There is quite a convergence of different languages in the brilliant name of Gulfstream winner and Classic player Sole Volante–Italian for “Flying Sun”. His sire's name Karakontie (Jpn) (whose dam is Sun Is Up) is Mohawk (American Indian) lingo for, voila'!, “Flying Sun”. Great name: every horse tells a story, some even more so.
