Plot In a world very much like our own, great racehorses of the past have a chance to be reborn as “horse girls”—girls with the ears and tails of horses as well as their speed and endurance. The best of these horse girls goes to train at Tokyo’s Tracen Academy, hopefully moving on to fame and fortune as both racers and idols. Anime The first season features Special Week, a high school horse girl from the countryside who has just transferred to Tracen. She’s determined to fulfill her promise to her mother to become the best horse girl in Japan. On her way to school, she visits the race track and instantly falls in love with Silence Suzuki’s style, becoming determined to race on the same team as her. The story is based on Special Week’s race in 1997 to 1999, but is not necessarily based on historical fact. The second season features Tokai Teio as the main character and draws focus to other side characters such as Mejiro McQueen, Rice Shower, and Mihono Bourbon. Like the horse she is based on, she suffers multiple injuries and struggles to remain one of the best races. The story continues from Season 1, but the content is based on Tokai Teio’s races from 1991 to 1993. The third season features both Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond as the main characters, focusing on the relationship between the two, which will end up becoming rids on the racecourse. All while Kitasan is at odds with the crowd favorite in the racehorse Duramente. The story continues from Season 2, but the content is based on Kitasan Black’s races from 2015 to 2017. Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Road to the Top features Narita Top Road as the main character and her risky with TM Opera O and Admire Vega. It is based on the 1999 classic race. Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era features Jungle Pocket as the main character, and her risky with her contemporarys. She meets Fuji Kiseki and aims to be the top racehorse. It is based on her debut race in 2000 to the Japan Cup in 2001. Manga Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray Depicts the fierce races between Oguri Cap, who comes from a local race, and riddles of the previous and next generations. It is based on the races from 1987 to 1990, during the last years of the Shōwa era and the early years of the Heisei era alongside Tamamo Cross, Inari One, and Super Creek. Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Star Blossom Depicts the races of Sakura Laurel and her riddles such as Narita Brian. The story is based on races from 1993, before Sakura Laurel’s debut. Video game Part 1 of the main story begins with Oguri Cap’s retirement and Mejiro McQueen’s debut in 1990, and covers the Special Week races in 1999. Part 2 of the main story features Rhein Kraft, Cesario, Air Messiah, and Daring Heart. In reality, those four horses were born in 2002 and competed in a number of races, including the Oka Sho in 2005, where they finished from first to fourth.[4][5]
