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.

We're approaching the fifth anniversary of one of the most unique race days ever seen in Sydney. Drastic covid protocols saw only jockeys, trainers and a handful of stable staff in attendance to watch the running of the Derby, Doncaster, T.J Smith and Sires Produce Stakes on day 1 of The Championships.. The day belonged to that pizza eating, beer swilling, arrogant mare Nettoyer who came from near last to win the Doncaster for trainer Wendy Roche and jockey James Innes Jnr. Jimmy joins us on the podcast to reminisce about an experience he still describes as surreal. James talks about his recent move to Canberra and a whole new phase in his career. It's not the first time he's had a Canberra connection. He says the eerie emptiness of Randwick on Doncaster day 2020 didn't detract from the thrill of winning his first Gr 1. James credits a well known Sydney trainer for getting him the ride on Nettoyer. He confirms the many stories that were doing the rounds about the mare's vile temperament. The jockey says it took him forever to get her to the mile starting point. A friend who worked on the barriers saved the day. James takes us through the running of the 2020 Doncaster. He says the mare went from a bolter's chance at the 800m to a realistic chance on top of the rise. He says he tried hard to control his emotions on returning to scale, but lost it completely. The jockey relates a humorous story about father James and mother Julie who watched the race at home. James Jnr pays a heartfelt tribute to his dad who rode many winners before his retirement in 2007. He talks about several trainers who contributed to his education along the way. James reflects on a serious fall at Bathurst which put him out for an extended period. He says it took a long time to get over the accident. He regards a stint with Keith Dryden during his apprenticeship as a life changer.   James looks back on a bout of depression during his time with the Godolphin operation. He was on the brink of quitting the saddle when he received a timely phone call from Gerald Ryan. He acknowledges the best horses he got to ride for the Ryan stable. One of them remains his all time favourite. The jockey has vivid memories of a stakes win for Waterhouse/Bott at Rosehill. He was pleasantly surprised. James talks affectionately of his young sons Carter and Asher who live in Victoria with their mother Aimee. He says Canberra is the perfect base for his regular day trips to country venues.  Innes says he's not as light as he used to be, but lighter than many of his fellow jockeys. James acknowledges the talents of partner Teaghan Martin who's had her share of injury in recent times. It's an enjoyable chat with a personable young man who's very good at what he does.

Zac Lloyd's day of days at Rosehill on February 22nd was soured by a five meeting suspension incurred on the third of his five winners on the programme. This remarkable quintet came just nine months after his previous best, a four win haul at Randwick. The Zac Lloyd story is well documented. He's the son of former champion jockey Jeff Lloyd who today acts as his son's manager and adviser. Zac's career began modestly with a win at Dalby in 2020. Just over four years later the 21 year old is sitting on 385 winners, two apprentice's titles and a couple of Gr 1's. Young Zac begins by looking back on his bittersweet day at Rosehill recently. He talks of his first ever race ride on the exciting three year old Broadsiding. The young jockey fully realises he won't be riding the colt on a regular basis. Zac talks of brother Jaden who rode a Gold Coast winner on the same day. He talks about a glut of suspensions he's had since relocating to Sydney, and emphasises his resolve to keep out of trouble. He says he was just four years old when his dad Jeff Lloyd decided to try his luck in Australia. He was just beginning to realise that his father was a very famous jockey. Zac clearly remembers another move when his father landed a Hong Kong contract. The young jockey looks back on the family's relocation back to Australia and the decision to settle on the Gold Coast. He's delighted to have Jeff Lloyd as his official manager. His father watches every move he makes in races. Zac says he regularly communicates with his mother Nicola, herself a member of a successful South African racing family. He talks about his initial apprenticeship to the Edmonds stable on the Gold Coast. His father was still riding trackwork at the time. The twenty one year old won't forget his first day at the races in November 2020. He got his first taste of the highs and lows of racing. Zac looks back on a brief transfer of his indentures to a Brisbane stable. He confirms that Darren Beadman played a role in his  apprenticeship to the Godolphin racing machine in Sydney. Zac talks about his first Sydney apprentice's title and a ding dong battle with good mate Dylan Gibbons. He was grateful to win a second junior title, a feat achieved with no allowance. Zac highlights some of the best horses he's ridden in the world famous royal blue silks of the Godolphin operation. The young jockey's capability to ride at a featherweight earned him the Stradbroke ride on Stefi Magnetica last year. He looks back on the dream run that carried him to victory, and to his first Gr 1 success. Zac looks back on his first Sydney Gr 1- the Flight Stakes on star filly Lady Shenandoah.  He talks about his current trackwork routine. Zac talks of his close friendship with fellow jockey and first cousin Chad Schofield. He talks about the luxury provided by his ability to ride so light, and the contrast of styles between himself and father Jeff. Zac looks at future aspirations and his appreciation of being a part of the vibrant Australian racing industry.

Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer Lee Mottershead to discuss the latest from around the racing world. On today's show - with Pic d'Orhy aiming to give him a first Grade One in a year - Paul Nicholls has fire in his belly as he assesses the strength of his team, new arrangements for sourcing his horses, and his competitive spirit being fuelled by "mini-me" Dan Skelton. Compelling stuff. Equally compelling is the interview with James McDonald about Romantic Warrior's bid to win the Saudi Cup. Plus, Godolphin's Alex Merriam on Rebel's Romance and the Amir Sword, QREC handicapper Neil Jennings on this weekend's action, and Guillermo Arrizkoreta - Spain's leading trainer - on conquering Dubai.

The first of the virtual win-and-you're-in qualifiers for Kentucky Derby 2025 arrives Saturday with the Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds in New Orleans. That is where the spotlight is focused for this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Trainer Brendan Walsh discusses morning-line favorite East Avenue, who carried two open-lengths victories into the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. That was where a stumbling start doomed him to finish off the board. Walsh discusses how the 3-year-old Godolphin homebred colt has been doing since his disappointment at Del Mar and how he hopes East Avenue's Grade 1-winning form will show itself again. Fair Grounds track announcer John G. Dooley checks out East Avenue and other contenders in the Risen Star as well as undefeated Good Cheer, who will be favored to win the Rachel Alexandra (G2) and the Kentucky Oaks (G1) first-place qualifying points that go with it. Super Screener creator Mike Shutty offers handicapping tips for the Risen Star and two turf stakes in New Orleans, including the Fair Grounds Stakes presented by Horse Racing Nation (G3) and the Colonel Power sprint. Listener and reader feedback is focused on the Florida bill that would allow Gulfstream Park and Tampa Bay Downs to decouple their Thoroughbred and gaming licenses, opening the door for either track to stop racing while still running their slot machines and poker tables. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.

A football star-turned-horse owner, a trainer having a renaissance in Kentucky Derby preps, a Pick 5 on Saturday at Gulfstream Park and the botched pronunciation of a horse are topics on the table for this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Former Pro Bowl quarterback Jake Delhomme talks about his love of the game, and that would be Thoroughbred racing. He discusses a little football and his 12 years as a stable owner but also the two horses he has running this weekend on Louisiana Champions day. Touchuponastar and Mangum could be returning with Delhomme to a familiar place for all of them, namely the winner's circle at Fair Grounds. Trainer Eoin Harty has won Kentucky Derby preps this fall with First Resort in the Grade 1 Kentucky Jockey Club and Poster in the Remsen (G2). He discusses the path to perhaps his first Derby starter in 14 years and how Godolphin has helped him get some 2-year-old standouts in his barn. Paddock Prince handicapper David Levitch has weekend handicapping for the last five races Saturday at Gulfstream Park along with some thoughts about the Los Alamitos Futurity (G2), a Derby points prep the same day. He and Flatter also serve up a creative way to say the name of a horse who Levitch likes. Co-host John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times will offer his highlights and perspective from the Global Symposium on Racing in Tucson, Ariz., and he will help digest a sad chapter this week involving a fire in Flatter's hometown Chico, Calif. Oh, yes. There will be a word or two about the Kentucky Derby points preps, namely the Remington Springboard Mile in Oklahoma and the Los Alamitos Futurity (G2) in California. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.

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.

Kia Joorabchian's colossal spending spree, a controversial Cesarewitch and fears over a tax raid on bookmakers are all up for discussion in this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Jonathan Harding and David Jennings kick things off by looking at last week's explosive yearling sale in Newmarket, where Amo Racing's Joorabchian spent over £24 million, in the process thwarting bloodstock superpowers Coolmore and Godolphin. We examine why he did it and where it might lead? Next up is a review of the Future Champions Festival at Newmarket, where Alphonse Le Grande won a Cesarewitch he might lose on Tuesday due to his rider's use of the whip. We ask if the system needs changing and reflect on the Dewhurst Stakes and Fillies' Mile. Finally, we look at reports suggesting the government is considering major increases in betting duty that could decimate British racing's finances. We assess just how bad that could be for the sport.

Sam Hart is joined by Keith Melrose, Jonny Pearson and Unibet's Brett Williams to preview the action at Chepstow, Newmarket and York this weekend. In the first part of the show, the panel look at Friday's card at Chepstow. The Grade 2 Unibet Persian War Novices' Hurdle is the feature on Friday as the jumps season gets well and truly up and running.  Newmarket has five live races on ITV4 on Saturday. The Dewhurst Stakes looks an intriguing contest with two Godolphin horses taking on the Ballydoyle contender The Lion In Winter. The team also tries to solve the tricky puzzle that is the Cesarewitch Handicap. The panel then look at York, where the Sprint Trophy Handicap is the feature race. There have been a few surprises in the sprint division this year. Could there be another one on Saturday?  The team finish by sharing their other selections along with their weekend NAPs.

I've had the pleasure of interviewing Darren Beadman many times but not so much in recent years. Spotted him at Graham McNeice's recent funeral service, and it occurred to me that “Shadow” would have insisted I feature the former star jockey on this podcast.  Darren's a busy boy these days in his role as Race Day Operations Manager for Godolphin, with little time to spare. We pinned him down last Friday after he'd completed duties at the Rosehill barrier trials. It's just a relaxed chat between two old racing mates. Darren talks about the importance of official trials in the Godolphin operation. He explains that communication with race day media has become a significant part of his role with Godolphin. Darren says he's got a bigger advantage than most when listening to post race reports from the many jockeys used by Godolphin. He reflects on the horrific Hong Kong accident that terminated his stellar riding career. Darren outlines the complexities of his diffuse axonal brain injury and the subsequent rehabilitation period.  He names the best horse he got to ride during his time in Hong Kong. The celebrated jockey takes us back to childhood days in Canberra and his earliest association with horses. He reflects on his good fortune in having the opportunity to learn his trade under the legendary Theo Green. Darren talks about an early apprentice's premiership win and his first Gr 1 success- A Golden Slipper on Inspired for his boss. He remembers another Slipper win 13 years later on Guineas. The 58 year old remembers his relocation to France as a 19 year old. Despite ongoing homesickness, he managed to win 50 races including the Gr 1 Prix Morny at Deauville.  Darren takes us through the remarkable story of his Melbourne Cup win on Kingston Rule in 1990. The royally bred stayer carried the Kingston Town colours and elevated his fresh faced young jockey to racing's biggest stage. This man was privileged to ride some of the greatest horses of his generation. He talks with great affection about Saintly, known colloquially as “the horse from heaven”. Predictably he lights up when asked to pay tribute to the amazing Octagonal. Darren pays an even bigger tribute to Octagonal's son Lonhro. He rates the champion's two best wins. Another great horse Beadman got to ride was Super Impose. He won seven races on the versatile champion. Darren remembers the 1991 Epsom when Super Impose did the impossible to complete a staggering quartet of Gr 1 mile victories at Randwick. He had  only two rides on the great mare Let's Elope. One of them resulted in a stunning Australian Cup win. He looks back on his bombshell decision to leave racing at the top of his game to join the Christian Life Centre as a Minister. He recalls his many duties for the church, and his role as a Skychannel presenter. Darren confirms that wife Kim recently began her quest for a PHD in Psychology.  The family man talks of daughters Rachel and Jessica who've each provided their parents with a granddaughter. Darren brings us up to date on the current activities of son Mitch who himself rode more than 100 winners in a very brief riding career. I'm embarrassed to confess this is Darren's first appearance on our podcast. I deserve a severe reprimand.

In this special edition of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy sits down with Jason Singh, Marketing Manager for Tattersalls, to discuss the upcoming Tattersalls October Yearling Sales, one of the most prestigious events in European bloodstock.

  If pedigree has any bearing there was always a strong likelihood James Orman would become a jockey. His father Michael showed some talent in a very brief career before increasing weight terminated his aspirations. His mother Caroline Allardyce has been a trainer for forty years, and increased her team numbers when James became her stable apprentice in 2013. Young Orman's emergence as one of Australia's best jockeys has been spectacular. He begins by talking about his flying start in the new racing season. James, or Jimmy as he's popularly known, talks about life on his Nudgee property with Heidi and their children Floyd and Hallie.  The talented jockey talks of childhood days at Forest Hill, his involvement in pony club and a passion for gymnastics. He outlines some highs and lows from his time as a gymnast. Jimmy says riding was second nature to him by the time he elected to become indentured to his trainer/mother. He looks back on his very first race ride at Nanango. He finished third but believes he should have won the race. He remembers his first winning ride on the same track. James says his first metropolitan win was one of the most thrilling of his career. The horse was trained by his mum and won with ease. The jockey says his first three rides in the city were all winners. Jimmy says he's ridden more winners for Kelly Schweida than he has for any other trainer. He acknowledges Schweida's unwavering support. He acknowledges the ongoing backing of some of Brisbane's high profile stables. The twenty seven year old remembers a special deal he made with his mother should she allow him to leave school. He says people are never quite sure what they should call him. He prefers “Jimmy”. James takes us through his impressions of the best horses he's ridden in recent years with special mention of Niccanova, Prince Of Boom and Far Too Easy. The outstanding jockey looks back on his opportunity to win a stakes race for the powerful Godolphin operation.  Jimmy rates Antino as the best horse he's ridden to date. After nine Queensland wins on the Gollan trained galloper he was retained for the ride in the black type Tontonan Stakes in Melbourne.  The experience turned out to be a nightmare.  He hopes for an opportunity to get another crack in Melbourne. Orman talks of a surprise invitation from expat Queensland trainer Michael Costa to spend two weeks in Dubai late last year. The experience turned out to be everything that Melbourne wasn't. He created a huge impression with five wins on one programme. He also rode a winner at Meydan which boasts a spectacular jockey's room. Jimmy pays tribute to the jockeys who've influenced his career. He talks of two debilitating injuries sustained in racing accidents. The star jockey says his weight is fairly stable at 56 kgs provided he observes all the rules. Jimmy hints at a few immediate goals. It's a nice chat with yet another champion horseman from the sunshine state.

Aly Vance, Geoff Banks, and Emmet Kennedy review Royal Ascot and ask if it has become racing's greatest festival. We chat about the star performances from Rosallion, Henry Longfellow, Charyn, Porta Fortuna, Opera Singer, Haatem, Auguste Rodin, Isle Of Jura, Kyprios, Inisherin, Asfoora, Khaadem, Port Fairy, Fairy Godmother, Bedtime Story, and more. With Oisin Murphy, Sean Levey, James Doyle, Billy Loughnane, Rossa Ryan, Tom Marquand, Colin Keane, Callum Shepherd, Dylan Browne McMonagle, and Ryan Moore excelling, who needs Frankie? We chat about potential election interference by the Gambling Commission. What is going on with Godolphin after Charlie Appleby drew a blank for the second consecutive Royal Ascot, while Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore were crowned leading trainer and rider yet again? Plus, has ITV Racing become the propaganda arm of British racing? This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try.

How much do you know about your local and the people that run it. Why they do what they do. What they enjoy about this profession. What they enjoy....less so. Be it core classics or specials and seasonals, the independent on-trade is essential in offering a platform to countless brewery's beers. And for patrons and producers in West London, they're fortunate to have a brilliant pub that does just that. Run by husband and wife duo Tim and Tosh, alongside canine companion Dexter, The Brook is part of the rich beer and brewing fabric of Brentford. After running a wealth of London's best-known pubs, giving a boost and a stage to excellent, independent, beer is a huge part of their raison d'être. The Brook was founded as 'The Royal Oak' beer house in 1787 and it was originally a standard corner property, later expanded into properties in New Road. It belonged to the Royal Brewery of Brentford. The Royal Oak was licensed as a public house by 1894 and it was built in its present form in that year 1894, possibly being partially rebuilt in the 1920s. ​ The Strawberry House beer house was established by 1871 at 33 New Road where a member of the Gomm family (the brewers) was noted as a beer seller there. It was probably named after the large area of market gardens that used to exist in the area between Brook Road and Ealing Road. One of the market gardeners, Thomas William Beach, founded a jam factory in Brentford and he won awards for his strawberries at the Great Exhibition in 1851. The beer house was closed after 1896 by which time it was known as The Patriot. ​ Licensees of The Royal Oak included John Carter (1869), Richard Lewis (1870), Elizabeth Gardner (1894), Boaz Stallwood (1901) and Albert Coles (1914-1937). Stan Johnson was the landlord of The Royal Oak until 1960. By 1957 Stan had decided that he would become a publican and he moved to The Royal Oak after completing his training at The City Barge at Strand on the Green. In 1960 Stan and his wife moved to the Midlands, first in Walsall and then in Bridgnorth. ​ The Royal Oak was closed for some time and re-opened as 'The Brook' in June 2019 with Tim and Tosh Rider as the owners. Tim explains: "My introduction to the pub trade was Godolphin's just near Brentford Lock in 1989. My stint there made me realise I had a genuine love for the hospitality pub trade…so, thank you Brentford for that! I joined Whitbread soon after becoming the manager of The King's Head in Chiswell Street near the Barbican Center. "I met Tosh in The Blue Posts, in Soho, 20+ years ago. We married in 2002 when we were both running Bar Mosko in Holborn, then we spent 10 years at The Tabard in Chiswick followed by 2 years at the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in Fleet Street. Between the two of us we have gained strong links and experience within the pub industry. "We took the lease on for The Royal Oak in Brentford in March 2019 and the pub showed real promise plus a chance for both of us to finally put down some roots. The Royal Oak needed some love so after 3 months of getting the pub back into some order, we changed the name to 'The Brook'…it was time for a fresh start. "We are immensely proud of The Brook, how it looks and we are committed to becoming the local “village pub” in Brentford. So come and relax with our great selection of craft ales/beers, great wines, spirits and good food alongside good company and an extensive selection of vinyl and digital music!" In this episode we speak to Tim about the joys, and challenges, of running an independent pub, the importance of connecting with the community, operating in an area synonymous with football but not being defined by it, and the duo's love of pouring brilliant beers from the UK's best.
