The Final Furlong Podcast

What can the data tell us that the form book doesn't? Emmet Kennedy is joined by RaceiQ's lead analyst Laura Joy for a special edition of the Final Furlong Podcast, examining all seven races on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot.

🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland. More than 7,000 events per day, fast withdrawals & new customer specials. Bet €10 and get €48 when you use Promo Code 1XEMMET20 👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/0r7bzDoH ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠18+. T&Cs apply. Gamble responsibly. Your game. Your odds. Your 1xBet.

Using stride length, cadence, acceleration, sectional times, finishing speed and draw bias, Laura examines the numbers behind the leading contenders, identifies potentially vulnerable favourites and explores where the betting value might lie.

12:55 | TWO-YEAR-OLD CONDITIONS STAKES

Can Night In Vegas continue his winning sequence, or do the speed figures favour Arapaho Gold? RaceiQ examines the juveniles' acceleration, finishing speed and the significance of their previous meetings.

13:30 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS LONG DISTANCE CUP (GROUP 1)

Progressive Ebor winner Daiquiri Bay steps into Group 1 company. But it's a horse who he beat in the Ebor that intrigues Laura with impressive sectionals suggest he could be a serious contender, but will the step up to two miles suit?

14:05 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS SPRINT STAKES (GROUP 1)

Almeraq is the horse to beat, but does the data suggest he's vulnerable on quicker ground? Laura examines his acceleration and finishing-speed figures, while putting forward a fascinating alternative.

14:40 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS FILLIES & MARES STAKES (GROUP 1)

Kalpana bids for a third consecutive victory, but could stall one, a stronger pace and her demanding Yorkshire Oaks performance leave her vulnerable? RaceiQ examines the potential draw disadvantage and whether Lilt could improve significantly over a mile and a half.

15:20 | QUEEN ELIZABETH II STAKES (GROUP 1)

Gstaad faces a fascinating tactical challenge against Talk Of New York, whose Joel Stakes victory produced exceptional speed figures.

16:00 | CHAMPION STAKES (GROUP 1)

Calandagan versus Ombudsman. A rematch between two outstanding middle-distance performers.

RaceiQ breaks down last year's Champion Stakes sectionals to reveal where Calandagan gained the decisive advantage, what Ombudsman must do differently and how Bay City Roller, Almaqam and Constitution River compare.

16:35 | BALMORAL HANDICAP

Could Gavriel be particularly well suited by dropping back to a mile?

His remarkable stride-frequency figures suggest there may be more improvement to come, while the draw and pace analysis could prove crucial in this competitive handicap.

12:55 | TWO-YEAR-OLD CONDITIONS STAKES

Inner City Blues drops in class for Charlie Appleby and William Buick, but can he justify favouritism against the progressive Night In Vegas and Gimcrack winner Arapaho Gold, who has strong support from the panel?

13:30 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS LONG DISTANCE CUP (GROUP 1)

Caballo De Mar bids for another Group 1, St Leger winner Highwayman represents Joseph O'Brien, and Gregory attracts support as a potential value alternative.

14:05 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS SPRINT STAKES (GROUP 1)

Can Almeraq land his third Group 1 of the season, or will the sprint wheel of madness strike again? The panel put forward outsiders at 33/1 and 66/1.

14:40 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS FILLIES & MARES STAKES (GROUP 1)

Kalpana targets a remarkable third consecutive victory, with Lilt, Sparan Nua, Irish Oaks winner Johanna Walsh and Inis Mor among the challengers.

15:20 | QUEEN ELIZABETH II STAKES (GROUP 1)

Talk Of New York heads the betting, but Gstaad is strongly fancied by members of the panel as one of the day's best bets. Zavatari, Zeus Olympios and Ten Bob Tony also come under scrutiny.

16:00 | CHAMPION STAKES (GROUP 1)

Six runners. £1.3 million in prize money. A heavyweight rematch between defending champion Calandagan and Ombudsman.

Arc runner-up Bay City Roller, dual Group 1 winner Constitution River and Almaqam add further intrigue to a fascinating renewal.

Two Group 1 victories in France, a runner-up in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and now three runners heading to Ascot for QIPCO British Champions Day.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by trainer George Scott to reflect on an extraordinary few weeks and preview his leading contenders for one of the biggest days in British Flat racing.

BAY CITY ROLLER | CHAMPION STAKES

After his outstanding second in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Bay City Roller returns to Ascot for the Champion Stakes.

George discusses his Arc performance, the drop back to ten furlongs, ground conditions and the ambitious possibility of tackling the Breeders' Cup just two weeks later. Can the 9/2 contender deliver a first Champion Stakes victory for the stable?

CABALLO DE MAR | LONG DISTANCE CUP

Fresh from defending his Prix du Cadran crown at Longchamp, Caballo De Mar bids for another major staying prize in the Long Distance Cup.

George reflects on the emotional Group 1 victory, reversing form with Scandinavia and the remarkable recovery that has put his stable star back in contention at Ascot. Can the 2/1 favourite strike again just two weeks after his French triumph?

WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE | INTERNATIONAL AMBITIONS

Following his impressive Prix Dollar victory, Wimbledon Hawkeye could be heading for the Bahrain International Trophy, with Hong Kong and Dubai also potential targets. George explains the improvement he's seen since the horse joined his yard and why an international campaign could bring out the very best in him.

POATAN | CHAMPIONS SPRINT

At 66/1, Poatan faces a formidable challenge in the British Champions Sprint Stakes. George explains why he's taking his chance at Group 1 level and what would represent a successful afternoon.

THE RISE OF GEORGE SCOTT: From major victories at Longchamp to competing at the highest level across multiple distances, George reflects on what this remarkable run means for his career, his team and the future of his stable.

Plus, with Bay City Roller and Caballo De Mar both holding major chances at Ascot, which horse would George choose if guaranteed just one winner?

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, George Gorman, Peter Michael and Jaime Wrenn for the Weekend Betting Guide, with their best bets from a huge Saturday of racing at Newmarket, Ascot, Redcar and Longchamp.

🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland. More than 7,000 events per day, fast withdrawals & new customer specials. Bet €10 and get €48 when you use Promo Code 1XEMMET20 👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/0r7bzDoH ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠18+. T&Cs apply. Gamble responsibly. Your game. Your odds. Your 1xBet.

🏆 SUN CHARIOT STAKES

Blue Bolt is a red-hot favourite as she bids for a remarkable fourth consecutive Group 1 victory. Can anything stop her at Newmarket?

🇫🇷 LONGCHAMP GROUP 1s

Scandinavia is odds-on for the Prix du Cadran, but can George Scott’s Caballo De Mar cause an upset?

There could also be value in the Prix de Royallieu, where one member of the panel makes a 16/1 shot one of his best bets of the weekend.

💰 SATURDAY’S BEST BETS

At Ascot, three of the panel are keen on Plage De Havre in the Cumberland Lodge, although George has his reservations.

There’s also a strong 8/1 fancy in the Challenge Cup, while another member of the team believes favourite Thunder Call could be a Group horse in a handicap.

🎡 THE SPRINT WHEEL OF MADNESS RETURNS

And not once, but twice. The wheel tackles Ascot’s Rous Stakes before returning for the Bengough Stakes, where the panel are divided over Division and Prince Of India.

Plus, Night In Vegas goes chasing another lucrative sales-race success at Newmarket, Revels tackles the Redcar Two Year Old Trophy and Witness Stand drops in class in search of his first win of the season.

One of the biggest events in the international bloodstock calendar is almost here. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Tattersalls Director of Marketing Jason Singh for a special Final Furlong Podcast preview of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1, taking place at Park Paddocks in Newmarket from October 6th–8th.

🌍 WHY THE WORLD COMES TO TATTERSALLS

What keeps the major international buyers returning to Newmarket? Jason explains how Tattersalls attracts owners and bloodstock operations from around the world, the growing importance of the American market, and where the next generation of international buyers could come from.

🏆 FROM THE SALES RING TO THE DERBY

The ultimate advertisement is success on the racecourse. Tattersalls October graduates filled the first four places in the Derby, headed by Christmas Day.

Jason discusses what results like that mean internationally and why producing elite horses year after year remains such a powerful part of the Book 1 appeal.

🐎 469 YEARLINGS. ELITE PEDIGREES.

This year’s Book 1 features 469 yearlings, including siblings to 44 Classic and Group 1 winners.

Among the headline pedigrees are relatives of Christmas Day, Precise, Blue Bolt, Venetian Sun, Mission Central and Romantic Warrior, alongside the only yearling from Equinox’s first crop being offered at public auction in Europe.

🔨 INSIDE BOOK 1

Jason takes us behind the scenes at Park Paddocks, from attracting international buyers to the atmosphere when two major operations decide they want the same horse.

Plus, the impact of Book 1 on Newmarket, the £25,000 Book 1 Bonus, and how a company founded in 1766 combines its history and prestige with the demands of marketing bloodstock to a modern global audience.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, George Gorman and Jaime Wrenn for the Weekend Betting Guide, with two Group 1s and the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket, plus the Beresford Stakes at the Curragh.

🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland. More than 7,000 events per day, fast withdrawals & new customer specials. Bet €10 and get €48 when you use Promo Code 1XEMMET20 👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/0r7bzDoH ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠18+. T&Cs apply. Gamble responsibly. Your game. Your odds. Your 1xBet.

🏆 CHEVELEY PARK STAKES: Sun Goddess looked a potential star when beating the colts in Group 1 company at the Curragh. Can she confirm herself as one of the season’s leading juvenile fillies and continue her team’s remarkable record in this race?

⭐ MIDDLE PARK STAKES: Unbeaten Inner City Blues returns for Charlie Appleby after two impressive victories. His trainer has compared him favourably with his sire Blue Point, but can he deliver in Group 1 company?

💰 CAMBRIDGESHIRE: One of the great betting handicaps of the Flat season. Crest Of Fire drops back into handicap company after his latest Group 3 assignment and appeals as a horse capable of landing a major prize.

🔥 SATURDAY’S BEST BETS: The team also tackle the Royal Lodge, where unbeaten Burning Up takes on Haffner, while Aidan O’Brien bids for yet another Beresford Stakes with an exciting three-pronged team headed by Noble Exhibit. And there’s a major price among the team’s strongest selections, with Andy Newton putting up a 33/1 NAP.
