“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.

A classic weekend of racing is here — and The Final Furlong Podcast is ready with Group 1s, bold opinions, and big-value plays.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Andy Newton to preview a stacked two days at The Curragh, Goodwood, Beverley, and Haydock, with a Lucky 15 that pays 1630/1!

In the Irish 2000 Guineas, the panel is united in taking on the odds-on favourite — and we explain why Field Of Goldcould be set for redemption under Colin Keane.

We also preview the Greenlands Stakes, where an Australian import for Aidan O’Brien makes his Irish debut — but two of the team prefer a sharp-looking 8/1 shot.

Over in Britain, we cover six key races, including the Temple Stakes, the Sandy Lane, and two major juvenile tests at Beverley.

Then it’s back to The Curragh for a massive Sunday featuring the Tattersalls Gold Cup — can Los Angeles turn the tables on White Birch, or is there a party spoiler waiting?
And in the Irish 1000 Guineas, we break down strong runners from Aidan O’Brien and Dermot Weld, and three of the team are against the favourite...

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?

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Ryan Anderson and Charlie Freeman — two sharp analysts from America’s Best Racing and the HHH Racing Podcast — to break down the second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown as Journalism looks to bounce back after a massive run in the Kentucky Derby.

But can the morning line favorite handle the quick turnaround at Pimlico? The lads dive into pace, track bias, pedigree, and race shape — and both land on a must-use 20/1 shot in their trifecta tickets.

You’ll also get undercard value tips, including a confident 8/1 banker the panel believes is flying under the radar.

Preakness angles, sharp U.S. insight, and full-card firepower — it’s all here in our Preakness 150 Special.

In this Final Furlong audio podcast exclusive, we reflect on two major moments that have rocked the racing world.

First, Rachael Blackmore — the groundbreaking, history-making champion — has announced her retirement. From a 7lb claimer at Clonmel to winning every major championship race at Cheltenham and rewriting the Grand National record books aboard Minella Times, Rachael inspired a generation. Emmet Kennedy is joined by the man behind so many of those iconic victories, Henry de Bromhead, to pay tribute to a jockey who changed the sport forever.

Then, we turn to Longchamp, where controversy erupted in the aftermath of the French 1,000 Guineas. She’s Perfect crossed the line first — seemingly handing a first Classic win to trainer Charlie Fellowes and owner Basher Watts — only to be demoted after a stewards’ inquiry in favour of a whipless Zarigana. What happened, and what does it say about racing’s rules?

Basher Watts joins us to give his first full reaction — and it’s unmissable.

On this packed episode of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn and George Gorman to unpack a week of drama, dominance and divisive opinions in the build-up to Epsom.

We begin in France with heartbreak for Basher Watts, Kieran Shoemark and Charlie Fellowes as She’s Perfect is controversially disqualified from the French 1000 Guineas, handing the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches to Zarigana, who emulates her famous granddam in style. But did the stewards get it right — and should the team appeal?

From there, it’s all roads to Epsom, as Ballydoyle's iron grip on the Classic trials continues at Chester, Lingfield and Leopardstown. The panel debates which of Aidan O’Brien’s stars are true Derby or Oaks contenders, and which are better Royal Ascot material. The podcast is split — with two of the team pushing hard for a 10/1 Oaks filly, while the others are outright dismissive.

Could O’Brien’s best Derby hope actually emerge from York in the shape of The Lion In Winter? And is one Classic trial runner being criminally underestimated at 33/1 for Epsom?

Plus: Two juveniles to follow for Royal Ascot, and a look at whether East India Dock can follow up his Chester Cup heroics at the summer showpiece.

In a seismic moment for horse racing, Rachael Blackmore has announced her immediate retirement from the saddle, ending a trailblazing 16-year career that redefined the sport’s boundaries. In this emergency edition of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn, and George Gorman to reflect on the astonishing achievements, historic milestones, and unmatched legacy of the most influential National Hunt jockey of her generation.

From shattering the glass ceiling at Cheltenham to winning the Grand National, Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase, and this year’s Stayers' Hurdle, Blackmore’s story is one of talent, tenacity, and transformation — not just for racing, but for sport.

The panel discusses her greatest rides, her long-standing alliance with Henry de Bromhead, the reaction within the weighing room, and what this shock retirement means for the future of the weighing room and women in sport.
