I hope that helps a bit.
It is just that I personally do not have enough space and time to do the whole process of duplicating the pair or mixing his genes with another mare just to get a better heart gene and then focusing on the score (yet again). It personally seems like a waste of time to me considering that I could do it with better horses.

But the whole reason as to why I came back to my 'slower' horses and not focused on my 01:58 ones is because my 01:58 ones currently are not mixing well with my mares so I wanted a few new 01:58 minute ones in hopes of adding new good genes and helping my 'stuck' stallions.

So the option of breeding them is low on the list right now unless I find a good mare for them.
I am thinking about selling them though so I am trying to weigh the pros and cons here and I am kind of stuck because in my eyes I am opening my private lines with (semi-)immediate access to my world record holders, they have good HGP, temperament, they are still young, trained, good scores but have a bad heart gene (and for players that have not worked with my lines before the speed confo might not be the best for them)

This really does help though, thanks a lot!

Yep, figured XD I just got surprised because they truly are good racers they just don't seam to be able to pull firsts XD





They come from really private lines that I have worked really hard on :lol: If I were to sell them it would be for a really high price that I am sure not many players would be willing to pay. First of all both of them are the 2nd generations of my world record holders, meaning that the players that would buy them would have access to my world record lines.
Honestly, the only drawback about them is the heart gene lol (I have horses with worse speed confo ,56, that run 01:59.09 mins so I really do not care about the speed confo)

A 01:59 minute stallion's foal is worth around 5 million let alone a horse's that has almost gone below 01:59 mins. Many players will rightfully be skeptical about paying a high price for them because there is only the proof of written words that they have actually given these results in locals.

I know that these stallions with the right mare (that has a good heart gene) will give amazing foals, I just do not have the time to breed them to my horses and work on that heart gene especially when I have other better horses that I can work on.

"I know that these stallions with the right mare (that has a good heart gene) will give amazing foals" this alone holds me back from selling them, because they would give good foals with the right mare and they would actually be sold for far less.

So again it will be really hard for me to sell them because I want to sell them for a high price. The weak heart gene really lowers the price that they would have been sold for. I am probably going to put them up for offers and see what I get though I am 99% sure that I won't sell them due to the offers being lower than what I want them to be :lol:

Hmm, I agree with you. It is just that I do not have space, time and patience to work with them :lol:

This one is by far the weirdest. In local shows he has given me a score of 01:59.04 minutes (in comps he has given me a 01:59.89 minute score) but his win percentage is absolutely awful!

I have another similar horse win and under 2 minute score (not as good as the one above) but a better win %, what about him then?

I always count the local show time as my horse's fastest time, so should I rehome them or keep then and breed him to my horses in hopes of getting a 01:58 minute stallion?

He has given me a score of 01:59.23 minutes in locals but from the first few comps that I have entered him in he seams to be doing poorly. Should I keep him for the same reason as above or not?
if you want to rehome them just give them to me instead! :lol: :lol:

Again I am skeptical about them (that is why I made this post :lol: ).

This stallion can either through really good offsprings or really bad. With the right mare (that has a good heart gene) they can throw 01:58 stallions for sure (especially the 01:59.04 minute one). So I would generally price them high but this is unfair for some players which is understandable.

So I will probably keep keep them private (and not even sell them or stud them unless I get really high offers which understandably will not happen :lol: )

Yep though I am willing to give you a free foal of theirs just to see what will happen ;)
