Yeah it's technically live. I still think it's a second or two behind the Vic and NSW radio feeds for their races, which I guess is the relay time from the transmitters down south. They've started taking the Sky audio in the evenings lately. Cost cutting I'd say
It's normally live (in that there's virtually no perceptible difference between the radio and on course PA) but a couple times lately when I've been on course there's been a short delay. Wouldn't be more than a second or so but it was noticeable, and would be detrimental to in play trading. This was one occasion at Eagle Farm, another at Capalaba. I don't know if they were anomalies or if there is a very small delay somewhere in the process now.
It's funny, when I used to use the radio for in play I had much better results on the southern and western tracks, which should in theory have a slight delay, than I did at tracks 5km from my house. I think that was likely because Brisbane seemed to attract tracksiders before Sydney and Melbourne for some reason.
