The Racing Hearts Beauty in Bloom event is here, spotlighting the Wedding Banner with boosted drop rates for (Sunlight Bouquet) Mayano Top Gun and (Quercus Civilis) Air Groove. Each has a 0.75% chance of dropping, which is tempting, but with Carats being so valuable and future banners on the horizon, is it worth pulling?
Should You Pull for Wedding Air Groove?
Only go for Wedding Air Groove if you’re a big fan of her character. Her stats aren’t the best, and her unique skill is tricky to trigger, making her a risky pick for your Carats. She’s decent for Mile races but doesn’t stand out enough to justify the cost for most players looking to optimize their Umamusume roster.

The biggest issue with Wedding Air Groove is her unique skill’s low activation chance, tied to a specific mid-race position. A future patch will make it trigger as soon as the position condition is met, but for now, it’s unreliable for competitive Umamusume racing strategies.
Should You Pull for Wedding Mayano Top Gun?
Wedding Mayano Top Gun is a solid pick for Medium and Long races, though she’s not essential. She’s versatile enough to train as a Front Runner, Pace Chaser, or End Closer, making her a strong choice for the upcoming Gemini Cup and Team Trials. Her stats and skills make her a reliable distance runner, but you might want to save Carats if you’re chasing top-tier Umamusume characters.
