Show Notes
It’s one of the biggest days of the National Hunt calendar - Boxing Day / St Stephen’s Day — and The Final Furlong Podcast is your complete betting guide to Kempton, Leopardstown and Limerick.
Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, Jamie Wrenn and Peter Michael for a fast-paced, opinion-packed preview featuring strong fancies, big prices, lively debate and the usual Christmas craic.
🟥 2:30 Kempton – King George VI Chase (Grade 1)
The feature race delivers a blockbuster clash:
Gaelic Warrior | Fact To File | Jango Baie | The Jukebox Man | Banbridge | Djelo | Il Est Français
The panel are split right down the middle:
Two are strongly confident about one horse
Two are firmly with another
A proper King George debate, with angles you won’t hear everywhere else.
🟦 1:05 Kempton – Formby Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1)
Supreme Novices’ favourite Mydaddypaddy is short in the market. Do the lads trust him… or take him on?
🟧 1:10 Leopardstown – Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2)
Always one of the most informative juvenile races of the season.
The panel split between Narciso Has and Barbizon, while Puppet Master — a Lingfield Derby Trial winner — is a fascinating recruit to hurdles.
🟩 1:20 Kempton – Kauto Star Novices’ Chase (Grade 1)
Kitzbuhel heads the market for Willie Mullins, but:
Three of the panel agree a bigger-priced runner should be favourite
Peter Michael puts up a 10/1 shot as one of his bets of the day
🟨 1:33 Limerick – Defender Novice Hurdle (Grade 2)
The team put forward 13/2 and 11/2 selections in a tricky Grade 2.
🟪 1:55 Kempton – Christmas Hurdle (Grade 1)
Is Sir Gino a good thing? Or can Golden Ace land yet another major two-mile Grade 1?
🟦 2:20 Leopardstown – Racing Post Novice Chase (Grade 1)
Romeo Coolio is odds-on for Gordon Elliott — but two of the panel back a rival to outshine him on the day.
With Grade 1 clashes, confident opinions, big-price alternatives and festive atmosphere, this is essential listening before placing a Boxing Day bet.
