Horse Racing on Foxtel
One option to watch all the available Horse Racing events is with Foxtel or Foxtel Now. The Foxtel Now streaming service offers access to all the sport on Foxtel via their Sports Pack. That means that you get access to all the live and on-demand sports Foxtel has to offer, including Horse Racing and the other leagues, matches and events taking place for that month.
To start you can check it out with a 10-day free trial, after which you will need to pay for both the Sports Pack and the Essentials Pack, as the two products come as a team. In addition to being internet-connected, Foxtel Now also includes the option to stream live sports using the Foxtel Go app when you’re away from home.
