Who Is Haru Urara in Umamusume: Pretty Derby
Haru Urara, or Bestest Prize, is a unique 1-star character that defied expectations with her specialized racing conditions. She clears the Dirt surfaces (A-rank) over Turf (G-rank), making her one of the few characters excelling on dirt courses. When it comes to distance, she performs best in Sprint races (A-rank) and Mile races (B-rank).
However, she struggles to perform in Medium and Long distances (both G-rank). This makes her an exceptional Late Surger with secondary capability as an End Closer (B-rank). Also, it allows her to conserve energy early in races before making decisive moves during the final stretch.
She has 20% stat growth bonuses to Guts training and 10% to Power training, supporting her late-race surge. Meanwhile, its skill “Super-Duper Stoked” provides endurance recovery when positioned toward the back during the final corner. This complements her role as Late Surger, making her potent at higher levels.
Where Should You Focus
While building Haru Urara, make sure to distribute the stats to maximize her effectiveness in short-distance dirt racing. Here are the recommended stat targets that you should use:
-
- Speed: 900
- Power: 800
- Stamina: 600
- Guts: 400
- Wit: 400
Prioritize the speed to enable quick acceleration and overtaking maneuvers during the late-surge victories. Followed by power, which provides burst acceleration over crowded fields during the final stretch. Meanwhile, her stamina suffices to accomplish most career objectives as she focuses on Sprint and Mile races.
You can also build some stamina buffer to help her survive in longer races like the Arima Kinen. Don’t neglect Wit entirely in her build, as proper skill activation will depend on your character’s intelligence levels. Make sure that Stamina and support stats will assist your early Speed and Power development.

Put Turbo Sprint on top of your priority skills for straight-line acceleration during matches. Then, the Late Surger Corners to maintain speed through turns while Sprinting Gear to secure early-race positioning.

How To Play Haru Urara in Career Mode
It won’t be an easy career path to pursue Haru Urara in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Most of her challenges centered on early objectives around fan accumulation instead of race victories. After debuting, you need to reach 5,000,900 and 12,000 fans respectively.
Due to this, you will need to race her frequently in Dirt Sprinting and Mile events. However, high-grade Dirt races are often limited in the game, so prioritize G3-G1 instead. This provides you with maximum fan gains, supplementing with OP races when necessary.
As much as possible, avoid overracing at the expense of training, bypassing the proper stat development for racing. The ultimate challenge begins when it arrives with races like JBC Sprint or Arima Kinen. For the Arima Kinen specifically, focus on meeting minimum stamina requirements (600-650) to survive the longer distance.
Previous legacy sparks from successful racers provide crucial stat boosts in Speed and Power. Characters like Special Week will offer skills and stats that match Haru Urara’s racing style.

However, she shines more at the end of the race with her Late-Surger capability, which you’ll need to take advantage of.
