    RaceiQ Champions Day Special | Laura Joy's Ascot Analysis & 10/1 Bet

    What can the data tell us that the form book doesn't? Emmet Kennedy is joined by RaceiQ's lead analyst Laura Joy for a special edition of the Final Furlong Podcast, examining all seven races on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot. 🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland. More than 7,000 events per day, fast withdrawals & new customer specials. Bet €10 and get €48 when you use Promo Code 1XEMMET20 👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/0r7bzDoH ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠18+. T&Cs apply. Gamble responsibly. Your game. Your odds. Your 1xBet. Using stride length, cadence, acceleration, sectional times, finishing speed and draw bias, Laura examines the numbers behind the leading contenders, identifies potentially vulnerable favourites and explores where the betting value might lie. 12:55 | TWO-YEAR-OLD CONDITIONS STAKES Can Night In Vegas continue his winning sequence, or do the speed figures favour Arapaho Gold? RaceiQ examines the juveniles' acceleration, finishing speed and the significance of their previous meetings. 13:30 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS LONG DISTANCE CUP (GROUP 1) Progressive Ebor winner Daiquiri Bay steps into Group 1 company. But it's a horse who he beat in the Ebor that intrigues Laura with impressive sectionals suggest he could be a serious contender, but will the step up to two miles suit? 14:05 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS SPRINT STAKES (GROUP 1) Almeraq is the horse to beat, but does the data suggest he's vulnerable on quicker ground? Laura examines his acceleration and finishing-speed figures, while putting forward a fascinating alternative. 14:40 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS FILLIES & MARES STAKES (GROUP 1) Kalpana bids for a third consecutive victory, but could stall one, a stronger pace and her demanding Yorkshire Oaks performance leave her vulnerable? RaceiQ examines the potential draw disadvantage and whether Lilt could improve significantly over a mile and a half. 15:20 | QUEEN ELIZABETH II STAKES (GROUP 1) Gstaad faces a fascinating tactical challenge against Talk Of New York, whose Joel Stakes victory produced exceptional speed figures. 16:00 | CHAMPION STAKES (GROUP 1) Calandagan versus Ombudsman. A rematch between two outstanding middle-distance performers. RaceiQ breaks down last year's Champion Stakes sectionals to reveal where Calandagan gained the decisive advantage, what Ombudsman must do differently and how Bay City Roller, Almaqam and Constitution River compare. 16:35 | BALMORAL HANDICAP Could Gavriel be particularly well suited by dropping back to a mile? His remarkable stride-frequency figures suggest there may be more improvement to come, while the draw and pace analysis could prove crucial in this competitive handicap. LAURA JOY'S RACEIQ VERDICTS We finish with the key questions ahead of British Champions Day: Most Likely Winner: Which horse has the strongest RaceiQ profile? Vulnerable Favourite: Which market leader has questions to answer? Best Value Outsider: Where could the bookmakers have underestimated a contender? Best Bet: Laura's standout selection for Champions Day. LISTEN NOW Seven races, five Group 1s and a fascinating insight into the science behind elite racehorse performance.

    Five Group 1 races, some of the biggest names in Flat racing and a £1.3 million Champion Stakes headline a spectacular British Champions Day at Ascot. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, George Gorman, Peter Michael and Jaime Wrenn on the Final Furlong Podcast to preview all seven races, assess the favourites, identify the best betting value and reveal their selections for one of the biggest Saturdays of the season.

The panel put forward outsiders at 33/1 and 66/1. 14:40 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS FILLIES & MARES STAKES (GROUP 1) Kalpana targets a remarkable third consecutive victory, with Lilt, Sparan Nua, Irish Oaks winner Johanna Walsh and Inis Mor among the challengers. 15:20 | QUEEN ELIZABETH II STAKES (GROUP 1) Talk Of New York heads the betting, but Gstaad is strongly fancied by members of the panel as one of the day's best bets. Zavatari, Zeus Olympios and Ten Bob Tony also come under scrutiny. 16:00 | CHAMPION STAKES (GROUP 1) Six runners. £1.3 million in prize money. A heavyweight rematch between defending champion Calandagan and Ombudsman. Arc runner-up Bay City Roller, dual Group 1 winner Constitution River and Almaqam add further intrigue to a fascinating renewal. 16:35 | BALMORAL HANDICAP The traditional Champions Day finale presents another major betting puzzle, with the panel identifying potential value at 28/1 and 18/1.

Can anything stop her at Newmarket? 🇫🇷 LONGCHAMP GROUP 1s Scandinavia is odds-on for the Prix du Cadran, but can George Scott’s Caballo De Mar cause an upset? There could also be value in the Prix de Royallieu, where one member of the panel makes a 16/1 shot one of his best bets of the weekend. 💰 SATURDAY’S BEST BETS At Ascot, three of the panel are keen on Plage De Havre in the Cumberland Lodge, although George has his reservations. There’s also a strong 8/1 fancy in the Challenge Cup, while another member of the team believes favourite Thunder Call could be a Group horse in a handicap. 🎡 THE SPRINT WHEEL OF MADNESS RETURNS And not once, but twice. The wheel tackles Ascot’s Rous Stakes before returning for the Bengough Stakes, where the panel are divided over Division and Prince Of India. Plus, Night In Vegas goes chasing another lucrative sales-race success at Newmarket, Revels tackles the Redcar Two Year Old Trophy and Witness Stand drops in class in search of his first win of the season. 1xBet social media pages: Х: https://x.com/1xbet_ireland Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1xbet.ie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1xbet.ie LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/1xbet-ireland/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@1xBet_Ireland 📊RaceMetrics - UK & Irish racing analytics from Proform Racing (est. 1995).
