I was about to pay form my TVN video form again when someone let me know that best bets has free racing replays.
i knew they were bought by tvn but didn't know about this, very good boys:thumbsu::thumbsu:!
 
It has just been made free for everyone a couple of weeks ago (but you must create a free account to log into). Before that you had to be a monthly subscriber to access it.

Best Bets, Bigpond and TVN all access the same Telstra servers. BB has the same coverage that TVN website had - essentially Victoria & Sydney back several years.

The only thing that I don't like is you can't just go to the race and have each horses runs only a click away, you've gotta go to a date and then race then it loads, can be a pain when you wanna see the video replay quickly or have a big field

If you click on a horse when looking at a race a pop up window will open, which at the bottom shows the horse's last 5 runs. A little horse symbol appears next to the races which have a reply, click on that symbol to view that race.

But yeah if you want to view a race older than the horse's past 5 runs then you have to search by date which yeah would be a pain. I'm not sure if that can be fixed (company policy to only show last 5 runs in this section of the website).

I got a nice little surprise this morning when I checked my bank account, had a extra $50 in there. A mate owed me money and paid (didn't really care if he paid or not) so I paid for 1 more month of TVN, I think for $16.50 the ease of just going to a race, looking at each horses last run and then moving to the next without searching for dates, then race numbers, then starting the video just seems better. I will still use best bets for race dates going past its last 5 runs.

One thing I love about TVN is the life time video form, you can type in the horses name then go back to the start of its race day, I think with Bomber Bill retired no Victorian horse started before TVN did.
 
One thing I was impressed with on the Best Bets videos are the replays of non-TAB meetings in Victoria. Except some seem to be covered and some aren't which is a bit annoying! Hopefully they can get them all on there, especially with country racing just after the spring carnival so many horses come out of non TAB bush races.
