From the FAQ:
How does a stallion or mare get on the Best Producers leaderboards?

Stallions need 10 foals to get ON the leaderboard, and after that the top 25 foals count towards the ranking. So the more foals, the better his chances of moving to a higher ranking.
Mares need 3 foals gets them ON the leaderboard, and the top 10 foals count towards her ranking
A horse needs to have had a foal in the past 2 breeding seasons, aka a living yearling, or a two year old, to qualify.

I believe it looks at the quality of foals produced, but I don't recall whether it looks at the foals' breeding scores or their PT scores.

I think it looks at both breeding and PT scores, and can calculate them without having the foals tested.

@jawth9 He may not be a good breeder. But I'd say chances are that there is too big a gap between him and the mares you are using. Can you link him?

Tarma- too big of a spread?! thats a thing?? Well then that is the reason. He was a *Star and I was breeding to my yellow and red mares.

Jawth9 the thing that helped me understand was that the game doesn't neuter bad breeders, but rather the ones that are NOT AS GOOD as the parent (s). So if you breed a star stud to a yellow mare, the foal will be way better than the mare, but fail when comparing to the stallion.
