Another profitable weekend preview podcast and indeed a York preview podcast, several double-figure-priced winners from the man to my right, Adam Mills.

25 to one winner. Again from Andy Newton with another big priced winner. A few in there from Peter Michael as well, never so brave doing the business for us in the big group one, all of which we're now going to talk about as part of our York review in the company of Adam Mills, Georgia Cox and Jamie Wren, racing experts won and all. Make sure you have liked this episode of the Final Front on podcast, particularly if you on those winners, will begin with Jobmont International, twice the highest rated race in the world. This year, it was almost a complete, and utter farce. Rab Havelin on Burr Castle was allowed to steal a 30-length lead as he rounded the final turn, and for much of the straight, it looked like he was going to hold on. hold on. Thankfully, it wasn't another Sussex Stakes boilover. As class ended up telling an

ombudsman came through showing why he's the leader in the 10th for long division, I got this race badly wrong, Adam Mills. Very uncomfortable to watch, but class did come true to the top. Yeah, Klaus came through to the top. I'm not sure he's that uncomfortable. To be fair, at least Rab having had the sense at the fourth furlong pole to take a pool and to give his horse a breather because actually there's no point being a pacemaker when you're 30 lengths in front. And I think, you know, the big disappointment in the race was Dan on the seal who just ran no race whatsoever. But I sort of think all the other jockeys were looking at the Japanese lad thinking, go on then, you're the one that stays 12 furlongs, you go after him. And when he didn't, it became a bit of a mess. You know, having backed Burr Castle at four to five when he got turned over at Chanty, if he'd have won this and 150s, I'd have been absolutely throwing the laptop against the wall. But Burr Castle is the only slight negative. He's got within four lengths, and on my figures he's barely 100 horse.

But Rababin takes that pull.

Just, I think, for two reasons.

Firstly, that gets Burk Castle home, but it also gives onwardsmen a target to run down.

I don't buy this thing that Delacquire wasn't suited by this this because the race panned out in a way that should

surely have suited Delacquire based on the way he finished at Sandown. The finishing speed was

109%. It wasn't like the pace was absolutely collapsing. I just think, unfortunately, and I'll say

this once because I know he's going to listen, Peter Michael was right, and Ombudsman is the

better horse, and we're just going to have to move on. You all laughed at me. What I have to say, you're not laughing now, are you? That sound drop is being used on Talksport, too, and it's too good not to use. And somewhere, Peter Michael's ears are burning, by the way, and he's loving life. I told you all.

There's nothing to really say about it. I've watched his three or four times. Even if you watch it and you pretend Burr Castle isn't it in the race, Ombudsman just miles better. He picks up at the two-thorong pony goes and Delacroar can't live with him. Aiden can talk about putting his own pacemakers in and maybe that'll make a difference if they meet again, I just don't think it will.

I think William Buick knows what he did wrong at Sandown. He's not going to do it again. And I think when they look at this at Balladour in the cold light of day, they might try and avoid on this man from that one. Well, it sounds like they're going to clash, at least as things stand, both headed to the Irish champion stakes. Aidan O'Brien was adamant. He didn't run his race. And he's right, the figures were back that up.

He was seven pounds below his best to Orpior from the eclipse. He was eight pounds below on time for him. He never really looked comfortable in the race. So I want your thoughts on that, Georgia, about whether or not York and the whole York experience, for some reason some horses just don't take to it.

Maybe he didn't.

But also from a rider's perspective, when you've got a pacemaker 30 links clear like that, can a race just completely unravel?

And what did you make of that race?

Because I found it deeply uncomfortable to watch.

Yeah, I think everybody was
