In Umamusume Pretty Derby, the JBC Classic Race stands out as one of the most unpredictable and demanding G1-grade trials you’ll encounter. Unlike other races with fixed conditions, the JBC Classic throws a curveball by randomly selecting one of four different tracks, each with its own set of rules, direction, and distance. This randomness can disrupt even the most carefully planned training routines in your URA Finale run.
