The Raceclubs Equus Award for Virtual Horseracing Excellence

The Raceclubs Equus Award for Virtual Horseracing Excellence

Raceclubs.com is proud to announce the introduction of the most prestigious award in the world of virtual horseracing.

“The virtual horseracing community has enjoyed a proud and noble history of horseracing on Raceclubs; it is a history that deserves to be recorded for future generations while honoring the great men and women who have contributed to Raceclubs’s reputation for continuously raising the bar in virtual horseracing excellence.” Explaimed Raceclubs’s race Programmer as a reception held for launching The Raceclubs Equus Award for Virtual Horses and Owners.

The Raceclubs Equus Award will be presented to the members of the community committed to the tireless pursuit of virtual horseracing excellence. These are the men, women and horses that inspire and achieve the highest ideals of virtual horseracing and who’s efforts deserve to be recognized for posterity as an inspiration for future generations of virtual horse racers on Raceclubs and throughout the world.

Raceclubs .com’s Race Programmer initially suggested an award in recognition of the best horse of the season but the suggestion soon took on a life on its own as further categories were suggested that reflected the dynamic and diverse accomplishments of the virtual horseracing community. The categories recognize the best colt and filly amongst the juveniles, crowns and seniors; additional awards acknowledge exceptional performance, service, and accomplishment; including a lifetime achievement award.
