In this electrifying episode of the Final Furlong Podcast, hosts Emmet Kennedy and Abbie MacGregor unpack a storm brewing over British racing. As the winds of change blow, they delve into the potential seismic shifts under a Labour government, the uproar over a new solar farm in Newmarket, and the battle lines being drawn in environmental and media landscapes. From political gamesmanship to the stark realities of climate change debates, no topic is off-limits in this deep dive into the future of British racing and the controversies shaping it.
Key Discussions:
