BloodHorse, in partnership with Louisville, Ky.-based radio host Louie Rabaut, will launch a new podcast, BloodHorse Monday, Feb. 3.
The weekly hour-long show will regularly feature BloodHorse assistant news editor Sean Collins, as well as editorial director Frank Angst, and other BloodHorse staff. Initially it will air live at 2 p.m. ET on YouTube (www.youtube.com/@bloodhorse) and on ESPN Louisville+ and then will be available for download at BloodHorse.com, the BloodHorse YouTube channel, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, and at espnlouisville.com.
In addition, the show will air in Louisville on ESPN 680/105.7, as well as other stations throughout the country.
BloodHorse Monday will focus on the Kentucky Derby (G1) trail in the spring, and Breeders' Cup Challenge Series races in the fall. Meets around the country—from Saratoga Race Course, to Keeneland, to Del Mar—will be featured as well. Shows also will look at stallion success, along with features on industry issues.
Rabaut began his broadcasting career with the 2018 Kentucky Derby, won by eventual Triple Crown winner Justify . In addition to BloodHorse Monday, Louie hosts Rabaut & Co., a two-hour weekday show at ESPN Louisville. He is also the host of the popular Horse Racing Happy Hour podcast, and hosts the Kentucky Racing Spotlight with Louie Rabaut, which airs Friday evenings at ESPN Louisville. Rabaut is a weekly contributor to the Sporting Tribune.
A lifelong fan of the sport from Pennsylvania, Collins is a 2022 graduate of the University Louisville's Equine Industry Program and joined BloodHorse as an assistant news editor in 2024. Prior to his work with BloodHorse, Collins worked for three years in the visitor services department at the Kentucky Derby Museum in Louisville. Besides BloodHorse, Collins operates APharoah12, one of the largest independently run horse racing YouTube channels.
