Royal Ascot Day 2 Betting Preview – The Final Furlong Podcast Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, Andy Newton, and George Gorman for a full throttle betting breakdown of Wednesday's Royal Ascot action. The team kicks off with the Queen Mary Stakes, where double-digit odds selections fly from all sides — and one blistering U.S. speedball could give America its fifth win in a decade. But Adam goes to bat for the rock-solid favourite Zelaina, with data to back it up. In the Queen's Vase, Aidan O'Brien's dominant record makes Shackleton and Scandinavia hard to ignore — but not everyone's on board. Sharp alternatives are pitched with tactical insights on pace, breeding, and late stamina. Tempers flare in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes as the panel splits strongly over the right way to play the race — who's reading it right? Then it's time for fireworks in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes (Group 1):

Who comes out on top? Then it's the Queen Anne Stakes, and six of the last ten winners came through the Lockinge—but does Lead Artist, Rosallion, Dancing Gemini, or Notable Speech hold the edge, or is there a live outsider? We dig into the King Charles III Stakes, break down Wednesday's Prince Of Wales's Stakes where Los Angeles bids to dominate again, and ask: can White Birch or Anmaat flip the form? On Thursday, Illinois fills in for Kyprios in the Gold Cup—but is he good enough to stop Trawlerman from going one better than 2024? Friday's feature races bring fireworks: Is Shadow Of Light a sprinting superstar in the Commonwealth Cup? Can Zarigana claim the Coronation Stakes, or is there a monster each-way bet hiding in plain sight? Finally, we close with the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes—a true international war.

In this Epsom Festival Data Special, Final Furlong Podcast host Emmet Kennedy is joined by RaceiQ Lead Analyst Page Fuller to strip away the hype and reveal what the numbers say about this year's Derby, Oaks, and Coronation Cup. In the Betfred Derby, Page breaks down the full performance data on The Lion In Winter, Lambourn, and Delacroix, plus gives the RaceiQ verdict on Dante winner Pride Of Arras, dark horses Stanhope Gardens and Tornado Alert, and tackles the key question: Why isn't 2000 Guineas winner Ruling Court the Derby favourite? Then it's the Oaks, as the team evaluates the credentials of red-hot favourite Desert Flower — does the data support her dominance, or is she vulnerable? Page also unpacks the profiles of top threats in the field and potential value plays hiding in plain sight. We close with a stats-backed look at the Betfred Coronation Cup, featuring elite international contenders like Calandagan, Jan Brueghel, and seasoned stayer Giavellotto.

Fresh off a 12/1 winner last week, the Final Furlong Podcast crew returns with a full preview of the weekend's action from Haydock, Chester and York. Emmet Kennedy is joined by George Gorman, Andy Newton and Peter Michael, and the betting heat is turned way up:

“I lost over a million quid on Frankie Dettori… and I wouldn't change a thing.” In this explosive Final Furlong Podcast special, legendary bookmaker, BBC pundit, and racing lifer Gary Wiltshire joins Emmet Kennedy to reflect on 50 Years in the Betting Jungle — from laying the Magnificent Seven to rebuilding his life after public betrayal, tabloid lies, and financial ruin. With trademark honesty, Wiltshire opens up on:

A classic weekend of racing is here — and The Final Furlong Podcast is ready with Group 1s, bold opinions, and big-value plays. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Andy Newton to preview a stacked two days at The Curragh, Goodwood, Beverley, and Haydock, with a Lucky 15 that pays 1630/1! In the Irish 2000 Guineas, the panel is united in taking on the odds-on favourite — and we explain why Field Of Goldcould be set for redemption under Colin Keane. We also preview the Greenlands Stakes, where an Australian import for Aidan O'Brien makes his Irish debut — but two of the team prefer a sharp-looking 8/1 shot. Over in Britain, we cover six key races, including the Temple Stakes, the Sandy Lane, and two major juvenile tests at Beverley. Then it's back to The Curragh for a massive Sunday featuring the Tattersalls Gold Cup — can Los Angeles turn the tables on White Birch, or is there a party spoiler waiting?And in the Irish 1000 Guineas, we break down strong runners from Aidan O'Brien and Dermot Weld, and three of the team are against the favourite...

The road to Royal Ascot is heating up — and The Final Furlong Podcast team has all the angles.

We kick off with Lead Artist's Group 1 Lockinge win, and debate who's best placed for the Queen Anne Stakes — Rosallion, Notable Speech or Dancing Gemini? The team weighs in, and Laura names a 10/1 shot she believes is the bet right now. Babouche, Ger Lyons' Group 1-winning juvenile, impressed in the Lacken Stakes — but is she worth backing for the Commonwealth Cup? We also debate the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, with a confident 33/1 tip, plus takes on French raiders and Aidan's Aussie-bred wildcard. Can See The Fire be a Juddmonte International filly? What next for Rebel's Romance and Kyprios after their latest runs? And we scout potential Royal Ascot 2yo stars — including an Albany outsider to watch.

The Derby and Oaks picture at Epsom is taking shape — and The Final Furlong Podcast is here to break it down. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Laura Joy, Adam Mills, Jamie Wrenn and Archie Brooks to review all the key contenders now that the classic trials are in the books. In the Derby, there's a growing case for a 33/1 outsider, while Laura and Archie agree on a colt who should be favourite — but currently isn't. From trial winners to hidden gems, we give you the full profile on this year's crop. Then it's the fillies' turn, and the team doesn't agree — with real debate over the Oaks market leader's ability to stay the trip, and which of Aidan O'Brien's runners holds the aces. There's also a bold look at the 1000/1 double that might not be as crazy as it sounds. Full classic analysis, longshot plays, sharp angles and plenty of strong opinions.

It's a weekend packed with clues, class and value — and The Final Furlong Podcast team is ready. Emmet Kennedy is joined by George Gorman, Andy Newton and Jake Wilkes to preview a brilliant few days of racing — headlined by the Group 1 Boylesports Lockinge Stakes, where the team is split: one is swinging for an 18/1 outsider, while another is supremely confident in a 4/1 play. In the always-intriguing Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap, George believes he's found a "handicap plot", and Andy makes the same horse his next best bet at 7/1. We then turn to Naas on Sunday, where potential Royal Ascot contenders are on show — and Jake lands on a double-figure priced selection he's extremely bullish about. The team also reacts to the latest curveball in the Derby picture: The Lion In Winter's defeat. Can Aidan O'Brien pull another late rabbit out of the hat after yet another first-time flop?

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Ryan Anderson and Charlie Freeman — two sharp analysts from America's Best Racing and the HHH Racing Podcast — to break down the second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown as Journalism looks to bounce back after a massive run in the Kentucky Derby. But can the morning line favorite handle the quick turnaround at Pimlico? The lads dive into pace, track bias, pedigree, and race shape — and both land on a must-use 20/1 shot in their trifecta tickets. You'll also get undercard value tips, including a confident 8/1 banker the panel believes is flying under the radar. Preakness angles, sharp U.S. insight, and full-card firepower — it's all here in our Preakness 150 Special.

In this Final Furlong audio podcast exclusive, we reflect on two major moments that have rocked the racing world. First, Rachael Blackmore — the groundbreaking, history-making champion — has announced her retirement. From a 7lb claimer at Clonmel to winning every major championship race at Cheltenham and rewriting the Grand National record books aboard Minella Times, Rachael inspired a generation. Emmet Kennedy is joined by the man behind so many of those iconic victories, Henry de Bromhead, to pay tribute to a jockey who changed the sport forever. Then, we turn to Longchamp, where controversy erupted in the aftermath of the French 1,000 Guineas. She's Perfect crossed the line first — seemingly handing a first Classic win to trainer Charlie Fellowes and owner Basher Watts — only to be demoted after a stewards' inquiry in favour of a whipless Zarigana. What happened, and what does it say about racing's rules? Basher Watts joins us to give his first full reaction — and it's unmissable.

On this packed episode of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn and George Gorman to unpack a week of drama, dominance and divisive opinions in the build-up to Epsom. We begin in France with heartbreak for Basher Watts, Kieran Shoemark and Charlie Fellowes as She's Perfect is controversially disqualified from the French 1000 Guineas, handing the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches to Zarigana, who emulates her famous granddam in style. But did the stewards get it right — and should the team appeal? From there, it's all roads to Epsom, as Ballydoyle's iron grip on the Classic trials continues at Chester, Lingfield and Leopardstown. The panel debates which of Aidan O'Brien's stars are true Derby or Oaks contenders, and which are better Royal Ascot material. The podcast is split — with two of the team pushing hard for a 10/1 Oaks filly, while the others are outright dismissive. Could O'Brien's best Derby hope actually emerge from York in the shape of The Lion In Winter? And is one Classic trial runner being criminally underestimated at 33/1 for Epsom? Plus: Two juveniles to follow for Royal Ascot, and a look at whether East India Dock can follow up his Chester Cup heroics at the summer showpiece.

In a seismic moment for horse racing, Rachael Blackmore has announced her immediate retirement from the saddle, ending a trailblazing 16-year career that redefined the sport's boundaries. In this emergency edition of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn, and George Gorman to reflect on the astonishing achievements, historic milestones, and unmatched legacy of the most influential National Hunt jockey of her generation. From shattering the glass ceiling at Cheltenham to winning the Grand National, Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase, and this year's Stayers' Hurdle, Blackmore's story is one of talent, tenacity, and transformation — not just for racing, but for sport. The panel discusses her greatest rides, her long-standing alliance with Henry de Bromhead, the reaction within the weighing room, and what this shock retirement means for the future of the weighing room and women in sport.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by George Gorman and Andy Newton for a rapid-fire, bet-loaded preview of the top races across the codes, starting with the Swinton Handicap Hurdle, where George goes in strong on a bold 25/1 selection. We then head to Lingfield for two major trials. The Oaks Trial looks like another Aidan O'Brien banker — but in the Lingfield Derby Trial, questions are being asked. Did Ryan Moore pick the right horse? George and Emmet aren't convinced. And they're both in agreement on one horse in the next race being one of the most likely winners of the weekend. Over at Ascot, we break down three key races, including the always-competitive Victoria Cup, before George puts his neck on the line with his NAP of the weekend — an 8/1 shot in the following race. Confident takes, big prices, and sharp betting insight — it's another don't-miss weekend special.

It's one of the great weekends in global racing — and The Final Furlong Podcast team is on it. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Andy Newton to preview a classic weekend of racing across Newmarket and Churchill Downs — from the first colts' and fillies' classics to the most iconic race in America. In the 2000 Guineas, we break down the main contenders, reveal where the real betting value lies, and put forward strong, contrasting views. In the Kentucky Derby, there's a confident 9/1 play that has the team buzzing. For Sunday's 1000 Guineas, one of the panel makes the case for a 33/1 each-way outsider — and we all agree on the best bet of the weekend, with one pundit declaring: “He should be much shorter — I think he'll **** in!” Plus, we reveal the betting system that's delivered serious profit all season, and the next horse to keep it rolling this weekend.

The National Hunt season ends in style — and we're all over it. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and George Gorman to preview a blockbuster final day at Sandown, where Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton go head-to-head for the British Trainers' Championship in a finale packed with drama, storylines… and betting angles. We've got a 10/1 NAP in the opener, a select hurdle standout at 13/2, and a 6/1 play in the Celebration Chase that Adam and Emmet are bullish on — but it's a 20/1 shot that George and Adam love (and Emmet just can't believe they fancy).

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and Alan Johns to unpack a dramatic week in racing — from Willie Mullins rewriting history with a Scottish Grand National win to the sport facing uncomfortable truths behind the scenes.

Vandeek was a 42,000-guinea yearling. Four months later, he breezed into Tattersalls and sold for 625,000. Then he won two Group 1s. This is his story — and a deep dive into the sale that launched him. In this Final Furlong special, we preview Europe's most elite two-year-old sale: the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up at Newmarket.

Emmet Kennedy, Andy Newton, and Peter Michael return to preview a stacked Saturday of racing — with big opinions, bold calls, and serious value on the table across Ayr and Newbury.

Willie Mullins didn't send a single favourite into battle — but still returned home with five Grade 1s from Aintree. In Part 2 of our Grand National Festival review, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Ginger Joe break down all the big races, performances, and implications.

In this high-stakes industry special, Emmet Kennedy hosts a straight-talking conversation about the future of gambling regulation in Britain — and who it really serves. With independent bookmaker Corbett Bookmakers fined £686,000 and greyhound racing banned in Wales, there's growing concern that smaller operators are being targeted while corporate giants get favourable treatment. But is that conspiracy — or cold reality? Joining the debate: Geoff Banks – CEO of Geoff Banks Bet, fiercely outspoken defender of the independent bookmaker and a critic of regulatory overreach. Dan Waugh – Regulation adviser and former Rank Group strategy director, who's worked with governments and Parliament to shape safer gambling frameworks. Together they explore: Is the Gambling Commission creating a level playing field — or entrenching a monopoly? Why are some campaigners backing racing while celebrating greyhound bans? Has the industry reached a tipping point in trust, transparency, and survival? With frank opinions, uncomfortable truths, and sharp insight from both sides of the industry, this episode pulls no punches. If you care about where betting goes next — this is essential listening.

Adam makes a compelling case for Turners Novices' Hurdle winner The New Lion as next year's Champion Hurdle star, while the entire team agrees The Yellow Clay and Final Demand could dominate Cheltenham in seasons to come. Attention then shifts to key runners from the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle—Jasmin De Vaux, The Big Westerner, Derryhassen Paddy, and Wendigo—and we pinpoint future stars in Air Of Entitlement for the Mares' Chase and Sixandahalf as a potential Champion Hurdler. Plus, we explain why shock Triumph Hurdle winner Poniros deserves serious respect, discuss the dramatic Arkle Chase victory of Jango Baie and its implications for beaten favourite Majborough, and debate whether Ballyburn should revert to hurdles after a costly defeat in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase. Could Lecky Watson emerge as a Gold Cup contender? Finally, the team highlights overlooked Champion Bumper runners and key handicappers to follow ahead of Aintree and Punchestown. A must-listen deep dive into racing's next generation of champions. The Final Furlong Podcast is proudly brought to you by Geoff Banks Bet.

Fortune favours the bold as Golden Ace shocks the racing world, claiming Champion Hurdle glory amidst chaos at Cheltenham Festival 2025. Multiple Festival-winning jockey and TalkSPORT pundit Lizzie Kelly, along with TPD racing analyst Adam Mills, join Emmet Kennedy to dissect an extraordinary Champion Hurdle—including State Man's dramatic last-flight fall, Brighterdaysahead's unexpected flop, and Lizzie's compelling argument about the real legacy of Constitution Hill. We break down Lossiemouth's classy back-to-back Mares' Hurdle victories, Bob Olinger's Festival hat-trick and remarkable defeat of reigning champion Teahupoo in the Stayers' Hurdle, and question whether Jonbon's Festival dreams are officially over after defeat to Marine Nationale in the Champion Chase. Adam makes a bold, data-driven prediction for Fact To File's future that could stun listeners, while we discuss Inothewayurthinkin's intriguing odds for the Grand National. Finally, we debate if Galopin Des Champs can emulate the legendary Kauto Star and reclaim Gold Cup glory. Insight, debate, and bold takes—this is the definitive Cheltenham championship races breakdown. The Final Furlong Podcast is proudly brought to you by Geoff Banks Bet.
