Zoology, a 5-year-old bay gelding from the UK, is making waves in Australian racing. Trained by Ciaron Maher, this talented horse, sired by Zoustar (AUS) and out of Peach Melba (GB), has already secured 3 victories. Having previously showcased his ability with a G3 placing at Royal Ascot, his most impressive win to date was at Eagle Farm on December 14th, where he defeated Boom Shot in a thrilling race.


Zoology is one of the latest racehorses available for fractional ownership on BTX Racing. Partnering with Ciaron Maher Racing, BTX offers a unique opportunity for horse enthusiasts to own a percentage share in a top-class racehorse. This innovative approach allows fans to experience the thrill of racehorse ownership without the traditional barriers of high costs. Owners can enjoy the excitement of watching their horse race and participate in exclusive owners’ experiences.

BTX Racing is also one of the most compliant syndicators in Australia, and one of the first companies in Australia to elevate on a global scale.


While the Australian equine industry may be slow to adopt technology in some areas, digital innovation, particularly in ownership models, can revolutionise the sport. By making horse ownership more accessible to a wider audience, we can ensure the long-term health and prosperity of the racing industry.



BTX Racing prioritises equine welfare, ensuring responsible care for racehorses throughout their lives by implementing a rigorous onboarding process for trainers, breeders, and industry partners.


As a blockchain-enabled platform, BTX is pioneering a new era of responsible horse ownership. By allocating $2.50 from every ownership token to a rehoming fund, they’re actively contributing to the welfare of racehorses’ post-career. While they recognise the scale of the challenge, they believe this initiative is a significant step towards a more sustainable and compassionate industry.
