Does anyone know why the Horse Races Now app is no longer working for many tracks? Are there any other free apps or websites where I can view race replays?
Hi, we are having an issue with the main distributor of racing content, Roberts Communications Network. Read this link to get a better picture of this issue: http://xwebapp.ustrotting.com/absolutenm/templates/article.aspx?articleid=72988&zoneid=63
We are trying to reach a resolution as quickly as possible. RCN has put up constant barriers for us, even though we pay a monthly fee for access to video for tracks who have given us their permission to include them on HRN. Interesting to know that RCN owns RTN, Racing Televison Network, which is a subscription based way to have live racing and replays. At HRN, we are trying to bring more fans into racing, so we really don’t want to charge for a product that has little value at this time. I hope everyone who has enjoyed the app will let the racetracks know what a great service we provide. We try to make money through advertisements. RCN wanted to triple the amount we were paying them. It’s been a battle. I apologize for the inconvenience, and if there is any change I will post on our Horse Races Now Facebook page, I will send a tweet, and if you are on our email list we will send out an email to all. You can get a daily news report for racing by going to our website, www.horseracesnow.com ON YOUR COMPUTER and sign up. That way we will also be able to email you any changes.
As for any free sites to watch the races, unless you have an ADW account with someone like BetAmerica (I recommend) or TwinsSpires (they do not support us, but you can join if you like) it’s difficult. Some racetracks show their live racing and replays on their own websites, but not all.
Thanks for downloading HRN!!!
