Royal Ascot Review: Is Field of Gold Unbeatable? O’Brien’s Five-Star Juveniles & the Rise of Lazzat

The Final Furlong Podcast

🎧 Final Furlong Podcast – Royal Ascot 2025 Review

After tipping big-priced winners and tracking the key stories all week, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Laura Joy, Adam Mills, George Gorman, and legendary bookmaker Gary Wiltshire for a full debrief on a spectacular Royal Ascot.

👑 Field Of Gold’s demolition job in the St James’s Palace Stakes stole the show — but is there any horse in Europe who can stop him over a mile? We weigh in on future targets and whether Ruling Court or Henri Matisse can close the gap.

🐎 Cercene crushed Zarigana in the Coronation Stakes — but what’s the truth behind the French filly’s form and… behaviour?

🏇 Docklands struck early in the Queen Anne — but was he really the best horse in the race? And what now for Rosallion, Notable Speech & Lake Forest?

🔥 Middle-distance stars emerge:

• Ombudsman rises in a blistering Prince of Wales’s

• Rebel’s Romance proves he’s not done yet in the Hardwicke

• Trawlerman grinds out Gold Cup glory — but is the division weak?

🌪️ The Sprinter Shakeup:
British & Irish sprinters flopped again. Can Lazzat rule the sprint scene in Europe? Was American Affair a fluke — or the real deal?

👶 Juvenile Watch:

• Gstaad gives Aidan O’Brien his 11th Coventry win

• Charles Darwin smashes RPR records in the Norfolk – Nunthorpe next?

• True Love gives O’Brien a first Queen Mary win

• Venetian Sun dazzles for Karl Burke in the Albany

• Chesham winner Humidity looks a classic type
