Epsom Insights & Belmont Bets: Martin Dwyer’s Derby, Oaks Breakdown + 3 Saratoga G1 Bankers

This is your essential Derby and Belmont betting guide.

Final Furlong Podcast host Emmet Kennedy is joined by Martin Dwyer, Classic-winning jockey and Racing TV pundit, to preview all three Group 1s at Epsom. The man who rode Sir Percy to Derby glory in 2006 breaks down the Betfred Derby, Oaks, and Coronation Cup with a focus on:



Track craft: how to handle the camber, undulations, and unique challenge of Epsom




Draw and pace bias: what stall positions and running styles will matter




Contender breakdowns: including Delacroix, Ruling Court, Pride Of Arras, Lambourn, The Lion In Winter, and more




Why Desert Flower may be vulnerable in the Oaks




A glowing gallop report from a jockey very bullish on a double-digit price




Whether Martin thinks Calandagan is a Coronation Cup banker or beatable




Then we shift across the Atlantic for the 157th Belmont Stakes at Saratoga.

After tipping a 38/1 exacta and 79/1 trifecta in the Preakness, Ryan Anderson and Charlie Freeman return with more Grade 1 ammo:



Trifecta picks for the Belmont featuring Sovereignty, Journalism, and Baeza




A banker exacta play on the undercard




Two Saturday wagers to start the day with a bang




It's elite insight from both sides of the pond, smart betting angles, and full Group 1 coverage.
