Royal Ascot is here and The Front Page has you covered with all the key angles covered across five fantastic days of Flat racing. Host James Stevens asks panellists David Jennings and Liam Headd whether the St James's Palace Stakes, featuring three Guineas winners, is the race of 2025? The panel also look at the Gold Cup, the biggest race across the meeting, and share some of their best fancies across the week. British racing was also at a 'tipping point' according to MPs who called on the government to help save the sport. The panel also discuss the tricky financial climate for the sport.

Tom Stanley in for Nick and joined by broadcaster Matt Chapman to look ahead to the Betfred Derby Festival. We hear from Andrew Cooper out on the track at Epsom who gives us a conditions update. Matt want to hear from Hector Crouch re his Classic rides and Hector tells us what he's expecting from Revoir and Stanhope Gardens. We are also joined by Robert Cowell who has seven potential runners across the two Dash races. Matt and Tom then have wider discussions about both the Derby's relevance to Epsom and the success of Wednesday's draw at the Epsom Picturehouse. They also discuss the relevance of the Triple Crown with this year's Guineas winner lining up in the Derby. US broadcaster Michelle Yu gives here Belmont Stakes views and Total Performance Data's Adam Mills puts some figures on the race. And we are joined by CEO of the Matt Hampson Foundation ahead of this weekend's Chamonix Challenge.

In this Epsom Festival Data Special, Final Furlong Podcast host Emmet Kennedy is joined by RaceiQ Lead Analyst Page Fuller to strip away the hype and reveal what the numbers say about this year's Derby, Oaks, and Coronation Cup. In the Betfred Derby, Page breaks down the full performance data on The Lion In Winter, Lambourn, and Delacroix, plus gives the RaceiQ verdict on Dante winner Pride Of Arras, dark horses Stanhope Gardens and Tornado Alert, and tackles the key question: Why isn't 2000 Guineas winner Ruling Court the Derby favourite? Then it's the Oaks, as the team evaluates the credentials of red-hot favourite Desert Flower — does the data support her dominance, or is she vulnerable? Page also unpacks the profiles of top threats in the field and potential value plays hiding in plain sight. We close with a stats-backed look at the Betfred Coronation Cup, featuring elite international contenders like Calandagan, Jan Brueghel, and seasoned stayer Giavellotto.

The guys look back on a busy May of racing with the final races of the jump season plus the flat campaign kicks into action with the first Classics of 2025 and the Lockinge Stakes.

The way James McDonald is reeling off Gr 1 wins it seems certain he'll need only two more full seasons to seriously threaten Damien Oliver's record of 129 Australian wins at the elite level. Until that happens we can continue to appreciate the distinguished record “Ollie” left behind when he retired from race riding seventeen months ago. Those 129 Gr 1's were the highlights of a magnificent career tally of 3189. Throw in 14 Scobie Breasley medals, 10 Melbourne jockey's premierships and an induction into the Racing Australia Hall of Fame at age 36, and you've got one hell of a record. Damien's Melbourne Cup win on Media Puzzle in 2002 came just days after the death of his jockey brother Jason who'd suffered multiple injuries in a Perth barrier trial fall. The story of the tragedy behind Media Puzzle's win made news around the world and remains a part of Australian racing folklore. A podcast seemed the best way to identify and document the many facets of the fascinating life of one of our best ever jockeys. “Ollie” was happy to oblige and we caught him in reminiscent mood.  He begins by admitting he still gets an occasional withdrawal symptom when the big races roll around. Damien talks of his final day in the saddle- a four race international jockey's series in Saudi Arabia. He looks back on his final Melbourne Cup carnival. Three wins over the week consolidated his all time record of 88 wins for the four day carnival. The former ace jockey looks back on his final day of riding in Australia. From seven rides at Perth's Ascot track he won the last three races to the delight of 10,000 racegoers. It was an emotional day for the WA born horseman. He talks about the death of his father Ray in a Kalgoorlie race fall in 1975. He was just three years old. Damien reflects on his original apprenticeship to step father Lindsay Rudland, and the unforgettable thrill of his very first winning ride at Bunbury. He recalls the manner in which negotiations played out for his transfer to the Freedman stable in Melbourne. He says the experience was intimidating in the beginning. The multiple premiership winner reflects on the first of his 129 Gr 1 victories. He was just 18 years old at the time.  He agrees that Mannerism's Caulfield Cup win in 1992 was the one to propel him onto the big stage. Damien is happy to admit his first Melbourne Cup appearance finished in a disaster. He's still in disbelief that he was able to win 18 Gr 1's before completing his apprenticeship. Damien reflects on the first of his three Melbourne Cup wins on Doriemus in 1995. He pays special tribute to the top class stayer. He was happy to revisit the incredible Media Puzzle story of 2002. The death of brother Jason following a freak accident in a Perth barrier trial and the reason for his decision to ride the Irish stayer in the Melbourne Cup. He remembers the race, the emotion, the aftermath and the release of a movie called The Cup nine years later. He recalls the circumstances leading up to his engagement for Fiorente in the 2013 Melbourne Cup. He'd never ridden the horse in a race but played a major part in the stallion's preparation leading up to the big race. Damien talks of three second placings in the famous event. He reflects on some favourite moments from his Gr 1 journey beginning with his first Cox Plate success on Dane Ripper in 1997. Damien remembers his second Cox Plate win on the great West Aussie Northerly. He had to survive a double protest. The champion jockey has won some major races several times over. He looks back on multiple victories in races like the Victoria Oaks, the Victoria Derby, and the 1000 Guineas.  Damien talks of several great sprinters he got to ride with special mention of the powerful grey Schillaci. Oliver won 5 races on the brilliant Testa Rossa including 3 Gr 1's. He reflects on one famous defeat at the hands of Redoute's Choice in the 1999 Caulfield Guineas. Damien says the last elite horse he rode was the multiple Gr 1 winner Anamoe. He picked up the ride on the emerging superstar when Covid restrictions prevented James McDonald from commuting to Melbourne. He was chuffed to finally snare a Golden Slipper win on Sydney filly Forensics in 2007. He had a beautiful run from the inside gate but had a fight on his hands to stave off Zizou. Damien was happy to talk about one career low point- an eight month disqualification after being found guilty of a betting offence. He explains how it took two years before he was actually charged.  He looks back on the worst of the many injuries he sustained in 35 years of race riding- a spinal fusion enabled him to keep going for another 18 years. Damien talks of the reaction of wife Trish to his retirement announcement in 2023, and the current activities of daughters Niali and Zara and son Luke. It's a laid back chat with a jockey regarded by many racing students as one of the greatest in Australian racing history.

Field Of Gold and Lake Victoria produced devastating performances to become Irish Guineas champions over the weekend. Not surprisingly, they are the first main talking points in this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Maddy Playle and Liam Headd look back at all the top weekend action and debate whether either of the two Classic winners is worth backing now to follow up at Royal Ascot. The panel also asks why the Curragh looked so quiet for the Guineas festival and assess how Los Angeles, Anmaat, Kalpana, White Birch and Sosie fared in Group 1 prizes that whet the appetite for the months ahead. Following the launch of British racing's new national marketing campaign, Maddy, Liam and Lee give their views on what they have seen so far and then wrap up last week's other major news stories, including the BHA's threat to block racecourses from staging fixtures.

Owen Burrows also has an update in Anmaat who heads to the Curragh on Sunday for the Tattersalls Gold Cup. Then Richard Fahey, William Buick and Jonathan Portman discuss their chances at Haydock before William Haggas previews his busy weekend which include him sending out Group 1 winners Dubai Honour & Lake Forest amongst others.

A classic weekend of racing is here — and The Final Furlong Podcast is ready with Group 1s, bold opinions, and big-value plays. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Andy Newton to preview a stacked two days at The Curragh, Goodwood, Beverley, and Haydock, with a Lucky 15 that pays 1630/1! In the Irish 2000 Guineas, the panel is united in taking on the odds-on favourite — and we explain why Field Of Goldcould be set for redemption under Colin Keane. We also preview the Greenlands Stakes, where an Australian import for Aidan O'Brien makes his Irish debut — but two of the team prefer a sharp-looking 8/1 shot. Over in Britain, we cover six key races, including the Temple Stakes, the Sandy Lane, and two major juvenile tests at Beverley. Then it's back to The Curragh for a massive Sunday featuring the Tattersalls Gold Cup — can Los Angeles turn the tables on White Birch, or is there a party spoiler waiting?And in the Irish 1000 Guineas, we break down strong runners from Aidan O'Brien and Dermot Weld, and three of the team are against the favourite...

The Flat season is hotting up and there is more Classic action this weekend with the Irish 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas taking centre stage. Presenter James Stevens is joined by the Racing Post's deputy betting editor Graeme Rodway, handicapper Jonny Pearson and Unibet's Ed Nicholson to assess the action from the Curragh, Haydock, Goodwood and Beverley.

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.

Josh Stacey in for Nick and joined by Jonathan Harding of the Racing Post to reflect on the action over the weekend, starting with Shes Perfect's demotion to second pace in yesterday's French 1000 Guineas. Her trainer and owner Charlie Fellowes and Basher Watts share their thoughts and ask for answers with regards to Barzalona's riding tactics in the later stages. Then Anthony Dunkley takes a look at this week's Preakness Stakes before retiring jockey Max Kendrick shares what's next for him out of the saddle.

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.

Then Anthony Dunkley takes a look at this week's Preakness Stakes before retiring jockey Max Kendrick shares what's next for him out of the saddle.

To lose a Classic in the stewards' room is tough. For it to have happened to Kieran Shoemark in Paris on Sunday felt impossibly cruel. The disqualification of Shes Perfect following the French 1,000 Guineas - which prompted cries of "cheat" and "disgrace" in the Longchamp paddock - and her jockey's demotion by the Gosdens is the first story up for discussion in this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Liam Headd reflect on Shoemark's miserable week in a programme that highlights the very different sort of week enjoyed by Aidan O'Brien and Hollie Doyle. In a show packed with subjects, the team also ask early questions about British racing's new £3.6 million marketing campaign, Ascot's decision to get rid of the ladies' team at the Shergar Cup and worrying news about declining foal crops in Britain and Ireland.

After a fabualous three days of racing on the Roodee where Aidan O'Brien totally dominated the Classic trials Charlotte Greenway recaps on his reaction to these performances as well as his comments on The Lion In Winter, ahead of his return to action at York next week. Richard Hannon is hoping that Nightime Dancer will prove his Derby credentials at Lingfield this weekend and explains why he thinks he could be under rated before Charlie Fellowes looks ahead to his two runners in France's equivalent of the 1000 & 2000 Guineas at Deauville on Sunday.

Special guest today is Lachlan Fitt, co-founder of the Global Jockeys' Challenge that is set to make a significant entry on to the scene in 2026.

Ned Toffey from Spendthrift Farm celebrates another Kentucky Derby winner from their supersire Into Mischief, while Timeform's Dan Barber puts the Guineas performances into context.

Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop to reflect on a tremendous weekend of sport, during which the Godolphin ownership scooped all four intercontinental Classics, the 1000 and 2000 Guineas, plus the Kentucky Derby and Oaks. They are joined by Godolphin MD Hugh Anderson, Kentucky Derby winning rider Junior Alavarado, double-Classic placed trainer Ollie Sangster, and Adam Mills from Total Performance Data. Plus, Nick and Lydia discuss the reaction to the ride on Field of Gold in the 2000 Guineas, Francis Graffard's view on geldings in the Arc, the balance of the three racedays at Newmarket and much more.

Big stories and big races are up for discussion as Lee Mottershead and Jonathan Harding talk about some of the sport's hottest issues in this week's edition of The Front Page. Frankie Dettori, Ryan Moore and William Buick have signed up to a new $15 million global jockeys' league that is expected to launch across some of the world's most prestigious racing venues early next year. We assess its chances of bringing a new audience to the sport. Buick's place among the world racing elite was confirmed over the weekend at Newmarket, where he teamed up with Charlie Appleby to win both the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas, while in America Godolphin also landed the Kentucky Derby and Oaks. We look back on the Classic action and reflect on a Punchestown festival that was fantastic for fans of Galopin Des Champs but terrible for the increasingly long-suffering supporters of Constitution Hill. This week's show ends with more bad news of crashing betting turnover and worrying suggestions that the government is considering tax changes that seem set to heap yet more woe on British racing.
