BTX Racing allows you to purchase real ownership of real racehorses with Australia’s leading trainers for an affordable one-time price with no ongoing fees. BTX Racing puts you in the race with real prize money and real ownership experiences.
BTX harnesses Micro-ownership or fractional ownership which has become an increasingly popular way for racing fans and enthusiasts to get involved in racehorse ownership at an affordable pricing level. Australia has one of the highest quality racing calendars globally, and it is exciting to bring fans of racing behind the scenes and into ownership.
Micro-ownership offers a more affordable and accessible alternative to traditional ownerships. In traditional ownerships individuals must make a significant financial commitment to purchase a horse outright or through a syndicate taking on all the financial risks and responsibilities (including ongoing training fees, insurance costs, veterinary care and race entry fees). However, in micro-ownership multiple individuals can pool their resources and purchase an interest in a racehorse together. This allows them to experience the thrill of racehorse ownership while sharing the costs and risks associated with it from as little as $75 for an ownership share.
The BTX Racing ownership model is built around one upfront payment with no ongoing fees. Costs are shared evenly across all BTX Owners within that horse or pack of horses. The costs of ownership include (but are not limited to), horse acquisition costs, training costs, insurance costs, race nominations and ongoing administration costs, with unused funds returned to owners at the end of the ownership period.
BTX Racing is the world’s first platform to provide micro-ownership backed by blockchain technology and is committed to working towards decentralised, secure, and user-friendly systems that enhance trust, transparency and efficiency in the equine marketplace.
We will be publishing a blog soon on how BTX harnesses blockchain technology.
The BTX Racing micro-ownership model offers several advantages over traditional ownership models, including lower entry barriers (check out Smart Missile x Chloe’s Comet for $75), reduced financial risk, and greater flexibility. Unlike traditional ownership models that require substantial investments and ongoing expenses, the BTX Racing model allows investors to buy as little or as much ownership as they want, providing access to a diverse portfolio of racehorses.
BTX Racing’s marketplace contains a variety of shares of thoroughbred horses to suit any horse racing enthusiast or serious investor’s portfolio.
The range includes:
BTX Racing is committed to ensuring the welfare of our horses. Through the BTX Racing horse welfare initiative, Horse Beyond the Course, every ownership token purchased on the BTX Platform contributes a minimum of $2.5 towards a horse-by-horse superannuation fund, which supports retired horses after their racing life. BTX Racing believes this will revolutionise horse welfare across the global equine industry, ensuring that every horse is given the care and support it deserves. Visit our Welfare page for more information.
Your horse racing investment entitles you to real prizemoney, which is important considering the Australian Horse Racing Industry’s average race value is among the highest in the world and total prizemoney has increased 82% in the last 10 seasons.
After standard deductions for trainers, jockeys, welfare fees, and BTX performance fees all the prize money goes to unit holders on a regular basis (Visit FAQ). Funds will be credited directly into your BTX wallet where you can either choose to buy more BTX horses or withdraw your funds to any Australian financial institution.
More and more Australian’s are discovering the benefits of owning racehorses rather just punting or watching the races, as the experience goes beyond the financial returns of the race to the connection with the horse, the team and other owners from foal to retirement.
