Umamusume: Pretty Derby features several missions that involve racing challenges. The most popular among these are the Triple Crown races. Winning these races can be tough unless your trainees have the right stats and abilities. It can also be quite frustrating when your racer comes close to winning but loses at the last moment, so maintaining consistency is key.
The Triple Crown mainly includes medium- and long-distance races. The longer races are more difficult if your racers lack stamina, and having high speed is necessary for more steady wins. The Triple Tiara races are generally easier, but they still require solid stats to succeed.
What Are Triple Crown Races?
The Triple Crown is the most prestigious series of races in the game. Winning all three races in a series means you’ve achieved a major milestone, and you need your racers to place first in each. The main Triple Crown series are:
- Classic Triple Crown
- Senior Spring Triple Crown
- Senior Autumn Triple Crown
- Triple Tiara
It’s possible to win the Classic and Senior Triple Crowns in one season if your schedule permits.
How to Win the Classic Triple Crown
The Classic Triple Crown includes:
- Satsuki Sho (early April, medium race)
- Japanese Derby (late May, medium race)
- Kikuka Sho (late October, long race)
Winning the Classic Triple Crown is a mark of excellence. Top contenders like Symboli Rudolf, Tokai Teio, Biwa Hiyahide, and Mihono Bourbon are already attempting it in their careers. If you don’t have these characters, focus on trainees skilled on medium and long courses, like Gold Ship, Special Week, and T.M. Opera O, who have these races in their careers.
During your Junior Year, train to boost your speed and stamina. Aim for at least 350-450 in speed and around 300 in stamina. Because the schedule for Satsuki Sho and the Derby is tight, focus on training both speed and stamina at this stage.
For Kikuka Sho, which takes place later, you’ll need a lot of stamina. Use Summer Training to build stamina up to about 450-500, especially with skills that recover endurance like Swinging Maestro, Hydrate, and Straightaway Recovery.
How to Win the Senior Spring Triple Crown
The series includes:
- Osaka High (late March)
- Tenno Sho (Spring) (late April)
- Takarazuka Kinen (late June)
In your senior year, the goal is to secure the Senior Spring Triple Crown. It’s easier to win if you’ve been working on your stats during the Classic Triple Crown. The races here are medium and long, so your stamina needs to be higher—above 400 for medium races and 500-600 for long races. Power is crucial if you’re a late surger or end closer, so aim for around 450-500.
Start stamina training early, especially before Osaka High, as there isn’t enough time afterwards. After Tenno Sho, shift your focus to speed for the Takarazuka Kinen, aiming for at least 500-600 in speed, with 600 being ideal.
Popular trainers like Mihono Bourbon, Symboli Rudolf, Special Week, and Tokai Teio have proven records in these races. Also, increasing your Medium aptitude with the right legacies and sparks can help.
How to Win the Senior Autumn Triple Crown
The most challenging of all, this series closes the runner’s career and includes:
- Tenno Sho (Autumn) (late October)
- Japan Cup (late November)
- Arima Kinen (late December)
Success here requires your racer to be highly competitive with strong stats, as failure may mean starting a whole new career. The races are spaced out, giving time to boost stamina—aim for around 700 speed for the long races and approximately 600 stamina for medium distances. If you’re a late surger or end closer, a power of 550-600 helps.
Prioritize training speed beforehand, as completing these races demands excellent pace and endurance. You should focus on friendship training within your limited days to boost overall stats effectively.
How to Win the Triple Tiara
The races:
- Oka Sho (early April, mile race)
- Japanese Oaks (late May, medium race)
- Shuka Sho (late October, medium race)
The Triple Tiara is held concurrently with the Classic Triple Crown but is more suited for mile and medium-distance racers. These races are easier for beginners due to a focus on speed rather than stamina.
Daiwa Scarlet and Air Groove are the primary racers who participate in all three, but Daiwa Scarlet is generally easier to train for as Air Groove requires you to improve mile aptitude. Minimum speed should be around 450, with 500-600 being optimal. Stamina needs are lower for mile races—around 200-300—while medium races require 350-450. For Air Groove as a late surger, boost power to at least 300 for better chances.
Training with these guidelines and focusing on the appropriate stats increases your likelihood of winning these prestigious races.
