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.

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.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 2ú lá de mí Mheán Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1977 tháinig na Gardaí agus ball de na fórsaí armtha le chéile chun cuardach do dhrong. I 1982 tháinig an rialtas amach ag rá go mbeadh gearradh siar sa sheirbhísí slándála agus de bharr sin chaill 4,000 duine a bpost. I 1996 bhí daoine ag iarradh an díon a dheisiú ag an Rock of Cashel. Dúradh go mbeadh sé go maith caomhnú a dhéanamh ar rudaí cosúil leis sin. Tá an Rock of Cashel ársa séadchomhartha agus shuíomh maith ceiliúradh a dhéanamh chun dul isteach chuig aois nua. I 2002 ghabh na Gardaí san Aonach Urmhumhan a lán drugaí nuair a stop siad cúpla bus ag dul chuig Creamfields Dance Festival. Bhí timpeall 10 Gardaí ag seicphointe taobh amuigh de Toomevara agus chuardaigh siad gach duine a bhí ann. Dúirt Garda ó Aonach Urmhumhan go bhfuair siad níos mó ná 250 táibléad eacstais agus I bhfad níos mó. Sin Survivor le Eye Of The Tiger – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1982. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2007 shroich Sean Kingston a raibh aois 17 ag an am uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain agus I Meiriceá lena hamhrán Beautiful Girls. I 2013 bhuaigh Elton John an chéad ghradam do Brits Icon ag an chéad cheolchoirm ar ais agus é tar éis obráid a fháil. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Mark Harmon I Meiriceá I 1951 agus rugadh aisteoir Keanu Reeves sa Liobáin ar an lá seo I 1964 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 2nd of September, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1977: Armed detectives support gardai in gang search. 1982: cuts in the country's health service ordered by the governemnt will result in the loss of up to 4,000 jobs. 1996 - There were calls for the roof to be restored on the Rock of Cashel. Historic events such as the beginning of a new century should be marked by a major contribution to preserve our rich cultural heritage. The Rock of Cashel, the ancient seat of the Kings of Munster and best known of all our ancient monuments, must surely be the ideal site on which to mark the beginning of the 21st century.  2002- NENAGH gardai seized a large quantity of drugs following a swoop on a number of buses ferrying music fans to the Creamfields Dance Festival at Punchestown. Upward of ten gardai stopped the convoy of buses outside the village of Toomevara and searched all passengers under the Misuse of Drugs Act. A spokesperson for Nenagh Gardai said over 250 ecstasy tablets were recovered along with a large quantity of cannabis.  That was Survivor with Eye Of The Tiger – the biggest song on this day in 1982 Onto music news on this day In 2007 17 year-old Jamaican-American singer Sean Kingston went to No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Beautiful Girls', also a US No.1. 2013 Sir Elton John won the first ever Brits Icon award, in a gala concert which marked his stage return after surgery for appendicitis And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Mark Harmon was born in America in 1951 and actor Keanu Reeves was born Lebanon on this day in 1964 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

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.

Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop ahead of a superb weekend of global racing. Ahead of the Guineas, they are joined by Ralph Beckett, who sounds suitably excited about his once raced filly Chantilly Lace. Nicky Henderson drops in for a final line about Constitution Hill ahead of his run at Punchestown, while we preview the Kentucky Derby in some depth over a cocktail with NBC's Matt Bernier and TPD's Adam Mills. Jon Knapman is back with all the latest WorldPool details for the opening European fixture of 2025, while Paul Commins from Albany Stud reflects on an excellent result to top the Guineas Breeze Up sale.

Sarah Costello, whose father and uncle received life-saving kidney transplants, will ride in a charity race at the Punchestown Races tomorrow and James Nolan, also a kidney transplant recipient, who is organiser of the charity event that will surpass €2million in funds raised this weekend.

Racing in Ireland on Saturday is in Punchestown (3rd May 2025). Cross-channel, there are meetings in Newmarket, Goodwood, Thirsk, Uttoexeter, Hexham and Doncaster. With his 'Saturday Six,' here's Galway Bay FM's George McDonagh.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 2ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1975 d'éalaigh príosúnaigh as a phríosún ach ní raibh aon ádh acu ag Punchestown. I 1997 tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh méadú de 1% sna rátaí morgáiste de bharr go raibh méadú sna rátaí sna bainc. I 1975 tháinig Ambasadóir ón Astráil chuig an chontae I gcóir deireadh seachtain agus bhí siad sa tír ar feadh seachtain. I 1986 bhí níos mó daoine ag an Boirinn fiadhúlra siompóisiam an bhliain seo I gcomparáid leis an bhliain roimhe. Sin George Michael le A Different Corner – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1981 chuaigh Sheena Easton chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena amhrán Morning Train (9 to 5). Bhí sí ann ar feadh dhá sheachtain agus d'athraigh sí an teideal den amhrán de bharr gur tháinig Dolly Parton amach leis a amhrán 9 to 5 sa bhliain chéanna. I 2006 tháinig Keith Richards ó The Rolling Stones amach as a ospidéal sa Nua-Shéalainn de bharr go bhfuair sé comhtholgadh beag nuair a thit sé amach as crann nuair a bhí sé I Fiji. Chuaigh sé chuig an ospidéal I héileacaptar agus fuair sé scanadh ar a inchinn. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Dwayne Johnson I Meiriceá I 1972 agus rugadh amhránaí Lily Allen sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1985 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 2nd of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1975: an escaped prisoners luck ran out at punchestown races yesterday. 1997: an increase of one percent in bank and mortgage rates was threatened last night after a shock rise in central bank rates. 1975: The australian ambassador, vincent c gair and mrs gair toured co.clare over the weekend in the course of a week long visit to west and south of ireland. 1986: The third burren wildlife symposium attracted more interest than in other previous years. That was George Michael with A Different Corner – the biggest song on this day in 1986. Onto music news on this day In 1981 Scottish singer Sheena Easton started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Morning Train (9 to 5)'. The title of the song was changed to avoid any confusion with the Dolly Parton hit '9 to 5', in the same year. 2006 Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was released from hospital in New Zealand after the 62 year-old suffered "mild concussion" when he fell out of a coconut tree while on holiday in Fiji. He was airlifted to Auckland's Ascot Hospital for observation, where he underwent a brain scan. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was born in America in 1972 and singer Lily Allen was born in the UK on this day in 1983 and this is one of her songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
