If so, good plan, I hadn't considered that. I especially do it with my mares because u only get around 5 good years with them though one mare kept her potential past 10. I race them up to the breeders cup in November then put them in the barn.

95% realized potential even if it does not go up at 3 4 5 or 6 thats some horse found the needle in the haystack
Gotta ask, what auction was this? End of year, weekly or 2yo?

It'd be good if Mark could create a little app for the league game so you could see the total number of 100 potential horses in game. Would know whether you want to continue in that game or start a new one with more chance of getting a beast then. Yet to see a 100% horse in my current league game by any age after 10 seasons.

Re: Monsters!!!!
I have a multi G1 winner 2m hurdle string and the same for chases on a different stable. I am getting nothing at higher distances and nothing beyond 85-90% potential. Have only about 2 horses in the export bin

Have only about 2 horses in the export bin After 9 seasons I can't find any hurdlers, my 3m+ chasers are decent but the most potential they have is 80 percent. I'm just enjoying racing my grandeaur family.
