Fierce, smart, in demand and flighty. Chester is a dominant presence out on the track no matter where he is. He's the speed demon of his turf crop and boy can he run, and he knows it. He's by a Breeders' Cup Turf winner, what else would you expect? Chester lives to please those around him and to bring joy to his fans at the track, and with how he runs, it's likely this colt will have quite the following. Chester is a rather friendly animal and gets along with just about anyone or anything you put around him. He's one of the many horses that has attached themselves to the barn cat and the two are always found getting into trouble.

He can be lazy but that doesn't take anything away from his works; Chester is a flashy horse with a pedigree to do some serious damage in the turf router division. Chester seems to know he's special and he doesn't let anyone forget it, he's always flexing his muscles and throwing his head this way and that. He nearly is always paying attention to his surroundings around him and always has his ears perked at something or some noise. However, Chester is a very studly colt and he seems to love to flirt with the ladies, which has earned him a few nasty kicks but he doesn't ever seem to learn.
​
On the track he's flashy, lazy, and fast all at the same time. This horse leaves many people speechless just by his running. He makes it look like its the only gait he has and every stride is effortless for him. He usually doesn't need much urging in a race to get himself going but in a workout he tends to test his jockey to see if he can slack off.

Chester shoots out of the gate and rushes to the lead, but he doesn't always stay there. He'll drop back quickly into a comfortable spot and then sit back behind all of the crazyness up front, on high alert for his prime opportunity. He doesn't mind kickback in his face, which is a great advantage when the pace is quite heated and he chooses to settle at mid-pack. If there is little to no pace he will comfortably take the role of a Front Runner and really take advantage of his flexibility. In a race full of closers if this horse is let lose to do whatever he wishes... well let's just say that race is over before the gates even open. Chester's variability is something that he uses to his advantage in every race that he runs in and he possesses a closing kick so strong that it can knock the socks off of anyone who dares to try and challenge it. ​
