Id wait just to breed and test. Like maybe do a LC and an embryo her 4yo season to see the quality and then decide. I do that with my lined babies sometimes :)

My foundation stock is almost entirely exceptional producers and I have fairly strict standards for papering and AFPT but only about 24% (137 of 567) of my SBA passed 4th gen mares paper gold and I don't automatically spay blue papered fillies until 5th gen (although I have required 4th gen colts to paper star since I got enough of them to breed all my lines). Starting with mostly regular create foundations, you can expect it to take an extra generation. On HJ2 (now the Forest Server), before that server had exceptional foundations, gold or star at 4th gen was possible, but exceedingly rare (well under 1% of my SBA passed horses even with strict culling standards, although I never calculated the exact percentage).
