Sky Racing is an Australian horse and greyhound racing television channel. It is carried by Foxtel, Austar, Optus TV and Neighbourhood Cable. It was formerly available on SelecTV from 16 April 2007 until the closure of its English service in late 2010.[2][3]
The channel generally telecasts all thoroughbred racing, harness racing and greyhound racing meetings that are covered by the various Australian TABs. This includes both metropolitan and country meetings from all Australian states, as well as selected international races from New Zealand, England, South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore, France and Japan.
It first began in September 1998, as a spin-off of Sky Channel. On an unknown date, Sky Racing Australia has three channels:
- Sky Racing 1 launched 5 September 1998,
- Sky Racing 2 launched 30 March 2010, and
- Sky Racing World launched 4 May 2010.
Its parent company Tabcorp also owns other racing media assets including Sky Channel, Sky International and 2KY radio.
