The Team Trials races in Umamusume: Pretty Derby allow you to assign Uma girls to five different race roles:

• Short
• Mile
• Medium
• Long
• Dirt

You must assign a well-trained character fit for the role in order to take your first step towards victory. For instance, Sakura Bakushin O is excellent for Short races. Naturally, assigning her to the Long race category will result in losses.

Therefore, assign a well-trained Uma girl to the role that fits her well. The races are simulated, and victory depends on factors such as strategy, team composition, Support Cards, etc. The more you win, the higher your score on the leaderboard.

The Team Trials scoreboard resets every week. Therefore, you will find your score to be zero at the start of every week. You must compete and accumulate points in order to get back in the lead. Now, let's discuss how to win.

Naturally, you need to assign the right character to the right category. You get points when the character has appropriate skills for the race category assigned to them. So, use Uma girls with high Power and Speed for Short races, and high-Stamina ones for Long races to earn more points.

Here are more pointers to keep in mind while participating in the Team Trials races in Umamusume: Pretty Derby:

• Use Support Cards that boost your character's core stat. This will help them perform better in their given category.
• Prioritize skill learning. Skills like Final Corner and Last Spurt will always prove to be helpful across all races and characters. Also, train skills in areas where your characters are lacking.
• Don't use two Umamusume with the same running style; otherwise, they'll become a problem for one another, costing you points.
• You can use items to boost your characters' Mood. Characters with better Mood stats will perform better in races.

These were some pointers to keep in mind while building your team and before you start the race. However, they may not be enough to take you to the finish line if you haven't trained your Umamusume properly.

Train Power and Speed in your Uma girls. If the Power stat is too low, your runners may not be able to reach their highest potential speeds in time. Train the Guts stat for your characters so that when they are the Front Runners, they can run just fast enough to outperform the opponents in the Team Trials races in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.

Lastly, train your runners' Wits stats to help them keep their positioning during races, and always focus on Support Cards and valuable skills before entering Team Trials races in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
