Request for help: anyone know how to watch Irish race replays for free on a site not linked to a bookie (eg Sporting Life).
Abroad so can’t access bookie sites - unless anyone can tell me a way round it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I use Racing TV website for a specific race (assume you mean this rather than just a general "highlights" package?) Easiest way to navigate (for me) is to go to a horse in the race and then find the race in their "form" and click the arrow at the end of their form line.

e.g. Galvin: https://www.racingtv.com/horses/galvin

See it includes yesterdays race and you can watch it back by clicking the arrow underneath the "replay" column.

You can also just navigate to the "results" page and watch via the link for each race.

I watch them on Racing T.v.. usually available about an hour after the race i think.
I go to Result's and there's 2 boxes to the right of each result.
Watch Finish and Watch full replay. :cupcake:.

They're usually up on there before the next race at the meeting starts :encouragement:
 
Appreciate Hunter Chase quotes in October won't be for everyone but David Christie with an update on Winged Leader and Vaucelet:


“Winged Leader has just started cantering and we are aiming for Down Royal at Christmas.

“We’ll then see how the springtime pans out. He’ll aim for either Cheltenham or Aintree.

***

“Vaucelet is a better stayer and a proper Foxhunter horse for Cheltenham. He’s come back in a lot stronger and will run in a point-to-point at Portrush on Saturday.

“He’s ground dependent and I wouldn’t want to run him on deep winter ground. Cheltenham will definitely be his main priority this year.

“Both horses have been brought up through the ranks and haven’t been plucked from Grade 1’s. They have earned their corn.

“It would be nice to win at Cheltenham after going so close last year but it’s not going to make me a man one way or the other.

“You just have to let it go and accept it — you might never win at Cheltenham but you keep trying.”

Thanks RTC, very informative and interesting. Does sound like they'll be split between Cheltenham and Aintree doesn't it, with Vaucelet his Cheltenham horse. He's also having a little go at the bigger trainers there.........hands off our cup !!

Either sex change operations cost way more these days or prize money in horseracing really has gone to shit.
 
MNH winner Love Envoi picked up a cut in a walker just after ?oming back in which needed a few staples. It's fully healed now with no complications and she has been back in full training since September. The Mares Hurdle is her target next March .

Does anyone know if the double green like to send horses to the Cheltenham bumper? I’m having a brain freeze and can’t remember any off the top of my head.

Recently, Lily Du Berlais is one that springs to mind. Impulsive Dancer too.

Should have been more clear - I meant the Cheltenham Bumper as opposed to just bumper horses in general.

Ah, misunderstood. I can’t recall any recently but that might be circumstance? Dark Raven perhaps the only one who looked good enough to compete and injury got in his way if I recall.
 
Exar Essay and @BigChaang: many thanks for the racing tv Irish racing tip (I thought it was a paid for service).
Also to others for commending vpns which have never been previously part of my life (bona fide dinosaur).
Fantastic, really grateful.
Been able to catch up on Galvin, Maine Nationale, Banbridge and Ash Tree Meadow.

They tend to have their bumper runners with Stuart Crawford and has he ever had a cheltenham runner?

Depends on your needs - I used to like TunnelBear Free for placing bets on holiday but it sucks now. NORD is the most famous but not necessarily best value. I'd say Google "best vpn UK reddit" and you'll get a pros/cons discussion of all of them cos it isn't a "this is the answer" question

I am told this works if you are abroad to access bookies sites
Turn off location and Wi-Fi on your phone
Turn on mobile Data
Worked for a mate of mine in Portugal
Hope it helps
