Foxtel Go is the only streaming platform for all 3 Sky Racing Channels. You need a TAB account to access them online

Sky Racing 1 and 2 will never go FTA in their current form being all VIC and SA races would have to be blacked out as RDC has the FTA rights to those states. I agree, the only possible FTA Sky Racing channel would be Thoroughbred Central as others have indicated on this forum.

Is Sky racing on Foxtel Now? (the streaming version) Or is the only streaming version still Sky active with the tab account?
No

It is - I have Foxtel Now and the three Sky Racing channels are available through that service.

I thought Bruce did covered the Melbourne Cup Carnival for Sky Channel for a few years until early 2002 when 10’s first run of the event was brought to an end but I saw somewhere that he was only a spectator at Flemington up until then starting in 1989-90.
That’s interesting, as Tabcorp owns the principal broadcast rights, therefore the Melbourne Cup carnival should also be shown live on Sky.
Any chance Sky Racing can go HD on Foxtel?

Doubtful as most likely Foxtel would seek extra cash from Tabcorp to do that.
Tbh nothing would surprise me at this point. The way things are now they could even drop the channels and put on the Sky active app.
The problem is when you stream racing it’s on delay so sometimes you can’t get your bet on.

Found another one called TrotsVision for Harness Racing Victoria. It also uses Sky Racing graphics from a couple of generations ago.
