I am now about 7 seasons in an loving every minute of the breeding. Got to say, a winner in the league will feel a lot better doing it this way, rather than the old quick breeding.

I've decided to have 2 breeding programmes going in my game. I'm breeding my very best CK horses with each other, these are all mostly between 85 an 95% potential now. Occasionally if I find a beast of a game horse I'll use that in it too. The other side is just about finding new lines an higher potential, so my really high potential bar fillies that aren't really that good in CK, I use with all the stallions from the game who record the fastest times in the big races. These are to try an get that 100% potential, but also to try an get some more good blood into my CK lines further down the line. Spreadsheet already on the go

Full Bar 5YO who was not up to much on the track but no choice to breed to him

I'm going to keep it simple, a nice slow game without really using the CK. I'll go a different way to everyone else. I agree every winner will feel extra special now.
