Welcome to the Final Furlong podcast.

Hopefully you were with us for the weekend preview where we gave you six winners.

And there were some big priced winners in there as well.

We are back previewing the best of the weekends racing. And our full York preview is coming away very very soon so make sure you like and subscribe to the final foreign podcast on YouTube and whichever podcast app it is you're listening to is on in this episode of the show Adam Mills Jamie Ren and I are gonna take an early look at the major races for the Jobmont International meeting,

the York Ebor meeting. We have to give it its proper title, the Ebor meeting at Yorks. We're

going to look at the Jobmont International, Coolmore Nonthorpe, Yorkshire Rokes, that'll be a real

puzzle, and the Ebor, which Jamie Wren is very confident that he has the winner of. But before we get

to those races, we'll look back on the best of what we saw from the weekend and spare a thought for Adam Mills, black armbands in the Mills household as the Group 1 sprinting sensation Lazat. The horse that was going to revolutionize, rejuvenate and save the sprinting division, got chin. It's a very, very short price favorite in the Primoriste Giste at the weekend. He was beaten by Oshin Murphy and Seizier. They say Andrerei Fob can't train sprinters. Well, it turns that he can.

And this horse is unbeaten under Oshin Murphy.

And I'm a right fool, Adam Mills, because I backed Sejure for the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Didn't have a scent on him, though, in this race. So I felt like a right dummy. probably didn't feel as much as dumb as I do thinking as that was a good value price at 4 to 7, but it's just the way it goes. I think in hindsight there's no way on earth. Sadie here is suddenly this 125 rate sprint throughs down Lazat. I don't mean to criticize James Doyle because he was brilliant at Ascot, but I just think he got this wrong. I suspect they were looking at this race thinking, we've got this sewn up. And if we don't give him too hard a time, we can probably turn him around quickly and get a Haydock as well. And they just didn't go hard enough. The reason Lazat wins his race is he blasts at the start, opening two furlongs and normally absolutely red-hot pace, he gets everything else out of its comfort zone. So far clear they can't get to him. This race had a finishing speed. Everything's got a finishing speed of well over 100%. The leaders are closer to 110. They just went a bit of a crawl. There's no real pace in the race. That suits Sajir. He's got two subs, 11 second furlongs in the closing stages. On the one hand, the form's all right, because Woodshana's there, and Lazzat has gone again in the closing stages, but to be beaten by such year, it's just a real like kicking the nuts. I can't. I think they got the tactics completely wrong, and I think on another day, Lazat would absolutely bury him. We should also say that Jerome Rainier is not in the greatest form at the moment. So there is a possible slight excuse, but I don't really want to make an excuse because Sajia's done it the hard way. He's come from the back in a steadily run race down the centre of the course without the rail to help. So you'd have to be thinking maybe he's done all right there to win it.

And he's the horse who's best suited by that setup.

But in future, when they go harder from the front and when Lazat is just allowed to gallop on,

I'd be fairly confident that he's going to reverse this form with ease.

35 days and 17 runners since Jerome Rennier had a winner. That's possible an excuse. Just to stay with Lazat for a second, he's suddenly a bigger price than people were expecting for the champion sprint. I'd ask it. Back to that track. Now, we've no idea what the ground conditions are going to be. Sometimes it's so bad they have to run on the jumps course but 11 to 4 that's the price that I'm seeing

an offer does that appeal to you for the champion sprint if I knew he was definitely going to run it

would do I think if he's 11 to 4 on the day by some miracle then I'd be all in I'm not worried

about the ground at all he sort of began his career at can Samaria in February when, you know, they will run

on tarmac. They'd also run on quicksand. They're not really bothered about the conditions.

So he'll go through the mud fine. Just be a little concerned as kind of there is that nagging down.
