Both A Papered. Pretty much IDENTICAL genes. One has White, one has Dun.

T H R Y H M 11 A Papered

HELP.

I would personally keep the first one- Television Redemption based on the fact that barring everything else, he has 2 copies of sooty and has a slightly higher PT while the 2nd one only has one copy of sooty. I am not familiar with your breeding goals but with every generation of foals I breed, I aim for foals that are as homozygous as possible across the board.

I would also keep the first one. Based on your barns I came to the conclusion that you breed a lot of sooty.

I would also keep the first one just to avoid any issues with the lethal w gene!

Keep both. Breed each one season and see who throws the better foals. PT doesn't really have much bearing on the breeding quality of the colts, just the showing quality of any spelds you have.

I'd comp test them to their sire and each other of they test superior to they're sire and aga each other I'd keep the one I liked best

First i would comparison test them against their sire and if they both test superior i would comparison test against each other. If they test AGA, i would keep them both intact and breed them to 10 mares each when they turn 3. I would test all the resulting foals and look at the two studs AFPT and keep whoever has the higher AFPT intact and snip the other :)

I agree on the comparison testing/breeding them both. I like the white because there's that little black area on him...the sooty probably won't matter too much because i10 is such a dominating color.
