🎙 Final Furlong Podcast – Irish Derby & UK Group Weekend Betting Preview

It’s a classic weekend of Group 1 action and high-stakes handicaps across The Curragh, Newcastle & York, and Emmet Kennedy is joined by George Gorman, Peter Michael, and Andy Newton to line up your best bets.

✅ Inside the episode:

🏇 Irish Derby (G1) – Can Aidan O’Brien dominate again? Or is there value lurking outside Ballydoyle? We debate Lambourn’s chances as a potential Group 1 “good thing.”

👑 Pretty Polly Stakes (G1) – Is this just Kalpana v Whirl, or is the market missing a trick? One panel member says: “Everything is in her favour. She should be too good for these.”

💣 Northumberland Plate (Heritage Handicap) – Each-way chaos! We’ve got double-figure darts for the feature race at Newcastle — with draw, pace, and track stats broken down.

🔥 York’s Criterion Stakes – George goes to war with a 20/1 shot in one of Saturday’s trickiest Group 3s.

💬 Quote of the pod: “At 18/1, he just seems overpriced…” 👀
