A guide to complete the February Stakes race in Umamusume: Pretty Derby

As we stated above, the February Stakes race in Umamusume: Pretty Derby pops up during Senior Year. To enter this race, your horsegirl must have at least 12,000 fans. It's one of the toughest races you'll compete in, and it being on a Dirt track does not make it any easier for you. If you want the best chances of winning, you should follow some of these pointers:

Dirt track proficiency

The Dirt track is never easy to compete in. If you are using a horsegirl with low experience on such a track, you are setting yourself up for failure. We urge you to opt for a character who has an 'A' in dirt racing. Ensure that you use Legacy Umas to bump up their rating to 'A' prior to the race.
