Epithets are earned during your playthroughs of the URA Finale mode. Unlike basic titles, they’re not handed out casually; you must meet specific requirements in a single training run. Think of these as behind-the-scenes goals — like winning every G2 race or hitting a stat cap that you won’t even see until the very end.
After finishing the URA Finale with your Uma Girl, the game shows you which Epithets you qualify for. From there, you can select one to assign to that particular trainee. Each of them comes in one of three rarities:
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
Higher rarity Epithets generally indicate more challenging conditions and appear as borders on your trainee’s profile and in race modes. Among many, here are some notable Epithets and how to earn them:
1) Legendary Diva
- Win 5 G1 races
- Clear the URA Finale
- Have 320,000+ fans by the end
2) Legendary Horsegirl
- Must be done in the Make a New Track scenario
- Unlock either the Charismatic Horsegirl or Heroine epithet
- Get both Spring Champion and Autumn Champion
- Reward: Grants Homestretch Haste hint +1
3) Princess Horsegirl
- Play Make a New Track scenario
- Participate in the League of Heroes Extra Stage race
- Earn Heroine Epithet
- Win Queen Elizabeth II Cup (Year 2)

4) Best Horsegirl
- Earn Charismatic Horsegirl Epithet
- Win two of the following: Tenno Sho (Spring), Takarazuka Kinen, Japan Cup, Tenno Sho (Autumn), Osaka Hai, Arima Kinen
- Reward: +15 to two random stats
Each one of these requires a different strategy, and many of them demand a specific race calendar, stat goal, or scenario type. Some even tie directly into specific training modes like Make a New Track, which can change how you approach the entire playthrough.
