Ok. SO PT score is really the only thing in the game that we really can't control. Max Boosting has the possibility of boosting it slightly. Just like consistency does.

I've found, personally, that as PT scores goes up your breeding ability has a tendency to go down. Now with Max boost if you get lucky and get that high pt pop, you can boost them back to the breeding cap and still be able to double boost them (yay!)

There is a HUGE variance of where foals pop. I was breeding 2 double boosted 15.3 pt horses earlier and I didn't have a single foal pop higher than 14.4. I had one as low as 13.9. Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you don't.

Personally I will Max Boost my bootstraps and then make them consistent to see if it pops. But then again I cloned 11 horses from a perfect max 15 pt foal and only 1 had the luck to go above 15.0 pt. (when you clone there is a chance for pt to go up or down). This is really bad for me because mine typically pop "at" the pt of the clone or slightly above. But 10 of them got negative values when I cloned them (14.7, 14.8, etc)

Not sure if my rambling mess makes sense.

I have found that if you clone a horse at 15 pt and it gets a negative value you can max boost + make consistent and bring the cloned foal back up to 15 pt.

Yea it can but with max boost it typically goes back up to the original clone. It was super frustrating to clone 15 pts and get 14.7 pts clones. They can go up to 5 points in either direction.

Luckily the max boosts make it much easier. :)

That really is not true. Max boosting gives you the max possible PT from training ability you can get. It does NOT guarantee you any amount of increase. If a foal is already near the top of what it can be you won't see any change. Max boost CAN up the PT by a lot but not if you are already at the top of what is possible.

If a 14.1 is what you get from max boosting then a 14.1 is the MAX those parents can create (with some possible wiggle room for consistency) Since you made this horse perfect consistency you know that 14.1 is indeed the max you will ever get from this pairing.

What causes a horse to be a dud as far as or goes?

Every horse as a genetic quality that I can pass on to its foals. Some horses are better than others. You are breeding for over-cap horses. What you can get from boosted horses is not what you can get from naturally born horses. Because there are so many variables based on what you are doing with boosts I can't speak to the hypotheticals of your herd. You would have to link actual horses for me to give you specific answers to the examples you gave.

Ok thank you both for the explanation! I was thinking the max boost would effect the PT score more.

Thanks for taking the time to look at her!
She is double boosted but I must have miss-labeled her. (I tried to compare her to her mother earlier today but it kept timing out on my phone) she is a t3 so 5% above breed cap.

So I guess I can throw all of my T3s into pasture since they can’t hit 15 pt ^_^
