Is there a Internet site worth watching races on?

We have a horse racing Tuesday. The track is too far for us to drive during a work day.
Is there a good internet site to watch from that does not have too bad of a delay?

Not sure where you are, but calracing.com normally has a good live video site. It wasn't working for the past two weeks, but they assured me it is fixed now. They show GGF and Hol live, and you can see race replays from many tracks if you just search by the horse's name. It does require signup.

It does depend which track you want to view, but I use RaceReplays.com -- it has a lot of tracks and is reasonably quick. You can also get videos on Equibase.com and some of the betting sites.

Good luck.

For Cal racing I use calracing.com. I have an account with youbet.com and like their video platform.

The only complaint I have is the streaming video is choppy about 30% of the time. I have plenty of dsl speed but it never seems to stream smoothly for any length of time.
