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!

Without question the very best sports Podcast! Premium quality but available for free! Thanks to all the team for keeping the show going during the lockdown and keeping us entertained. The show with Hector is an instant classic! The original, often copied, even by those who worked on it, but no Podcast comes close to his class. Particularly a fan of Emmet Kenners, Sarah Lynam, Rory Delargy, Kate Tracey, The Rix and Jess Stafford. More with them plz! Give us more!
