I should break down how each was chosen.

Sultan came along because I really needed a 2nd race horse and he was the first T4 Friesian. None of my neighbors had T4 Friesians back then and were not even breeding T3's. I got him after many attempts and started leveling him, I had to use the same T3 pair to spawn Senka and she took AGES. I had over 20something T3 Friesians by the time I got her, it didn't help that a twin event came along about half way through trying to get her and just totally overflowed my grand stable. I had been hoping to have Senka as the racer but the wheel of fate chose to spawn Sultan weeks before her. When Sultan hit 15 he only had 1 weather skill, he obtained the 2nd during a steeplechase after max level.

Solstice was bred to replace Malakai who was my first Gemini III and my first racer. I had to influence solstices weather skill pre 15 because it had taken a lot of cost and effort to breed him. At over 100k per breeding I ended up with 5-6 bad eyed horses before he came along so I wasn't about to leave his weather skill purely to chance. Luna the female has the same colored eyes as him but was never a candidate to replace Malakai because she skilled up as rain/ice during the leveling wheels which rendered her undesirable. Such a shame as she was the first horse bred from Malakai and could have saved me a lot of time and gold. I would have accepted either gender during Solstices breeding attempts but he was the first with "good eyes" in the batch.

Mars..well you know his story but I was rooting for Juno actually 😂😂. Both have blue eyes but Mars has the light shade where Juno has the more teal blue.
