Training Strategy
Junior Years
Career opens with a 2000m Medium Make Debut. Then followed by an early 5,000 fan requirement. Focus mainly on Speed, with minimal Stamina just to stabilize Medium races. Power can come passively from Speed training.
Classic Years
Classic Year is Medium-heavy. Satsuki Sho (2000m) and Tokyo Yushun (2400m), then Long Arima Kinen (2500m) at the end. Begin Stamina training midway. Aim for C+ rank in Stamina before Arima Kinen. This is the key phase to establish endurance and stabilize long-race performance.
Senior Years
Senior Year tests Long-distance endurance. Major tests at Tenno Sho (Spring, 3200m) and a mandatory Arima Kinen (2500m) win, alongside Medium races like Takarazuka Kinen and Japan Cup. Stamina goes first. Followed by Speed. Remaining turns should fine-tune Power and Wit to maintain positioning and consistency for a stable URA Finale clear.
