but the real secret is to win match for affinity boost.
Every 1st place in common across each of these lines is +1 affinity. 1 ring is 50 affinity. 2 rings is 150 affinity.
So if maru and taiki suck ass, you can funnel them into a horse that doesn't suck as much ass, and have that horse run all the same races they did, and boost their affinity to the final child by as much.

In the future this is changed so it's only G1s that count but they're worth 3 instead of 1. I suspect people were getting too much easy affinity by running a fuckton of babymode G3s and producing guaranteed double rings.
