Australians are passionate about horse racing and the country is home to one of the world's greatest races, the Melbourne Cup. Despite this, Australian bookmakers have not live streamed horse racing in the same way that British and Irish bookies like Paddy Power and Bet365 have. The good new is SportsBet, the premier Australian betting site, is now live streaming horse racing from Australian racetracks to iPhone, Android, Windows Phone and iPad. Here's what we know so far about the new service. SPORTSBET AUSTRALIAN RACING - WWW.SPORTSBET.COM.AU Watch live horse racing from racecourses in Victoria from your phone, desktop or laptop. Live streams are free providing you have a funded account with SporstBet. You DO NOT need to place a bet on an individual race to watch it. Watch live horse race from Victorian racecourses such as Bairnsdale, Ballarat, Caulfield, Flemington, Geelong, Horsham, Moonee Valley, Mornington, Pakenham, Sale, Sandown, Seymour, Swan Hill, Wangaratta SportsBet Mobile will work on any iPhone, Windows Phone (Nokia or Microsoft Lumia) or Android (Samsung Galaxy, HTC, Google Nexus, Sony Xperia, LG and more).
can i watch these australian horse races live from dublin in ireland or is this service only available in australia?
Since the streams are free I'm pretty sure you can watch them from Ireland or the UK without too much difficulty. If you run into any problems you could try using a free VPN service like Hola. By using a VPN you can cloak your actual location by using an Australian IP address.
Here is a list of all the Victorian racetracks that SportsBet stream from....

For racing outside of Victoria you'll probably need a Sky subscription. Once you have one of those you can also watch the racing on your droid/iOS.
SportsBet have added a brand new horse racing feature called Power Play. If you use the SportsBet app for iPhone and Android you can now select one horse race per day to have enhanced betting odds. All you need to do is hit the "Power Play" button to increase how much you'll win on that race.
It looks like SportsBet have been outmanoeuvred by their bitter rivals William Hill. While SportsBet only broadcast from racecourses in Victoria, William Hill now live stream from both NSW and Victoria.
