Where do you folks watch this stuff?
>>154286673sometimes tv sometimes online sometimes not sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjMp5T0fgaI
>>154286673Depends, usually there is a stream on youtube or some other platform
>>154286673https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvQ9dVxLk34
>>154286673https://kick.com/b01doghos
>>154286673I have an account with one of the online racebooks and can watch streams of most races. I’m not sure if what options you’d have in your country.
If I bought a race horse I'd name it Supper Club Sundae.
>>154286250Horse's themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcQ9gXmbsW4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WUnGg2CoUMKeeneland in Kentucky is also up.
I have both Keeneland and Tampa Bay open in the background and I keep wondering if the stream stopped because there's huge periods where they don't say anything and there's no background sounds or anything. I'm too used to the NY Races where they are constantly yapping.
>>154289653NYRA covers several tracks across the country and are basically sports commentators that are there in case they do go on live TV.
>>154286739Princess Britni and Nashville Slew with a nice finish
Finally a race with some amusing names
>>154290015>Man in the Can
>>154290015You've heard of elf in a shelf now get ready for
>>154289653>>154289739Most track feeds are bare bones track feeds designed to be watched at the track bar/simulcast facility/OTB parlor.They typically have silence except for when the race is running and usually a short pre-race commentary section from the paddock reporter usually about 15 mins before the race. Some will have commentary over the post parade. Also at the beginning of the day they will have the track's talking heads give a rundown of the days races and their picks for the upcoming races, as well as the days scratches and updates.Usually because these are being watched at places that have dozens of tvs all tuned to different racetracks.The NYRA stream is designed as a TV show for the FS1/FS2 channels, which is why it has so much more commentary and much less dead air.
I'm not trying to sound racist, but is there any advantage to horses having their tails long instead of cropped or cut short? It seems like a shorter tail might be more aerodynamic.
>all these fucking scratches
>>154291326*scratches in your path*
I'm going to shill this Japanese horse drama because it's a really good show if you love the bloodline aspect of the sport. It's also good, if dramatized, look into every aspect of a horse's career from the breeding, the training, the jockeys, the stable staff, the races, to the drama between the owners.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kje2c24r9xQI think it's Passing the Reins on netflix.
>>154298805is it like Drive to Survive or is it actually more true to source
>>154298805lmao my jap wife was literally watching this slop yesterday
>>154291326A lot of times when there's a bunch of scratches in the high teens digits those are "also eligibles" - horses that will only enter the race if other horses scratch. Most american races aren't run with more than 12 horses, the kentucky derby being a notable exception with its 20 horse field.
>Sovereignty to the Stephen FosterMagnitude do your thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABHhUSU3kIM Does this count for horse sports?
What's it like for trainers and horses that dont measure up to G1 contenders but are out there doing regionals or X-number-of-wins type races?
>>154300655Depends on what you specifically mean. In terms of their goals, standings among peers or something else entirely?
Does anyone use a database of some sort to get data on the horses? Such as their past performance, trainer etc.
>>154301140for jp horses usehttps://en.netkeiba.com/orhttps://umanity.jp/en/orhttps://www.jbis.jp/for other countries I think https://www.equibase.com/ is the best
Hell yeah>>154299925>Does this count for horse sports?HELL YES.
>>154299925gieb timestamps
>>154301140for japanese horses, a lot of really good information is surprisingly free... for eu and usa, fuckton under paywall
>>154299277I've never seen Drive to Survive, but the character drama is heavily dramatized. The horse racing aspect is generally accurate though, which is to be expected since it's sponsored by the JRA themselves.
>>154301798>for eu and usa, fuckton under paywallYou can get most stuff except for detailed past performances (pic related) for free. You usually either have to pay directly or indirectly (by betting) for the past performance info.
>>154301800DtS will take events and put them out of order and heavily rely on editing to tell the story they want to tell instead of what actually happened during that F1 season
Racing from Parx starts in 10 minutes! Will anyone be watching these horsies? There's also Britbong racing.
>>154303076Track conditions are FAST
Posting in Blessed BreadHORSES AN ATHLETES!
My first pick stunk so bad that I will NOT be watching any more racing from Parx today.Are there any good books to read about horse racing? More like history books, not "how to bet" type books.
>>154302060for races that have certain trainers in them or progeny of certain sires you can also get free pps, but they aren't organized in a way that its easy to find the race you want.there used to be a site called whobet that compiled all that stuff but all the providers started blocking links from his site.
>>154301140aside from what has been mentioned, the Hong Kong Jockey Club has the best and most information available anywhere for free. https://racing.hkjc.com/en-us/local/information/localresults

>>154304283>>154301798>>154301150Thank you
>>154305433no problem, hope you will be here for this year's L'Arc
>>154305448isn't L'Arc wayyyy deep in the year tho
>>154305448Redpill me on L'Arc
Has anyone here watched harness racing? It's the only type of racing at the track closest to where I live. Even if I admittedly don't think it's exciting as flat racing, it's fine in its own way.
>>154305462yeah, its usually at the beginning of october>>154305470Arguably the most prestigious turf race in the world (Or at least one of top turf races, though due to the overall decline of European racing its status has been declining somewhat), Japanese horses have attempted the race dozens of times (first time by Speed Symboli in 1969) but are yet to win the race (there is a joke that the French use their druids to summon rain and turn the turf into a swamp and that's why JP horses can't win)Here is a video of The Japanese Triple Crown winner Orfevre racing in L'Arc in 2012https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kluttGunQc

>>154305585>stupid goober afraid of his own shitI had a boss who was not a native English speaker who thought the phrase was "scared of shit" instead of "scared as shit" and gave a very bizarre speech at a meeting
>>154304283>There are even more ways to ruin yourself beside TrifectaMan, these Chinks are fucking serious in making sure you are completely broke when leaving the race trackThe JRA needs to learn this secret
>>154305540>Has anyone here watched harness racing?I used to live half an hour from a harness track and never went :(
>>154305540I watched a bit once, it's less fun than it sounds in my opinion
>>154305540>>154308486It's decent but there is less horses involved in the races and it's weird watching horses going at a weird gait compared to how they usually run. It's more fun to do than watch.
is an horse an athlete?
