The about as good as result on a comparison test covers a range of breeding ability that stretches from somewhat worse through somewhat better than the horse you are comparing another to. Obviously, these two colts are a little bit better than Halloween Dancer, enough to paper B instead of C. If they were mine, I would probably geld them and put them in my show herd, but I'm a pixel pony hoarder and keep almost anything.

To get a superior son to him your best strategy would be to breed him to the best foundation mares you have. It make take a while, but eventually it will pay off. Even better would be to put him in your pasture with some good mares as soon as possible, so that they will be closer to the 30 day peak of the mares' breeding advantage next month when the 14th rolls around.

Remember, patience is the key to getting anywhere in this game, which echoes the randomness of real life in almost every aspect.

I am not as strict as most, but a LOT of my stallions, I have never bred. I also keep almost everything. I am going through stallions now, that are older, that I never bred, and am gelding for show. So, if you aren't very excited with how and where they turned out. I would also geld them now, so you don't get into my situation, with a lot of stallions I will never breed. Geld and use them for show as long as they make you points, for the showing bonus.

High of mid I'd think, but he can't be that much better than your other stud unless the first one is a low B. a two edged sword.

I have a colt that is superior to a colt that is superior to his rank special sire. He also tested as good as an A papered 3G is I remember correctly, so he's pretty cool. Superior to sire is high-mid B in my mind, and the usual standard for most people as far as I've seen.
