About

The Training Center Academy from Umamusume: Pretty Derby, home to various Umamusume. What are Umamusume? They inherit the names and souls of horses from another world, possessing "tails and ears" along with "superhuman running ability." Gathered at the educational institution known as "Tracen Academy," they work hard every day with their peers toward their "own dreams" and "races." What is the "Twinkle Series"? A nationally popular sports entertainment where Umamusume engage in intense races. After the races, a "Winning Live" is held to share the joy with fans, and the Umamusume who wins the race is granted the right to stand at the center. Many Umamusume dream of succeeding in the Twinkle Series.

It is not held during the Junior period, but during the Classic and Senior periods. Fan Appreciation Festival: A school event at Tracen Academy. The Spring Fan Appreciation Festival corresponds to a sports day, and the Seitei Festival corresponds to a cultural festival. It is open to the general public and is popular among fans as they can meet famous Umamusume. These are biannual events. Winning Live While the songs used for each race differ, lives are held regardless of the race grade, from the "Make Debut" which is the first battle for a racing Umamusume, to the highest-grade G1 races. For G1 lives, specific songs are tied to the nature and positioning of the race, and standing on that stage is an act that carries a certain responsibility. There are multi-person lives as well as solo or small-group Winning Lives. Many trainers are moved to tears seeing their Umamusume singing at the center (or having missed the victory and settling for being a back dancer). There are specific costumes for Winning Lives, and before they have their own Racing Suits, they may perform in these live costumes. Regarding Umamusume Ear Ornaments Umamusume with an ornament on their left ear inherit the soul of a mare (female horse), while those with one on the right ear inherit the soul of a stallion (male horse).
