DP has it. The only way PT moves is through improving consistency in the GMT lab or by maxing the horses potential.

If you are going to MAX and BOOST you should MAX FIRST then BOOST SECOND.

Maxing has no era penalty and will just take the foal to the best possible breeding and showing the parents can produce. Consistency is not affected. So a foal can make a big jump or a little jump in scores depending on how close they were to max before.

Boosting will add the 5% to the breeding ability, there will be a -1 era penalty. The others would be a better expert on if it affects PT or consistency.

The caution with boosting is that you want to make sure the foal is pretty top notch before boosting. Say for example you have a really crappy foal out of some great parents. After the 5% boost the foal might still be worse than both of his parents and would fail SBA testing. Since you're investing real life money into boosting, I would want to be pretty darn sure the foal is going to turn out top notch before spending my money.

Can you boost with IVs? I thought it was only real life money.

I'll be darned, you can buy them with IVs. It probably has always been that way and I just didn't realize it or forgot because it's out of my price range IV wise.

Yes there has always been a way to buy with IVs for as long as we have had boosts in the game.
