When Churchill first started add all of their replays to YouTube they had embedding disabled. To their credit they've since relaxed their stance and allow embedding of all replays... hopefully that's a sign that more will follow suite. Thanks for the comment!

One hopes that this trend will continue. It has been frustrating to me to post a link to a YouTube video of a race, with no purpose than to highlight an interesting race (usually one I had been there to see), only to have it removed due to a track or company complaining that it infringed their copyright. That shortsighted approach will cost racing new fans, rather than gain new ones. As an addition to your excellent list, I'd also like to add the At The Races site which allows access to many races run in the UK and Ireland (searched by horse name). There is also Equida for French run races, but for some very odd reason, not if you use a Mac - it seems they are tied to some odd software that limits you to a Windows platform, not just a specific browser or group of browsers.
