In this explosive episode of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Lee McKenzie and Tony McCormick to dive into the controversy surrounding Alphonse Le Grande's disqualification after his Cesarewitch victory. With jockey Jamie Powell breaching whip rules by going four over the limit, the disqualification was inevitable, but it's the punters who backed the rightful winner, Manxman, who've been left high and dry. The panel doesn't hold back as they debate the ethics of the decision, question the British Horseracing Authority's (BHA) motives, and challenge the very rules that supposedly protect animal welfare but end up undermining the sport's integrity. Later, Grand National-winning jockey Daryl Jacob joins Emmet to talk about his decision to retire, his thrilling return to action after injury, and his views on the controversial Sauna Ban. Plus, Daryl shares his excitement about a young horse to watch and the race he's most eager to win this season. It's a jam-packed episode full of fiery debate, industry insights, and must-hear stories. The Final Furlong Podcast is proudly brought to you by Geoff Banks Bet.

Sergio Perez rules the streets of Jeddah. Under pressure from his charging teammate, he held on to win the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. But what did the fight between the two Red Bull drivers reveal about the team and their championship challenge? Tom Clarkson, Damon Hill, Lee McKenzie and Aston Martin ambassador Pedro de la Rosa dive into the race. Winning Team Principal Christian Horner picks the best bits of Perez's performance and explains why Red Bull's early dominance doesn't mean ‘game over' for the other teams.

Today on Monday Mile we head to Holland Park for a stroll with a lady who has been a pioneer in the Pitlane, becoming the first woman to take on the main anchor role in F1 on British TV - it is Lee McKenzie! She's worked across some of the most prestigious events in sport, Olympics , Paralympics , Wimbledon and the Rugby World Cup . She's the consummate professional, one of the greats and delivers when it really counts even under pressure and streaming live into our living rooms. We have a great conversation about what makes a good broadcaster. We discuss whether journalism really deserves the paraphrase "dirty word" and as to whether broadcasters are out there to “nail someone to the masts”. We also chat about how F1 is considered to be an elite profession, and how the athlete's attitudes towards the sport has influenced Lee's professionalism towards her job as a broadcaster - "success and failure is measured by a thousandth of a second" . We discuss her relationship with the outdoors and the balance it brings, and how she juggles life on the road, broadcasting across multisport events and adapting to different time zones and prepping for one event whilst she's still mid-broadcast at another. We also talk about the importance of being “good” at the job, and not focusing on what other people might think, and whether it's true if you put everything into something it leaves no room for criticism. However, Lee does open up about trolling and the effects that can have on her relationship with body image. It's a great listen, and as someone who is a role model to me, I really enjoyed this walk and talk with Lee. Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on? Each episode drops on a Monday morning as a bitesize piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. Sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes, entrepreneurs, doctors, authors and broadcasters ' secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits. Head over to IG to watch the visuals of our episode and what we get up to on our Monday Mile. https://www.instagram.com/aimee_fuller/ Filmed by Jon Moy

Swimmer Liz Johnson won medals at three successive Paralympic Games, from Athens 2004 to London 2012, but even bigger accomplishments are happening day in, day out in the "second phase" of her career. Liz is passionate about making changes in the workplace and getting more companies and corporations to respect, hire and value more disabled employees. It's an untapped workforce, she believes, and an imbalance in society which continues, almost inexplicably. Some of Liz's stories about discrimination, both conscious and subconscious, will shock and surprise. As she reflects on the Covid-19 pandemic, it's impossible to argue with her assessment that flexible working conditions, requested by disabled workers for so long, have arrived much more readily now able-bodied staff are requiring them. It's a massively thought provoking conversation, with Jonathan Overend and Lee McKenzie, and if one employer listens and makes a change, then Liz will have done her job. But that job will continue, whether it does or it doesn't. Plus a debate about hotel breakfasts and toasting facilities therein.
A heavyweight alliance of some of the UK's most familiar sporting voices arrives at Series Two; Paralympic Feels. John Inverdale, Lee McKenzie, Sonja McLaughlan, Jonathan Overend and Andy Stevenson - all presenters at Paralympic Games for either TV and Radio - are your hosts for a series of incredible stories, running through 'what-would-have-been' the 2020 Paralympics. The team reflect on remarkable achievements they've witnessed, from the track and the pool to the blind football pitch. This is elite sport we're talking about, after all. Guesting on Episode One is probably the UK's most recognisable Paralympian; Tanni Grey-Thompson. Baroness Grey-Thompson, winner of 11 Paralympic Gold Medals, is a cross bench Life Peer in the House of Lords with many positions of responsibility within British society. Her frustrations with the treatment of disabled people, particularly in the workplace, become clear when she draws Covid-comparisons with "non-disabled" workers. She's acutely aware of the issues within disability sport which threaten future Paralympics. How can the classification system be improved? A thought-provoking conversation with hosts Jonathan Overend, John Inverdale and Sonja McLaughlan. Plus House of Lords dress codes, Zoom mix-ups and tackling "The Rock" Who wins?!
