Is there anything I need to know about this? Does it work the same as on foundations, or can it only go to certain parameters based on the parents? My goal is o put a 5% boost on a foal that is better than sire already for the most improvement I can get. Would I be waisting the token, or does this sound good?

As far as I know you can put up to 5% total on any intact, unbred horse. No stipulations on what breeding ability or how much better/worse than their dam or sire.

I don’t think it would be a waste, especially if the boy you are adding it to will be one of your main studs for awhile. If he’s one you plan on replacing rather quickly, I would wait.

I got a son who is slightly better than my current dark star bred bootstrap stud. Waiting on breeding this month so I can look for any true superior to sire boys in that bunch to get the token, but planning on putting on whichever boy is best now that I have one who is better and then have a new boy to work on developing my line with as I cull all but the best mares and then let things grow again.

Yep, I did that when I got my first superior to my best Bootstrap boy. He got a 5% boost and it’s taken 3 rounds of breeding him (6 seasons) but now I’m getting AGA him colts. Hopefully in January I’ll get some superiors and be able to consider giving one another boost.
