Haru Urara (New Year ♪ New Urara!) has strong Dirt aptitude and performs best in Short to Mile-distance races, with Late Surger as her primary running style. Her growth rates favor Power (20%) and Guts (10%), supporting acceleration and short-race stability.

She has access to positioning and condition-based skills such as Prudent Positioning, Unyielding Spirit, and Shake It Out. Plus additional seasonal and work-related skills gained through awakening. These skills help her maintain back-half positioning and remain stable in congested short races.

Her unique skill, 114th Time’s the Charm, activates on the final corner and grants a velocity boost based on distance from the lead. Because this effect rewards trailing positioning rather than stamina management, she is most consistent in Short–Mile Late Surger builds.

Recommended Stats
Short	1200	350	1000+	450	600+
Mile	1200	500	1000+	450	600+

Short

Aim for 1200 Speed, 1000+ Power, and 600+ Wit. Short distances are decided by acceleration, positioning, and skill activation. Speed, Power, and Wit are the core stats. 450 Guts is sufficient to handle duels. Stamina is not a priority, as race length is short and her unique skill provides recovery.

Mile

Target 1200 Speed, 1000+ Power, and 600+ Wit to handle Mile races. 500 Stamina is enough to prevent early drop-off, supported by her recovery-based unique. 450 Guts helps with late-race resilience when closing from the back.

Training Strategy

Junior Years

Haru Urara’s early career consists mainly of Short and Mile Dirt races. Focus primarily on Speed and Power, with Wit as an important secondary stat to handle positioning and decision-making in short, congested races. Stamina is not a priority, as race distances are short. To earn Fans efficiently, run Short or Mile GⅡ/GⅠ races, which offer the best fan return.

Classic Years

Classic Year continues to emphasize Short–Mile races, where Speed, Power, and Wit determine most outcomes. Maintain these as your core stats, adjusting Speed upward as competition increases. Stamina investment remains minimal. Continue farming Short or Mile GⅡ/GⅠ races to meet fan requirements efficiently.

Senior Years

Senior Year ends with a mandatory Arima Kinen (2500m, Long, Turf) objective, which is not realistically winnable under normal conditions. Haru will normally lose to Arikma Kinen. Trainers attempting to challenge it must rely on strong parents with Long and Turf Sparks and heavy Stamina investment. Otherwise, continue prioritizing Speed, Power, and Wit to secure a stable URA Finale clear.
