Free as a Bird (or a Really Fast Horse)
That's right, folks! There are ways to catch all the action without spending a dime. Here's the lowdown:
- Channel Ten's 10 Play: If you're in Australia, this is your golden ticket. 10 Play is a free streaming service that'll show you the entire race, complete with all the pre-race hype and post-race analysis (because, let's be honest, dissecting those fancy hats is half the fun).
- Racing.com: Another free option for our Aussie mates. This website might be a bit lighter on the bells and whistles, but you'll still get to see the race live and cheer on your favorite four-legged athlete.
Word to the wise: These free options are geo-restricted, meaning you'll need to be in Australia to access them. But hey, if you're reading this from Timbuktu, maybe this is the year you finally book that long-awaited trip Down Under!
Not Down With Free? No Worries!
Maybe you prefer the comfort of a paid streaming service, or you're rocking a fancy VPN and want some variety. Here are a few options:
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
- TAB.com.au: This Aussie betting website offers a live stream of the race, although there might be a slight delay. Hey, who needs to see the horses cross the finish line first anyway, right? (This is a joke, please don't bet on horses based on this article).
- Fox Sports (US): If you're in the US and feeling left out, fret not! Fox Sports has you covered. Just make sure you have a cable subscription or a service like Sling TV.
Remember: Always check the terms and conditions before signing up for any paid service.
