How would i find a video of a specific horse race?

Question

I have a retired race horse, and i would like to know if there is a place where i could find a video or something of one of the races that he raced in. Are those kind of things recorded somewhere, or on record?

Answer 1

Youtube.com. It has every video you could want, and some that you might not!

Answer 2

TAB website, it you live in AUS or NZ

Answer 3

Your best bet is to contact the race course where the race took place a request a copy from their video archive.

Answer 4

You've come to the right place!  youtube.com has EVERYTHING you can think of!  You just go to the top right hand corner, type in search and click go.  Your computer will do the rest.

Answer 5

The race tracks where he raced probably have video archives of all their races. Try calling one of them. Keeneland has their major stakes races online, I'm not sure how many other tracks keep them online.

Answer 6

YouTube has most of the Stakes Races. It depends on what people put on there  The best thing I find about watching races on YouTube is that there is at least  one user (Kitan1) who gets footage from before and after the race so you get to see the horses going into the starting gate and watch all the way to the winner's circle.  But, I like to watch every race that Edgar Prado rides in (some of them are small claiming races) so I subscribe to a service on www.drf.com (the Daily Racing Form). For a reasonable fee, I can watch any race from most U.S. tracks the same day as the race (I'm not sure how many minutes or hours before the race gets on there).  So, every night, instead of just checking out the results at Belmont, Acqueduct, Saratoga or wherever else Prado is riding, I watch the race and set it so I can't see the results until it's over.  That makes it very suspenseful.  But, for the big races, you can usually find them for free on YouTube or even the website of the track they were at.  However, I don't know how far back they archive the races. If your horse has been retired for a long time, you may have to do what LolaC and Racehorsegal suggested and contact the track(s) he raced at to see if they maintain video archives.
