Learn how each race length in Umamusume Pretty Derby affects training priorities, stat focus, and optimal running styles.
Every race in Umamusume Pretty Derby is characterized by its length: Short, Mile, Medium, or Long. Horse girls have different aptitudes for each type, and their training should be tailored according to the track lengths they will be facing. This article details the distance of all race types, the stats to focus on for each one, and the best running styles suited to them.
Racing Event Lengths in Umamusume Pretty Derby
While picking a horse girl for Career Mode or a racing event, ensure that she has an “A” aptitude rank for the track distance she’ll be running. Track distance applies to both Turf and Dirt events; however, Long races are not available on Dirt tracks.
Short (Sprint)
Short races or Sprints are between 1000m and 1400m long. The main stat for this race is Speed, and it must be maximized for optimal performance. Front Runners are at an advantage in this event, since the short distance offers very little time for uma in the pack to overtake those ahead of them.
Mile
Mile racing events are either 1600m or 1800m long. Speed remains the most important stat during this event, with other strategies besides Front Runner becoming more viable. Additional cornering and overtaking requirements increase the relevance of Power in this event.
Medium
The track length of Medium races varies from 1900m to 2400m. Races of this length allow all running styles and builds to shine equally. After Speed, Stamina gains greater relevance for this event.
Using a stamina-replenishing (blue) skill like Swinging Maestro is ideal to stay competitive without investing heavily in Stamina training. There is still a small chance for uma to get blocked by the pack ahead of them, maintaining the importance of Power.
Long
A true test of endurance, Long races range between 2500m and 3600m. Compared to the other events, long-distance races appear less frequently in Career Mode. Stamina is the most important stat for races of this length, and the specific running style you choose has little consequence. Stamina-replenishing and passive bonus skills are especially valuable.
