ZED Headz: Manchester Edition
Manchester – you rock! ZED RUN Meet Up UK took place in Manchester last week. Wall-to-wall ZED Headz gathered at the intimate Foundry Project Basement Bar for a night filled with great conversations, food, drinks, and, of course, a massive amount of digital horse racing.
It wouldn’t be a ZED RUN party without some proper attire. Everyone who attended the gathering received official ZED RUN merch. As you can see – the ZED RUN threads look good on the community. Word from the ground is that bypassers and patrons in the main bar couldn’t resist poking their heads in to learn more about what ZED RUN is and how it all works.
Throughout the night, stable owners squared off custom racing events featuring prizes such as Arbitrage.Run racehorses. Congratulations to Zombie Racing for taking home the grand prize in the Random Draw Cup – a Z4 Exclusive Nakamoto, and to OnChainRacing who won the in-person Maiden race, picking up another Arbitrage.Run racehorse as a prize too.
In a night filled with mini-tournaments, custom races, and stable networking, the Intercontinental Arbitrage.Run Cup was the crown jewel of it all. The four-race custom racing event came down to a 1v1 match-up for the title of Arbitrage.Run Cup champion.
In the end, Team ‘Rest of the World’ beat out those representing the United States and Australia for the win, clinching victory thanks to an electric run by Young Perfection – owned by McGrath Stables – beating out the favourite Grandeur (Iceberg Racing).
“It was an amazing feeling to watch my Young Perfection win!” McGrath Stables says. “My heart was going 200 beats-per-minute during the race. To be able to say I beat out Grandeur is still something I can’t believe.”
McGrath Stables says they’ll be entering Young Perfection into the breeding barn in the coming days, so keep an eye out for the opportunity to get your procreate on with one of the best in the game.
