SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): With the Singapore Turf Club’s impending closure leading to some racehorse trainers seeking new employment and its thoroughbreds homeless, one horse was spotted taking matters into its own hooves by seeking greener pastures.

The brown horse with a white streak on its face and a saddle on its back was seen in a video circulated on Saturday weaving through lanes and halting traffic as it galloped on the Bukit Timah Expressway, at one point turning to face oncoming cars head on, forcing motorists to come to a halt.
