Keep training the categories where they appear until the friendship bar turns orange (Tier 4). This unlocks friendship training, which boosts stat gains and lowers energy cost. Aim to activate friendship training with every Support Card character by the end of Year 1.

Best stats

Once you begin a run with Maruzensky in Career Mode, make Speed your top training focus. Aim to hit 900+ Speed before the main event kicks off. If her other stats, like Stamina or Wit, are already at decent levels, keep grinding Speed to maximize her front-running advantage.

After Speed, shift your focus to Stamina. Aim for around 600 Stamina by the end of Year 3. You can safely skip Power since she won’t be doing much overtaking as a Front Runner. Instead, invest in Wit and get it to at least 400. Wit is also essential for activating clutch skills like Early Lead and Concentration. Plus, training the Wit stat boosts energy recovery, helping the horsegirl stay in good condition for training and keeping morale up throughout the run.

Best Support Cards

For this build, set up your Support Cards to boost Speed as much as possible once friendship training is active. Go with a 4 Speed, 1 Stamina, and 1 Wisdom loadout.

Best skills

The best skills for her should boost her early-game lead, help recover her Stamina mid-race, and enhance training consistency or stat growth.

Maruzensky in Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a fast and reliable Front Runner built for Turf Mile races. With strong Speed, steady Stamina, and Power, and a solid support setup, she can maintain her lead with ease.
