The FINAL FURLONG PODCAST team returns this week to discuss the highlights of ITV Racing on Saturday, September 19th, 2026. Hosted by the insightful Emmet Kennedy, the crew delivers expert analysis on the top horse races happening at Ayr and Newbury this weekend.
Joining Kennedy are renowned horse racing tipster and trends specialist Andy Newton, former jockey George Gorman, and respected punter Jaime Wrenn. Together, they share their top betting selections for the live ITV coverage from Ayr and Newbury.
At Newbury, one of the standout races is the Mill Reef Stakes, running this year in tribute to Ian Balding—a two-time winner and trainer of Mill Reef. His son, Andrew Balding, is entering Jolivette, a fitting contender for victory.
Meanwhile, at Ayr, it’s Gold Cup day, and all eyes are on last year’s champion, Run Boy Run, as he aims to become the first back-to-back winner since the 1930s.
Listeners can access their expert insights and Saturday’s racing tips for free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or watch the discussion on YouTube. Below, you’ll find the full rundown of races covered by the podcast on September 19th.
