  • Cheltenham Shockwaves: Old Park Star Supreme Favourite, Il Etait Temps Falls, Jonbon Bounces Back!
    Jan 19 2026
    The Cheltenham picture shifted dramatically this weekend, and The Final Furlong Podcast is here to break it all down. Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jaime Wrenn review the key talking points from a crucial weekend of racing, with Cheltenham Festival implications everywhere you look. 🟥 OLD PARK STAR — SUPREME FAVOURITE EMERGES We start at Haydock, where Old Park Star delivered an explosive performance to become Supreme Novice Hurdle favourite with 1xBet. The parallels are striking: Same race, Same trainer, & Same path as Jonbon, before his Festival duel with Constitution Hill Is 9/4 actually too big for the opening race of Cheltenham 2026? Or has the market already overreacted? 🟦 JONBON RETURNS — AND IL ETAIT TEMPS FALLS At Ascot, Jonbon roared back to form with his 11th Grade 1 and back-to-back wins in the Clarence House Chase. We ask: Where does JP’s gelding go next? Is his Champion Chase challenge back on track? And what now for Il Etait Temps, once favourite for the Queen Mother, now 8/1 after a heavy fall? 🟩 PROTEKTORAT, WINDSOR & RACING LOGIC We pay tribute to Protektorat, now a millionaire after back-to-back Fleur de Lys Chase wins — a modern jumps stalwart. But we also question: The logic of running jumps racing at Windsor. What it says about fixture planning and priorities 🟨 FESTIVAL PROSPECTS — WHO’S COMING, WHO’S NOT Eachtotheirown: handicap debut winner — can he mix it in Grade 1 company? Mighty Park: sensational hurdles debut — Grade 1 this season? Espresso Milan: Potato Race contender or hard pass? Strong opinions. No fence-sitting. 🟪 NOVICE CHASERS & HORSES TO FOLLOW Salver wins another graded novice — but the real takeaway might be behind him. We explain why: Wade Out, Jeriko Du Reponet, & Moon Rocket are horses you want firmly on side for the Spring Festivals. Plus, Adam and Jaime each give their horses to follow from the weekend. 🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland.

  • Cheltenham Festival Novice Hurdlers: Is No Drama This End the Real Deal? Value Plays & Dark Horses
    Jan 14 2026
    It’s Novice Hurdlers Week on The Final Furlong Podcast as Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jamie Wrenn take a forensic look at the horses lining up for the three other major Cheltenham Festival novice hurdles: • Turners Novices’ Hurdle• Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle• Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle And we start with the big question… is No Drama This End the right favourite at 7/2, or is the Paul Nicholls buzz horse there to be taken on? The boys debate whether the market has this one right - or whether one of the improvers can mow him down come March. 🟩 RUNNERS DISCUSSED - CONTENDERS, RISERS & SLEEPERS Turners & Bartlett potentials: Skylight Hustle, Ill Sort That, Sober, Sortudo, Doctor Du Mesnil, Idaho Sun, Lazare De Star, Act Of Innocence, The Reverend, Doctor Steinberg, You Proof Mares’ Novice challengers: Bambino Fever, Oldschool Outlaw, La Conquiere, Larinka, Place De La Nation Form lines, ground angles, staying power, trainer intent -every profile gets tested. 🟦 BIG QUESTIONS ANSWERED • Should you take 7/2 about No Drama This End — or lay him all day?• Which novices are improving faster than the market admits?• Who’s likely to shorten between now and Trials Day?• Which festival-only horses the team are most excited about? One panellist has a “bet before they run again” pick…and another flags a horse who could be half his current price come March.

  • Harry Cobden to JP: What It Means & Who Loses Out + Early Thoughts on the Supreme Novice Contenders
    Jan 12 2026
    A seismic move shakes up National Hunt racing - and we’re here to unpack every angle. On this week’s Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jamie Wrenn react to the news that Harry Cobden will become JP McManus’ retained rider in the UK and Ireland from May. This is a power shift with huge implications - and the shockwaves stretch from Champion Hurdle favourites to handicap plotters. 🟩 HARRY COBDEN + JP McMANUS - THE FALLOUT We break down what Cobden’s move means for: JP McManus’ powerhouse squad Harry Skelton - does he keep the ride on The New Lion Paul Nicholls - suddenly without his long-term No. 1 Mark Walsh - what does this mean for the Gold Cup winning jockey? Future ride allocations across the spring and Festivals This is a reshuffle with winners and losers - and we name them. 🟥 SUPREME NOVICE HURDLE - THE MOST OPEN IN YEARS Then we pivot to one of the most interesting betting puzzles of the season - the 2026 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. Two last-time-out fallers sit in the top three in the market -and the division might not be anywhere near settled. The team dissect the leading players:El Cairos • Old Park Star • Talk The Talk • Mydaddypaddy • Mossy Fen Road • Idaho Sun • Skylight Hustle • Hurricane Pat • Baron Noir • Ballyfad 🟦 WHO IS WILLIE MULLINS’ SUPREME HORSE? We debate the potential No. 1 from the Closutton battalion:The Reverend • Davy Crockett • King Rasko Grey • Sortudo • Fou De Toi (the plunge horse) A bold claim is made on which one will line up - and which won’t. 🟨 LONGSHOTS + MARKET MISTAKES Adam nominates a 50/1 shot he believes ran huge last time Jamie says the layers have a 33/1 horse completely wrong Do you agree - or are they reading too much into weak form? 🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland More than 7,000 daily events, fast withdrawals & new customer specials 👉 https://cutt.ly/0r7bzDoH 18+.

  • Christmas Novice Chasers Review: Final Demand, Romeo Coolio, Kitzbuhel, The Big Westerner & More
    Jan 6 2026
    Novice chasers stole the show over Christmas - and now we need to separate hype from hard truth. On this week’s Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jamie Wrenn break down the headline performances from Kempton, Leopardstown, Punchestown, and Limerick — and what they could mean for Cheltenham Festival 2026. Data-led, opinionated, and packed with value angles, this is the ultimate festive novice chase review. 🟥 COULD THE BROWN ADVISORY BE AN ALL-TIME RACE? The panel debate whether we’re heading into a stacked Brown Advisory, featuring: Final Demand — Grade 1 winner, imperious at Limerick Kitzbuhel — Kauto Star winner gaining momentum Koktail Divin — impressive winner of a race with a strong role of honour The Big Westerner — serious engine, slick jumper Romeo Coolio — unbeaten, but does he need further? And the big question:Will Gordon Elliott step Romeo Coolio up in trip at Cheltenham? 🟦 IS THERE A BANKER FOR THE MARES CHASE? One member of the team thinks there is. 🟩 THE ARKLE DEBATE: VALUE VS SPEED There’s a hot row over a 10/1 Arkle contender: One panellist thinks the market is wrong Another says she’ll get found out at Grade 1 level. Who’s right? 🟨 THE 50/1 OUTSIDER Adam Mills drops a 50/1 Festival bomb he believes is massively overpriced. Everyone else calls him crazy.
