Oh yes, the grey one with white braid is Orlov. I love them all, but for some reason Black Forest looks a lot better now than it did earlier (and yet it was always pretty). So excited to see the horse models in game soon. I think we're getting close now, so we should get them before summer.

The perfect starting stats go up with 3 points with every star grade, so 1* - 42, 2* - 45, 3* - 48, 4* - 51, 5* - 54, 6* - 57, 7* - 60, 8* - 63, 9* - 66, 10* - 69. Her speed is max, but as the other two stats are on the lower spectrum (more like 2* than 3*), I would keep trying to get a better one. My rule is that as long as speed is max (and preferably with highest bonus points) and the other two stats are within 3 points total of the max, I'm keeping them. So eg. 3* with 48-46-47 or 48-45-48. I wouldn't keep one that is 48-45-45, unless they were expectionally beautiful colourwise. I have a 7* with 59-57-56, which I won from a live event, but he's a black rabicano so he's not going anywhere unless he gives me a black rabicano son that is better than him XD

I haven't bothered breeding perfect-perfect stats. I have a 1* with 42-42-42 and she's no better than the predecessor at 42-40-41. As long as your horse has good stats, live events are more down to your horse's preference (distance and track), skills (speed boosts that can be sometimes won from the live events or bought with money), strategy (where you run, how you run, etc) and luck (having AI opponents that keep up with you thus allowing your sprint bar to fill faster but don't take over, being able to keep close to rail, etc).
