Game of Silks mirrors real-world horse race in the metaverse

Game of Silks, a digital horse-racing simulator in the metaverse, announced today that it will run races that mirrors the real-world Keeneland Spring Meet. Digital twins of real racehorses will race in the metaverse alongside their counterparts, with the owners of the digital horses earning rewards for their performances.

Silks, which is the blockchain partner of the New York Racing Association, created NFTs modeled after the crop of then-one-year-old horses in 2022. All told, it created more than 17,500 digital twins of the young racehorses, who are now in their first racing season. It worked with the Jockey Club, the official organization for registering Thoroughbreds to recreate the horses’ date accurately. According to Silks, it will auction any digital racehorses running at the Meet not already owned before it begins.
