6,000 NFTs Offer Licensed Co-Ownership of Thoroughbreds Racing in Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand

Malaysia, 9 July 2025 — Hoofborn is putting real horses on the blockchain — literally. The project’s inaugural NFT collection brings fractional ownership of live, licensed racehorses to a global audience via Solana, the high-speed, low-cost blockchain designed for real-world scale.

The 6,000-unit collection represents legal equity in six thoroughbreds actively competing in the Southern Hemisphere circuit. Hoofborn stores ownership records, race data, and prize disbursements on-chain — making one of the world’s oldest elite asset classes transparent, tradeable, and accessible to everyday enthusiasts.

Breaking the Access Barrier

Historically, thoroughbred ownership has demanded deep capital, regional proximity, and insider networks. Even modern syndicates require considerable administrative effort and jurisdictional access.

Hoofborn solves this with NFTs tied to verifiable, real-world equity stakes. Ownership documentation, race updates, and prize splits are recorded transparently on Solana. Units can be resold through regulated marketplaces — simplifying access while preserving compliance.

 

Mint Details & Initial Stable

The public mint is scheduled for 18 July 2025, with 6,000 NFTs evenly distributed across the following horses:

• Ignis – Jo’s Legend (Malaysia)
   
• Zephyr – Double You Owe (Malaysia)
   
• Abyss – Dark Moon (Malaysia)
   
• Lumen – Cosmic Prince (New Zealand)
   
• Torrent – Forget Romance (Malaysia)
   
• Tempest – Rush Fortyfive (Australia)
   

Each NFT corresponds to a fractional share of a licensed horse with documentation on file. Full profiles, race footage, and media assets can be viewed at hoofborn.com/meethorse.

 

Rights & Utility

Every Hoofborn NFT is linked to a legally binding agreement representing true ownership in its respective horse. Documentation includes:

• Purchase contracts
   
• Racing licences
   
• Insurance certificates
   

All are publicly available for review. Day-to-day care is managed by licensed trainers across Victoria, Kuala Lumpur, and Waikato. Legal oversight is provided by Hoofborn’s counsel in Auckland, New Zealand.

Holders also gain:

• Access to a private owner portal with live training updates, vet reports, and race schedules
   
• Invitations to track visits and licensed paddock walks, subject to jurisdictional limits

   

Governance & Roadmap

Post-mint, Hoofborn will introduce community governance features. Token holders will have the ability to vote on stable expansion, allocation of prize funds, and acquisition of new bloodstock.

Planned developments include:

• NFT staking to signal support or earn rewards
   
• Performance analytics covering sectional times, pedigree insights, and trainer stats
   
• Expansion into yearling acquisitions via major auction houses in Australasia
   

 

Founder’s Vision

Hoofborn is the brainchild of John Chew, a seasoned horseman with 30+ years of racing experience across Australia and New Zealand. From managing Cup-distance runners to advising on bloodstock strategy, Chew brings unmatched industry insight.

“The opportunity to own a high-quality racehorse has been confined to a narrow circle for far too long,” Chew says.
 “By tokenising legitimate equity stakes and publishing documentation on-chain, we’re giving everyday enthusiasts a seat at the table — without cutting corners on regulatory integrity.”

 

Partnerships & Oversight

• Equine Operations: Managed by licensed trainers and vet teams across key race jurisdictions
   
• Marketing & Community: Powered by DTC Group (dtcgroup.io), with experience in 300+ blockchain projects
   
• Acquisitions: Discussions are underway with regional auction houses to expand Hoofborn’s bloodstock pipeline
