I've noticed that some horses on the breeding leaderboards (top sires and mares boards) have very low ratings, both themselves and their progeny. I know that qualifications are supposed to be determined 75% of the individual's strength and 25% off its foals. However, there are some horses that have both terrible ratings and foal ratings that are still on the boards. You don't see it as much on the eventing boards, but on some single discipline boards, you can see ratings like Sub-E-S. I know a single discipline boards only looks at the one discipline potential, but I'm not sure how the existence of such a rating is even possible since CC shares traits with both other disciplines, let alone be strong enough to be on the leaderboard over PEPs.
There are horses on breeding leaderboards I would never breed to based on their ratings and breeding performance; but I have horses I've bred that do enormously better that aren't on any board. I don't purposefully breed with the goal of hitting leaderboards (though it would be nice), but this just doesn't make sense to me. Anyone care to shed some light? :)

Selective single discipline breeding stables have carefully picked through generations of stock to get their horses as strong as they are. SD boards only focus on one discipline, hence allowing these SubES horses to be on the boards. Just because another horse has higher ratings in the other disciplines doesn't mean they're stronger since the boards only care about the one rating. |

Even though CC shares traits with the other discipline, they're inherited seperately. So just because a horse has a low rating in the other disciplines, it can hit the leadboards in CC. That's true for all three disciplines. A sub in D or SJ doesn't effect the CC traits.
