The Final Furlong Podcast

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).

We start with the Fighting Fifth Hurdle (2:00 Newcastle) — a race that looks like it could define the early Champion Hurdle picture.Constitution Hill’s seasonal return, The New Lion stepping up, Golden Ace bringing champion credentials, and Anzadam adding serious pace. The panel agree it’s down to two horses, and three of them are firmly in the same camp. At Newbury, Myretown heads the betting for the Hennessy Gold Cup, but the team make the case for a trio of big-priced alternatives at 12/1, 22/1 and 28/1.

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. With bold opinions, measured analysis, longshot plays, and proper Festival-significance across three racecourses, this is the perfect setup for your weekend punting.

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.

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. Horses discussedKai Lung, Larinka, Narciso Has, Madness D’Elle, Manita, Macho Man, Mister Yves, Proactif (Willie Mullins)Manlaga (Henderson), Parchment (Pipe), Mojito Des Mottes (Ben Pauling), Maestro Conti (Skelton), Ole Ole (Cromwell), Matin Midi Et Soir (De Bromhead), Mange Tout (Elliott) Presented by 1xBet.ie – more than 7000 events per day, fast withdrawals, and new customer specials.

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!
