Re: Some Stats reducing in breeding barn

Every horse whether they go to the Barn or continue racing will see a drop in potential. How much depends on the horses lineage. My flat horses are only good until 5yo and my jumpers are only good until 7yo, then the potential bar starts to drop. Thereafter the potential drops about 10% per year.
Thanks Wannabe
Just to be clear, i'm talking about max potential falling (light green). Ive seen the effect Deterioration has on the achieved Potential (dark green) after 5.
I'm also seeing drops in Speed(vertical bar) as well as other stats.
As Deguassed indicated, i'll be retiring horses out of the barn within a few seasons now.
The reason this came about was i managed to buy a freak stallion at auction very early in my game (16 x G1 wins) so i was using him to lift the bloodlines.
Eventually the new horses were looking good so i went to compare the freak to my latest top 5 year old stallion and realized the drop in the old boys stats.
