What is a circular Horse Racing Track called?

Answer 1

In ancient times, Greeks created tracks for horse racing called Hippodromes. Romans designed tracks based off of the Hippodrome called a Circus, which was slightly narrower and accommodated 4 horses instead of 10. Our modern horse race tracks are usually designed after the Greek Hippodromes so modern tracks may be considered a Hippodrome.

Answer 2

A horse is a four-legged animal with a curved cylindrical body, an elongated neck and relatively large head.
