Just wondering.Will we be able to get live BC races over Twin Spires feed?IIRC Breeders Cup blacks out the track feed.Nothing against Larry but I would much rather listen to Kurt Becker call the races.

Keeneland.com has live race video.
This from a week ago.
Kurt Becker, the only track announcer in Keeneland's history, tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to miss Saturday's final day of the Lexington, Ky., track's fall meeting.
A statement from Keeneland said Becker, who ended the “silent era” by becoming Keeneland's first race caller in 1997, is “experiencing only mild symptoms and he is resting at home.”
Keeneland did not indicate what day Becker was tested. The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department protocol in other cases with mild symptoms required a minimum 10 days in isolation following a positive test. Unless his condition worsens, that would free Becker from isolation in time to provide the on-track call of the Nov. 6-7 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Keeneland.

Was wondering why Becker missed the last day of Keeneland. Doc, the track feed should have the local caller whether that is Becker or a fill in and the betting platforms should be playing the track stream. If Becker, I’ll likely watch/listen to that also, Becker is the best currently, IMO.
