Turbo is a pretty level minded sort of guy, and one that truly knows his place in the world. He really is a 'take it as it comes' sort of horse, and is never particularly stressed about the situation, no matter how new or imposing. The only standards Turbo has are those he sets for himself; very self-confident in his presence and the job he has to do, which is essentially to come out on top. In everything. He is arrogant without the fuss, spirited without the silliness, and for such a young horse he really is surprisingly mature at mind -- or so he will try to convince you.
He has an air about him that is indescribable, admirable in many a way - call me biased. He often convinces even the most experienced handlers that he's a horse that can be trusted, one that you can relax around. Given his size and head-strong desire to do as he deems required, it's advisable not to be so easily swayed by his apparently cool groove. Though he means no outright foul intentions, at the end of the day, he truly believes he is running the show. Nothing he does is done for anybody but himself.

Turbo's larger, powerful build often means he's not the fastest, most collected horse when it come to breaking at the start of the race. He certainly doesn't have the same level of maneuverability as the smaller horses, but ground is more than readily recovered within the momentum of his huge, sweeping strides. Turbo usually gives himself plenty of time to act, breaking into one of the last positions of the race and increasing his pace quite rapidly there-on-in. He saves the full brunt of his speed and stamina until the last couple of furlongs to really try and kick up some space between himself and the front runners. He will often attempt to use his size and commanding presence as an intimidation to create gaps and move up into the lead along the inside, but will seize whatever opportunity is presented to him in the particular field in order to take the lead.
