LEXINGTON, Ky. - Marylandian -- With The Kentucky Derby less than two weeks away, The Game of Silks is one of the most innovative things to happen in the world of Thoroughbred Horse Racing in a long time. While technology in horse racing has been stagnant and lagged behind the times, The Game of Silks changes that, bringing the sport into the metaverse with both a plan and play to earn platform that is inviting to new owners both in the metaverse and in the real world of race horse ownership. There is also the potential to drive handle to the racetracks, something the sport always is in need of.

Recently Past the Wire ran a story on The Game of Silks where they spoke about the platform, business plan, goals and the potentially major impact it can have on an industry plagued with issues and problems of perception. The story followed an interview on Past the Wire TV with Game of Silks founders Troy Levy and Dan Nissanoff.

Racing columnist and founder of Past the Wire Jonathan Stettin had the following to say about Game of Silks;

"I have known Troy Levy a long time and watched him work himself through the ranks of the sport to owning Circle 8 Ranch in Lexington Kentucky and launching Tropical Racing. At Tropical, Troy has formed a partnership based on transparency, something the sport desperately needs, and integrity, something every business needs. Troy has a partnership involved in breeding, racing, buying and selling and knows the game from all different perspectives. Dan Nissanoff has a record as an internet entrepreneur that speaks for itself in addition to being a best selling author. When they approached me to talk about Game of Silks I was naturally interested and curious."

Jonathan went on to further state;

"Once we did the show with Troy and Dan I was impressed. I felt an article should follow to get Game of Silks out there to all the demographics in the sport that could possibly be interested. As a lifelong race-tracker anything that can grow the sport and bring new people into it, that is not in anyway detrimental to the horses, interests me. The game needs to move forward with technology and embrace new things that can help it grow. The racing industry has failed in marketing itself and missed the boat on the poker boom, fantasy sports, but hopefully not on Game of Silks and what it can do for the sport."
