For years Paddy Power ran a free radio and "commentary centre" for horse and greyhound racing. It has been switched off, and the old links now lead nowhere or to Paddy Power's main site. Paddy Power customers can still watch some races on its live streams, which need a funded account or a bet.
For free audio today, Timeform Radio (Betfair's commentary) and myracing (Racing Post's commentary) both cover the UK and Irish meetings with no sign-in, and William Hill Radio does with a free account.
