The legendary trainer — already joint second-winningmost in Breeders’ Cup history — talks through his squad with trademark insight, from precocious two-year-olds to battle-hardened stars: • Juvenile Turf Sprint: True Love and Mission Central — can O’Brien strike again with two No Nay Nevers?• Juvenile Fillies Turf: Precise chases a fifth straight win after Group 1 domination — could she be another Minding?• Juvenile Turf: Gstaad aims to give Ballydoyle their fourth consecutive win in this race.• Breeders’ Cup Turf: Minnie Hauk, the four-time Oaks heroine, seeks glory at Del Mar after her Arc near-miss.• Breeders’ Cup Mile: The Lion in Winter looks to break through at the top level.• Filly & Mare Turf: Bedtime Story looks to crown a remarkable season for her sire Frankel. O’Brien reflects on maintaining Group 1 excellence across generations, the art of keeping elite older horses like Kyprios thriving, and why Christophe Soumillon could be key to another Breeders’ Cup masterclass. With 23 Group 1 wins already, and with strong chances in six Grade 1 races at Del Mar and Hong Kong still to come, could 2025 be Aidan O’Brien’s greatest ever season? 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.📺 Watch the full interview on YouTube.👉 Tune in for expert insight, data-driven picks, and smart value angles. 💰 Join 1xBet Ireland today and get €30 in free bets when you place a €10 wager.👉 18+ | T&Cs apply | Play responsibly🎁 Loss Refund Bet: Get a free bet back on losing wagers.🔗 ⁠⁠https://1xbet.ie⁠ 🔗 The Final Furlong Podcast — intelligent racing conversation with humour, insight, and edge. ⚡ Proven Form: winners tipped recently at 20/1, 16/1, 14/1, 12/1, and 10/1.🎯 Smart betting meets trusted expertise — only on The Final Furlong Podcast.👍 Likes appreciated! ⚡ Proven Form: Winners tipped recently at 20/1, 16/1, 14/1, 12/1, and 10/1.🎯 Smart betting meets trusted expertise — only on The Final Furlong Podcast.👍 Likes appreciated!
