Chocobo racing is based on the stats of your Chocobo. In order to progress up the ranks you need to feed your Chocobo Greens to increase their stats. To the right is a list of the effects of the different greens.
You can feed a Chocobo a number of Greens at a time, but be careful as they will stop having an effect after a while and you may end up wasting a lot if you are not careful.
After your Chocobo can not be raised any more, head to Gold Saucer and go to the Chocobo Square.

There are many reasons to breed Chocobo's but the main one is for Special Chocobo.
For each Special Chocobo, there are some requirements which will be detailed below.
The other main reason to breed Chocobo's is to get better stats for the races.
This section will focus on the Special Chocobo, how to get them and what they can do. To the right is a list of the Nuts that can be used to breed Chocobo but, to be honest, you don't need to buy any as the only ones that matter cannot be bought anyway (Except at Gold Saucer) and can be gained from enemies.
The Carob Nut is gained from an enemy called Vlakorados in the Icicle Area (On the grass, not the snow) and can be stolen from it. It does have a lot of HP so if you don't succeed first time, you can try a few times per battle.
The Zeio Nut is dropped or Stolen from Goblins. They can be found in the forest on Goblin Island, north-east of the Chocobo Ranch.
