Trawlerman grinds out Gold Cup glory — but is the division weak?

Royal Ascot Day 2 Betting Preview – The Final Furlong Podcast
Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, Andy Newton, and George Gorman for a full throttle betting breakdown of Wednesday’s Royal Ascot action.
The team kicks off with the Queen Mary Stakes, where double-digit odds selections fly from all sides — and one blistering U.S. speedball could give America its fifth win in a decade. But Adam goes to bat for the rock-solid favourite Zelaina, with data to back it up.
In the Queen’s Vase, Aidan O’Brien’s dominant record makes Shackleton and Scandinavia hard to ignore — but not everyone’s on board. Sharp alternatives are pitched with tactical insights on pace, breeding, and late stamina.
Tempers flare in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes as the panel splits strongly over the right way to play the race — who's reading it right?
Then it’s time for fireworks in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (Group 1):
🗣️ Adam: “Anmaat’s quicker than that boat!”
🎯 Emmet: “Los Angeles is ready to peak.”
💥 Andy & George: major cases made for live dangers
We then dive deep into the Royal Hunt Cup, a notoriously tough handicap where a 50/1 longshot could blow up the betting — and the favourite may be one to get bullish about.
Closing out: best bets for the Kensington Palace Fillies’ Handicap and a confident strike in the Windsor Castle Stakes, where one juvenile looks ready to explode.
📉 Expert insight🎯 Sharp betting plays💰 Confident naps💣 Big-price each-way bombs

The team opens with Tuesday’s St James’s Palace Stakes, where Field Of Gold, Ruling Court, and Henri Matisse—the English, Irish, and French Guineas winners—go head-to-head in a generational clash. Who comes out on top?
Then it’s the Queen Anne Stakes, and six of the last ten winners came through the Lockinge—but does Lead Artist, Rosallion, Dancing Gemini, or Notable Speech hold the edge, or is there a live outsider?
We dig into the King Charles III Stakes, break down Wednesday’s Prince Of Wales’s Stakes where Los Angeles bids to dominate again, and ask: can White Birch or Anmaat flip the form?

Friday’s feature races bring fireworks:
Is Shadow Of Light a sprinting superstar in the Commonwealth Cup?
Can Zarigana claim the Coronation Stakes, or is there a monster each-way bet hiding in plain sight?

Aidan O’Brien ran the table at Epsom — and The Final Furlong Podcast is here to break it all down.
Host Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and George Gorman for an expert postmortem on a Derby Festival dominated by Ballydoyle brilliance and Coolmore class.
🏆 We kick things off with Lambourn, the front-running star who made all in the Betfred Derby and landed a massive on-air gamble for the podcast. Is he a legitimate Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe contender, or was this a one-off? What now for beaten rivals Delacroix and The Lion In Winter?
👑 Then it’s the Oaks, where Minnie Hauk gave Aidan his 11th win in the race — leading home a Coolmore 1-2. But despite her defeat, could Desert Flower still end up Europe’s top 3yo filly?
🥇 In the Coronation Cup, Jan Brueghel showed class and courage to deny Calandagan. We assess future targets and ask the tough question: does Calandagan have the heart for a fight?
💥 Then it’s time to go international, as we break down:
Maximized’s Royal Ascot potential after a stylish win in the Woodcote
Goliath’s King George credentials as Graffard’s other rising star
And the beast from Belmont: Sovereignty, who added a second Classic at Saratoga and looks like the best staying 3yo in the world. Is 4/1 for the Breeders’ Cup Classic the best futures price you’ll see all year?
From tactical breakdowns and gallop whispers to international form lines and bold futures bets, this is your essential G1 review show.

In this Epsom Festival Data Special, Final Furlong Podcast host Emmet Kennedy is joined by RaceiQ Lead Analyst Page Fuller to strip away the hype and reveal what the numbers say about this year’s Derby, Oaks, and Coronation Cup.
In the Betfred Derby, Page breaks down the full performance data on The Lion In Winter, Lambourn, and Delacroix, plus gives the RaceiQ verdict on Dante winner Pride Of Arras, dark horses Stanhope Gardens and Tornado Alert, and tackles the key question: Why isn’t 2000 Guineas winner Ruling Court the Derby favourite?
Then it’s the Oaks, as the team evaluates the credentials of red-hot favourite Desert Flower — does the data support her dominance, or is she vulnerable? Page also unpacks the profiles of top threats in the field and potential value plays hiding in plain sight.

“I lost over a million quid on Frankie Dettori… and I wouldn’t change a thing.”
In this explosive Final Furlong Podcast special, legendary bookmaker, BBC pundit, and racing lifer Gary Wiltshire joins Emmet Kennedy to reflect on 50 Years in the Betting Jungle — from laying the Magnificent Seven to rebuilding his life after public betrayal, tabloid lies, and financial ruin.
With trademark honesty, Wiltshire opens up on:
💥 Losing £1.4m on Frankie Dettori and paying back every penny
🎙️ Life in the betting ring & behind the mic at the BBC
🇮🇪 The Irish angle — teaming up with Johnny Dineen at Cheltenham
📉 How the industry is losing fans & the soul of the sport
💊 Addiction issues in racing — and the silence around it
💡 Why York is the model — and what Irish courses must learn
🍽️ Why he’d love to break bread with Kia Joorabchian at Roly’s to fix the game
🕯️ Surviving depression and finding out who your true friends are
This isn’t just a career retrospective — it’s a no-holds-barred account from a man who’s been to the top, hit rock bottom, and lived to tell the tale.
Also in this episode: Rupert Fowler on bringing fans closer to the sport
We’re joined by Rupert Fowler — lifelong racing fan, syndicate trailblazer, and founder of Sports4Causes, a breakthrough initiative that's redefining ownership for racing fans across Britain.
From owners’ badges and paddock access, to pre-race briefings with the trainer and jockey and lunch in the owners’ enclosure, Sports4Causes gives everyday fans a taste of the VIP experience — all while donating 40% of revenue to Racing Welfare.
Rupert shares the story of how it all began in the pubs of Lambourn with the likes of Emma Lavelle and Richard Hannon, and how Sports4Causes is turning racegoers into racehorse owners — one syndicate at a time.
A brilliant example of how to grow the game from the grassroots up.

The road to Royal Ascot is heating up — and The Final Furlong Podcast team has all the angles.
Emmet Kennedy is joined by Laura Joy, Adam Mills, Jamie Wrenn and Archie Brooks to look back on a brilliant weekend of flat racing with an eye on Group 1 targets and long-range Royal Ascot punts.
We kick off with Lead Artist’s Group 1 Lockinge win, and debate who’s best placed for the Queen Anne Stakes — Rosallion, Notable Speech or Dancing Gemini? The team weighs in, and Laura names a 10/1 shot she believes is the bet right now.
Babouche, Ger Lyons’ Group 1-winning juvenile, impressed in the Lacken Stakes — but is she worth backing for the Commonwealth Cup?
We also debate the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, with a confident 33/1 tip, plus takes on French raiders and Aidan’s Aussie-bred wildcard.
Can See The Fire be a Juddmonte International filly? What next for Rebel’s Romance and Kyprios after their latest runs?
And we scout potential Royal Ascot 2yo stars — including an Albany outsider to watch.

The Derby and Oaks picture at Epsom is taking shape — and The Final Furlong Podcast is here to break it down.
Emmet Kennedy is joined by Laura Joy, Adam Mills, Jamie Wrenn and Archie Brooks to review all the key contenders now that the classic trials are in the books.
In the Derby, there’s a growing case for a 33/1 outsider, while Laura and Archie agree on a colt who should be favourite — but currently isn’t. From trial winners to hidden gems, we give you the full profile on this year’s crop.
Then it’s the fillies’ turn, and the team doesn’t agree — with real debate over the Oaks market leader’s ability to stay the trip, and which of Aidan O’Brien’s runners holds the aces. There’s also a bold look at the 1000/1 double that might not be as crazy as it sounds.
Full classic analysis, longshot plays, sharp angles and plenty of strong opinions.

It’s a weekend packed with clues, class and value — and The Final Furlong Podcast team is ready. Emmet Kennedy is joined by George Gorman, Andy Newton and Jake Wilkes to preview a brilliant few days of racing — headlined by the Group 1 Boylesports Lockinge Stakes, where the team is split: one is swinging for an 18/1 outsider, while another is supremely confident in a 4/1 play.
In the always-intriguing Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap, George believes he’s found a "handicap plot", and Andy makes the same horse his next best bet at 7/1.
We then turn to Naas on Sunday, where potential Royal Ascot contenders are on show — and Jake lands on a double-figure priced selection he’s extremely bullish about.
The team also reacts to the latest curveball in the Derby picture: The Lion In Winter’s defeat. Can Aidan O’Brien pull another late rabbit out of the hat after yet another first-time flop?
