I'll try that at Keeneland meet, just to see if it works (enter a horse to win, cancel just after the break) ... there are machines where I can readily see the break happen live for certain races.

Now, that's another thing I've noticed. I've seen where both Youbet and Xpressbet have a 1-2 second delay - or not - in the telecast of races vs. live. It varies, it's not consistent. I've watched many a race on Xpressbet or Youbet play out with the "live" call via "At The Races" (I'm listening via computer feed) on delay - but to hear the race feed via ATR play with the video on Xpressbet or Youbet delayed is weird.
