I dont really know...
This is the Stallion:

Kapten Hunter

And this is the mare:

Ghost Lady

You do know that the stud is 2g B and if I had to guess the mare who is foundation bred is most likely yellow. So a little unevenly on the foal. What did the foal paper?

Here is the offspring:

SZ Ghost Kapten

@Stefliz, as best friend was mentioning, breeding advice is a test that determines if a foal will be a breeder about as good as both sire and dam. Previously, breeding advice compared colt to stallion and filly to mare only but that's another issue.

If you are looking to have best chance of getting an intact foal from a breeding, I would suggest breeding equal quality. You can find many threads that go into great detail about what this entails. The basic idea is paper level determines the approximately breeding ability of a horse such that you want to pair C to yellow, B to red, A to blue, and star* to gold*.

I hope that helps explain things a little. :)

EDIT: Also, PT does not indicate breeding ability. It has to do with how long a horse will train before it levels off and I think the number of points it will accumulate - I'm not as knowledgeable about the specifics. I do know that you cannot judge a horses breeding ability/quality by its PT score. The average foal PT of a horse does indicate its breeding quality.

I'm a relatively new player, but I wanted to also add another thought. I think it's important to remember that both intact and altered foals are a success! I've noticed a tendency to put the emphasis on getting intact foals - as if that's a win and a foal that is altered isn't.

I know we'll make more money off of horses that were altered. When I first started it was easy to feel disappointed when a foal didn't pass inspection. I've had to learn to celebrate my geldings and spayed mares as much, if not more so, than my intacts.
