Horses have a higher chance of breeding out certain distance preferences baked somewhere into their DNA. Likewise, lets look at Different Gravey’s breeding chart heat map by distance for his offspring:Īgain from the above chart we can see that Different Gravey breeds out a decent amount of sprinters, but has a much smaller sample size of only 6 offspring.įrom these charts, especially Idol Meaning’s, we can see how our theory plays out. Here is Idol Meaning’s Breeding chart heat map by distance for his offspring from the Know Your Horses website:Īs we can see from the above image, out of 27 offspring Idol tends to breed horses that favor sprinting. Here is an image of their offspring charts: Lets go back to our chosen breeding paid Idol Meaning and Different Gravey. Therefore, we aim to breed our Nak with either a Bute, Finney, or Szabo for example. Our theory also leans on the idea that mixing bloodlines produces the best offspring with the highest degrees of variance. Obviously, you are going to want a horse with a high base ability, so you are going to want to have a Nakamoto or Szabo somewhere in the bloodline. Here are some things to consider before choosing a pair of horses to breed. Therefore, we believe that horses have a HIGHER chance at breeding certain distance preferences out to their offspring that is apart of their DNA if you will. Now then, what they DON’T say is the degree or type of randomness used.

The horse’s variance is also randomly assigned at birthĪll of the above statements have either been confirmed, said, or basically agreed upon by either the Zed team or the community.

Distance preference is chosen randomly at birth by the algorithm.

Distance preference is NOT an inherited trait (If the parent is a sprinter, then offspring will not directly be a sprinter because of the parents distance preferences).

Now, there are a few very important things we need to understand before we discuss our theory. We are going to choose Idol Meaning and Different Gravey for this example. Lets say we want to breed two horses from our barn. We believe that offspring distance preference and a mix of bloodline are the two most important indicators for if a pair of horses will breed well together. Why might you ask? Well, we think there are simpler solutions. We don’t worry too much about odds, griffins, or the infamous 1600m indicator of a good breeder.

Most people might be familiar with the XYZ or Danshan theories, but ours is quite simple. We feel that we finally have an acceptable level of knowledge to do so and share it with you. With all of this, we have decided to start formulating and testing our own theories in terms of breeding. We’ve manage to qualify several horses for most tournaments, accumulated several hundred wins across our stables, bred a couple of ponies, and learned from some of the best in the eco-system. While we might not be known for breeding, or really for much in the Zed space, we have been learning a ton over the past few months! Nothing should be considered investment or financial advice. Welcome back to the Tribe! In this post we are going to go over our Zed Run Breeding Theory! To note, there are several plausible theories and plenty of discovery left in the game, so take this post at face value and make sure to dig into the data and resources yourself to determine your own theory!
