Horse racing live streams

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm looking for recommendations on horse racing live streams.
If I search around on Google then Racing UK keeps popping up.
It seems a bit pricey but I don't mind that if it works well.
I'm in Belgium and would like to watch live UK racing (for trading on exchanges) and possibly some US racing.
I will be watching on desktop pc.
Thanks in advance :-)

AtTheRaces is £9.99 per month on desktop I believe

You get the races from the US each night, plus Australia too as well as the courses from the UK that are not with Racing UK.
Next year this is going to be changed to Sky Sports Racing.

Racing UK is very good but its over £20 per month to subscribe. Be careful though because anyone who gets Racing UK on Virgin cant watch it live on the PC version or even the replays. This may also be the same for other networks.
I can watch it online but only through VirginTV. 

(I think you can watch racing via some other devices, try searching ex-pat tv for example)

So ATR covers all UK racing but Racing UK doesn't cover all the UK courses?
Think I'd rather use a vpn with ATR then.
I've been using the william hill radio commentary as well but I have no idea whether there's a big delay or not.

 

Since I don't personally use either, I couldn't confirm if ATR covers all live UK races (they may actually only have the rights to the remaining 23 courses). Probably best to email ATR to clarify.

I am aware though from reading some RP articles that ATR will not be able broadcast live Irish races from the beginning of 2019.

 

Update

Just found this on the ATR site

So basically if you want coverage of all UK courses you'd have to subscribe to both, because for example Ayr, Catterick, Newmarket and Newbury are not on the ATR list. Though ATR's coverage is pretty comprehensive to be fair.
How naive of me, I thought there'd be a number of options available with full coverage haha

Betfair live stream would be fine but i can't use Betfair from Belgium.
I use Orbit exchange through an agent but there's no stream as far as I'm aware of.
Guess I'll look around for decent radio options first, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the tip on the delays, I thought as much.
I just looked for IPTV in Belgium but all the sites offering it look a bit shady and their business addresses are mostly home addresses on Google maps. Also lots of news reports on Google about IPTV companies getting shut down here so it's probably banned in Belgium.

I don't know why you can't send me a message, I can't see anything in settings to change this, although I see I'm a "restricted member", don't really know what that means...
