This week we were joined by one of the nicest guys in football in former Lossiemouth captain Kev Stuart. From early days in Elgin youth through to captaining a Highland League team, we had a fantastic look back on Kevs career. The defender shared stories about winning silverware early in his career which gave him a push on to go and play at a higher level. With a goal as a young man to just simply play in the Highland League Kev done himself justice by going on to play in the league for many years. A current committee member at Lossiemouth united we also chatted about his coaching career after playing and delved in to yet another fantastic best XI.

This week on The Football Journals, Lee sits down with a man who is Lossiemouth born and bred: the one and only Kevin Flett.Kev's story is a rare journey through every level of his hometown's footballing identity. From cutting his teeth in the North Juniors with Lossiemouth United to his iconic years as the captain of Lossiemouth FC at Grant Park, Kev has lived and breathed the red and white.We also touch on his time spent at Turriff United before bringing the story back home to his current vital role: shaping the next generation through Lossie Youth Development.In this episode, we discuss:• The Lossie DNA: Growing up in the town and what it truly means to represent your own community on a Saturday afternoon.• The United Foundation: Why his early days with Lossiemouth United were essential for his development as a player.• Captain of the Coasters: The pride and the pressure of wearing the armband at Grant Park and leading his hometown club through the Highland League.• The Turriff Chapter: A look at his time away at The Haughs and the experience of playing for a different North East side.• Building the Future: His transition into coaching with Lossie Youth Development. Why he's dedicated to ensuring local kids have the same opportunities he had (and more).From a local lad in the stands to the veteran captain and now the coach of the future—this is the ultimate Kev Flett interview.

The Christmas racing is done. Now it's time to work out what actually matters. On this week's Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Jamie Wrenn review the key races, performances, and Cheltenham implications from a fascinating festive period packed with Grade 1s, shocks, and strong opinions.

Welcome to the first of our Christmas Betting Guide Specials on The Final Furlong Podcast. Emmet Kennedy is joined by former Grade 1-winning jockeys Lizzie Kelly and Daryl Jacob, alongside racing analyst Jamie Wrenn, for a deep, opinionated, price-led preview of the biggest races of the festive period. Grade 1 clashes, major handicaps, bold views, and four Christmas NAPs — this is essential listening if you're betting over Christmas.

A Final Furlong Podcast Special with 1xBet Ireland, recorded live at the Curragh Racecourse: One of racing's sharpest analysts, Gavin Lynch, returns to join Emmet Kennedy for a full deep-dive into everything we've learned so far from the new National Hunt season.

It was a weekend packed with blockbuster jumps racing action at Punchestown, Ascot and Haydock, and Emmet Kennedy is joined by Grade 1–winning jockeys Lizzie Kelly and Daryl Jacob to break down every major talking point — the spectacular, the eyebrow-raising, and the genuinely confusing. We begin at Punchestown with the epic duel between Gaelic Warrior and Fact To File in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase, where Paul Townend delivered Willie Mullins his ninth win in 12 runnings of the race. We look at how the race was run, the moves that made the difference, what to make of Fastorslow, and how the returning Gold Cup hero Inothewayurthinkin shaped up.Most importantly: Where do Mullins' stars go next? At Ascot, Arkle winner Jango Baie powered home in the 1965 Chase — but is he now a serious King Georgecontender? Speaking of Kempton: The Jukebox Man remains unbeaten over fences after a fluent prep run in the same race Bravemansgame used before winning the King George. Who does the panel want to be with for Boxing Day/St Stephen's Day? Over at Haydock, Grey Dawning continued the red-hot start to the season for Dan Skelton with a bloodless win in the Betfair Chase. The question now: is he a genuine Gold Cup player? The Morgiana Hurdle saw Lossiemouth coast home, but did we actually learn anything? The panel debate her Champion Hurdle prospects, while Wodhooh, the mare she beat in the Aintree Hurdle, made a stylish return in a Grade 2 at Ascot. We assess her ceiling for the season. Plus:• Lizzie Kelly reveals the tracks she absolutely hated riding — with one described as “absolutely awful”• Daryl Jacob defends one of those tracks as one of his favourites (!) And of course: Horses To Follow from the weekend, selected with proper insight and real-world experience.

Ahead of this weekend's action, Charlotte Greenway recaps on the interviews from the last five days with connections with runners this weekend. Starting at Haydock, ahead of the Betfair Chase we hear from Dan Skelton on Grey Dawning and Joe Chambers on Royale Pagaille, going for his third win in the race. Joe also has news of Lossiemouth and Gaelic Warrior ahead of their assignments on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday's John Durkan could be the race of the season, in terms of quality horses in one field, and Gavin Cromwell provides an update on Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin while Martin Brassil looks forward to Fastorslow returning after a year off the track. There's also Ascot this weekend and Harry Fry runs through his three runners and Sam Twiston Davies looks at his biggest chances in the saddle.

It's a blockbuster weekend of jumps racing across Ascot, Haydock, and Punchestown, and Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, George Gorman, and Jamie Wrenn for a fast-paced, opinion-packed preview loaded with value bets, data-backed angles, and plenty of laughs. We kick off at Ascot with the 1965 Chase, where Il Est Français makes his British debut for Tom George. Can Pic D'Orhy land this race for the third year running? And how serious is the challenge from Arkle hero Jango Baie and the powerful Gidleigh Park? At Haydock, the Grade 1 Betfair Chase sparks a major split in the panel:Two are firmly against favourite Grey Dawning, while the other two are all-in on the Skelton star. Expect strong reasoning, sectional insights and a few angles you won't hear anywhere else. In the 1:15 Handicap Hurdle, the lads highlight 4/1, 5/1 and 11/2 players worth your attention, while in the 1:50 Graduation Chase, we debate whether The Jukebox Man is worth opposing on his comeback. Over at Punchestown, the Morgiana Hurdle brings Lossiemouth back to centre stage—does her appearance confirm a Champion Hurdle campaign? At Haydock's Stayers' Handicap Hurdle, the panel put forward 13/2, 11/1 and 22/1 selections, before returning to Ascot for the Ascot Hurdle, where Wodhooh is a warm favourite—good thing or trap? Then it's the big one: the Grade 1 John Durkan Memorial Chase, one of the deepest renewals in years.Fact To File, Fastorslow, Gaelic Warrior, Inothewayurthinkin, Heart Wood, Lecky Watson—stacked quality everywhere.And one of the team is strongly opposing the favourite with his best bet of the weekend. With bold opinions, measured analysis, longshot plays, and proper Festival-significance across three racecourses, this is the perfect setup for your weekend punting.

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.
