I think a gray black pearl with gray reduction and snowflake sounds beautiful! That's almost exactly like something I was considering doing as well. Gray pearl is starting to look even better to me than gray champagne because I love classic champagne best, but for some reason that metallic sheen just isn't as good on gray classic champagnes as it is on gray gold champagnes. The gray pearls get that wonderful sheen and stay nice and dark. That color combo sounds like a beautiful idea to me.

Personally, I avoid chimeras for GMT projects because of the extra tokens it takes, unless I mean to do mostly RGS edits since those will go on both strands for the same amount of money, or my whole idea is to have two particular different coat colors mixed. You can also change the inheritance of once strand and just edit that one, so you still have a chimera but save on the GMTs.

About the color clubs, I started doing the same thing after the clubs were all updated a while ago, aiming for the ones with smaller populations thinking that they would be less competitive. But then I started thinking, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will be easier to win, and just because there are more horses in another club doesn't necessarily mean it will be harder to compete there. A few months ago I actually accidentally won awards for 2G points earned in a couple of clubs I wasn't even paying attention to. So I think it's more important to look at how good are the best horses in each category for the club you want to aim for rather than how many horses there are total. Sometimes I think the rarer colors that were probably GMTed on might also be being bred by players who intended to aim for the leaderboards of those color clubs.

I didn't know that paying real money would put the gene on both strands of a chimera! I don't have hardly any extra money this month, but I was considering coughing up the $10 for two copies of pearl.

You mentioned on my other post that limiting the chimera passing on only one strand of genes doesn't change his potential to throw slightly more chimeras than a normal horse. So maybe I'll stick with him, pay for pearl in real money and just try to reroll until I get a splotchy look instead of the stripey look.

I can see where you're coming from with the leaderboard theories. I've been playing for a few years now, but only just starting to contemplate the leaderboards.
