Trivia

 * In 1st Anniversary Animation, she stares directly at the camera and the viewer, as if she could see the "fourth wall".
 * In the second 1.5 anniversary story and her overall personality, it is strongly implied that she knows the existence of the players as she addresses them as "everyone" while staring directly towards the viewer.
 * Her voice actor Honoka Inoue is a daughter of Kikuko Inoue, Sasami Anshinzawa's voice actor.



Real Life
"She was a thoroughbred like a fighting spirit itself. She made me find joy as a jockey. I just appreciate her."

- Eiji Nakadate, jockey on her Sprinters Stakes

Aston Machan is a racehorse from the middle of the 2000s. She fought with Daiwa Scarlet or Vodka, and won Sprinters Stakes at the age of three. Unfortunately she was affected by X Colitis and passed away at just 4 years old while training for the Takamatsunomiya Kinen.


 * Her name comes from Aston Martin and her owner's nickname "Ma-chan".
 * She is the second filly who won the Sprinters Stakes at the age of 3, next to Nishino Flower.
 * She does love cameras in real life too but there is only one picture (I could personally find) where she looks straight towards the viewer. It pales in comparison to other camera-loving horses (e.g. Fuji Kiseki's son, Isla Bonita).
