Exceptional Producing is referring to his breeding potential, And yes you could get A papered colts out of him. Champagne is just his color.

Also, Exceptional Show horses refer to their showing ability and Exceptional Perfect refer to both showing and breeding potential -- similar to the Perfect Foundations, just with an added boost.

Exceptional Producing stock also are placed in the Era before they were created, so if he was created in Era 5, he and his foals will compete in Era 4 (If he is bred to Era 5 mares).

Breeding and Showing are only linked to certain extent. A good shower is not necessarily a great breeding horse, and a great breeding horse is not necessarily a great showing horse. Although some are really good at both.

Exceptional Show Horses will not have any more potential than a normal Foundation, so even though they are great showers, they are similar to breeding a normal create.

With a Perfect Foundation you are guaranteed a mare with the best foundation breeding potential. So your foals have to potential to be the best that they can be, but they could still 'swing' lower than 'the best' foals. If you breed the mare with another stallion with a 100% breeding potential, your chance of a really great foal increases more.

A good breeder will give you good foals, they could be good at showing or at breeding, or at both. The range of how good swings up and down independently on both breeding and showing.

Does that make sense? It took me a long time to grasp the concept, and even now I think I over-cull my stock -- if that is a thing!
