Amplify Horse Racing, one of the top three national winners of the 2025 CareerViewXR Production Grant, announced in a press release Monday afternoon that it has been chosen to take part in a program that aims to create an immersive, virtual “field trip” to introduce students nationwide to careers in the Thoroughbred racing industry. Out of a nationwide pool of applications, Amplify joins Keystone LifeSci Collaborative and Oklahoma Connections Academy in winning the honor. Each winner will work with CareerViewXR to create a unique video-based field trip that introduces kids to actual career pathways both inside and outside of their communities. By providing an inside look at the Thoroughbred industry and its employees, the documentary will raise awareness of the sector. Boost 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.
The goal of Amplify Horse Racing, according to executive director Annise Montplaisir, is to make the Thoroughbred industry as inclusive and approachable as possible while exposing young people to its variety of career options in an entertaining, interactive, and secure manner. “There are some jobs, like operating a tractor, riding a racehorse, or working as a farrier, that are difficult to experience directly, and we can’t always take them to a racetrack, sales company, or breeding farm. Our approach to programming delivery will be revolutionized by the CareerViewXR platform, which will let us to reach students wherever they may be.
