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.”

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
