In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you’ve got tons of quests and challenges to tackle, each dishing out rewards like cash, carats, event tokens, and more. One of the toughest is winning 30 races in a single career. It’s a grind that needs careful planning and a bit of luck with the right racer and support cards. If you’re stuck on this challenge, this guide breaks down everything you need to nail those 30 wins.

How to Win 30 Career Races in Umamusume: Pretty Derby

With only 74 turns in a career, you’ve got to map out every move to max out your stats and hit all the races. Below, we’ve got a sample turn-by-turn plan, including the racer’s stats and the support cards used to pull it off.

Use Bakushin for the Best Chance to Win 30 Races in Umamusume: Pretty Derby

Sakura Bakushin O is a beast if you pump up her speed. Her unique skill gives a solid speed boost when she’s out front in the second half of a race, making her a killer pick for Mile and Sprint races as a Front Runner.

Here’s the game plan:

  • Early on, train stats with the most friends to unlock Rainbow Friendship training faster.
  • Stack speed-focused Umamusume support cards, though a Wit card can work too.
  • Speed is king. If you’re fast enough, you don’t even need much stamina since you’ll leave everyone in the dust.
  • Training cycle: grind stats until you’re out of energy, run two races, then rest. Repeat.
  • Always go for Rainbow stats when possible.
  • Only train if the fail chance is under 30%—higher risks injuries.
  • Hit the infirmary ASAP to fix any conditions.
  • Pick Legacy Uma with the highest speed potential.
  • Rest before summer camp if you can. Training there boosts speed like crazy.
  • RNG can screw you over sometimes. You might fail a 3% risk or lose a race for no reason. Keep running careers until you hit 30 wins.
  • Avoid running three races in a row too often—it can tank your Uma’s stats or health. This plan has Bakushin doing it three times, which was risky.
  • Good luck forgetting Sakura Bakushin’s laugh after a few runs.
