I'm working on a better benchmark system for my 3G mares because that mid blue range is a little muddy for me.

So far I have (from lowest to highest quality):


BlueRed Tester BlueHT2 2B (AGA a Red-papered mare, so the lowest possible Blue quality)


BlueLowBlue Tester Blue
(Superior to the Red-papered mare, AGA the previous Blue mare)


Blue2LowBlue Tester
(Superior to the Blue-Red tester mare, AGA the previous Blue mare)


HT1 3B SB2B 6055972
(Superior to the previous blue mare, but also worse than the following Blue mare who is AGA a *Gold papered mare)


BlueGold Tester Blue
(AGA a *Gold mare, so the highest possible Blue quality)

I'm trying to figure out the odd gap in the middle there with the horse that tests superior to the mid blue but worse than the low blue.

I don't have the ability to clone since I'm only a basic upgrade, but I've spent so much money on comp testing the last few days that that would probably be cheaper lol

But I did finally find mares to fill in that mid blue range so now my comp testing mare levels look like this. Each level is AGA the level before it and SUP the level two horses down.

High Red
Low Blue
Blue 1
Blue 2
Blue 3 - My guess is this is right around 115%
Blue 4
Blue 5
High Blue
Low Gold

So right now I'm requiring my second gens to test superior to the high red (so their quality should be at least a Blue 2). My 3rd gen mares should test AGA a Blue 4 so their quality is at least a Blue 3 (I tried testing a small batch against a Blue 5 and only half of them were AGA so I'll do that when I'm ready to seriously cull). Then right now my 4th gens have to test AGA the high blue but once I give my 3rd gens some time to adjust to the cull I'll start having higher standards for them.
