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. Who will emerge victorious? You'll get:✅ Smart angles on draw, pace, and form

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and Liam Firkin to break down every Cheltenham Festival clue from the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown. With Festival markets heating up, this is a must-listen for punters, fans, and insiders alike! Here's what's coming up:
Adam Mills, Katie Young, and Emmet Kennedy shine a spotlight on one of the most confusing divisions in racing: the novice hurdlers. Does Salvator Mundi deserve to be a strong favorite for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle? If not, who stands out against him? We analyse Willie Mullins' runner and provide value recommendations, including one horse that could significantly shorten from the 14/1 currently offered by Geoff Banks. With The New Lion a red-hot favorite for the Turners Novices' Hurdle, we ask: have people overlooked the poor record of Challow Hurdle winners at the Cheltenham Festival? Considering that, who can beat him? There's a big disagreement about The Yellow Clay, while Adam shares a 20/1 dark horse for the race. The Potato Race is often a minefield, but Adam has a strong each-way fancy. We also delve into the intriguing juvenile hurdle division and ask if any contenders could step up to the Supreme. Adam shares a strong theory and a bet for the race. Horses discussed: Salvator Mundi, Romeo Coolio, Kaid d'Authie, Kopek Des Bordes, Workahead, Kawaboomga, The New Lion, The Yellow Clay, Final Demand, Potters Charm, Irancy, Jax Junior, Funiculi Funicula, Jet Blue, Zillow, Redemption Day, Regent's Stroll, Lulamba, East India Dock, Hello Neighbour, Lady Vega Allen, Palladium, Sainte Lucie, Mondo Man, Charlus, Live Conti, Stencil.

Nick is joined by Mirror journalist David Yates to canter through today's horseracing headlines. They begin with reflections on the key performances from the weekend, with TPD's Adam Mills casting an eye over the technical merits of Jonbon and Lulamba. Today's feature interview is with Sara Bradstock, who charts the extraordinary and unlikely progress of her latest star Mr Vango. Also on today's show, Kenny McPeek tells Nick what he expects of his Kentucky Derby hero Mystic Dan ahead of this Saturday's Pegasus World Cup, while he also comments on the Ascot-Goodwood-York International runners bonus initiative, that is outlined here by Goodwood's Racing Director Ed Arkell. Jason Singh, Head of Marketing at Tattersalls, drops in with details of the upcoming February sale.
The Final Furlong Podcast is back with Emmet Kennedy and Adam Mills diving headfirst into the Cheltenham Novice Chasers! Starting with the Arkle, they debate whether Sir Gino is truly unbeatable after his stunning chase debut for Nicky Henderson or if there's a live each-way contender waiting in the wings, like Majborough, the Triumph Hurdle hero. Emmet even makes a bold case for a 50/1 longshot that could upset the odds. The duo also break down the potential stars of the season: L'Eau du Sud, Ile Atlantique, Firefox, and the highly anticipated Impaire Et Passe. And what about Ballyburn? Could his defeat over two miles be a blessing in disguise as Willie Mullins eyes the Brown Advisory? The Jukebox Man might stand in his way, but does Ballyburn have the class edge to triumph over three miles? To cap it off, they analyse big-value alternatives in the markets like Dancing City, Better Days Ahead, and Croke Park, and Emmet reveals a 20/1 handicap bet he's ready to back. Expect expert insights, bold opinions, and plenty of laughs along the way in this must-listen episode for racing fans! The Final Furlong Podcast is proudly brought to you by Geoff Banks Bet.
