British Champions Day Review with Paul Hanagan
Dual Champion jockey Paul Hanagan joins Emmet to review British Champions Day at Ascot. Big Rock stole the show with a jaw-dropping performance in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. They explore the significance of the ground conditions and speculate on what to expect from the son of Rock Of Gibraltar in 2024. Frankie's farewell resulted in epic scenes as Trawlerman somehow beat Kypios, and King Of Steel won a much-deserved Group 1 in the day's feature race, making it the only horse to win on the day from off the gallop. Could the Breeders Cup be next for Kia Joorabchian's star? The lads also discuss Art Power's first Group 1 victory and the fairytale win for Poptronic in the Fillies & Mares Stakes. Lastly, the lads delve into the upcoming ITV Drive to Survive-style documentary for horse racing as Ireland faces a SKY/Racing TV blackout.

Ascot British Champions Day Preview with a 16/1 NAP | Paddington v Tahiyra
Six-time Champion tipster Paul Jacobs joins Emmet to preview British Champions Day at Ascot. We preview every race as three individual Guineas winners, Paddington, Tahiyra, and Chaldean, face each other in a vintage Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, and the duo shares their strong opinions on their bets. Meanwhile, the feature race, the Champion Stakes, appears wide open, and both Paul and Emmet want to take on the market leaders. They each back Kyprios and Trueshan in the Champions Long Distance Cup, but Paul has some very strong selections, including a 16/1 next best and a 14/1 NAP. Emmet is going over the cliff with a 20/1 shot he can't resist and makes the case for a 50/1 each-way play.

Aidan O'Brien: Champions Day and Breeders Cup Stable Tour
Aidan O'Brien joins Emmet Kennedy to discuss his running plans and the latest information on his team for Champions Day at Ascot, the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita, the Japan Cup, and Hong Kong. But we start by discussing his four individual Group 1-winning juveniles, beginning with his unbeaten Dewhurst winner, City Of Troy, and his potential to become the first Triple Crown winner in 54 years. Opera Singer looks like an exciting prospect, and Aidan shares running plans for her and explains the importance of their sire, Justify, and how he expects them to develop next year. We also talk about classic aims for Ylang Ylang and Henry Longfellow. The focus then switches to Champions Day as Aidan unleashes major firepower while aiming for his seventh British Trainers Championship. We discuss Kyprios, Aesop's Fables, Jackie Oh, Paddington, and Point Lonsdale. Aidan has more juvenile talent to unleash, and he talks about plans for Illinois, Military, Cambridge, Los Angeles, and Diego Velazquez, who runs in next week's Kameko Futurity Trophy Stakes Group 1 at Doncaster. Finally, we switch to the Breeders Cup and discuss Auguste Rodin, Henry Adams, Unquestionable, River Tiber, Content, Warm Heart, and the Japan Cup, where Continuous could be joined by Luxembourg.

Can City Of Troy Win the Triple Crown? Exciting Prospects for Godolphin. Where Is the Betting Ring Coverage?
Jockey Dougie Costello joins Emmet to review a weekend dominated by the two Boys in Blue, Coolmore, and Godolphin. Aidan O'Brien took both Newmarket juvenile Group 1s with classic prospects, and we begin with the hugely exciting City Of Troy in the Dewhurst Stakes. How good is he, and can the son of Justify win the Triple Crown? Ylang Ylang got back on track in the Fillies' Mile. Is the daughter of Frankel capable of winning a Guineas, or should her main aim be the Oaks? It's been a tough season for Godolphin as a whole, but they have a lot to look forward to in the shape of Newmarket winners Ancient Wisdom and Arabian Crown. Meanwhile, one of the lads thinks the best of them might be Dance Sequence, who looks like a huge player in the 1000 Guineas! Speaking of the first filly's classic of the season, this year's winner, Mawj, was finally back in action at Keeneland as she won the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes under Oisin Murphy. But what race should she go for at the Breeders Cup? We also discuss the lack of betting ring coverage on telly and Frankie Dettori's retirement u-turn!

Dougie and Emmet's Secret Podcast: Doping Scandal, Future Stars, St. Leger Preview, and Irish Champions Festival Review
Jockey Dougie Costello joins Emmet to review the Irish Champions Festival with a view to the future and to look ahead to the St Leger at Doncaster. The lads start off by reacting to the Luke Comer doping ban that has rocked Irish Racing. Then they chat about Auguste Rodin's second Lazarus-like performance of the season, and Aidan O'Brien saddled the one-two in the Irish Champion Stakes. Can he win at the Breeders Cup? Where next for Luxembourg? And after the Amo Racing fallout, they debate, is King Of Steel really that good? The focus switches to future stars Diego Velazquez, Fallen Angel, and Henry Longfellow. Dougie has worked with one of these horses as a yearling and has serious doubts about one of these horses going forward. Then they switch to Dougie's upcoming rides on Saturday and the final Classic of the season, the St Leger, where the lads are in agreement on a bet. There's plenty of conversation, craic, and insight on a podcast so good that they had to record it twice!

The Jumps is Back! National Hunt Season Preview from Two-Milers to Staying Chasers
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? Plus, James Bowen gives us some fascinating insight into what it's like to ride work on Constitution Hill, describes his personality at Seven Barrows, and discusses whether it should be hurdles or fences for Nicky's superstar this season.

Riding Blind: How Jockeys Were Kept in the Dark About New BHA Whip Rules
In a special edition of the Final Furlong, Emmet Kennedy is joined by former jockey Martin Dwyer, the former CEO of the PJA, Paul Struthers, and top jockey Tom Marquand to prove that jockeys were unaware of the new BHA whip rules before their publication last summer. The perspectives shared by Martin and Tom, along with the findings presented in this episode's research, reveal that jockeys were kept uninformed during the whip consultation process. Even the few who were aware were prohibited from sharing any warnings about the new rules and the accompanying severe punishments for violations. This podcast strives to debunk the misconception that the majority of jockeys were aware of the rules before their release by the BHA and the PJA. The treatment of jockeys is deemed unjust, and this episode aims to shed light on the truth while advocating for reduced and equitable penalties. The objective is to enable jockeys to carry out their responsibilities without the looming threat of overly stringent bans. We encourage you, the FFP Army, to play your role and spread the message about this episode extensively across all social media platforms.
