Learn how to master the training system in Umamusume: Pretty Derby! Whether you're trying to win your first URA Finals or fine-tune stat growth for A+ team comps, understanding how training works is the key to building a champion.
In this guide, we break down training types, fail rate mechanics, stat priorities by race type, and pro tips to maximize your runs—especially if you’re playing the English global release.
π What Is Training in Umamusume?
In Umamusume, "training" refers to the mainθ²ζ (ikusei) phase, where you raise your chosen horse girl through several seasons and events leading up to championship races like URA Finals, Make a New Track!!, or Legend Races.
-
5 types of practice (stat training)
-
Rest
-
Race
-
Skill training
-
Fan meet or support events
Training is where the majority of your stats come from. Picking the right type at the right time is crucial.
π§ͺ All Training Types & What They Increase
Here’s a quick breakdown of each training option:
| Practice Type | Main Stat | Sub Stat(s) | Other Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Speed | Wisdom | Boosts sprint ability |
| Stamina | Stamina | Power | Essential for long-distance races |
| Power | Power | Speed | Affects uphill and overtaking |
| Guts | Guts | Stamina | Improves performance in last spurt |
| Wisdom | Wisdom | – | Adds SP recovery and skill points |
π‘ Tip: The more support characters gathered on one tile, the bigger the stat gains (especially once training level increases)!
⚠️ Training Fail Rate & Fatigue System Explained
Each practice has a chance to fail, especially when your Umamusume is tired. Fatigue is shown by:
-
Face icon color (green = good, orange = tired, red = exhausted)
-
Fail % chance in the corner of training options
| Face Icon | Description | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| π Green | Fresh | Train freely |
| π Orange | Tired | Train cautiously or Rest |
| π£ Red | Exhausted | Almost always Rest |
Training failures waste your turn and may reduce stats or cause injury status.
π‘ Best Practice: Rest when over 25–30% fail chance unless there's a high-stat training option with multiple gold/rainbow supports.
π Stat Focus by Race Type (Speed ≠ Everything!)
Each horse girl excels at different race distances, and your stat priority should follow suit:
| Race Type | Stat Focus |
|---|---|
| Short | Speed > Power > Wisdom |
| Mile | Speed ≈ Power > Wisdom |
| Medium | Speed > Stamina > Wisdom |
| Long | Stamina > Wisdom > Speed |
| Dirt Races | Stamina & Power are often prioritized |
π‘ Example: Tokai Teio (medium runner) benefits more from a Speed-Stamina-Wisdom balance than raw Speed alone.
π Training Level-Up System
Each training type (Speed, Stamina, etc.) can level up over time as you use it or trigger support events. Higher levels = better stat gains per session.
Watch for:
-
πΆ Gold training tile = multiple supports present
-
π Rainbow training = huge stat bonus from synergy
Smart strategy: Target training types that are close to leveling up for long-term value, not just short-term gain.
π§ Wisdom: The Underrated Stat
Many beginners undervalue Wisdom (θ³’γ). But it:
-
Reduces race RNG and chance of skill misfire
-
Boosts late-race decision-making
-
Improves SP gain during training
Don’t ignore it—especially if you're building for Mid or Long distance races.
π₯ Pro Training Tips for F2P & Rerollers
-
Bond First, Train Later: Early turns should build support bond (light blue to yellow link).
-
Track Training Value: Check stat gains, support card effects, and fail % every turn.
-
Use Skill Point Races: Some early races grant SP and bonus stats—great filler if training options are poor.
-
Avoid Overtraining: Rest strategically; don't get baited by high fail % "rainbow traps" too early.
-
Favor Consistency: Cards like Riko Kashimoto or Nice Nature (healer) are great for stable builds.
𧩠What About Skill Points?
Training doesn't directly give skill points, but:
-
Wisdom training adds a few SP each time.
-
Race victories and support events provide the bulk of SP.
-
Higher bond levels with support = better skills unlocked during training.
❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Overtraining on Red Condition (exhausted face)
-
Ignoring Wisdom and Power entirely
-
Rushing stat cap too early and neglecting training level-up bonuses
-
Not taking advantage of group training sessions

Mastering training in Umamusume is a game of long-term planning, risk management, and support synergy. Don’t worry if your first fewθ²ζ runs fail—every attempt teaches you something new!
