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.

The National Hunt season ends in style — and we're all over it. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and George Gorman to preview a blockbuster final day at Sandown, where Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton go head-to-head for the British Trainers' Championship in a finale packed with drama, storylines… and betting angles. We've got a 10/1 NAP in the opener, a select hurdle standout at 13/2, and a 6/1 play in the Celebration Chase that Adam and Emmet are bullish on — but it's a 20/1 shot that George and Adam love (and Emmet just can't believe they fancy). And in the big one — the Bet365 Gold Cup — all three lock horns for a proper tricast shootout, including bold each-way darts at 20/1 and 33/1. Expect sharp takes, passionate debate, and big-priced plays to end the jumps season with a bang.

Betfair ambassador Rachael Blackmore and racing legend Ruby Walsh sat down with Vanessa Ryle to talk through the upcoming 2023/2024 National Hunt season on a special episode of Racing... Only Bettor. Expect star rides for the season, ones to watch from Willie Mullins' yard, Constitution Hill, Jonbon plus an insight into what it is like to have a championship mentality and the pressures of being an elite jockey.

Lucinda Russell is a Scottish racehorse trainer. Her stables in Kinross have sent out almost 900 winners, including two Grand National champions. She is one of only two Scottish trainers and four women to have celebrated a Grand National win since the event began in 1839, and her yard is the most successful in the history of Scottish jump racing. Lucinda was born in Edinburgh in 1966. Although she didn't come from a racing background – her father ran the family's whisky business – she was obsessed with horses from a very young age. After many years of pleading, she finally got her first pony at the age of 10. A few years later the family moved from Edinburgh to Arlay Farm near Milnathort in Kinross-shire, where she still trains her horses today. After studying psychology at the University of St Andrews, Lucinda began riding competitively, which she funded by buying and training horses before selling them on. She took out her professional trainer's licence in 1995 and built up her stables on the family farm. Lucinda's first success at the Grand National was in 2017 with One for Arthur, ridden by Derek Fox. She had helped buy the horse for the owners, two self-described ‘golf widows'. She was awarded an OBE for services to horseracing in the Queen's Birthday Honours the following year. Then in 2023 she won again with Corach Rambler. Lucinda runs her stables with her partner the former National Hunt jockey Peter Scudamore. DISC ONE: Some Nights - Fun.

With the new National Hunt season on the horizon, Emmet Kennedy is joined by top jockey James Bowen and racing pundit James Woods to preview the leading two-mile, intermediate, and staying chasers through the prism of the Cheltenham Festival ante post markets. After Galopin Des Champs' defeat at Punchestown, we ask if Willie Mullins' star is still the one to beat in the Gold Cup and if not, who is likely to be his significant threat. Bravemansgame will bid for back-to-back King George wins, but Shishkin is eyeing his crown as the old enemies Nicholls and Henderson look set for an epic clash. Should Jonbon try two miles again this season, or does his future lie over a greater distance, with his ultimate aim being the Ryanair or even the Gold Cup?
