Titan doesn't really like young, testosterone fueled males and drives them away and makes sure they stay away. He is very proud of himself and doesn't care what others think of him.
History;Titan was born on a racing farm in kentucky, where they kept him with his mom for a year. After he was entered in his first race he was chirstened with his name, Fool's Gold. His jockey whipped the him hard when they were coming down the stretch which made him run faster, his heart bounded as he came in second by a neck. His owner was very proud and entered him in another race, The Go For Wand handicap. When they were coming around the back stretch he was in a good fifth and once the jockey whipped he bolted. It was him against his rival Lucky Gem, they were both neck and neck as they came towards the finish. It was a photo finish and ended in a dead heat. The next race Titan was entered in was a dirt race with Lucky Gem already in it. Lucky Gem was the favorite as they went into the gate.
Titan bolted into the lead but fell back to fifth in after the rest of the pack caught up. Lucky Gem was right infront of him as they went around the back stretch. At the begining of the stretch it was once again Fool's Gold and Lucky Gem fighting for the lead. A new comer to racing, Gold Mine quickly gained on the two. Now it was a three way race, Fool's Gold, Lucky Gem and Gold Mine were neck and neck. Titan's jockey whipped him harder and as the photo was shot, Fool's gold managed to get a nose in front of Lucky Gem and Gold Mine. He won four other races before entering the one of the biggest races in the world, The Kentucky Derby. This time, Fool's Gold was the favorite and in the number five spot. Lucky Gem was in the number one spot and Gold Mine was in the twenty spot. As the gates opened Lucky Gem took the lead and followed by twenty other horses.
Titan was sixith as they came around thesecond turn, Lucky Gem was second and Gold Mine was in a close last. As they came down the stretch Lucky Gem took the lead and Fool's Gold was a neck behind, what the two jockeys didn't see was Gold Mine coming along the outside. Fool's Gold made it one length ahead of Lucky Gem but Gold Mine was gaining ground. Soon it was Fool's Gold and Gold Mine and Gold Mine won by a head. Once they came around the turn Fool's Gold went down, falling on his jockey's leg. They got Titan up but he didn't walk. They pulled him into a trailer and drove to the near by vet. His hind leg had been fractured bt would heal. In that time it would heal Titan couldn't race or run without feeling pain. Then they brought a beautiful black filly named, Money Maker. Titan trotted over to her and it was instant love, Money Maker felt the same way and soon, a little foal was on the way. A few months later Money Maker went into labor and had a little colt. But Money Maker died in lador and Titan could never see his son again, infureated he charged any human that came near him. Once his leg didn't hurt at all, Titan made his break for freedom. He lept over the fence and ran off. He then found this place and is looking for either a herd or a herd of his own.
