In a Final Furlong Podcast exclusive Emmet Kennedy chats to Josh Christian, Vice President of Racing for the Breeders Cup who gives us unique insight into this years prestigious meeting, which due to COVID19 will be held behind closed doors. He talks about the preparations at Keenland, the fact the prize money will be the same as last year and the major British, Irish and European Trainers who are already committing to sending some of their stars to one of the most famous race-meetings of the year and the importance of the Win and Your In races this week at Paris Longchamp. Plus, Josh picks out the Breeders Cup Classic winner for us! Remember you can watch every Breeders Cup race live and exclusive only on SKY Sports Racing and NBC. Then Emmet sits down with the Director of Marketing at Tattersalls Jimmy George, who is preparing for the October Yearling Sale with Book One starting on Tuesday the 6th of October. Over 500 yearlings are catalogued for Europes premier yearling sale, including progeny of elite stallions Galileo, Frankel and Dubawi. Jimmy also talks openly about the huge importance sales have of the Racing industry, the influence of overseas investors and the emphasis on speed in breeding and whether this is something that needs to be reconsidered longterm for the industry. All this and so much more fascinating insight from Jimmy for Bloodstock enthusiasts and industry members alike.
