Jamie Spencer to switch the horse off and put it to sleep so that it’s got plenty left in the tank for the closing stages. In the betting rin, John Parrott and Gary Wiltshere reveal that Fame And Glory is 7-4 favourite, but suggest that with the amount of money pouring in for the Aidan O’Brien-trained jolly, it could go off at evens. Chris Cook’s Ascot Gold Cup (3.45) preview Supposedly the big race of the week, this is now something of an anachronism because Flat racers with the stamina for two and a half miles are badly out of fashion within the industry. The connections of today’s runners are doubtless delighted to be represented in a race with such a history of prestige but they would be even more delighted to own something fast enough to compete over a mile. Largely thanks to Yeats, it is seven years since the most recent British-trained winner (Papineau) and the betting market believes the prize will go to Ireland once more. Aidan O’Brien’s Fame And Glory is favourite and he deserves your respect as the winner of four Group Ones, including the Irish Derby and the Coronation Cup. Plus, he has plenty of experience of rain-softened ground, though he has never raced beyond a mile and three-quarters. Duncan ran on well to win last month’s Yorkshire Cup. He has sometimes looked a quirky sort but, alas for him, a gelding operation may have put an end to that and he has plenty of solid form to his name, having chased home Harbinger in a much shorter race at last year’s Royal meeting. Godolphin’s Holberg won the Queen’s Vase over two miles at the Royal meeting in 2009 but rain-softened ground was given as a partial explanation of his latest defeat, which makes you fear for his chances today. The veterans Geordieland and Kasbah Bliss are back for another crack at this prize and both have form of sufficient quality in the book, if you go back far enough. Hello and good afternoon, Glendenning here. We’ve a wealth of live sport going on this afternoon, so don’t forget that as well as following Royal Ascot, you can also keep tabs on England v Sri Lanka in the cricket with Andy Bull and The US Open in golf with Scott Murray. 3.11pm: Time to hand over to Barry Glendenning…. 3.09pm: 3.05pm Ribblesdale Fillies’ Stakes: the result 1. Banimpire (K J Manning) 2. Field of Miracles (R Hughes) 3. Dorcas Lane (P Hanagan) 4. Look at me (Ryan Moore) 3.06pm: 3.05pm Ribblesdale Fillies’ Stakes: the race they’re off….Sunday Best starts well….Field of Miracles leads as they come round the bend….followed by Sunday Bess and Musharakaat….Field of Miracles still leads….Sunday Bess has gone…..into the home straight….Field of Miracles leads….Field of Miracles being chased by Banimpire….Banimpire takes the lead and wins by less than a head….they may call for photofinish to make sure….. 3.05pm: Tony Paley writes: It is looking more than likely that Frankel the wonder horse will be going to Glorious Goodwood and the Sussex Stakes rather than the Juddmonte International Stakes later in August. The trainer of Tuesday’s St James’s Palace Stakes winner, Henry Cecil, was collared by At The Races presenter Matt Chapman at Ascot today and he told him it was “probable” Frankel would go to Goodwood. Here is the Chapman (@MCYeeehaaa) tweet . 3.03pm: SkyBet’s MattDoyle tweets : Raining heavily with the fillies circling paddock for Ribblesdale. Zain Al Boldan is small and hard trained 3.05pm Ribblesdale Fillies’ Stakes: the odds Sportingbet says: Rumh 4 Banimpire 4 Highest 8 Zain Al Boldan 8 Dorcas Lane 8 Look At Me 10 ArizonaJewel 10 Bar 12 2.57pm: Cornelius Lysaght tweets : @MCYeeehaaa reporting Sir Henry Cecil told him it’s ‘probable’ Frankel to go for Glorious Goodwood clash with Canford Cliffs 2.55pm: Chris Cook’s update on the first race : Bapak Chinta means Fatherly Love, owner tells us. Will have an entry in Nunthorpe Chris Cook’s 3.05pm Ribblesdale Fillies’ Stakes Preview Godolphin enjoyed a major moment of glory with Rewilding in yesterday’s Prince of Wales’s Stakes and may make it two for the week here with Rumh. Her trainer, Saeed bin Suroor, must certainly hope so, as he’s having a much less productive season so far than Godolphin’s other trainer, Mahmood al-Zarooni, who has both Rewilding and the Guineas winner Blue Bunting in his care. Godolphin insist that the two men are not competing but it would only be natural if Bin Suroor felt the need to prove himself once more and he has sent out the winner of this race for the past two years. Rumh hacked up by six lengths in a Listed race last week. Before that, she chased home Izzi Top and Dancing Rain at Newbury, which looks pretty good now that those two have been first and third in the Oaks. The favourite is Banimpire, trained by Jim Bolger, the Official Shrewdie of Royal Ascot. This filly is pretty tough, winning her fourth race of the year on Sunday. She has also run well in defeat on two occasions, including when fifth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. If this turns into a test on rain-softened ground, Make My Heart Sing may come into the reckoning, even though jockey bookings suggests she is Aidan O’Brien’s second-string behind Look At Me. By Sadler’s Wells out of a Shirely Heights mare, Make My Heart Sing is bred to improve for time and distance. She won her maiden at Cork last month on her first try at today’s trip of a mile and a half. 2.49pm: Hats, hats, hats . 2.49pm: And here’s the Queen’s hat. Pink. 2.35pm: The best of the action in the first race came in the centre of the track. We will see if a pattern develops through the day. 2.30pm Norfolk Stakes: the result 1. Bapak Chinta (P Makin) 2. Boomerang Bob (S Sanders) 3. Crown Dependency (R Hughes) 4. Burwaaz (R Hills) 2.31pm: 2.30pm Norfolk Stakes: the race They’re off…Everyday Dave gets a good start…there’s a big pack in the middle of the course….five horses on the stands side…..Bapak Chinta near the front….it tires….but holds on to win…. 2.29pm: Geoffrey Riddle tweets from the paddock: Everyday Dave, Charles The Great and Bannock the best in the paddock for the Norfolk Stakes. Hardly original, but there you are. 2.27pm: Will the far side of the straight course come into play today? The rain has set into the track. 2.26pm: 2.30pm Norfolk Stakes: the odds Sportingbet says: Silverheels 11/2 Everyday Dave 11/2 Bapak Chinta 6 Crown Dependency 7 Bannock 7 Pymans Theory 10 Betfair says : Silverheels 6.6 Bannock 6.8 Everyday Dave 7.4 2.14pm: Know your place The Middleton family were to be found in the fourth carriage in the Royal procession. Ex-Racing Post correspondent James Willoughby tweets : Carol Middleton in Royal procession? Not so much as a guest, but to serve meals in a box and advise in case of emergency carriage evacuation 2.12pm: Hello, hello, hello Chris Cook writes: The limousines are not the only eye-catching vehicles here. Cleverly sited alongside the tracks in the station car park is a British Transport Police Custody Unit, immediately visible to anyone arriving by rail. “We’ve got six cells for those who misbehave themselves,” said a WPC, who politely declined a request for a quick inspection of the facility, opining that the Guardian’s reporter seemed a likely sort to get a closer look at some point in the week. 2.10pm: Ulysses 1904-2011 Tony Paley writes: As we return to the action in James Joyce’s Ulysses, Bantam Lyons, who is looking for an Ascot Gold Cup tip, is intrigued by Leopold Bloom’s exclamation: Bantam Lyons raised his eyes suddenly and leered weakly. — What’s that? his sharp voice said. — I say you can keep it, Mr Bloom answered. I was going to throw it away that moment. Bantam Lyons doubted an instant, leering: then thrust the outspread sheets back on Mr Bloom’s arms. — I’ll risk it, he said. Here, thanks. He sped off towards Conway’s corner. God speed scut. Lyons scurries off to back the outsider Throwaway on the mistaken assumption that Bloom has selected the beast . . . 2.01pm: The Queen’s hat… …is pink 1.55pm: Chris Cook’s 2.30pm Norfolk Stakes preview Here’s another of these two-year-old races, lots of horses with hardly any form in a five-furlong dash. On fast ground, you could get some help from the time figures that each has achieved so far but, after this morning’s rain, such evidence is much less compelling. Nine of the last 10 winners had won their previous start, which, in theory, reduces today’s 20 runners to eight possible winners. That being said, I like Bannock, beaten by Pyman’s Theory in Sandown’s National Stakes last time. He met serious traffic trouble that day and I make him an unlucky loser who is being under-rated at odds of 8-1. The American trainer Wesley Ward has had no luck so far this week but his Everyday Dave, an eight-length winner at Chantilly last month, looks like starting favourite. Bapak Chinta won a Hamilton maiden last month and that wouldn’t normally lead a horse to start at around 5-1 at Royal Ascot but he quickened three lengths clear of Frederick Engels, who, of course, won the Windsor Castle here on Tuesday. Then again, Shumoos had also beaten Frederick Engels before getting beaten herself (very narrowly) in yesterday’s Queen Mary. Pyman’s Theory is named after an idea put forward by the Racing Post’s James Pyman that the progeny of Exceed And Excel fare surprisingly well at Ascot. This filly comes from the Tom Dascombe stable that won the Sandringham yesterday and is by that sire, as is Ed Dunlop’s Burwaaz. Both are among the eight last-time-out winners in the field. Incidentally, Frederick Engels was also declared to run in this race but will not take part so soon after the Tuesday race and neither will Ballesteros, Caspar Netscher, Lupo D’Oro or Ebony Clarets, all of which have run earlier this week. Bear Behind, a fair fifth to Frederick Engels on Tuesday, is still expected to run. 1.37pm: Silly hat competition Chris Cook tweets: Silly hat – titanic being sunk by an iceberg http://twitpic.com/5cazk8 1.20pm: What colour hat will the Queen wear today? Francis Keogh tweets : Royal Ascot: Yellow fav for Queen’s hat. I reckon blue (via trainer @lawneyhill ) is the colour. Mr + Mrs Middleton in a carriage. No Kate 1.03pm: The going Chris Cook writes: After 11mm of rain this morning, the going is officially good to soft, soft in places. The clerk of the course, Chris Stickels, says he is “very pleased” with how the home straight has taken the downpour and it is worth bearing in mind that it has generally drained very well since it was relaid a few years ago. Skybet’s Matt Doyle advises me of the following market movers. Silverheels is 11-2 from 7-1 in the opener at 2.30 and, as a son of Verglas, should appreciate any give. Rumh is a “warm order” in the Ribblesdale, though the 7-2 is holding for now. Fame And Glory has been trimmed to 9-4 from 5-2 for the Gold Cup, while each-way punters are backing Aaim To Prosper (40-1 from 50s). High-drawn runners are all the rage in the Britannia, with Belgian Bill 8-1 from 11s. Brown Panther is 5-1 from 7s in the last after “solid, professional money”. Ulysses 1904-2011 Tony Paley writes: James Joyce’s Ulysses takes place on 16 June 1904 and the running of the Ascot Gold Cup on that day plays an integral part in the adventures of the central character, Leopold Bloom, as he traverses the Dublin streets. The references to the race mainly take place in chapter 5 (“The Lotus Eaters”) As we join our hero he has bumped into the unsavoury Bantam Lyons who is looking for a tip: At his armpit Bantam Lyons’ voice and hand said: — Hello, Bloom. What’s the best news? Is that today’s [paper]? Show us a minute. Shaved off his moustache again, by Jove! Long cold upper lip. To look younger. He does look balmy. Younger than I am. Bantam Lyons’s yellow blacknailed fingers unrolled the baton. Wants a wash too. Take off the rough dirt. Good morning, have you used Pears’ soap? Dandruff on his shoulders. Scalp wants oiling. — I want to see about that French horse that’s running today, Bantam Lyons said. Where the bugger is it? He rustled the pleated pages, jerking his chin on his high collar. Barber’s itch. Tight collar he’ll lose his hair. Better leave him the paper and get shut of him. — You can keep it, Mr Bloom said. — Ascot. Gold cup. Wait, Bantam Lyons muttered. Half a mo. Maximum the second. — I was just going to throw it away, Mr Bloom said. For those of you unfamiliar with James Joyce’s original, O Brother Where Art Thou? is a modern Hollywood take on the story. Everett Ulysses McGill (George Clooney), Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson) and Pete (John Turturro). 12.44pm: Silliest hat of the day competition Chris Cook has spotted this hat at Ascot today. Fashion writer Imogen Fox says: “I think it looks like she was inspired by the Louise Bourgeois spider at the Tate Modern. She looks like the kind of woman that favours her fashion with an art reference thrown in.” We’re sure there will be more contestants to come…. 12.34pm: The NFL comes to Royal Ascot Chris Cook writes : Yesterday, I met Wes Welker. This may mean little to you but it was pretty staggering to me, because I enjoy a bit of American Football and so I know that he plays as a wide receiver for the New England Patriots. He holds quite a few records and is the only receiver in the history of the game to have 110 or more catches in three different seasons. More importantly, he is also part-owner of Gypsy Robin, who ran in the Queen Mary yesterday. Still, I was assured by some American broadcasters that he would not have made the journey, so there was no point in getting excited. As the jockey was getting legged-up, I wandered over to talk to the group of top-hatted men who I took to be his other owners. “Wes Welker?” one of them replied when I asked. “Yeah, we know him. He’s a really great guy. I hear he has an enormous cock.” Beginning to suspect, I looked at this man’s Royal Enclosure badge. “Wes Welker,” it said. Oh God. Boasting aside, he could not have been more charming. “I’m very nervous right now,” he said. “We had an opportunity to come here to Royal Ascot and I thought, I can’t miss this.” Welker has no family connection with horse racing but has had a longstanding appreciation for the sport which he is now in a position to indulge. “I enjoy it deeply. I’ve always kind of enjoyed it, the competition of it all. “I got in touch with some friends that have friends in the business. Now I’m a minority owner that’s having a fun time with it. “I’m here until Sunday and then I get back home to start training again.” Gypsy Robin must have given him a thrill by going off like a scalded cat but, alas, she couldn’t keep up such a pace and faded. Still, it was action of a kind. Welker must hope that the dispute between NFL team-owners and the players can be resolved so that he himself can step back in front of the cameras at some point later this year. 12.33pm: Will Hayler’s tips Having recommended Opinion Poll as a value bet in the Gold Cup at the 33-1 which was available in a place yesterday, Godolphin’s soft-ground lover represents considerably less in the way of value at the 16-1 to which he has shortened already this morning. But with conditions having evidently turned in his favour after six hours of persistent rain (which now, finally, seems to have ended), it’s no surprise to see punters looking in his direction. Former trainer Michael Jarvis used to withdraw the horse whenever the ground was on the fast side of good and although Godolphin have been less discriminatory, the vast majority of his best performances have come when the word ‘soft’ has appeared in the going description. It’s not going to be bottomless by any means. The drainage on the straight course is so effective that it probably can’t ever be much worse than good to soft again on that stretch of the track. But if you already had any doubts about Fame And Glory seeing out the two and a half miles, his prospects of doing so cannot have been improved by this morning’s weather, particularly if Tastahil and/or Fictional Account set out from the front to make it a thorough test. Another interesting punting aspect to this morning’s rain will be to examine the influence it plays on the results of the big-field handicaps on the straight course. Jockeys on horses drawn high got the best of neither world when drifting across to the middle of the track in yesterday’s Hunt Cup, but hopefully a more substantial number of runners in today’s Britannia will be prepared to look for fresh ground, where the rain hasn’t got into the poached soil, between the middle and the far rail. That’s where the Goingstick has suggested conditions might be quickest in any case. I might just try a trifecta permutation of the eight lowest-drawn horses in the race to test out the theory. 12.20pm: The going Chris Cook writes: The going was still officially good at 9am but officials say they will check again before racing and expect to change it, in light of the rain that has been falling since 7am. “We are forecast heavy showers on and off all day,” says Chris Stickels, the clerk of the course, “but the worst are meant to be over by the end of this morning, hopefully.” Showers are also due for the next two days. 11.57am: Wish you were there? While a fabulous day of racing lies ahead, if you are sat in an office somewhere you can console yourself with the thought that the weather has so far been less kind than on the first two days. Here is a gallery of the best images of the day so far. The gallery will be updated with new pictures through the day. 11.49am: Tony Paley’s Royal Ascot: James Joyce and more 1. What is it like to own a horse running at Royal Ascot? Daily Telegraph scribe Matthew Norman once owned a leg in a Thoroughbred and he recounts his travails here . 2. Sheikh Mohammed has been rather more successful than Norman and can be forgiven for getting a little jiggy after the victory of his Rewilding following a pulsating battle with So You Think in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes yesterday. The ruler of Dubai tweeted with a link to a Facebook page highlighting the win this morning. 3. Legendary Australian trainer Bart Cummings made no secret of the fact that he was mightily upset when So You Think was taken from his stable by the Coolmore mob and sent to race with Aidan O’Brien. Cummings caused a furore recently when he said the racing over here “isn’t worth two bob.” O’Brien fessed up that he might have left So You Think a little short of work and Cummings put the boot in this morning on Sky Sports Radio. Read what he had to say here . 4. Today is Bloomsday when fans of James Joyce celebrate the exact day the action in his most famous work, Ulysses, was set. By coincidence it is also Ascot Gold Cup day as it was in 1904 when Leopold Bloom made his odyssey around Dublin. Here is the background to the significance of the race in the book . We will be bringing you James Joyce quotes through the day to sate your literary thirst…. 11.30am: Ladies’ Day preview Will Hayler writes: “Opinion Poll can defy the favourite to land Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.” Chris Cook writes: “Kieren Fallon says he has settled dispute with Native Khan owner Araci.” The best of Royal Ascot 2011 Day Two Greg Wood writes: “Frankie Dettori’s Ascot win upsets punters and stewards.” Will Hayler writes: “Frankie Dettori foils So You Think in Prince of Wales’s at Royal Ascot.” Greg Wood writes: “Aidan O’Brien takes blame after favourite So You Think comes up short.” Catch up with Day Two’s Live blog .
