And it’s live! You can now watch a sh*tload of horse racing for FREE on the Paddy Power app

Let’s be honest: betting’s not the same if you’re not able to watch the event you’re punting on.

Well, thanks to the lovely shut-ins down in the Paddy Power tech basement, we’ve got some good news. If you’ve read the headline, you’ll already know basically what that is – but you can now stream UK and Irish racing from every track for FREE on the Paddy Power app and on desktop as well.

No, really. Free live streams. From all tracks in the UK and Ireland. Did we mention it was free?

The only thing you need is a Paddy Power account – and you don’t even have to bet on the race. Actually, er, have we thought this through? That seems incredibly generous, but I guess the boffins know what they’re doing.

So, no TV subscription to worry about, it’s all viewable thanks to good old PP.

What’s more, there’ll be tips and stats available, as well as analysis of things such as draw bias and pace, and the pictures will only have a one-second delay from the track. That’s pretty remarkable stuff.

There’s also a Predictor and Paddock View option lined up, meaning you’ll have everything at your fingertips. Even if you don’t bet, you’re more than welcome to log in and simply enjoy some high-quality racing for free.

Can’t say fairer than that.

All this kicks off on Monday June 1st at Newcastle, with all the major racing festivals covered from that date. So don’t miss out on a bumper month (and beyond) of racing on pp.com. Get streaming.
