Owners Club Crowns First-Ever Virtual AI Race Champion at Ascot!
Owners Club, the groundbreaking mobile horse racing game, made history today by hosting the world’s first-ever virtual Champions Day race at the iconic Ascot Racecourse. Over 10,000 players from across the UK entered the high-stakes competition, with 600 qualifying for the tournament, 60 advancing to the finals, and the top 12 taking center stage in a thrilling live race.
The final showdown was broadcast live on all screens across Ascot, delivering an electrifying experience for attendees, as the virtual race was called by legendary announcer Mike X, whose iconic voice brought the action to life for the on-site audience and viewers worldwide. Players and spectators alike were captivated as In Her Majesty’s Service, the winning virtual horse, and its owner, Vermdrago, were crowned champions of this unprecedented event.
The virtual race was powered by Owners Club’s cutting-edge AI and Web3 technology, which has been revolutionizing the world of competitive horse racing gaming since its soft launch in the UK in August 2024. Each horse in the game boasts unique genetics, breeding traits, and training capabilities that simulate real-world racing dynamics, allowing players to train, breed, and race their own thoroughbred virtual horses in a fully immersive experience.
Owners Club CEO Jonathan Strause commented, “The success of our virtual Champions Day race at Ascot marks a pivotal moment for both horse racing and gaming. This event proves that we can merge traditional sports with modern technology to create engaging, competitive experiences that attract new audiences while preserving the excitement and prestige of the sport.”

FBM Foundation organizes a Breast Cancer Awareness Program to encourage prevention practices
Educating and empowering female volunteers on the importance of Breast Cancer early detection and prevention was the main purpose of the Breast Cancer Awareness Program that the FBM Foundation held last October 17th at the One Corporate Centre Building in Pasig City. The initiative prepared by the Corporate Social Responsibility project of the FBM Group gathered 48 women.
The Breast Cancer Awareness Program reflects the FBM Foundation’s ongoing commitment to health awareness and community well-being. Dr. Alodee Mejia, a breast cancer care expert from Asian Hospital and Medical Center, served as the guest speaker, offering essential insights on early detection, self-examinations, and the latest treatment and preventive measures.
“Breast cancer touches many lives, and raising awareness is crucial. It is not just about knowing it exists; it’s about understanding how to act. With expert guidance, we can offer our volunteers the proper knowledge to make a difference in the fight against this health issue,” said Lulu Barreras, FBM Foundation Project Coordinator in the Philippines.
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, and early detection can significantly increase survival rates. Regular self-examinations and screenings are essential for catching the disease in its early stages. It is important to remember that breast cancer does not only affect women. Men are also at risk, and being informed and vigilant is a big step forward to save lives.
By hosting this program, the FBM Foundation emphasized its dedication to promoting health, encouraging proactive measures, and supporting the well-being of its volunteers. This program was not only an opportunity to share knowledge but also to inspire action. As the volunteers are now better equipped, they are more likely to engage in conversations with their families, friends, and communities, spreading awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. The FBM Foundation hopes this ripple effect will extend far beyond the conference room, creating a visible change in the community.
Raising awareness about critical health issues such as breast cancer reflects a deeper commitment from companies to help society. Through the organization of awareness initiatives like this program, businesses can contribute to having more informed employees and volunteers and have an active role in public health efforts.

Rank Group Says All Business Units Performing Well as Outlook Positive
Rank Group has reported better-than-expected profit margins, as net gaming revenue rose comfortably in its financial first quarter, with the company confident in its outlook.
The Maidenhead, England-based casino operator said like-for-like net gaming revenue rose 12% on-year to GBP197.5 million in the three months ended September 30.
“The business saw strong underlying improvement in the quarter and also benefitted from better than expected margins. Grosvenor’s performance improvement was consistent across both London and the rest of the UK,” Rank said.
Looking ahead, the company said it is confident of delivering like-for-like operating profit in line with expectations.
Chief Executive Officer John O’Reilly said: “With all business units performing well, the double-digit growth in our Grosvenor venues and UK digital business is particularly encouraging, with customers clearly enjoying the improvements we are making across our land-based estate and to our digital offering. Rank is now a stronger and more sustainable business, and we are looking forward to the land-based legislative reforms coming to fruition in 2025.”
Rank will release its half-year results on January 30.
