As Royal Ascot starts, Gabby and Mark take you behind the scenes
at one of the best stables in the country - Park House
Stables in Kingsclere. Trained by
Claire Balding's brother, Andrew
Balding, the horses from Park House won over £5m in
prize money domestically last year, putting them second in the
Trainers Championship, and they've got 25 horses racing at Royal
Ascot.

Gabby and Mark hear about visits from the late
Queen Elizabeth II and horse
passports as we watch the horses ride out and take a tour with
Anna-Lisa Balding. We meet top jockeys
Hollie Doyle and Rob Hornby, to
chat about the physical demands of racing and sweating to hit the
right weight. Lead trainer Andrew Balding blows
our minds by knowing all 250 horses inside out and explains how
he prepares them to win the biggest races. Plus, Mark gets on an
Equicizer horse simulator, guided by young rider trainer,
Leanne White.
