I'm going to guess she is a much better horse than he is. He looks like a very low A and I believe she is a very high blue. She would cross well with the same stud you use for those two low gold satin mares.

why did he get gelded? he is superior to his dad even he should have passed. this game its has a glitch or something I'm getting so frustrated all the higher papered horses I breed are getting gelded and spayed everyone one of them but one even when the parents should be a good match I don't know what to do anymore

Unfortunately he got gelded because his sire was inferior to HIS sire (your foals grandsire), which means that he would have brought this foals quality down when compared to the dams side. By Gen 9, you should expect Star*, and your stallion papered A (his sire was Star*).

Both the sire and dam of this particular cross are unevenly bred, which means the quality is skewed and not able to be 'predicted' within the slight swing in range of PT and papering, that you can expect when breeding two horses together.

For example, I bred one of my mares last season to one of my stallions, and got a G4 Blue mare - I did the same match this season and got a G4 Red mare.

The new testing will crack down on uneven breeding in quality and spay/geld the foals who are a result of that.
Uneven breeding of generations is frowned upon through some players, but I breed my mares to stallions of the same quality, rather than their generation - however I do not breed pairs more than 2 gens apart as that causes too much of a quality 'swing' in my opinion, which would result in less intact foals with this new testing, that focuses on comparing the foal to both sire and dam.

Does that make sense? I have a tendency to write essays! :D

I thought the uneven breeding didn't matter anymore that's what I was told. And that the game does not know about a horses pedigree

This post shows you what intact/altered ratio you can expect to get for a given amount of unevenness. Perfectly even ability crosses with a full 30 days in the pasture will produce greater than 50% intact with strict breeding advice and near 100% intact with regular breeding advice.
