It was the end of an era as Rachael Blackmore, the trailblazing jump jockey who made history when becoming the first female rider to win the Grand National and Gold Cup, announced her retirement last week. Join host James Stevens, Peter Scargill and David Jennings on this week's The Front Page to reflect on her remarkable rise to the top and her impact on the sport. In a busy show, the panel also looks at the Derby picture following the Dante at York and have mixed feelings on The Lion In Winter after his defeat. There is also crucial industry news on how tax changes could impact the sport's funding.

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.

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.

Michael Byrne was 36, a former professional jockey with over 100 winners, including at Cheltenham and Aintree. He rode in the 2014 Grand National and worked in racing until his passing. Saturday, May 3rd, will mark the first anniversary of Michael Byrne's passing with a mountain challenge in his memory — climbing Galtee Mór, Slievenamon, and the Devil's Bit in one day. The funds raised will go to Jigsaw, supporting youth mental health, and C-SAW in Clonmel, who help those affected by suicide. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by brother of late Michael, David Byrne. Photo(C): https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-hike-for-mike
