"My" horse is running in five minutes, and I'm stuck in the queue for x-rays with no way to watch! So frustrating!
Edit: Managed to bypass the hospital WiFi enough to discover he came 4th, so at least I didn't miss a triumphant victory!

You need to sign up with an online bookie
. I am with a couple, one being Paddy Power. I have a paltry balance of approx £10.00 with them and put a more paltry amount on a horse (50p
) to watch a race live. You can easily do it with no sound if you don't want to attract attention. My horse has never been on a televised race so this is handy.

You don't need to put a bet on to watch on Paddy Power. I watched most of the irish races on there today (away from home so no RTV), and didn't put a penny on any of them.You need to sign up with an online bookie

So after reading this thread I bought shares in a horse with old gold with some Xmas money I received the welcome pack photo etc and the authentication number but when I enter the number to activate my shares it says invalid email address and won’t go any further I tried my other email and got the same … any ideas? Thank you x

Is the email you put in when you purchased the same one? If so, try copy and pasting it and logged in as normal, then activating the shares. When I did mine, I didn't need to activate them for some reason.

Jumping in to say the Chris Honour Racing Club were out in force today at their local track, Exeter, to watch Time to Bite nail his first win! I was at work 
but the RC WhatsApp group has been bubbling with excitement all day. The yard also had Mayhem Mya running and she also won, fabulous results for a small family yard who absolutely support their supporters - yesterday I received a personal Christmas card in the post, and Chris posted a video from before the race, and again from Time to Bite’s box once they were safely at home.

Well I bought this. Those who read all forum parts know the first anniversary of my Dad’s death is fast approaching. He loved Owners Group and following ‘my’ horses. I went to Cheltenham with @Spotherisk and saw this is in the shopping village. Having a little bit of Dad’s money still available I decided to go for it. It arrived yesterday. I love it!

It was a very emotional day for you, even without Stage Star winning. Lovely bronze, great choice.

I think for graduation/birthday gift I'm going to buy a share, what clubs do people suggests? Ideally would like somewhere local like Newmarket way. Have spoken to a few people but I'm not serious about it until march/April time
This thread may or not be the influence of this bday gift but I think it'll be fun to get involved with even just for a few months

I am impressed with old gold racing as I bought a share in picks lad 3 weeks ago and they messaged today to say picks lad has an injury and won’t return to racing until the summer so they offered me 100% refund or keep current shares and get free shares in another horse. Of course I’ll keep current shares in picks but nice to be able to follow another horse free of charge in the meantime

That's brilliant they do that, I have signed up to old gold racing's free syndicate though I know they don't have a horse yet I'm quite excited to follow before I decide to fully commit financially to somewhereI am impressed with old gold racing as I bought a share in picks lad 3 weeks ago and they messaged today to say picks lad has an injury and won’t return to racing until the summer so they offered me 100% refund or keep current shares and get free shares in another horse.

it'll be nice to just cheer and follow a horse on that has a more personal connection

I’m off to Taunton tomorrow to watch ‘my’ boy Swifty have his first run over hurdles. Come home safe. And enjoy it. And a win would be nice

I own a winner!*
I've lost track of the days at the moment, so completely forgot to watch the race yesterday and can't figure out how to watch it now, but he won by more than a length, which is encouraging!
This was his first race back on the flat after a couple of disappointing runs over hurdles, so it'll be interesting to see what the trainer does with him next.
