Uma-Specific Tips
Any rewards mentioned for completing a series of races is affected by your Race Bonus.
Agnes Tachyon If you run Satsuki Sho (the third goal) with your mood at normal or below, the fourth goal will change to NHK Mile. Since Agnes has a D in Mile normally, this isn’t ideal, so make sure your mood is up.
Curren Chan In late May of Senior Year, there’s an event with the President. After this, there are three races, which if you win them all gives you bonus points. These are Hakodate Sprint Stakes (Late June), Keeneland Cup (Late August), and Centaur Stakes (Early September). Winning these will give you 25 energy, a mood up, 15 Speed and Power, and a hint for Sprint Gear. Since these are all in or around summer, it’s likely only worth doing if you have bad summer training options.
Gold Ship Sometimes, Gold Ship locks out 4 of the training options. When this happens, you can go for a race, rest, or date if the training isn’t appealing.
If you win the Takarazuka Kinen (Late June) twice, then you will receive a mood up. The bottom conversation in the event will either give Charming, or the “Gatekept” skill. The skill isn’t harmful for Gold Ship and reduces your score, so it can be something to go for if trying to make a B uma for Champions Meeting.
Haru Urara To reach the fan goals required for the unique skill level ups, the JBC Sprint in Early November and the Champion’s Cup in Early December are enough if you come in first in both. You need 12,000 fans to enter these races.
Mayano Top Gun Her Shapeshifter event (win a G1 as each style) even gives her a good accel for every style, but isn’t added until later. She also gets Fast Learner guaranteed if she has 600+ Wit when “Maya’s Love Advice?!” triggers, making her appealing for chasing high scores. Normally, getting Fast Learner on a run is like a 4% chance (outside of the MANT scenario). You can just quit your Mayano runs when they hit that event early and try again, once you’re able to do Wit builds (or inherit it).
Mejiro McQueen If you win the Fall Triple Crown in Senior Year, you’ll receive +15 Speed, Stamina, Guts, and Skill Points. These races are Tenno Sho Fall (Late October), Japan Cup (Late November), and Arima Kinen (Late December).
Narita Taishin In early December of Classic Year, there’s an event where Taishin receives 3 mood downs and Poor Practice. After Nikkei Sho, the next goal, the Poor Practice will be cured, and you’ll receive 15 all stats and 63 Skill Points. However, if you cure the Poor Practice trait, then you’ll receive Practice Perfect◎ (練習上手◎), a more powerful version of Practice Perfect, and 20 all stats and 70 Skill Points instead. It can be tempting to not cure Poor Practice when you get it, but in this case, you should deal with it for the benefits. These numbers are affected by your Race Bonus.
Rice Shower The race that most often kills Rice Shower runs is Tenno Sho Spring, her sixth objective. Make sure to have 600 stamina by this point. If you have less, you might have to buy recovery skills for safety.
TM Opera O If you win the Fall Triple Crown, you’ll receive +10 all stats and 20 skill points. These races are Tenno Sho Fall (Late October), Japan Cup (Late November), and Arima Kinen (Late December). You can do this both in Classic Year and in Senior Year.
Tokai Teio Completing the Spring Triple Crown in Senior Year will give you +25 Speed and Power. These are Osaka Hai (Late March), Tenno Sho Spring (Late April), and the Takarazuka Kinen (Late June).
Vodka Winning the Queen Elizabeth II Cup will give you a mood up.
