on

Speed alone won't win races—discover how to perfectly balance your horse girl's stats for any distance!

Learn how to optimize your horse girls’ training in Umamusume: Pretty Derby for every race type—short to long—with stat targets, build tips, and expert PvP insights. 

1. Understanding Core Stats in Umamusume

Before jumping into optimization, it's essential to understand what each core stat actually does—and why blindly maxing Speed isn’t always enough.

  • Speed: Determines how fast your girl runs. Always a top priority.

  • Stamina: Prevents collapse before the finish line—crucial for longer races.

  • Power: Affects acceleration and movement during tight corners.

  • Guts: Boosts your final sprint and helps reduce stamina drain.

  • Wisdom (Wit): Improves skill activation and overall race intelligence.

✅ Golden Rule: Always prioritize Speed first, then specialize based on your chosen race type and running style.

2. Optimal Stat Spreads by Race Distance

Each race type rewards different stat balances. Here's your cheat sheet to building winners:

🏁 Short-Distance (1000–1400m) – “All Gas, No Brakes”

Stat            Target
Speed900+
Power400+
Stamina300+
Wisdom300–400
Guts~

Training Focus:

  • Speed is everything—train it ASAP.

  • Power helps with early sprints and quick turns.

  • Ignore Stamina unless using closers.

πŸ‡ Mile Races (1500–2000m) – “The Balanced Build”

Stat            Target
Speed800+
Stamina450+
Power500+
Wisdom400+
Guts300–400

Training Focus:

  • Balance Speed with Stamina for mid-race bursts.

  • Wisdom helps trigger recovery and speed-up skills mid-race.

Stat            Target
Stamina600+
Speed700+
Power500+

Guts400+

Training Focus:

  • Balance is key—slightly more weight on Stamina.

  • Power enables better positioning during tight competition.

πŸ† Long-Distance (2500m+) – “The Marathon Specialist”

Stat            Target
Stamina800+
Guts600+
Speed700+
Power400+
Wisdom400–500

Training Focus:

  • Stamina is non-negotiable. Without it, you’ll collapse.

  • Guts ensures your girl still has fuel in the final stretch.

3. Advanced Training Techniques

🎽 Training by Running Style

Escape (Front-Runner):

  • Speed 900+, Stamina 700+, Power 800+

  • Avoid Wisdom too low—it reduces race control.

Stalker (Mid-Pack):

  • Power 800+, Wisdom 800+

  • Strong in overtaking late but risky without good Stamina.

Closer (Late Surger):

  • Guts 900+, Speed 700+, Wisdom 500+

  • Must conserve stamina early and explode in final 400m.

πŸ’’ Mood Management Matters

  • Great Mood (Blue Arrow): +20% stat bonus during training

  • Bad Mood (Red Arrow): -20% penalty — rest or use Wit training

Always schedule major stat training sessions during Great Mood phases for optimal gains.

πŸ”— Support Card Synergy by Build

Card Type            Best For
Speed SSRsAll builds (especially Escape)
Stamina SSRsMedium & Long races
Power SRsShort races or Stalkers
Wisdom SRsMile, PvP consistency
Guts SRsClosers only (Gold Ship, etc.)

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: A maxed SR card is often better than a low-level SSR!

4. Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Overinvesting in Guts – Only needed for Closers
❌ Neglecting Wisdom – Low activation rates = fewer key boosts
❌ Ignoring Track Conditions – Soft/heavy = more Stamina needed
❌ Copying JP Meta Blindly – Global version pacing & banners differ

5. The Stat Training Roadmap (F2P to Pro)

🐣 Early Game (1–3 Months)

  • Focus on Speed + race wins for gems

  • Learn training mood, drills, and race types

  • Don’t chase long-distance builds yet
