If they are low enough PT to be leveled off and are consistently placing last, they are not worth showing and are better off in the pasture. If they are still training, it might be worth giving them a couple of weeks off, then showing them to see if their score has improved enough to place better, depending on what show level they are on (L or R, probably not worth it. N or W, could earn a decent number of points if they get into the top half of the class.)

Shamroc breeding ability and PT score are two separate things. A low PT means a horse is not going to be a great show horse, but can still produce very good foals. If your horse is an Expro then they will produce good foals.

@Shamroc As said breeding ability and PT score are not related and a low PT will not mean a horse will produce low PT foals. A good breeding horse is more likely to produce foals with a higher PT, but a high PT is not a reflection of a higher breeding ability than a horse with a lower PT, when comparing similar horses. I am not sure where your math came from.

Here is an Expro mare I have, her PT score is only 6.2, yet her foals are all at least 10.7. Even though her PT score is low she produced foals with higher PTs because she has a good breeding ability.
