The Final Furlong Podcast

On this week’s Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills and Jamie Wrenn strip away the hype and analyse what Trials Day actually told us about the Cheltenham Festival. Not who won. But who improved their Festival chance — and who didn’t. 🟥 Champion Hurdle Division — Chaos Incoming The New Lion lands the Grade 2 International… but receiving weight from an inferior rival raises questions. Did he really advance his Champion Hurdle claims? With Sir Gino injured, the division suddenly looks wide open — and we reassess the entire market. 🟩 Stayers’ Hurdle — Gamble Landed, But Festival Horse? Ma Shantou bolts up in the Cleeve after a strong gamble. Emma Lavelle’s next Stayers winner? The panel are split: • One says Festival player • One says place chance • One says not even making the frame Plus: What now for Impose Toi after defeat? 🟦 Gold Cup Picture — Genuine Contenders or False Signals? Spillane’s Tower bounces back in the Cotswold Chase. But is he really a Gold Cup horse? We also break down: • L’Homme Presse • Grey Dawning • What the race historically means (and what it doesn’t) 🟨 Juveniles & Handicaps — Festival Plotters Emerging Maestro Conti wins the Triumph Trial Jagwar flatters again Favori De Champdou thrives in the Cross Country And we highlight: • Festival handicappers hiding in plain sight • A Fred Winter type to note • Jamie & Adam’s horses to follow If you’re betting Cheltenham seriously, this is essential prep.

The Cheltenham picture shifted dramatically this weekend, and The Final Furlong Podcast is here to break it all down. Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jaime Wrenn review the key talking points from a crucial weekend of racing, with Cheltenham Festival implications everywhere you look. 🟥 OLD PARK STAR — SUPREME FAVOURITE EMERGES We start at Haydock, where Old Park Star delivered an explosive performance to become Supreme Novice Hurdle favourite with 1xBet. The parallels are striking: Same race, Same trainer, & Same path as Jonbon, before his Festival duel with Constitution Hill Is 9/4 actually too big for the opening race of Cheltenham 2026? Or has the market already overreacted? 🟦 JONBON RETURNS — AND IL ETAIT TEMPS FALLS At Ascot, Jonbon roared back to form with his 11th Grade 1 and back-to-back wins in the Clarence House Chase. We ask: Where does JP’s gelding go next? Is his Champion Chase challenge back on track? And what now for Il Etait Temps, once favourite for the Queen Mother, now 8/1 after a heavy fall? 🟩 PROTEKTORAT, WINDSOR & RACING LOGIC We pay tribute to Protektorat, now a millionaire after back-to-back Fleur de Lys Chase wins — a modern jumps stalwart. But we also question: The logic of running jumps racing at Windsor. What it says about fixture planning and priorities 🟨 FESTIVAL PROSPECTS — WHO’S COMING, WHO’S NOT Eachtotheirown: handicap debut winner — can he mix it in Grade 1 company? Mighty Park: sensational hurdles debut — Grade 1 this season? Espresso Milan: Potato Race contender or hard pass? Strong opinions. No fence-sitting. 🟪 NOVICE CHASERS & HORSES TO FOLLOW Salver wins another graded novice — but the real takeaway might be behind him. We explain why: Wade Out, Jeriko Du Reponet, & Moon Rocket are horses you want firmly on side for the Spring Festivals. Plus, Adam and Jaime each give their horses to follow from the weekend. 🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland.

It’s Novice Hurdlers Week on The Final Furlong Podcast as Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jamie Wrenn take a forensic look at the horses lining up for the three other major Cheltenham Festival novice hurdles: • Turners Novices’ Hurdle• Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle• Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle And we start with the big question… is No Drama This End the right favourite at 7/2, or is the Paul Nicholls buzz horse there to be taken on? The boys debate whether the market has this one right - or whether one of the improvers can mow him down come March. 🟩 RUNNERS DISCUSSED - CONTENDERS, RISERS & SLEEPERS Turners & Bartlett potentials: Skylight Hustle, Ill Sort That, Sober, Sortudo, Doctor Du Mesnil, Idaho Sun, Lazare De Star, Act Of Innocence, The Reverend, Doctor Steinberg, You Proof Mares’ Novice challengers: Bambino Fever, Oldschool Outlaw, La Conquiere, Larinka, Place De La Nation Form lines, ground angles, staying power, trainer intent -every profile gets tested. 🟦 BIG QUESTIONS ANSWERED • Should you take 7/2 about No Drama This End — or lay him all day?• Which novices are improving faster than the market admits?• Who’s likely to shorten between now and Trials Day?• Which festival-only horses the team are most excited about? One panellist has a “bet before they run again” pick…and another flags a horse who could be half his current price come March.

A seismic move shakes up National Hunt racing - and we’re here to unpack every angle. On this week’s Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jamie Wrenn react to the news that Harry Cobden will become JP McManus’ retained rider in the UK and Ireland from May. This is a power shift with huge implications - and the shockwaves stretch from Champion Hurdle favourites to handicap plotters. 🟩 HARRY COBDEN + JP McMANUS - THE FALLOUT We break down what Cobden’s move means for: JP McManus’ powerhouse squad Harry Skelton - does he keep the ride on The New Lion Paul Nicholls - suddenly without his long-term No. 1 Mark Walsh - what does this mean for the Gold Cup winning jockey? Future ride allocations across the spring and Festivals This is a reshuffle with winners and losers - and we name them. 🟥 SUPREME NOVICE HURDLE - THE MOST OPEN IN YEARS Then we pivot to one of the most interesting betting puzzles of the season - the 2026 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. Two last-time-out fallers sit in the top three in the market -and the division might not be anywhere near settled. The team dissect the leading players:El Cairos • Old Park Star • Talk The Talk • Mydaddypaddy • Mossy Fen Road • Idaho Sun • Skylight Hustle • Hurricane Pat • Baron Noir • Ballyfad 🟦 WHO IS WILLIE MULLINS’ SUPREME HORSE? We debate the potential No. 1 from the Closutton battalion:The Reverend • Davy Crockett • King Rasko Grey • Sortudo • Fou De Toi (the plunge horse) A bold claim is made on which one will line up - and which won’t. 🟨 LONGSHOTS + MARKET MISTAKES Adam nominates a 50/1 shot he believes ran huge last time Jamie says the layers have a 33/1 horse completely wrong Do you agree - or are they reading too much into weak form? 🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland More than 7,000 daily events, fast withdrawals & new customer specials 👉 https://cutt.ly/0r7bzDoH 18+.

Novice chasers stole the show over Christmas - and now we need to separate hype from hard truth. On this week’s Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jamie Wrenn break down the headline performances from Kempton, Leopardstown, Punchestown, and Limerick — and what they could mean for Cheltenham Festival 2026. Data-led, opinionated, and packed with value angles, this is the ultimate festive novice chase review. 🟥 COULD THE BROWN ADVISORY BE AN ALL-TIME RACE? The panel debate whether we’re heading into a stacked Brown Advisory, featuring: Final Demand — Grade 1 winner, imperious at Limerick Kitzbuhel — Kauto Star winner gaining momentum Koktail Divin — impressive winner of a race with a strong role of honour The Big Westerner — serious engine, slick jumper Romeo Coolio — unbeaten, but does he need further? And the big question:Will Gordon Elliott step Romeo Coolio up in trip at Cheltenham? 🟦 IS THERE A BANKER FOR THE MARES CHASE? One member of the team thinks there is. 🟩 THE ARKLE DEBATE: VALUE VS SPEED There’s a hot row over a 10/1 Arkle contender: One panellist thinks the market is wrong Another says she’ll get found out at Grade 1 level. Who’s right? 🟨 THE 50/1 OUTSIDER Adam Mills drops a 50/1 Festival bomb he believes is massively overpriced. Everyone else calls him crazy.

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. 🟥 KING GEORGE VI CHASE (GRADE 1) — A NEW FORCE? The Jukebox Man struck the right note at Kempton, landing the King George for Ben Pauling. The panel ask: What does this mean for his season from here? How strong was the form with Gaelic Warrior, Banbridge, and Jango Baie close behind? Has the chasing hierarchy shifted? 🟦 SAVILLS CHASE (GRADE 1) — TWO STORIES, ONE RACE Affordale Fury won on just his seventh chase start, but the bigger talking points lie elsewhere. We assess: The contrasting runs of Galopin Des Champs and Inothewayurthinkin Whether either performance truly dents Gold Cup confidence Two horses to follow for the Grand National 🟩 WELSH GRAND NATIONAL — A GOLD CUP PLAYER? A remarkable weight-carrying performance from Haiti Couleurs for Rebecca Curtis. The question: Is he now a serious Gold Cup contender under Sean Bowen, or was this a perfect-storm handicap win? 🟨 HEART WOOD — FOUND HIS LEVEL? Heart Wood landed the O’Driscoll’s Irish Whiskey New Year’s Day Chase (G3). One of the team makes a big-price case for him in a specific Cheltenham race — others push back hard. 🟥 CHRISTMAS HURDLE (GRADE 1) — IS THE CHAMPION HURDLE UP FOR GRABS? Sir Gino, returning from a life-threatening infection, comfortably beat the race-fit Golden Ace, the reigning Champion Hurdle winner. We debate: Was this a changing-of-the-guard moment? Or have we underestimated the depth of the division? 🟦 DECEMBER HURDLE (GRADE 1) — LOSS IEMOUTH’S PATH DECIDED? After Lossiemouth’s Leopardstown win, all four panellists agree she is unlikely to run in the Champion Hurdle — and explain exactly why. Do you agree? 🟩 MARES’ DIVISION — A NEW QUEEN? Could Wodhooh now be the one to beat in the Mares’ Hurdle after her Kerrymount success? 🟨 CHRISTMAS HURDLE (IRELAND) — STAYING HIERARCHY SETTLED? Teahupoo confirmed his superiority over Ballyburn, but three of the panel believe his biggest Cheltenham danger is trained in Britain. We make a strong case for Impose Toi. 🟥 CHAMPION CHASE PICTURE — MORE OPEN THAN IT LOOKS? We finish with the two-mile chase division: Solness impresses in the Rewards Club Chase Marine Nationale runs a blinder despite early drama Thistle Ask makes a big handicap statement in the Desert Orchid Where does the Champion Chase really stand now? 🔵 PRESENTED BY 1xBet.ie More than 7,000 events per day, fast withdrawals, and new customer specials. 👉 https://cutt.ly/0r7bzDoH 18+.

In a Final Furlong Podcast Special, Emmet Kennedy is joined by multiple Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer Barry Connell for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation — presented without commercial interruption by 1xBet Ireland. This is a rare, candid insight into Cheltenham planning, elite horses, and the realities of modern jump racing. 🟥 WILLIAM MUNNY: CHAMPION HURDLE COMEBACK PLAN Barry opens by explaining why he is so excited about William Munny as a Champion Hurdle contender — and why his enforced absence through injury has been such a source of frustration. He reveals: The exact race being targeted for William Munny’s comeback Why this prep is designed specifically for a Champion Hurdle tilt What makes Munny different from other hurdlers in the division 🟦 MARINE NATIONALE: CHRISTMAS COMEBACK Attention then turns to stable star Marine Nationale, the reigning Queen Mother Champion Chase winner, ahead of his seasonal return at Leopardstown over Christmas. Barry discusses: How ready the triple Grade 1 winner is right now What to expect from his Leopardstown run How the season is being shaped around another major Festival campaign 🟨 THE JONBON DEBATE Barry doesn’t hold back on Nicky Henderson’s Jonbon, explaining why he believes: “He is not a proper Grade 1 performer.” He also challenges what he sees as the British racing media’s obsession with Jonbon — and why that focus has, in his view, led to the horse being significantly overrated. 🟥 NEW RECRUITS & HANDICAP PLANS Barry then lifts the lid on future Festival runners, revealing plans for: Ksar Fatal – an exciting new addition to the yard Hgranca De Thaix EachtoTheirown My Immortal One is being aimed at the Coral Cup, one at the County Hurdle, and another towards a handicap chase — with Barry explaining the thinking behind each route. 🟩 SYSTEMS, STRATEGY & WHAT’S BROKEN The conversation broadens into the wider sport: Why Barry believes HRI’s Academy Hurdles are a nonsense How British trainers are gaining ground through smarter buying strategies Why changes in sourcing and profiling horses could be game-changing for jump racing This is an episode packed with insight, controversy, and genuine Festival intelligence — and one you don’t want to miss if you’re serious about Cheltenham. 🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland.

This week on The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy and Lizzie Kelly are joined by one of the defining figures of modern jump racing. A four-time Champion Jockey, Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, the second most successful rider in National Hunt history, and now a successful syndicate owner - Richard Johnson. 🟥 CHELTENHAM, KIKIJO & THE EMOTIONAL SHIFT Richard explains why watching Kikijo win at Cheltenham was more nerve-wracking than riding a Gold Cup. Lizzie Kelly explores what’s harder: controlling a horse at 30mph or standing powerless on the sidelines. We discuss the symbolism of winning at Cheltenham in family colours, and why the link with Philip Hobbs and Johnson White matters so deeply. 🟦 FROM JOCKEY TO OWNER: THE SYNDICATE REALITY Richard opens up about the biggest surprises since moving into ownership: • Why syndicates may be the future of racing • Why ex-jockeys often thrive running them • The hardest conversations owners never see • The mistakes new owners make — and how he protects them from it This is essential listening for anyone considering getting involved in ownership. 🟩 CAMPAIGNING THE HORSES: THE JOCKEY INSTINCT NEVER LEAVES Should you protect a handicap mark — or run when the horse is right? Richard explains his thinking with Kikijo, updates us on Party Vibes, and shares which horses he’s most excited about next. He also explains how listeners can get involved in the Richard Johnson Racing syndicate. 🎄 CHRISTMAS RACING & THE BIG QUESTIONS • What would Richard do with Constitution Hill now? • How does he see the Champion Hurdle division shaping up? • Could a handicapper still emerge to win it — Rooster Booster style? • Is Golden Ace the one to beat over Christmas? • Who would Richard most want to ride in the King George VI Chase? 🟥 KEMPTON, THE JOCKEY CLUB & RACING’S FUTURE We close with one of the most important conversations you’ll hear all season. Kempton’s future has never looked more uncertain: • A Redrow development option running to 2028 • A new Planning & Infrastructure Bill favouring large developments • The Jockey Club investing heavily elsewhere while cutting costs • The real possibility that racing’s most accessible winter track could be lost From a jockey’s perspective, Richard explains: • What Kempton gives the sport that no other track does • Why it matters culturally and commercially • Whether racing will regret losing it — or justify it later as “necessary” 🐎 PLUS: TWO HORSES TO FOLLOW Richard names two horses from the Richard Johnson Racing Syndicate to keep firmly onside over the next month. 🔵 Presented by 1xBet.ie More than 7,000 events per day, fast withdrawals, and new customer specials. 👉 https://cutt.ly/0r7bzDoH 18+.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Lizzie Kelly and Jamie Wrenn for one of the most forensic, data-rich, insight-heavy National Hunt deep dives we’ve ever done. If you follow the Champion Chase, Arkle, Ryanair, Baring Bingham, or Brown Advisory markets — this episode is essential listening. 🟥 TINGLE CREEK CHASE — Il Etait Temps Takes Over? Jamie breaks down the times, sectionals, stride patterns and finishing effort to ask:Has Il Etait Temps just become the horse to beat in the Champion Chase? We evaluate: • Why the race was five seconds slower than the Henry VIII • Whether raw time matters when a horse is travelling like a “passenger jet” • Jonbon: beaten nine lengths — now a 2m4f horse? • L’Eau Du Sud: three Grade 1 failures… ceiling reached? • Cheltenham concern: Il Etait Temps’ festival record (553) • Are 3/1 and 11/4 Champion Chase quotes value or insanity? Lizzie provides the jockey’s perspective: Townend’s decisive move, footwork at the railway fences, Jonbon’s body language, and why small horses can jump like machines. Panel debates: Is Il Etait Temps now ahead of Marine Nationale and Majborough? Is Jonbon done at 2 miles? Is the Champion Chase wide open — or just weak? 🟦 HILLY WAY CHASE — Majborough’s Issues Return • Was Found A Fifty’s jumping the decisive factor? • Did Majborough’s left lean cost him more than fitness did? • Why Energumene’s return tells us more than the result • Is Found A Fifty wildly underrated at 14/1–25/1? Lizzie assesses Majborough’s jumping psychology, the challenge of a raw engine, and the mental impact of a hard fall. Panel debates: Majborough: Champion Chase or Ryanair? Is Found A Fifty the most underrated chaser in Ireland? 🟫 PETERBOROUGH CHASE — DJELO Steps Forward Jamie analyses Djelo’s pressure-induced mistakes from rivals and whether 12/1 for the King George is a gift or a trap. Lizzie explains how a horse feels when they genuinely “stay and travel.” Panel debates: Is Djelo a Grade 1 horse — or a soft-ground bully? 🟩 HENRY VIII NOVICES’ CHASE — Lulamba’s Arkle Statement Lulamba clocked a time 5 seconds quicker than the Tingle Creek. Jamie asks: Does he deserve to be joint-fav for the Arkle? Lizzie breaks down the greenness, the ride, and the railway-fence learning curve. Panel debates: Would you rather ride Lulamba or Kopek Des Bordes? 🟧 KALA CONTI, SALVER, PREDATORS GOLD & MORE We assess the next wave of future stars: • Kala Conti — is she already a Mares’ Chase favourite? • Salver — Brown Advisory player or still too raw? • Predators Gold — Grade 1 novice after nearly two years off?

It’s one of the biggest Saturdays of the early jumps season and The Final Furlong team - Emmet Kennedy, Andy Newton, George Gorman and Peter Michael - deliver a fast-paced, opinion-packed betting preview for Sandown, Aintree, Huntingdon, and Cork. We start with the Tingle Creek Chase (3:00 Sandown) where Il Etait Temps is the odds-on favourite with 1xBet to give Willie Mullins another Grade 1 in a race he first won nine years ago. But L’Eau du Sud arrives race-fit after bolting up at Cheltenham. And Jonbon, already a dual winner of the Tingle Creek, bids to become only the second horse ever to win it three times. The panel have strong and divided views on who wins. 🟦 1:20 Sandown – Pertemps Handicap Hurdle Supremely West is unbeaten going right-handed and was smashed off the boards last time. But the winner that day — Kikijo — is up 7lbs with a valuable 3lb claim. Three of the panel agree: one horse stands out clearly. 🟧 1:50 Sandown – Henry VIII Novices’ Chase (Grade 1) Lulamba trades as short as 7/2 for the Arkle, so 4/6 with 1xBet for Saturday could be value. But is he the real deal? Or too short? Sharp views incoming. 🟩 AINTREE – Grand National Fences Day 2:05 Wirral Juvenile Hurdle (Listed) Full breakdown and key angles. 2:40 Becher Handicap Chase Andy Newton puts up a 6/1 selection he insists will go off favourite — Emmet agrees… But one member of the team thinks that horse will “fall out the back of the telly!” Proper debate. Proper entertainment. 3:15 Bet Builder Handicap Hurdle Strong opinions and price plays. 🟨 3:35 Sandown – London National Handicap Chase A big team fancy here with strong form and trends to support it. 🟥 Sunday & Beyond: Peterborough Chase + Hilly Way Chase (Cork) We look at: Majborough Found A Fifty Banbridge — and George puts up a 4/1 selection he thinks is rock-solid.

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. 🟩 TWO-MILE HURDLERS: State of the Division We open with the two-mile scene after another dramatic weekend: • Constitution Hill falls for the third time in four runs • The New Lion also hits the deck • Where does the Champion Hurdle picture stand now? Gavin gives his early-season verdicts on Lossiemouth, Sir Gino, Wodhooh, Anzadam, and the reigning champion Golden Ace. 🟦 STAYING HURDLERS: Ballyburn Too Short? Ballyburn is 2/1 for the Stayers — some say too short, but Gavin has a very different take. We also break down: • Teahupoo’s chances • Impose Toi’s credentials • Who’s the real #1 staying hurdler right now? 🟨 NOVICE HURDLERS: A 14/1 Shot to Follow Gavin shares a 14/1 Albert Bartlett pick (already backed from 20s after his preview) and names the novices with the biggest upside this season. 🟥 NOVICE CHASERS: Arkle, Brown Advisory & Trip Questions We turn to the novice chasers with hot takes on: • Kopek Des Bordes • Lulamba for the Arkle • July Flower – good enough? Emmet asks the big one:Will Romeo Coolio drop in trip… or is he a future Brown Advisory stayer to take on Final Demand? Plus insight on Jimmy Du Seuil, Kitzbuhel, The Big Westerner. 🟧 CHAMPION CHASE: Who Can Trouble Marine Nationale? Is there a real danger to Marine Nationale? Could Majborough take over if he fixes his jumping? We also assess Il Etait Temps and L’Eau du Sud. 🟫 RYANAIR & GOLD CUP: Season-Defining Debates • Is Fact To File a good thing for the Ryanair? • Could Jango Baie leap into Grade 1 open company? • Does Gavin still believe in Inothewayurthinkin for the Gold Cup? • Can Galopin Des Champs strike back? • How crucial is Paul Townend to Gaelic Warrior? • And can Grey Dawning spring a shock? 💰 Plus Gavin’s Lucky 15… which might send us to Dubai. 🟦 Presented by 1xBet Ireland – more than 7000 events per day, fast withdrawals, and new customer specials.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and Jamie Wrenn to review a fascinating weekends racing, beginning with déjà vu in the Fighting Fifth: for the third time in four starts, Constitution Hill fell again — and so did his major rival The New Lion. At 22/1, Golden Ace picked up her second Grade 1 in eight months.So the big question is this: is Constitution Hill finished… or is there a way back for Nicky Henderson’s superstar? We break down the race in forensic detail, ask whether The New Lion actually enhanced his Champion Hurdle claims despite falling, and debate what the future holds for Anzadam. Then:Three Hatton’s Graces. Six Grade 1s. Still only eight.Are racing fans guilty of underrating Teahupoo every single season? And what do the panel make of Ballyburn suddenly cut to 2/1 for the Stayers Hurdle? Is he really the right favourite… or was Impose Toi the more convincing long-distance prospect at Newbury? We then head to Fairyhouse: Romeo Coolio gave Gordon Elliott a tenth Drinmore, but one of the team thinks he’s Gordon’s next megastar – and the other two strongly disagree. Wendigo vs No Questions Asked produced a proper battle in the John Francome – but what does it mean for next steps? Jimmy Du Seuil, rated 155 over hurdles, jumped like a veteran on chase debut. But does that justify 10/1 for the Brown Advisory? Plus reaction to a huge few days on both sides of the world: Mange Tout (G3 Juvenile Hurdle) Koktail Brut (Royal Bond) Tutti Quanti (Gerry Feilden) Panic Attack (Gold Cup Handicap Chase at 16/1) And an extraordinary Japan Cup: Calandagan travels halfway around the world, beats the best of Japan, and bags a £2.3 million bonus. Adam explains why trainer Francis Graffard is a genius. Full races discussed:Fighting Fifth Hurdle (G1), Hatton’s Grace (G1), Long Distance Hurdle (G2), Drinmore (G1), John Francome (G2), Beginners Chase, Juvenile Hurdle (G3), Royal Bond (G2), Gerry Feilden, Gold Cup Handicap Chase, Japan Cup (G1).

The Tattersalls December Sales shape the global Thoroughbred market - and this year’s renewal is one of the most important in recent memory.In this Final Furlong Tattersalls Special, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Tattersalls Associate Director of Marketing, Jason Singh, for a deep, honest, data-driven look at the market: the polarisation, the firepower, the hidden gems and the broodmares who change everything. We begin with the state of the yearling market:• why 2025 was selective but strong,• how the top end stayed fierce,• and why the middle market was deeper than many expected.Jason explains how this will feed directly into this week’s breeding stock sales, and why Kentucky’s intensity has already shifted buyer behaviour in Newmarket. Then we turn to the Sceptre Sessions, highlighted by:• Porta Fortuna – Cartier Champion 3YO Filly and global blue-chip broodmare prospect,• Tamfana, Barnavara, Choisya, Survie, Tiffany – an elite group rarely assembled in a single catalogue.Jason details what it takes to build a collection of this depth, and how buyers now balance residual value with the upside of producing world-class runners. From there, we dive into value mares — the bargains that became stars:• Sunset Park (60,000 gns → G2 winner),• Sultanina, Sagely, Syndicate, Tidespring, Days of Summer, Zero Gravity, Icky Woo,and how the December Sale continues to produce broodmares capable of producing Royal Ascot winners, Group 1 stars, and international champions. We also tackle the high-end market:• Immortal Verse,• Quiet Reflection,• and the seven-figure mares who shape investor confidence and global trends. Jason breaks down:• what makes a mare a hidden gem,• how data, biomechanics and conformation analytics are shifting valuations,• why smaller breeders should never fear the big stage,• and which categories are currently underrated and ripe for upside. From million-guinea superstars to 9,000gns producers of Group winners — this episode reveals why Tattersalls remains the most influential marketplace in the Thoroughbred world. If you want to understand where the industry is now and where it’s going, this conversation is essential listening.

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.

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.

The lads analyse the performance to decide whether the hype is justified or overstated. Kopek Des Bordes and Lulamba also made perfect starts over fences for Willie Mullins. Daryl has backed one of them for the Arkle and Adam explains the key data that separates the potential stars from the pretenders. We revisit the Arkle Trial, where Put The Kettle On launched an unforgettable career for Henry de Bromhead. This year’s winner July Flower is now unbeaten in two chase starts, but does she have the speed, class and technique to follow that path? Sean Bowen delivered a superb ride on Wade Out and the National Hunt Chase talk has begun, but not everyone is convinced. The team explain what the market is missing. Paul Nicholls compared No Drama This End to Denman after his hurdles debut but Adam and Daryl break down the form and numbers to test that claim from every angle. Mydaddypaddy made an impressive hurdles debut for Dan Skelton but does that make him a legitimate Supreme contender? The panel have questions. L’Eau du Sud cruised home in the Shloer Chase. Is he now a threat to the leading two-mile chasers and where does that leave Jonbon? COMPETITION We have partnered with Punchestown Racecourse ahead of Premiere Weekend featuring a Grade 1 double header: the Morgiana Hurdle on Saturday and the John Durkan Memorial Chase on Sunday. Last year’s Durkan was race of the season and this renewal could be even stronger with Fact To File seeking back to back wins. We are giving away the final two pairs of weekend tickets.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by French racing expert Adam Mills to reveal the most exciting group of National Hunt imports we have seen in years. These are the horses coming directly from Auteuil, Compiegne and Pau into the top yards in Ireland and the UK, and they could shape the Triumph Hurdle, the Ballymore, the Albert Bartlett and the key novice chase divisions for seasons to come. Adam has identified 15 horses with real potential. Eight now trained by Willie Mullins, who has produced four of the last five Triumph Hurdle winners, and seven more spread across Nicky Henderson, Dan Skelton, David Pipe, Gavin Cromwell, Gordon Elliott, Henry De Bromhead and Ben Pauling. We discuss:• The juvenile who already looks like a Triumph Hurdle prospect• The strong stayer type who could become an Albert Bartlett horse• The Prix Royal Monarch winner, from a race that has produced State Man, Gaelic Warrior, Sir Gino and Salvator Mundi• The new Galiway recruit to join Vauban, Gala Marceau and Jimmy Du Seuil• The dark horse who could progress rapidly from hurdling to chasing Is there another Majborough, Vauban or Sir Gino in this group? We break it down with pedigree insight, French race film notes, pace profiles and likely trainer intent.

Aidan O’Brien joins Emmet Kennedy on The Final Furlong Podcast for an exclusive deep dive into his powerful team for the 2025 Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar — where he bids to extend his record-breaking season of 23 Group 1 victories. The legendary trainer — already joint second-winningmost in Breeders’ Cup history — talks through his squad with trademark insight, from precocious two-year-olds to battle-hardened stars: • Juvenile Turf Sprint: True Love and Mission Central — can O’Brien strike again with two No Nay Nevers?• Juvenile Fillies Turf: Precise chases a fifth straight win after Group 1 domination — could she be another Minding?• Juvenile Turf: Gstaad aims to give Ballydoyle their fourth consecutive win in this race.• Breeders’ Cup Turf: Minnie Hauk, the four-time Oaks heroine, seeks glory at Del Mar after her Arc near-miss.• Breeders’ Cup Mile: The Lion in Winter looks to break through at the top level.• Filly & Mare Turf: Bedtime Story looks to crown a remarkable season for her sire Frankel. O’Brien reflects on maintaining Group 1 excellence across generations, the art of keeping elite older horses like Kyprios thriving, and why Christophe Soumillon could be key to another Breeders’ Cup masterclass. With 23 Group 1 wins already, and with strong chances in six Grade 1 races at Del Mar and Hong Kong still to come, could 2025 be Aidan O’Brien’s greatest ever season? 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.📺 Watch the full interview on YouTube.👉 Tune in for expert insight, data-driven picks, and smart value angles. 💰 Join 1xBet Ireland today and get €30 in free bets when you place a €10 wager.👉 18+ | T&Cs apply | Play responsibly🎁 Loss Refund Bet: Get a free bet back on losing wagers.🔗 ⁠⁠https://1xbet.ie⁠ 🔗 The Final Furlong Podcast — intelligent racing conversation with humour, insight, and edge. ⚡ Proven Form: winners tipped recently at 20/1, 16/1, 14/1, 12/1, and 10/1.🎯 Smart betting meets trusted expertise — only on The Final Furlong Podcast.👍 Likes appreciated! ⚡ Proven Form: Winners tipped recently at 20/1, 16/1, 14/1, 12/1, and 10/1.🎯 Smart betting meets trusted expertise — only on The Final Furlong Podcast.👍 Likes appreciated!

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills (TPD), Laura Joy (EBN), and former jockey Georgia Cox for the ultimate Arc Weekend debrief. From Daryz’s epic win to Minnie Hauk’s near-miss and Asfoora’s Nunthorpe–Abbaye double, we break down every key race with sectionals, form context, and clear Breeders’ Cup and Champions Day paths. Arc Headlines Did Soumillon go too soon? We test the theory with sectionals: race close 36.00 (103.6%), winner 35.55 (104.9%). Draw bias explained: first four home from stalls 2-1-3-5; why geometry mattered. Minnie Hauk’s stride profile: brave in defeat, still 5+ lengths clear of third. Supporting Group 1's Asfoora makes history with the Nunthorpe–Abbaye double, low-draw edge and a passport dash story that nearly scratched her. Barnavara controls the Prix de l’Opéra; One Look upgraded for a stronger pace scenario. Maranoa Charlie makes all to give his late sire Wootton Bassett in the Prix de la Forêt. Mile & Juveniles Diamond Necklace (Boussac) projects Guineas/Oaks; Puerto Rico (Lagardère) screams mile and Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf; Fallen Angel crushes the Sun Chariot—QEII next. Notebook & US Wrap Upgrades: Giavellotto (HK Vase path), Byzantine Dream (better ground), Kalpana (wide, mark up). Stateside: Ted Noffey (Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity), Rhetorical (Coolmore Turf Mile). Why Listen Sectional timing clarity you won’t get on a results page. Racecraft from a pro rider: when to commit, how draws decide tactics. Actionable targets for Del Mar and Ascot, plus early value cues. Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all platforms.
