Learn about the best characters for your Medium race team in Umamusume: Pretty Derby and what they bring to the field in Team Trials.

Medium races are the most common Turf tracks in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, with the majority of umas (horse girls) having an “A” aptitude rank in Medium races. Because of such an abundance of characters to choose from, players can find it confusing to form a medium-distance team for PvP. This guide suggests an optimal medium-distance group for Team Trials, with each running style accounted for.
Top Medium Races Characters in Umamusume: Pretty Derby for Team Trials
Front Runner: Mihono Bourbon

- Stat Bonuses
- Stamina 20%
- Power 10%
- Unique Skill: G00 1st. F∞;
- Speed bonus when positioned towards the front on the final straight without having a late start. Additional speed boost for remaining at the front until skill activation.
- Alternatives
- Daiwa Scarlet
Train Mihono Bourbon as a Front Runner for Medium races by keeping her Speed and Stamina at 1:1, preferably above 700. She also requires 500+ Power and front-runner skills like ‘Early Lead’ to cement her position at the head of the pack. With several long-distance race goals in her career, your training should leave Bourbon with enough Stamina for Medium distances, but add some blue skills for good measure.
Mihono Bourbon’s unique skill may not be enough to secure her lead in the final straight, so consider adding other powerful Final Leg skills like ‘Unrestrained’ (SSR Silence Suzuka) and ‘In Body and Mind’ (SSR Special Week).
Pace Chaser: Tokai Teio

- Stat Bonuses
- Speed 20%
- Stamina 10%
- Unique Skill: Sky-High Teio Step
- Greatly increases speed on the Final Straight if you tried to overtake another racer during the Final Leg.
- Alternatives
- Agnes Tachyon
- Biwa Hayahide
- Special Week
With ideal stat bonuses, Tokai Teio can easily balance Speed and Stamina training to keep up with front runners until the final corner. Once she reaches the final straight, her unique ability—one of the strongest in the game—activates, allowing her to reach top speeds almost instantaneously. Additionally, she has several innate positioning and stamina-recovery skills like ‘Prepared to Pass,’ ‘Hydrate,’ and ‘Head-To-Head,’ ideal for pace chasing in Medium races.
Late Surger: Symboli Rudolf

- Stat Bonuses
- Stamina 20%
- Guts 10%
- Unique Skill: Behold Thine Emperor’s Divine Might
- Greatly increases speed on the Final Straight if you have made three overtakes during the Final Leg of the race.
- Alternatives
- Mejiro Ryan
- Nice Nature
- Winning Ticket
Like Tokai Teio, Symboli Rudolf possesses a dramatic and unique skill that propels her to escape velocity in the final stretch. As a Late Surger, Rudolf requires marginally less attention to Stamina and a greater focus on Power to break through the pack. She can also make good use of debuffing skills and benefit from mid-to-late-race stamina recovery.
End Closer
With multiple Late Surgers to choose from, there is no need to include an End Closer on your team of up to three horse girls running Medium. Additionally, the only viable End Closer for the spot, Gold Ship, should be reserved for Long races instead.
