I don't know how good it is but it's free live video.

It's saying it's not available right now. The feed is through twinspires.com right? My state doesn't allow online gambling. I assume that's why I can't see it (unless I'm just missing something). Thanks for trying to help, though.

I just tried it and it is working. You just have to scroll down to find Oaklawn underneath where it says tracks...it's toward the left of the video screen.

I did, but now the video screen's blank.

I guess it's messed up then because it worked for me. Maybe it is something with your state not allowing it...that sucks.

Yeah, the reservation gets a Harrah's, but the rest of us have to get our jollies from the MegaMillions and Powerball. I get that they decide they have to protect us from the big bad wagering monster, but for the love of pete, can we not see the racing feeds from gambling websites? Lead us not unto temptation, I guess. They'd sooner allow you to buy alcohol all day on Sunday. I hate to point out the obvious, but some people get it on a Saturday night and--the nerve--drink it during church hours no matter what laws you pass on the time they can buy it.

Archarcharch holds off Nehro by a head for those who couldn't watch. The Factor a non-factor.

And Terry Wallace gets the nod for Worst call in the history of horse racing.

[golfer]

And for those who couldn't hear, that had to be the worst race call ever. Sorry, but we would have been better served with simple silence.

That was a disgrace. If you can't call the Arkansas Derby without several 5-second pauses, what the hell are you doing announcing at Oaklawn?

i think he has eye issues, always on the backside and then he can't regain his train of thought.

guessing this is his last year.....

There were several periods of dead air in that race when he said nothing at all.

[NTamm1215]

I don't have a tremendous amount of racecalling experience, but you don't look at saddle cloths. Ever. The call was disgraceful.

Now The Factor can go back to sprinting and the 3YOs are further proving that they're horrible.

UNCLE MO!!!!!!!!!! the new fave

[Port Conway Lane]

In the backstretch...."The factor's been taken to the outside in third.......and now moving up between horses...........that's JW Blue"....JW Blue was near the rear of the pack when he made that call.

[outofthebox]

Real happy for Jon Court and Jinks Fires...Living the dream. That said, how in the world do you handicap this years Derby. Will the favorite be under 5-1? I was cringing during the race listening to Wallace.

Thanks. I guess with the race call going the way it did, it's probably a good thing that I didn't have to hear it. Maybe Archarcharch's name will grow on Haskin. What happened with The Factor? Did he not make the lead, and it hit the fan after that?
