I spotted an interesting new multimedia site from the US the other day (created as an interactive news site for the Kentucky Derby). A series of podcasts and video segments are available for download to allow you to experience the lead-up to the races via a series of behind the scenes interviews, plus all the action of the Big Day. The crisp, clean layout of the site is also well worth noting.

Speaking of podcasts, here's another website offering them: The Lexus Equine Forum. Formerly known as “From the Backstretch to the Winner’s Circle”, the program is the longest continuously airing radio program on Thoroughbred Racing in America, spanning more than 17 years. You can listen to the show live on the radio, via the Internet (live streaming) or at a time that suits you via downloading onto your iPod.
