The Winner’s Circle Reimagines Horse Racing Loyalty

A horse race is a nail-biting contest that requires skill and judgment from the rider.

The earliest knowledge of organized horse races dates back to the Greek Olympic Games from 700-40 B.C. The sport quickly spread to China, Persia, and Arabia.

The modern racehorse developed in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. Breeding fast Arabian stallions with strong English mares created a new breed of horses whose speed and stamina became legendary.

The Track

Horse racing has been a part of civilizations around the world for thousands of years. Today, the sport employs thousands of people—many of whom work with the horses, and others who run the business side of things.

Every course has a variety of poles of different sizes and colors that stand at measured distances along the track. These help fans and jockeys/drivers keep track of race distances. For example, there are furlong poles that denote when a race has reached half of a mile. There are also quarter-mile poles that mark the end of a quarter mile.

The poles are important because most thoroughbred races are at least a mile long and require both speed and stamina to compete well. But there are many other factors that go into the success of a race, including its surface.

The Distance

When it comes to horse racing, there are many different factors that go into making a winning bet. One of the most important factors is the distance of a race. Distances are often measured in furlongs or miles. A furlong is equal to 220 yards or one-eighth of a mile. Some races are contested over shorter distances, while others cover longer distances.

Whether a horse is suited to a race’s distance or not depends on its class and running style. Trainers often use workout times and visual impressions to determine a horse’s readiness for a specific distance.

In addition to the distance of a race, a horse’s preference for a track surface can also play an important role. A horse is most likely to perform its best on a track with a surface that matches its preference. This is because a horse is able to build up sprint energy more quickly when it gallops in its preferred position along the track.

The Stakes

In horse racing, the word “stakes” refers to a race in which participants compete for prize money contributed, wholly or partially, by their owners. The term also may be used to describe a horse race in which competitors are assigned higher weights than they would otherwise carry for the opportunity to win.

The TOBA American Graded Stakes Committee assigns a specific level of grade to races meeting certain criteria, including minimum purse sizes and quality of the field. The Committee combines objective measurements of race quality (NARC Rating) with subjective judgments about a number of other factors, such as the caliber of competing horses and a race’s historical significance.

As such, a race’s grading status can change over time, adding an element of excitement to the sport. In addition, winning a stakes race can have profound implications for a horse’s career, highlighting the equine athlete’s talents and cementing his or her place in the history of the sport.

The Winner’s Circle

Whether cheering your heart out at the track or following along on horse racing prediction apps, The Winner’s Circle is reinventing fan engagement. As a next-generation loyalty platform powered by the Zilliqa blockchain, it delivers sustainable rewards to fans and players based on their proficiency and engagement. This includes access to exclusive events, merchandise and the chance to own a share in their favourite racehorse.

Owners, trainers and bloodstock agents search the sales grounds for a classic winner by checking out conformation and pedigree. They can spend millions on a yearling, but not everyone has the deep pockets to enter the world of thoroughbred ownership.

In order to attract a broader range of fans, The Winner’s Circle launched a prediction game and a public sale for its $HRSE token. Then the community began building new and exciting experiences like attending paddock open days, becoming a Racing League manager and even governance voting on team decisions.
