So You Think the hot favourite could not hang on to win at Ascot today

Were you excited for the big race today from Royal Ascot? Did you wonder if the highly fancied So You Think would live up to expectations? Were you at work all day and had to follow the race via BBC text updates?

Here's how it was reported:
BBC Sport's Frank Keogh on Twitter: "Just caught my first glimpse of NZ-bred So You Think in parade ring at Royal Ascot. Stood in admiration. Mighty-looking horse"
1545: So You Think goes off at 4-11 and gets away neatly.
1546: Jan Vermeer leads with six to go and going at a hell of a lick.
1546: So You Think is well set in third and ready to surge.
1546:Here he comes....
REWILDING WINS THE PRINCE OF WALES'S STAKES AT 17-2
1553:A breath-taking finish as Frankie Dettori brings Rewilding up alongside So You Think as the much-fancied but fading favourite desperately attempts to cling on to his lead, but his grip is prised loose within the last few metres. A tight finish produces a track-record time.

Unemployment (and live TV) beckons.
