One question thunder if I may, are you making multiple copies of the same horses with the stats you want to increase your percentages of passing that trait down your lines? I messed about with this myself, and it was how i got extra speed into a wider range of distances, but it is pretty dull to do and I gave up on it after a few seasons. I do tend to copy those horses that set a new bar into each of my games, but like to mix it up now to avoid the issue with having the same parentage on my best horses, I also tend to set my barns with a ten to one ratio colts to fillies to further break away from this. Dilutes the stats more than I would like but makes it less of a chore.
No I don't make mutliple copies of horses. It's not necessary but I guess it would work.
I usually send 2 emails to the people who request some explation.
The first email explains why sometimes breeding your best horses is not always the best way. Most of the time it will work. But eventually they will no longer improve. The horse's stats will actually capped out and you wont see any progress anymore.
The 2nd email is the actual step by step way of improving it in detail. This is the tedious part of the process.
If you leave your email or you can email me and I can send the first part which should explain some things. It might give you some ideas that you can incorporate into your breeding. The explanation should be enough and you can breed your own way since not everyone would want to do it the way I do it.
