Parents to Try Making

Distance-Specific Parents

• These are the most useful since raising a distance aptitude to S gives the greatest benefit compared to surface and style
• Use your own uma that has a 2 or 3 star distance pink and borrow an uma with 3 star of the same distance. Train until you receive a 2+ star pink of the same distance and an acceptable blue or other factors.
• Do this for each distance to get a 7+ star uma for each distance. If the base uma ends up with a 2* pink, it will be a 25-30% chance of inheriting S with it, or if it has a 3* pink, a 35-40% chance.

Dirt Parent

• This is useful for fixing aptitudes for uma you might want to use in Dirt.
• Getting an S in Distance is better than an S in Surface, so we want the Dirt factors on the grandparents and a Mile factor on the parent, as parent factors are more likely to trigger.
• Use your own uma that has 2-3* Dirt pink and borrow someone with 3* Dirt. Train until you receive an uma with 3* Mile. Getting a Dirt pink is also fine and will let you use more Mile elsewhere.
• The chance of getting S Mile will be 20% and the chance of S Dirt will be 15-20%. With two parents like this, you can raise any uma with an E Dirt aptitude up to A with a chance of S.

End Closer Parent

• Useful for when End Closers are good i.e. where spurt start is very near or on a straight. Most of the cards that give Straightaway Spurt are bad or difficult to use, so it’s ideal to inherit.
• You want Cheerleader King Halo for her accel unique on Sprint and certain Mile tracks, and generic strong final leg speed uniques or Healer Grass/Sakura Laurel for Long.
• Use SSR Power Amazon which gives Encroaching Shadow. Also try to have parents and grandparents with the factor. (Is any of this in Global any time soon? I don’t remember)

Front Runner Parent

• As above, you can use Turf pinks to make a general parent, or make multiple with different distances.
• Ideally, this should be Seiun Sky, El Condor Pasa, or Kitasan Black.
• The white spark you’re looking for is Groundwork. This is an annoying skill to get for many umas and is often gained through inheritance. It also requires three green skills to activate, so any white sparks for green skills are a big plus.
• Another useful white spark is Tail Held High. This is a strong mid-leg skill to help you keep the lead, and also annoying to get from cards.

6 Star Style Parent

• These are mainly for uma who have a D or lower aptitude in styles that are favoured depending on the track.
• Keep the Style pinks on the grandparents and aim for Distance pinks on the parent itself
