Post Absolute Potential
I am still very interested in the detailed horse stats.
This is one i bought at start of season 2's 2y.o auction
Bought for £1,382,900

I followed a few tips from here, notably a player who only bid for 2 y.o's over £1m and only got involved if at least 2 other trainers bid.
The question is, can absolute potential go up, or is it set when they are bred?

So absolute potential cant go up?... am looking to advance my game and hopefully breed some superstars so best way is to get rid of anything wiith less than 75% absolute potential as could only be 105 rated at best but from looking at other horses trainers on here have if horse is 90% + absolute potential and never reaches this potential on track it is still worth breeding from.

Absolute potential can go up but not by much probably maybe by 1 to 2 percent max a year which over time adds up. In my experience houses that never reach full potential can pass that on in that the offspring can do much better than parents.
