Personality
Straton is one of the most highly anticipated foals of his crop and he instantly started living up to those expectations. A muscular, solid bay like his father--Straton lives beyond the plain brown wrapper he was given, often exuding the energy of a child. Always a forward moving individual, Straton gave off vibes of being a good one during his foal days. A spitfire for first-time dam Supernatural, Straton would lead the small herd of colts and fillies on a merry chase around the paddock, his tail in the air and always in front. The happy go lucky attitude was quite a surprise for the BBS crew. Siri could be a little dangerous due to her unpredictability whereas Anodyne's sire line was well known for its hatred of all things human. Straton's only danger is that he can't seem to sit still and doesn't seem to notice when he's stepping on said human entities.
On the track, Straton carries himself with pride. Totally unfazed by the excited crowds or various temperatures, Straton's only measure of failure or success is what he leaves on the track. He is a work horse in the morning, giving his exercise rider's all they can handle. While some horses are light on the bridle, the bay colt just gets more powerful with every stride. By the time he hits the wire, Straton's head is down to his knees and the reins are taunt on his strong neck, fighting for every inch during the easiest days. During a race, the burly bay is less of a handful and kinder on his jock's hands. He gates well, fidgeting once in a while, but he always breaks quickly like his sire. He'll hit the first hundred yards with the lead before letting the quicker horses take over and settling as close to the rail as he can get. Surprisingly, Straton seems buoyed by the feel of dirt speckling his chest and he races impressively with cover. He'll gallop along easily until his rider directs him to a hole and lets him go. With bristling speed, Straton pounces, covering the distance with glamorous ease. He doesn't mind dog fights, but often he's just moving too fast for such simplistic things and often ends a race with his ears pricked as if to say "Can we do that again?" |
