Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills (Total Performance Data) and Jack Veitch to preview the opening two days of the Doncaster St Leger Festival, plus Saturday's blockbuster Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown.

John Duggan and Johnny Ward are back with another episode of The Racing Pod to preview all the weekends racing action, and we'll hear from William Hills Sam Norris who'll give us all the tips for the upcoming races.

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.

Host James Stevens is joined by RP tipster Graeme Rodway, handicapper Jonny Pearson and Unibet ambassador Ed Nicholson as they go through the big races from Leopardstown, Sandown and Musselburgh, as well sharing some of their views for the upcoming Cheltenham Festival. The Dublin Racing Festival takes centre stage, will Willie Mullins repeat his success of 2024 by winning all eight Grade 1 races once again? Sandown hosts the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices' Chase where Jango Baie is a warm favourite, but are our team with or against him? We then head to Musselburgh where Paul Nicholls is attempting to win the Scottish Triumph Hurdle Trial for the third year in a row. The team finish off by providing their weekend NAPs.

The road to Cheltenham heats up after a fascinating festive season of racing. Emmet Kennedy, Peter Michael, and Andy Newton break down the key takeaways from Christmas racing, including Constitution Hill's triumphant return in the Christmas Hurdle, dethroning former ante-post Champion Hurdle favourite Lossiemouth. Is Constitution Hill a certainty to regain his crown, or are there still questions about his brilliance? Galopin Des Champs stamped his authority at Leopardstown, reversing form with stablemate Fact To File and cementing himself as the favourite to join legends like Best Mate with a third Gold Cup. Can anyone topple him, or is his dominance unassailable? Should Fact To File switch to the Ryanair Chase, and is there a sleeper bet at 14/1 for that race? Finally, the Champion Chase division gets dissected—was Jonbon, the horse who didn't run, the biggest winner of the festive period? And does he deserve his status as the division's standout contender? Get ready for the ultimate Cheltenham discussion as the team takes you through all the drama, debates, and betting insights from the season's most informative races.

A major data skills initiative to help thousands of non-IT Irish professionals to become data literate and keep pace with the digital revolution has been launched, supported by Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet in collaboration with Microsoft. Data SMART is aimed at equipping professionals across Ireland who do not work in IT-based roles with the confidence and essential data skills - or data literacy - that they need to thrive in today's workplace. Created by the Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet in association with the Analytics Institute and Microsoft, thousands of non-tech workers can now ensure that their skills are current and relevant to a digital future. Studies show that those staff that are familiar with core data skills will progress faster in their careers. Furthermore, research confirms that companies making data-driven decisions make faster market progress and revenue. Data SMART will allow working professionals to acquire data literacy competence in a flexible, low-cost way during a 12-week learning window that combines online tutorials with hands-on, interactive workshops. Participants will acquire skills in Data Collection and Cleaning, Data Transformation and Interpretation, Data Visualisation and Storytelling, as well as Ethics, Privacy, Security and Data Governance. A Data SMART Foundation Certificate in Data Skills will be awarded by the Analytics Institute and Microsoft to recognise participants' new data skills. Commenting at the launch of Data SMART in Microsoft HQ in Leopardstown, Dublin yesterday, Maire Hunt, Network Director of Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet, said: "Data SMART is the most ambitious national upskilling opportunity for companies to adopt essential data skills that has been created to date. Our ambition is to train over 10,000 professionals from all backgrounds and across all sectors over the next three years." Lorcan Malone, Analytics Institute CEO, said: "Already multiple companies have signed up for the Data SMART Initiative with companies able to train large numbers of staff in a very flexible, low-cost manner, with minimum impact on the flow of work. This will boost careers national and internationally, as well as enabling leaders to adopt a data driven approach to decisions in an increasing challenging commercial landscape." Microsoft, a world leader in technology, sees this initiative as a chance to equip Irish workers with practical data knowledge and provide a stepping stone to better skills and brighter career prospects. Microsoft Ireland Head of Future Skilling, Dr Kevin Marshall, said: "Microsoft Ireland is committed to providing upskilling opportunities for all. As organisations engage with the AI revolution, data analysis skills are fundamental. This initiative will equip individuals with crucial skills for effective data navigation and informed decision-making. We are pleased to collaborate with the Technolofgy Ireland Digital Skillnet and the Analytics Institute on this important programme." How to Apply for the Data SMART Initiative: Data SMART is open to workers in the Republic of Ireland with part-funding available from Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet. Spaces are limited, so interested professionals are encouraged to apply soon.

This investment is supported by the Government of Ireland through IDA Ireland. Taoiseach Simon Harris said: "I very much welcome Microsoft's announcement today. Not only does this highlight Ireland's attractiveness as an investment destination, it also promises a significant boost for the AI ecosystem in Ireland. Fostering AI skills and advancing capabilities in the field are core to the Government's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy and this project will help develop new specialist skills and expertise, thereby positioning Ireland for further investment in this critical area." Tara Roth, Microsoft Ireland Executive Site Sponsor and Corporate Vice President, Engineering, Microsoft said: "Today we are delighted to announce a strategic investment in our Irish operations that will strengthen our AI capabilities globally.

Microsoft has announced the launch of its latest Dream Space TV series, Code Green, aimed at providing teachers across Ireland with new STEM teaching resources to inspire young students to become sustainability champions in their schools and communities. The release of the Code Green series coincides with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Week 2024, a Government of Ireland led initiative, taking place from September 20th to 29th. Developed by Microsoft, in collaboration with Irelands Knowledge Centre for Carbon, Climate and Community Action (IKC3) at Munster Technological University and supported by RTÉ Learn, Code Green provides hands-on educational resources designed to help young people understand the role they can play in creating a more sustainable future. Furthermore, students are given the opportunity to develop their STEM skills and are challenged to apply those to advance sustainability in their school community. Aligned to the EU Green Deal 2050, each of the six freely available on-demand Microsoft Dream Space TV Code Green episodes focus on a different aspect of sustainability, from building eco-friendly vehicles and coding energy-saving programs to using AI tools to monitor biodiversity and creating sustainability plans for schools. The series is being rolled out on RTÉ Learn over a six-week period from September 27th. Upon completion of the six episodes schools will have the opportunity to enter the Code Green challenge and submit an entry to participate in the Code Green Showcase event, which will take place at Microsoft's campus in Leopardstown, Dublin in June 2025. The Code Green resources being unveiled today align fully with the Government's Second National Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development and its priority of empowering and mobilising young people to upskill and take action for a more sustainable future. Each Code Green episode is designed for easy integration into the classroom, with detailed teacher guides, worksheets, and curriculum links to support the Irish primary curriculum. Commenting on today's announcement, James O'Connor, Microsoft Ireland Site Leader and Corporate Vice-President of Microsoft Global Operations Service Centre, said: "We are delighted to be marking SDG Week 2024 by rolling out the new Microsoft Dream Space TV series - Code Green. With the help of the latest series available on RTE Learn, young people will have the opportunity to develop their STEM and AI skills and put them to the test to advance sustainability in their own school community. "With digital technology transforming our lives, work, and education, it is crucial that every young person can engage in STEM and AI learning and think critically about the world around them. Through Microsoft Dream Space and its many initiatives, we are helping the next generation to develop the skills that are required amid the twin - digital and green - transitions." Dr Helena McMahon, Director of Ireland's Knowledge Centre for Carbon Climate and Community Action (IKC3) at Munster Technological University, said: "MTU is delighted to partner with Microsoft on the development and roll-out of Code Green. The IKC3 and Microsoft Dream Space team collaboration has brought together the brightest of minds in programme design, sustainability, and STEM education. This new educational resource for teachers and students nationwide aligns with the EU Green Deal 2050 themes and supports our joint commitment to promote both STEM and sustainability education that build green and digital skills. We encourage every primary school throughout Munster and across the island of Ireland to join us in this exciting learning journey towards a more sustainable future." Speaking about the initiative, Suzanne Kelly, Group Head of Children's & Young People's Content at RTÉ, said: "RTÉ are thrilled to be once again teaming up with Microsoft Dream Space, this time to explore how technology can be a force for good in tackling climate change.

An exclusive story in Sunday's Racing Post headlines this week's The Front Page.  Maddy Playle discusses how British racing is considering a radical new plan to monetize its top Flat events.

Big performances from the likes of Los Angeles, Ambiente Friendly, You Got To Me and Forest Fairy come under the microscope.  West Country correspondent James Stevens reflects on an eventful week on track and highlights the importance of Mental Health Awareness week for racing and its participants.

Presented by the 2024 Weatherbys Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide, Emmet Kennedy, Katie Young, and George Gorman react to our biggest ante-post bet for Cheltenham, Fact To File, who we tipped at 14/1 and 10/1, becoming the 6/4 favourite for the Turners Novice Chase after toppling Gaelic Warrior in the Grade 1 match at Leopardstown. But what did he actually achieve in victory, and is he really the one to beat? What now for Gaelic Warrior? The Arkle betting looks as volatile as a cryptocurrency market after the odds-on favorite, Marine Nationale, flopped behind Il Etait Temps. Can Barry Connell's horse bounce back at Cheltenham? Plus we review the novice hurdlers at the DRF where Ballyburn emerged as the outright favourite for the Supreme and Baring Bingham Novice Hurdles at Cheltenham, but the question is, which race will he run in? The team has strong but differing opinions. Dancing City will head for the Albert Bartlett after strengthening Willie Mullins' hand with a Grade 1 victory at the Dublin Racing Festival. We discuss his chances at the Festival and those of stablemate Predators Gold and Jessica Harrington's Jetara. Plus, Kargese is now the second favourite for the Triumph Hurdle, but can she challenge Nicky Henderson's Sir Gino, and is it possible that one of her stablemates could reverse the form with her at Cheltenham?
