The Final Furlong Podcast - En podkast av The Final Furlong Podcast
It’s a blockbuster weekend of jumps racing across Ascot, Haydock, and Punchestown, and Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, George Gorman, and Jamie Wrenn for a fast-paced, opinion-packed preview loaded with value bets, data-backed angles, and plenty of laughs. 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.
