Daily Derby: A Horse Race for Brand Names
Daily Derby breeds branded horses, races them once a day, and turns the results into a tiny live sports-and-office-politics spectacle.
Field notes
The page combines a scheduled race interface with a fictional sports desk: it displays finishing times, distances, weather, standings, and a winner’s first-person interview. Race 3 placed eleven branded entrants, with Scope Creep from Linear winning in 72.0 seconds and Instant Payout from Stripe finishing 4.7 lengths behind. The site also tracks racing styles, wins, podiums, and an escalating horse-breeding price sequence beginning at $40.
