Summary

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. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple & all podcast 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.

0:20.8	The betting is now headed by
0:22.2	Line in Winter. We've gone all the way out to 6 to 1, which, by the way, not a massive price
0:27.5	after a comeback that was a rather underwhelming. 7 to 2 is the top price of bet him. He is 9 to 4 and 5 to 2,
0:34.3	2 to 1 in places. He has been backed incredibly strongly. Deliquot has gone completely the other way, 5 to 2, 2 to 1 in places. He has been backed incredibly strongly.
