Aidan O'Brien ran the table at Epsom — and The Final Furlong Podcast is here to break it all down. Host Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and George Gorman for an expert postmortem on a Derby Festival dominated by Ballydoyle brilliance and Coolmore class.

Aidan O'Brien's 11th Derby triumph is the main focus of this week's edition of The Front Page, which also examines why so few people went to Epsom. Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Liam Headd reflect on Classic victories for Ballydoyle and Coolmore with Lambourn and Minnie Hauk, digging deep into the quality of this year's Derby and Oaks. The team also debates why the Derby day attendance has dropped so dramatically and asks what the crowd crisis means for the racecourse and Jockey Club. Away from Epsom, this week's show covers other major stories, including how British racing's stakeholders responded to Racing Post questions about incoming BHA chair Charles Allen's concerns over the sport's governance structure and Jim Mullen's first comments as Jockey Club group chief executive.

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 this episode of Seeing Them Live, we are thrilled to have Jose Rivera, founder, manager, and lead vocalist of the band Five Guys Named Moe. Jose shares his extraordinary journey from a budding musician to a prolific performer. He narrates how his fascination with the trumpet began in his early childhood and flourished during his time as a section leader and soloist for the United States Marine Corps. Jose describes his experiences performing before U.S. Presidents and numerous heads of state from 1972 to 1977.He shares captivating anecdotes about sharing stages with trumpet legends like Doc Severinsen and Al Hirt, and his early inspirations such as Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, and Bill Chase. One particularly memorable story includes a chance encounter with Chase the night before he left for Marine Corps basic training, which solidified his passion for high register trumpet playing. Jose also talks about the devastating impact of the plane crash in 1974 that tragically ended the lives of several members of the band Chase, and the emotional 40-year reunion concert that followed, filled with nostalgia and respect for the members who were lost. Jose reflects on his post-Marine Corps life and the formation of Five Guys Named Moe in 1988. The band quickly gained popularity with their unique style and vibrant performances, playing at numerous gigs across the Midwest every year. Jose's attention to professionalism and the importance of band dynamics and promotions are evident as he speaks about managing the band over the years. The impact of the Moe Heads, the band's loyal fans, is also a testament to their ongoing success. Jose underscores the hard work, dedication, and strategic planning required to sustain a band's longevity in the competitive music industry. As an experienced musician, he offers valuable insights about balancing artistic integrity with crowd-pleasing performances and the reciprocal importance of venue support in promoting events. By mingling with fans and maintaining a professional band practice, Jose ensures that Five Guys Named Moe remains a staple of vibrant live music in the Midwest.BANDS: Al Hirt, Bill Chase, Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Blues Brothers, Chicago, Chase, Doc Severinsen, Five Guys Named Moe, Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, Lovecraft, The Kind, United States Marine CorpsVENUES: CD and Me, Cousins, North and Maple, Tailgaters, Ballydoyle, Buddy Pals, Q Bar, Poplar Creek, Superdome PATREON:https://www.patreon.com/SeeingThemLivePlease help us defer the cost of producing this podcast by making a donation on Patreon.WEBSITE:https://seeingthemlive.com/Visit the Seeing Them Live website for bonus materials including the show blog, resource links for concert buffs, photos, materials related to our episodes, and our Ticket Stub Museum.INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/seeingthemlive/FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550090670708

Good to catch up with a young jockey who's forged a prominent spot among the powerful Sydney riding ranks in recent years. The Waterhouse/Bott duo supply regular rides to Adam Hyeronimus  in recognition of his unrelenting work ethic. He currently has 4 Gr 1 winners on his CV along with numerous stakes wins. We were able to pin Adam down last week for a lengthy chat about the early days of his apprenticeship and the road he's since travelled.  He begins by referencing the wonderful support he receives from Tulloch Lodge. Adam says he's no natural lightweight and needs to watch his diet at all times. It's well known that Adam descends from a family of jockeys on both sides of his pedigree. He pays tribute to those who've preceded him.  Adam makes special mention of his maternal grandfather the late Reg Paine, a former legend on western districts tracks. He also acknowledges the deeds of uncles Neil and Rodney Paine, both talented riders in their own right. He explains that two of his cousins are married to high profile jockeys. The popular jockey looks back on early days at Cowra when he gained expert riding tuition from a local trainer. He talks about a succession of trainers with whom he spent parts of his apprenticeship. Adam clearly recalls his first ever race ride at Bathurst in 2008. He looks back on his time with Grafton trainer John Shelton who supplied his first winning ride. Adam takes no credit for the win. With Shelton's support Hyeronimus decided to finish his apprenticeship in Sydney. He had a short time with Jason Coyle before transferring to Gai Waterhouse. He says it was a long time before Gai found him a job. Adam received an immense thrill when he was able to win the inaugural Kosciuszko for his old boss John Shelton. He talks affectionately of the veteran bush gelding Belflyer. He'd been having back problems before he was dislodged from a horse at Randwick on Everest day 2019. The harmless tumble exacerbated his problems to the extent that he was sidelined for 3 months. Adam recalls how close he went to opening his Gr 1 account on outsider Prince Fawaz in the Rosehill Guineas. He gave Castelvecchio a big fright. He says he didn't have to wait long to get the Gr 1 monkey off his back. Just one week later he led all the way to win the Vinery Stud Stakes for Waterhouse/Bott on Shout The Bar. Many people in racing address Adam by the nickname of “Hippo”. He explains how and when his well known sobriquet originated. The jockey looks back on the lowest point in his career- the prolonged investigation into his betting activities which would see him banned for two years and four months. He talks of the impact it had on his life and the time he spent in outside employment. Adam says his weight soared during the long layoff. He talks of his change in attitude after such a major disruption to his livelihood. Hyeronimus was chuffed to win his second Gr 1 on the gutsy filly Tropical Squall for his greatest supporters. The talented jockey was grateful to receive a top Gr 1 ride from the Godolphin organisation in the Spring Champion Stakes. He rode Tom Kitten perfectly to win the important three year old race.  Adam was thrilled to win another Gr 1 on the genuine filly Tropical Squall. He talks of his short but successful association with the imposing colt Storm Boy who's now in training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle. A Magic Millions win was a huge thrill for the jockey. Adam talks of his near miss on Lady Of Camelot in the Blue Diamond Stakes. He thought he was home. A good chat with a young horseman whose future looks assured in the fiercely competitive Sydney jockey's room.

Join Emmet Kennedy for an exclusive behind-the-scenes stable tour with legendary trainer Aidan O'Brien as he prepares his star-studded line-up for the 2024 Breeders' Cup.

Aidan also reveals insights on a talented filly he's always believed was perfect for the Breeders' Cup. We cover an exciting roster of contenders, including the most talented two-year-old he's sent to America since Johannesburg won the Juvenile in 2001. Aidan shares superb insights for the FFP Army to get us all on the Gravy Train, as one of the most accomplished trainers in the history of horse racing gears up for more Breeders' Cup success.

The great maestro of Ballydoyle joins the On The Wire team again to look forward to the big races at the Curragh this weekend, headlined by Savethelastdance's bid to win the Juddmonte Irish Oaks - but does she have most to fear from her own stablemates?!

Join Emmet Kennedy and Louis Steward as we review a classic weekend of racing at the Curragh, Newcastle, and Newmarket. We begin by hearing why Louis has decided to retire as a jockey at such a young age and find out how difficult it is to be a jockey at present with the BHA's whip rules and the sauna ban. Then we discuss Aidan O'Brien smashing more records as Auguste Rodin lands him a 100th European Classic success, leading home a 1-2-3-4 for Ballydoyle. Louis has a strong view on where the son of Deep Impact should run next and what to expect from him for the rest of the season. We also discuss what to expect from the beaten horses behind and who would be ideal for the St Leger. We review Via Sistina's controversial Pretty Polly win and look at the rules surrounding interference.  Additionally, we chat about Calling The Wind's Northumberland Plate victory for the 'Iron Man' Neil Callan, Commanche Falls' Listed win, another two-year-old winner for Ammo Racing with Bucanero Fuerte, a change in form for Charlie Appleby as Kemari, and an exciting juvenile win for Star Of Mystery at flat racing's HQ.

Nick and Lydia cast their eye over the Sunday Times report of the latest developments in the dispute involving leading jumps trainer Dan Skelton, while they look back over the detail of last week's Gambling Commission censure of betting giant Entain and ask what it should mean for the industry. Goffs UK MD Tim Kent previews the Doncaster Premier Yearling Sale and talks about a mission to reemphasize the sale's brand identity.

Ahead of the most prestigious meeting of the Flat Season, Richard Hoiles, Jane Mangan and Andrew Thornton are joined by the legend that is Aidan O'Brien. Aidan is on fine form, opening up about his training methods, extraordinary travel arrangements and some of the Ballydoyle superstars we'll be seeing at Royal Ascot.

Nick is joined by a wide array of personalities and professionals from around the racing world to pay tribute to Lester Piggott, the greatest of his generation and one of the most influential figures the sport has ever seen. Piggott died yesterday at the age of 86 in Switzerland. Among Nick's guests are Tom Magnier and Ben Sangster, scions of the dynasty that founded Coolmore in whose establishment Piggott was such a crucial part. Nick also talks to trainers Luca Cumani and Andre Fabre, to jockeys Kieren Fallon and Jimmy Quinn, and to Vincent Rossiter - the man who became close to Piggott through their time with Sir Ivor at Ballydoyle. TV personality Steve Mellish remembers Lester from a punter's perspective , while the Daily Mirror's Dave Yates provides and overview of Piggott's place in the sport.

Ryan Moore joins Kevin Blake to discuss the Ballydoyle stars that are set to cause fireworks in the season ahead. The 3-year-old colts, headed by Luxembourg and Point Lonsdale, look a smart bunch. Toy and Tenebrism are just two fillies discussed in detail, while a couple of smart two year olds are flagged up. Plenty of classic clues. A must listen for the campaign ahead.

The boys get together in person for the season finale of Zero Doinks's third year. Time flies when you're making jokes about Garfield's lasagna and John Wayne Gacy. From Ballydoyle's in Aurora comes Bill + Dan plus special guests galore as a new era of Bears football is soon on the horizon. No better way to end a season of Zero Doinks but with some hope, beer, new tunes and lots of immediately regrettable jokes. See you again in March, hope you enjoy, and thank you as always for giving us a shot. Special thanks: Bruce Springsteen for his inspiration for “Rick's on Fire,” Tony Doinks for his vocals at the end of said song, Coach Cuse for the music, Darren in Dublin for his closing tune, Greasetank Frank for letting us use his version of “Hurt,” Brad Swiggs for joining us, Brother Dave, Rick Feelsmen and Coach Cuse for their attendance, Ballydoyle's in Aurora for hosting us. 0:00 - 04:26 - Intro music, "Rick's On Fire," inspired by Bruce Springsteen, courtesy of Coach Cuse, Bill Doinks and Tony Doinks. 04:26 - 06:25 - What's on tap? Where are we? Who are we with? 06:25 - 29:04 - Hires have been made. What do the boys think about new GM Matt Poles and head coach Ryan Eberflus? Dan did a spontaneous deep dive on Flubberbus's Wiki page which led to a conversation about cats and Hungarian gymnast Nadia Comaneci. Rick Feelsmen talks about what made him such a weapon in high school. Brother Dave discusses animals in his home. Lasagna talk. 29:04 - 49:52 - Justin Fields is Gold. What did the boys think about JF1's rookie year in general, using a half-baked scale that Bill thought of on the fly. Rick Feelsmen talks about his missing thumbs again. Who was the worst Bears QB of all time? How will new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy help Fields reach his potential? Special guest Brad Swiggs jumps in 37:30 to answer some hard-hitting and personal questions about his life. 49:52 - 70:01 - Hamm's N Bread. Rick Feelsmen gives us a live Hamm's N Spreads and provides his hottest three picks for Super Bowl Sunday. Toffee's Corner (around minute 61) takes all sorts of turns with Newcastle fan Brother Dave in the house (apologies for the echos, it gets better the rest of the show). 70:01 - 82:02 - B1G Minute. March Madness is getting closer, how high can the Illini's seed rise and will the Gophers be joining them in the Field of 68? If the teams of choice for Coach Cuse and Brother Dave don't make the tourney, whose bandwagon will allow them to jump on? 82:02 - 92:06 - Gray Balls. The boys take advantage of having Coach Cuse, GM and coach of the defending champion 35+ intramural basketball team, in their presence. But the real highlight is when Rick Feelsmen presents Coach Cuse with a life-changing gift. 92:06 - 99:36 - Let's Wrap this M'Fer Up. The Hamm's were a'slappin', don't really remember where we went here. Thank you to our guests and loyal listeners! 99:36 - END - Mash-up of Rick Feelsmen's best quotes from S3. Darren from Dublin wraps up the season with a new take on a great tune. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zerodoinks/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/zerodoinks/support
