Summary

Aidan O’Brien ran the table at Epsom — and The Final Furlong Podcast is here to break it all down. Host Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and George Gorman for an expert postmortem on a Derby Festival dominated by Ballydoyle brilliance and Coolmore class. 🏆 We kick things off with Lambourn, the front-running star who made all in the Betfred Derby and landed a massive on-air gamble for the podcast. Is he a legitimate Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe contender, or was this a one-off? What now for beaten rivals Delacroix and The Lion In Winter? 👑 Then it’s the Oaks, where Minnie Hauk gave Aidan his 11th win in the race — leading home a Coolmore 1-2. But despite her defeat, could Desert Flower still end up Europe’s top 3yo filly? 🥇 In the Coronation Cup, Jan Brueghel showed class and courage to deny Calandagan. We assess future targets and ask the tough question: does Calandagan have the heart for a fight? 💥 Then it’s time to go international, as we break down: Maximized’s Royal Ascot potential after a stylish win in the Woodcote Goliath’s King George credentials as Graffard’s other rising star And the beast from Belmont: Sovereignty, who added a second Classic at Saratoga and looks like the best staying 3yo in the world. Is 4/1 for the Breeders’ Cup Classic the best futures price you’ll see all year? From tactical breakdowns and gallop whispers to international form lines and bold futures bets, this is your essential G1 review show. 🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & all major platforms📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube Form Tools: Proform is the essential tool for punters looking to make money from betting on Horse Racing.
