My White Chocobo has nine racing abilities, and it's awesome. I need to write up a guide for making a moneymaking Silver Chocobo and a racewinning White Chocobo sometime. :D

Couldn't resist ^^

Silver Chocobo still trumps it, but I couldn't build my Silver Chocobo the way I wanted as I had given it defensive abilities that had forced the racing abilities out, and I couldn't put them back in.

So Silver is even better than Gold? At the minute my Gold Chocobo is the best, but should I switch to building up my Silver then?

I don't think it really matters- if you are dominating with the Gold there is no need to waste fusions on a 2nd racing choco. Just make sure you can get close to 800 strength and 800 magic and 5k health.

I think either will be fine to win most races. Some abilities the Silver has will allow you to make coins faster, but the Silver is also a pretty good SEN for your party and you may want to give it abilities that are good for battle.
