Fans Stampede To Derby Sites This Weekend

Posted on May 1, 1998

It's post time online, as hundreds of Kentucky Derby related websites attract users this weekend. Among the offerings, are the official Derby site hosted by Churchill Downs at http://www.kentuckyderby.com/, where users can find Derby news, ticket information, events, merchandise & sponsors; VISA Triple Crown Challenge; Derby history, party ideas, and the Kentucky Derby Museum. Those who can't make the trip to the historic track can hear it live via the Internet, as the call of the race will be carried online, and race results and photos will be featured.

The MiningCo. has a selection of race related links, courtesy of Louisville Guide Jackie Hargesheimer. An up to the minute race weather forecast can be found at http://weather.tqn.com/blderby.htm (occasional thundershowers are expected), and you can send a photo postcard of your favorite derby contender to a friend via the Net, at http://horseracing.miningco.com/library/derby/blpost.htm.
