About
Ornithology, a 3yo bay colt from Australia, is trained by Chris Waller. He is out of the dam Our Songbird and by the stallion Too Darn Hot. To date he has recorded one victory, which came on 6 Oct 2025 at Ballarat when he captured the $32,000 Maiden Plate. The horse has been a rewarding choice for bettors, delivering a 130% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
