New Kentucky Derby 2006 Site Launched

Churchill Downs has launched the official website for the 132nd Kentucky Derby and its sister race, Kentucky Oaks. The redesigned sites offer complete and updated coverage of the 2006 Derby race.

Kentuckyderby.com and Kentuckyoaks.com feature daily news updates, exclusive articles from top handicappers, free video of every major Kentucky Derby and Oaks prep race, and detailed information on each Derby and Oaks contender, including photographs, videos, past performances, pedigree information, and recent workouts.

Kentuckyderby.com also includes an online Derby Store and a virtual Derby experience, with webcams, celebrity videos, and photo galleries designed to capture the event's excitement and pageantry.

The site also celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2006 and will include five major sections to cover the various aspects of the Kentucky Derby. The "Coverage" portion includes the richly informative Derby contenders section, as well as event news, daily updates from the racetrack, workout videos, trainer interviews, and real-time odds on the popular Kentucky Derby Future Wager.
