HONG KONG, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Winners Circle, the innovative fan platform for horse racing, has partnered with Total Performance Data to bring horse racing fans closer to the action by leveraging the platform's real-world data and insights.

Founded by Racing League and powered by Zilliqa, The Winners Circle is set to redefine fan engagement in horse racing, offering meaningful and engaging experiences to members across the world using the power of blockchain technology.

Total Performance Data (TPD) is the world's leading horse racing data provider, providing seamless access to data from more than 120 racetracks that encompasses live and post-race information, ranging across everything from live coordinates and sectional times to speed charts and stride measurements.

Through combining real-world data with a fan token ecosystem secured by blockchain technology, The Winners Circle sets itself apart as a Web3-enabled platform that not only gives racing fans unprecedented opportunities but also taps into the excitement and thrills of the racetrack.

The Winners Circle aims to expand the ways in which it leverages data from TPD as its ecosystem grows, with opportunities to integrate real-world racing data to improve the realism of its upcoming fantasy racing game or to immortalise real-world racing moments in token form which can then be earned by fans.
