Amplify Horse Racing has been named one of three top national awardees of the 2025 CareerViewXR Production Grant, a program developed by CareerViewXR, a division of Be More Colorful, joinging Keystone LifeSci Collaborative and Oklahoma Connections Academy to garner the award out of a pool of applicants from across the country. All three winners will collaborate with CareerViewXR to develop their own custom video-based field trip which connects students with real-world career paths in their communities and beyond. Amplify's video will place a spotlight on the Thoroughbred industry by showcasing a behind-the-scenes view of the sport and its workforce. Amplify will also receive a 12-month CareerViewXR subscription for up to 5,000 individuals and two VR headsets to enhance in-person education and outreach events.
“At Amplify Horse Racing, our mission is to make the Thoroughbred industry as accessible and inclusive as possible, while introducing young people to its many career paths in a way that is engaging, hands-on, and safe,” said Annise Montplaisir, executive director at Amplify Horse Racing. “We can't always bring students to a racetrack, sales company, or breeding farm–and there are certain roles, like driving a tractor, riding a racehorse, or working as a farrier, that aren't easy to experience firsthand. The CareerViewXR platform will be a game-changer for how we deliver our programming, allowing us to bring the industry directly to students–no matter where they are.”
