I listed this one largely as an example as the of the 1/3 chance to pick a trait category from the mother it still gave me the exact result I was resigned to. the dreaded combat. I really strongly believe aside from categories removing both parents from influence the traits was hands down the worst thing they could have done. but that is more in line with a suggestion then a bug. the results would be so much more consistent if they just made all traits worth 10 points.
the above is however an excellent example of how I have got most of my 3-4speed draft and speed horses. almost always happen like this combat horse. usually from parents that have 2 speed and 2 draft or just one trait. so it seems to pick one of the 2 categories but it needs to fill them in or something I have no idea anymore. I just know that all of my tied animals between speed and draft give me the best results.
most pairs the alliance have that are 3 or more traits roll then dom category off. maybe I am unlucky maybe the animals on in this alliance is bugged but the 1 damn lucky 4 draft stud I got I set up for the entire alliance to use which has 4 breeders. the results so far have been the offspring either roll the category off completely for something else or ends up tied even when the other parent is 2-3 draft traits to. I asked them to post here to.

if both parents have 3 or better traits for a dom category like these draft i get:
but tied trait parents give me:
I have the various results in a spreedsheet thats been linked into dif places if people want to see the nonsense of how often I loose the dom category or loose up to 3 traits from the dom category of the parents.
the more traits in teh dom category the more likely I am to loose it completely.
friendly reminder the tied parents technically dont have a dominate category unless there is some wierd nonsense going on in the background.
every once in a while I do get good results from matched parents but its def the exception.
this being one of them.
I screenshot the new foals but I dont have them in my spreedsheet. I keep getting 100ql meat and hide off them so I ahve been farming the babies for that instead. results are much less frustrating when the point is to kill them.
