Hello! I have a mare who landed pretty decent on AALB's with her first embryo/foal this month. She was ~#35 AALB and around ~#15+ for XAALB and JAALB, but when I bred and implanted her second embryo, she gave me a EWW colt and dropped a few placements. However, I checked her today and she's nowhere on the LB, so I'm just confused whether a mare can drop that much off of the LB's because of a bad foal or is this just specific occurance for embryos.

Also, to get her back on the LB's this year should I geld that second embryo foal or would I just have to wait for next season? Link to mare

Thank you!

Today I learned that if you check a horse's LB placement between 40 and 50 minutes of the hour (ex: between 8:40 and 8:50), their standings might not show up because that's when the code refreshes in the game to update rankings. So looking at her page now, she is still at those rankings you described haha

Edit: So no need or reason to geld the foal ;)

^This! You can also double check a mare's placement on the boards by going directly to the LB itself during this reset period.
