Absolute v's Realised Potential
The examples below are from my flat save. My expectations are for my flat horses to maximise their realised potential as 3yo or as 4yo. When they reach 5yo their realised potential starts to drop in my save.
What I would like to see is a very small tweak to the realised potential. Both examples below are of yearlings.
The first horse will never go on to realise his full potential but the second horse will probably do so as a 4yo.
On average I breed about 5 of the first horse every season and they go on to be good handicappers but if I am lucky only one of the second horse every 3 seasons. I am not looking for Frankels every season but would like to see the realised potential tweaked by about 5% so instead of breeding one of the second horse very 3 seasons, I would settle for one a season.
