Summary

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills (TPD), Laura Joy (EBN), and former jockey Georgia Cox for the ultimate Arc Weekend debrief. From Daryz’s epic win to Minnie Hauk’s near-miss and Asfoora’s Nunthorpe–Abbaye double, we break down every key race with sectionals, form context, and clear Breeders’ Cup and Champions Day paths. Arc Headlines Did Soumillon go too soon? We test the theory with sectionals: race close 36.00 (103.6%), winner 35.55 (104.9%). Draw bias explained: first four home from stalls 2-1-3-5; why geometry mattered. Minnie Hauk’s stride profile: brave in defeat, still 5+ lengths clear of third. Supporting Group 1's Asfoora makes history with the Nunthorpe–Abbaye double, low-draw edge and a passport dash story that nearly scratched her. Barnavara controls the Prix de l’Opéra; One Look upgraded for a stronger pace scenario. Maranoa Charlie makes all to give his late sire Wootton Bassett in the Prix de la Forêt. Mile & Juveniles Diamond Necklace (Boussac) projects Guineas/Oaks; Puerto Rico (Lagardère) screams mile and Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf; Fallen Angel crushes the Sun Chariot—QEII next. Notebook & US Wrap Upgrades: Giavellotto (HK Vase path), Byzantine Dream (better ground), Kalpana (wide, mark up). Stateside: Ted Noffey (Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity), Rhetorical (Coolmore Turf Mile). Why Listen Sectional timing clarity you won’t get on a results page.

Welcome along to the weekend review of a sensational weekend for Team Final Furlong

podcast, multiple winners.

0:17.0

Two double-figure price winners, at least.

0:19.0

There might have been three, actually.

0:20.0

To break down what was a sensational weekend, total performance date is Adam Mills is alongside us. EBN's Laura Joy returns to the podcast, having been in Parry Longshump and former jockey Georgia Cox alongside it as well, a pretty thrilling weekend. Laura, first of all, the atmosphere of Parry Longchump yesterday, it just looked to be electric. Yeah, it was, it was phenomenal. And I suppose for the, for the

0:37.7

French to have an Aga Khan winner like that as well, it just lifted the roof. So it was amazing.

0:51.7

It looked as though Mini Hawk had that race sewn up, spare of thought, please, with Jamie Wren, 16 to 1. Three months ago, he put her up on the Final Forland podcast. He backed her accordingly. sent me a picture of a bottle of Bulmers and how this was not going to be sufficient

0:53.7

to just help him recover from the agony

0:55.9

of being beaten in a photo finish.

0:57.6

But he did have Maranona Charlie and thankfully the right horse beat him on the day, Adam, because some of us were very comfortable about Darius. Yeah, I thought it was great. You know, world's greatest race won by world's greatest trainer, isn't that the best summary of it? wasn't it just the two best trainers in the world wasn't it obvious with the benjamin hindsight the two best trainers end up fighting out the finish the other guys all right the other guys are right i suppose but no we have um we have ordered the franzi sombre graffard photo can't go in the bedroom apparently it's going to go somewhere on the wall beyond me but just crowned off a brilliant season

1:28.6

and I've kind of annoyed

1:29.5

it's Dorees though

1:30.4

it said to me at the start So can't go in the bedroom apparently. It's going to go somewhere on the wall behind me, but just crowned off a brilliant season.

1:28.7

I'm kind of annoyed it's Dorees, though. He said to me at the start of the season, this is going to be the one. I mean, yeah, he's a white. Winsie's slowly run races, but he's just 12 furlongs has made a man of him. He's a completely different animal, really suited by the way that paved out. and as much as I back Mini Hawk

1:44.6

and I was quite comfortable with the way

1:45.9

Sumion was going, it was obvious that the two Furlong pole was like, this is over. Dorese has just got far too much and there it is, but they're miles clear of the rest. The one thing you'd have to say is that the draw is a key factor and there's lots of horses to forgive from Perry Longsham.

2:01.6

Nothing they can do about the draw bias, but kind of a lot of those drawn out in the car part,

2:05.4

their race was run before I even got to the start.

2:07.2

But these two perfectly positioned, they've pulled well clear.
