Wouldnt breeding him to 2G mares lead to foals that no one wants due to uneven pedigree?

Okay thanks. I bought some G2 mares from Cheers that paper red but even their PT scores are lower. So far the highest PT mare I have is 10.2 and she's not papered. I'm sure she's a red.

I think we'll all be making some drastic changes in our herds. :)

Remember it not even generations we need to worry about its even ability ( Ammit keeps saying it and we keep ignoring her) . If you breed him to red papered mares and try to pick mares who AFPT is around the same area as his. His PT has nothing to do with his breeding ability that affects his showing, Its his AFPT that you want to look at . Since he is foundation you cant compare his AFPT to his sire , When his Colts are old enough you want their AFPT to be better than his. Ammit did say somewhere by about how much you what the AFPT to improve but I cant remember what she said.
Breed him to Red papered 1g mare if you want to keep gens even as well but the important thing is that they are they same ability which is so much easier to gauge now we can paper mares at birth.
You haven't papered him but he is a RS and I think his RS normally paper as B which is equal to Red . This testing system that Ammit has set up is awesome and extremely helpful in working out breedings use it to the highest level you can depending on upgrade level.

If the Rank Special creates Exceptional Producers or Exceptionally Perfect horses, the stallions will paper B. If the RS creates Perfect Foundations, they will paper C. Until last fall, there were no exceptional horses in this game, as a general rule. Then Ammit decided that the game had grown enough that we should have them too, so newer Rank Special horses may be Exceptional, but not all of them are. There are still Rank Specials that produce Perfect Foundations.
