General Information
"Saturn" Registered Thoroughbred Colt Y19 Born Chestnut 16.1hh |
Show stopper, arrogant and heart breaker are just some of the things that Saturn is known for around the farm. If this colt was a college student, he would be your typical jock type with a serious attitude to boot. Saturn seriously thinks everything revolves around him, much like the planet Saturn revolves around the Sun (quite a fitting name for the colt, we'll pretend that his colour didn't have anything to do with the naming process, either). There isn't a moment where Saturn isn't trying to look at himself in a mirror, especially when he's working indoors. He'll often stop dead in his tracks, much to the dislike of his jockeys, and strike a pose while gazing lovingly into his own eyes. He seems to follow the camera wherever he goes; Saturn is quite the social media superstar and as soon as his foal picture was shared online the #frssaturn was started (don't let him figure out he has a following on social media though...it'll go straight to his already large head). Saturn will show off for absolutely anyone who pays attention to him, which often involves a lot of piaffing on the spot and tossing his immaculately kept mane. While he's not people aggressive, Saturn is very protective of his food and will lunge at you if you try and take his food away. He has to be fed alone in solitude and absolutely cannot have anyone stalled beside him when he gets his grain. We learned that the hard way when he nearly tore down the entire dividing wall between him and Flight Deck, and almost attacked the other colt through the section of the wall that he actually managed to break. Saturn may come off as a hot-shot that seems to have a "perfect life", but he is secretly a suck and wants to prove his worth to everyone. This colt is a sucker for soft kisses on the nose or a scratch on his shoulder and will often beg for a treat or two after a race, just to make sure he did a job well done.

Racing InformationSaturn better be shining on race day because if not, you're going to have a real grumpy horse in the paddock. In typical fashion, Saturn's sleek copper coat needs to be prepped and primed at least a few hours before just so he can prove that he is the best looking horse of the bunch, no questions asked. Saturn can be a jerk in the paddock more often than not and needs at least two people to help settle him down. Blinkers are the colt's best friend, and they really help keep him focused on the track ahead. The less horses he has to see beside him the better, which is strange to us because he absolutely thrives running in between horses. Saturn is probably one of the fastest horses to break from the gates, but he won't keep his lead for long. This is where the blinkers come into play - as soon as he's out and in front, they help him to drop back without seeing anyone beside him. Saturn has no problem seeing and leaving the front to the horses that will tire themselves out the quickest. You'll then find Saturn making his move on the outside, sometimes directly in the centre of the track, just a straight beeline to the wire. There's no rush for him to make his move, he'll just calmly calculate and when he's in tune with his jockey, it's game over for the rest of the field as he says sayonara with a flick of his silky red tail.
