Illegitimi non carborundum
ATR is obviously very good as even non members can view their replays and as DO says the Jockey Club cover some courses but not all that RUK cover........The Racing Post is anything but free..replays are only available to their rip off members club
Betfair are probably as good if not better than most. If you have an account even if not in funds they show all the replays for the days up and coming races
Other sometimes useful items. UKTVNOW and MODBRO stream both ATR and RUK free but with some 3 mins or so delay...you can download from their websites not from store

@DO, there was a hack couple of months ago and you could watch every race transmitted on RUK, free on the jockey club site. Its gone now unfortunately but I'm glad RP reintroduced the replays, that was the main reason I quit their service. It made life much easier.
Thank you.......but lets get one thing clear...if we are breaking any laws..........you take the fall

That's true Reet but my reply didn't quite come across right.
I pay for the iPad newspaper app and RUK regardless so there's nothing the Ultimate RP package (which you need to watch videos on the website) could give me extra. For the ATR races not on RUK I use the excellent ATR app.
If I didn't have the iPad newspaper I'd probably subscribe to RP Ultimate for other features and as a result I'd use the RP website then for replays as I wouldn't have to switch between RUK and the ATR app.
If I didn't want to pay for any of it then yes, I'd use the SL.

@pdleech I checked twinspires.com and was only available with an US IP, probably an useful resource without going through a VPN as that slows it down. For an international live version there's cricfree but very hard to watch on Saturdays when there's high activity.
Oddschecker just changed their set up........was magic before now it looks crap

I actually bought the paper today.
Will let you know how it goes.

Finished it.
There is literally nothing in it apart from Down's column. Here are the highlights:
1. Bar staff at racecourses are generally over-worked and under-paid (no sh*it?)
2. Ladbrokes might add new races to Newbury Festival next year (that's interesting)
3. Harry Fry looks younger than his years (insightful)
4. Harry Fry is to be commended for not offering excuses for American's poor Hennessy run, though no parallel is drawn against the latest flannel from Charles Hawtrey (sorry, Mark Bradstock) about Coneygree.
5. Wagamama is a restaurant.
£2.40 it cost me to find all this out.
FFS.

It's comforting to hear that it's improved since the last time I bought it.
To be fair Grass you missed (or may have been bored by this point);
- Update on Coney Island (Lexus the target for those that haven't seen it)
- Story about WTD giving up riding to take out a trainer license
- Chris McGrath winning the horseracing writer of the year for the third time. Though in your defence I imagine you'd have stopped reading after the opening "Racing Post Bloodstock..."
- Hannon doing his best to acquire Nicky's "Needle" moniker. Another flat story
- Townend looking forward to Douvan ride - quell surprise FFS (and front page too)
- Build up to the Hong Kong & Pegasus World cups - Though can see why you wouldn't give a rat's ar5e there.
Admittedly it wasn't the best of editions - and some of that can be read on the website for free - but it is a Tuesday with racing at Southwell, Lingfield and Wolves.

The Coney bit was the only scrap of interest in the entire rag. Even Townend's stuff was a page-and-a-half of nothing.
The rest of it is utter, utter, utter, utter bollocks.

There are exceptions, such as the Monday Jury section and the odd opportunity for Segal to f*ck up the ante post price on that long range selection you've been mulling over but I grant you, in the main it's pretty tepid stuff outside of the weekend and big meetings.
If I didn't spend an hour of my day on the train I wouldn't bother myself.
