Trained by James Ferguson for his first five starts, the 3-year-old broke his maiden at Yarmouth in September and won his sophomore bow at Southwell two starts later in an all-weather novice in April. Fourth in the G3 Greenham S. later that month, the son of listed winner Peach Melba (GB) (Dream Ahead) was a length behind Age Of Kings (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) in the G3 Jersey S. at Royal Ascot last month. Bred by R Kent and the Executors of Lady Lonsdale, the colt was a 90,000gns Tattersalls December foal. Currently at Harry Eustace's barn, he will eventually be campaigned in Australia.

Qatar Racing's David Redvers told Racing.com, “After Royal Ascot, a 50% share in Zoology was bought by Ciaron Maher for a significant sum and the plan is to aim him at the Golden Eagle S. in Sydney later in the year.

“James Ferguson has done a great job with the horse but it was purely a commercial decision. The long and short of it is that they wanted to move Zoology into their system so he has left James Ferguson and joined Harry Eustace, who is brother of Ciaron's training partner David.

“It's highly unlikely that the horse will run again here but he's with Harry until he goes to Sydney for their spring.”
