All rank specials that are not specifically stated to be Exceptional Producers or Exceptionally Perfect are Perfect Foundations. They are the best ordinary creates can be and are guaranteed to have 100% breeding ability--the very top of the C/Yellow breeding level, 100% showing ability--9.9 PT, and perfectly consistent, meaning they will always have exactly the same score both times they show in a given week.

As annismyrph has said, this is where most horses in the game begin. I would definitely plan on breeding them.

@OopsDotCom nope, the only way to see if a horse is a Rank Special is by their "somatic tattoo" which shows above their genetic test results, it's the little image that will say the name of their Herd Helper (like Stars & Stripes). Foals that are bred from parent horses cannot be Rank Specials, it's just a foundation create thing. So two Stars & Stripes horses will have normal foals that inherit their genes just like other foals :)

Hope that helps.

@OopsDotCom I suppose you could see it that way :)) What makes them more valuable and rare is that their gene combinations are unique or very unlikely to occur in regular creates :) For example, some Rank Specials guarantee a copy of Dense Pheomelanin or Pearl, both of which are rare genes! So the Rank Specials are a good way to find rare combos of genes in foundation horses, and they WILL pass those genes on. It just won't give the foals the rank special "name".

Again I hope my explanations make sense :D There is a lot to learn.
