On March 31, 2011, art director Ridd Sorensen stated regarding his designing of Ace that Call of the Cutie's "script called for a rather unimpressed 'Tennis Pony', so [he] thought it'd be funny to go in a 70's/Royal Tenenbaums kinda direction" and that "[t]he original version [...] had chest hair that was deemed too 'human like', so [he] changed it to fur." Ace's name was previously used for a G1 Earth pony boy. Ace being the fourth best tennis player in Equestria was stated by Ridd Sorensen before Top Trumps. Ace's cutie mark, hidden by clothing, has been specified by Ridd Sorensen differently in early April and late May, respectively, of 2011.
