Breeding for stats: if your parent horses have 42 and 43 for speed, then the foal is very likely to get 42 or 43, a bit less likely to get 41 or 44, and very unlikely to get 40 or 45. It's possible to breed "perfect" stats (meaning that all three skills have the highest number possible for the grade) without having perfect stat parents, but it's easier with better parents.

When the difference between parent horses is massive (eg. breeding a G1 and G5 together, so one has 42 and other has 54), the foal is more likely to get bad stats for their grade. It's fine to breed G1 and G3, even G1 and G4, but I wouldn't go any higher than that unless I wanted to breed for some new colour lines in the lower grade horses.

Breeding for colour: there are common, uncommon, rare and very rare colours. You're more likely to get a common colour foal when one of the parents (or their parents) is eg. chestnut or bay. Paying attention to the horse's pedigree will help to anticipate what you might get.

Some tips for colour breeding: Breeding two tobianos/overos (so any type of coloured/pinto horses) will result in solid colours most of the time. Breeding a solid to a coloured is about 50-50, but breeding a solid who has coloured horses in the pedigree to a coloured horse is the most likely way to get a coloured foal. Rabicanos, dappled, grey or champagne horses don't follow this - two champagnes will pretty much always give you another champagne, and rabicanos too.
