Epsom Classics Countdown: Derby & Oaks Contenders | 33/1 Shot and a 1000/1 Double?

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.
