About
Circus Dancer is a 3yo brown filly trained by Tony Cole in Matamata. She is by the stallion Circus Maximus out of the dam Folies Bergere. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $73,889, she is regarded as an above‑average racehorse. On 29 Nov 2025 at Wanganui, ridden by Madan Singh, she claimed her most important victory in the $80,000 3yo F Open Set Weight, defeating War Princess. She has proven to be a profitable choice for punters; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 473% return on investment.
