Umamusume: Pretty Derby Guide – How To Win Libra Cup (August 2026)

The Libra Cup is a mile race that will take place from August 28, 2026, to September 3, 2026, in the Champions Meeting. It will be held on Hanshin Turf 1600m Outer and Right track. The weather will be cloudy during the month of fall, but the track conditions will be firm. You will be preparing your racing Umamusume with the above conditions in mind.

How To Prepare For Libra Cup

Oguri Cap Umamusume Pretty Derby.
Oguri Cap works well on Mile tracks.

The Libra Cup is a Mile race, so both Speed and Power will be the key stats to focus on. Maximize both of these stats to make your Umamusume zoom past other racers. Stamina will be your second priority, and Wit will be third.

  • Speed: 1600
  • Power: 1300
  • Stamina: 1100
  • Guts: 500
  • Wit: 1000

Recommended Umamusume To Use In Libra Cup

Champions Meeting Umamusume
Some of the best Mile Racers you can use in the Champions Meeting.

Any racer with an A base aptitude in Mile will work well; you can also further improve the Mile aptitude with the use of sparks to at least S. You can improve their aptitude for the Turf tracks as well.

The positions where you risk losing the least stamina are Pace Chaser and Late Surger, so Oguri Cap and Taiki Shuttle, and Narita Brian will perform well in the race. If you are able to maximize your stamina as well, then go for a Front Runner, and both Seiun Sky and Maruzensky are excellent choices.

Recommended Support Cards To Use In Libra Cup

Daiwa Scarlet Umamusume
Daiwa Scarlet is a good pace chaser for mile tracks

We recommend getting the Swinging Maestro skill from either a Rice Shower power card or Super Creek stamina card. This skill combined with high stamina will keep your racer ahead. Go for the Narita Top Road card as well, as it unlocks the Firm Course Menace skill, which suits the condition of the race track.

The Oguri Cap Power Support card also has some good acceleration and velocity skills. You also get the groundwork skill, which increases your acceleration at the start of the race. This is particularly helpful for front runners, who need to position themselves well at the beginning. This card also gives you Furious Feat, which is helpful for passing if you are running from the back.

If you have Silence Suzuka Speed SSR as a front runner, equip that to get the unrestrained skill to get more acceleration. For Pace Chasers, you can acquire Neck and Neck skill for acceleration from Daiwa Scarlet Power SSR. If you have Taiki Shuttle Speed SSR, you can acquire Mile Maven, which increases speed significantly if you are positioned towards the front.

You can also use Riko Kashimoto or Tokai Teio Speed SSR to get the Rushing Gale skill for acceleration. Beeline Burst is another helpful skill to increase velocity, which you can obtain from Nishino Flower Speed SSR.  For your Late Surger, you can acquire On Your Left for acceleration through the Nice Nature Wit SSR card.
