Not sure how it works but each time you level up your chocobo he/she gains about 20-25 points of stats not including food distributed among the 5 stats category via RNG. So lets say one of those stats category is completely max out, well you still will get 20-25 points of stat growth just distribute among 4 stats category instead of 5. More experience breeder can chime in if I am totally wrong. XD
Ahh awesome thank you!

Everything you need to know, prior to 3.2.
at 20 stars, each level up, the game randomly picks from all stats that are not maxed (500/500), and increases it by 5. It then repeats this process another 4 times. So each level up you will get a total increase of 25.
You want to decide early on which 3 stats you want to max, and which stat you care least about (tip, it's acceleration). For your early level ups, you can start feeding grade 3s in any of the stats you want to max, but around say level 35 you want to stop feeding. This way you can see where your random increases are from levelling up, and when it gets to a point where the amount left is a multiple of 15 (eg 470/500) you can quickly feed it in that stat to reach cap. this just lowers the chance of you ending up at something like 495/500.
You don't want to do that too early as once you have maxed a stat in this way, it is then removed from the random possible stats the game can pick for your level-up increases (ie before it had 5 stats to pick from, so the chance of it picking acceleration is 20%, after maxing one, you only have four stats now, so it has 25% chance of picking accel)
Doing this is fairly easy to max three stats (actually it's virtually impossible not to), then you just want to get your fourth stat as high as possible, and just hope the game doesn't give you too much in accel (tho it hardly matters)
I ended up maxing speed, stamina and cunning, got my endurance to 450, with accel at 300, and I hardly ever lose. Think last time I lost I got hit by two meteors whilst one of the npcs had a hero tonic (the stamina hit I can recover from, but the speed drop makes it quite hard to take the lead again), I think I came 2nd in that race
Cheers took a sneak peek at that site and has some great info on it:) Quite happy with my chocobo right now and i have only lost one match due to 2 unlucky frenzy's and a meteor. And even that was a close call. So i would call it a journey well spend!
Time to get some MGP with these challenges haha!
