In a special edition of the Final Furlong, Emmet Kennedy is joined by former jockey Martin Dwyer, the former CEO of the PJA, Paul Struthers, and top jockey Tom Marquand to prove that jockeys were unaware of the new BHA whip rules before their publication last summer. The perspectives shared by Martin and Tom, along with the findings presented in this episode's research, reveal that jockeys were kept uninformed during the whip consultation process. Even the few who were aware were prohibited from sharing any warnings about the new rules and the accompanying severe punishments for violations. This podcast strives to debunk the misconception that the majority of jockeys were aware of the rules before their release by the BHA and the PJA. The treatment of jockeys is deemed unjust, and this episode aims to shed light on the truth while advocating for reduced and equitable penalties. The objective is to enable jockeys to carry out their responsibilities without the looming threat of overly stringent bans.

For quite some time we've wanted to produce a podcast on VG247, but for assorted reasons nothing ever got off the ground. That has now changed. VG247's The Best Games Ever Podcast is here. “What is this new podcast?” you ask, with the child-like glee usually reserved for when you spot a new type of M&M or an ice cream version of a favourite childhood sweet. Well, it's quite simple, really. Each week three of us must present our choice for the best game ever that meets certain criteria. Then our host/judge, Jim Trinca, will decide who has made the best case and declare a winner. We'll never do something so simple as “Best horror game,” or “Best PS2 game.” That's just not what this show is about. We're trying to do something a little different, on the off-chance it's more fun than just a bunch of us sat around talking. Each week we'll have something specific to talk about, and that's it. There might be the odd hilarious segue, but the aim is to be more panel show-like. We're also trying to deliver a show that's about 30 minutes long. Enough to feel like you've been a part of something, but not so long that you need a week's worth of commutes/park walks to get through one episode. Hopefully, that's something you can get onboard with. That is it. We've got some details on the show's content below, so if you want to avoid spoilers, don't scroll beyond this warning. W A R N I N G Best game with a named horse This is the topic of Episode one of VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast. Here's a rundown of who picked what. Tom – Shadow of the Colossus This one is pretty obvious, and no doubt a favourite amongst readers/listeners. Shadow of the Colossus is a brilliant game that is considered by many to be a true classic. And it has a named horse in the shape of Agro. Team Ico's game is so good it's been remade/remastered twice, so has appeared on PS2, PS3, and PS4. Do you agree with Tom? Dorrani – Elden Ring Dorrani went for something more recent, with Elden Ring. Released earlier in 2022, Elden Ring is already considered a classic of the open-world genre, offering intense and challenging battles along with a world that is a joy to discover. The horse in Elden Ring is named Torrent, and has among other talents a rather incredible double-jump. What do you think? Is Elden Ring better than Shadow of the Colossus or is it too early to say? Alex – Final Furlong Out of nowhere, Alex produced this gem of an arcade game. Final Furlong sums up what arcade games can offer that consoles and PC's can't: huge peripherals. In this case, it's a massive plastic horse you must ride on. Alex insists that this is the best game with a named horse, but does one of many named racehorses really count? His favorite is called Miracle Thunder. Let us know what game you'd pick and which of the three you think should win in the comments below.

Mr David Ferguson preaches on Matthew 26:36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go over there and pray." 37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me." 39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will." 40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." 42 Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done." 43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

The police used many methods to locate Shergar and most interestingly they sought help from psychics, diviners and the mysterious Mobius group. They claimed to be able to locate Shergar and used parts of his saddle to sniff him out. A supergrass emerges claiming he knows the identity of the masked men. Is this the end? Not for Shergar's legacy, his sporting achievements are still adored and his name used widely today to symbolise something we may never see again.
