A Horse named Cirque du Soleil?

Whodathunk there was a horse on the racing circuit named “Cirque du Soleil”?

I didn’t. I don’t follow the sport, but apparently there is – and he (or she) along with “Absolute Grey” exercised at a facility in Bangalore, India.

Cirque Du Soleil and Absolut Grey impressed when the horses were exercised here on Wednesday morning (May 2).

Inner sand:

1000m: Sam’s Pride (Suraj) 1-8, 600/40. In fine trim.

They pleased while the latter started five lengths behind and finished level. Wind And Flight (Mrs. Silva), Sunstorm (Anjar) 1-28, 1,000/1-13.5, 600/44. They moved fluently.
