"Deserve's Got Nothing To Do With It": Cheltenham Championship Races Review with Lizzie Kelly

Fortune favours the bold as Golden Ace shocks the racing world, claiming Champion Hurdle glory amidst chaos at Cheltenham Festival 2025. Multiple Festival-winning jockey and TalkSPORT pundit Lizzie Kelly, along with TPD racing analyst Adam Mills, join Emmet Kennedy to dissect an extraordinary Champion Hurdle—including State Man’s dramatic last-flight fall, Brighterdaysahead’s unexpected flop, and Lizzie’s compelling argument about the real legacy of Constitution Hill. We break down Lossiemouth’s classy back-to-back Mares' Hurdle victories, Bob Olinger’s Festival hat-trick and remarkable defeat of reigning champion Teahupoo in the Stayers’ Hurdle, and question whether Jonbon’s Festival dreams are officially over after defeat to Marine Nationale in the Champion Chase. Adam makes a bold, data-driven prediction for Fact To File’s future that could stun listeners, while we discuss Inothewayurthinkin’s intriguing odds for the Grand National. Finally, we debate if Galopin Des Champs can emulate the legendary Kauto Star and reclaim Gold Cup glory. Insight, debate, and bold takes—this is the definitive Cheltenham championship races breakdown. The Final Furlong Podcast is proudly brought to you by Geoff Banks Bet.
