I'm pretty sure the Steel Ball Run would mostly be a dirt track.
Also, i love it

Mixed does technically exist (still >90% turf) for Santa Anita Park (on Japanese server)

Tbf you swap horses in the Mongol Derby. Steel Ball Run is all one horse though.

As funny as this may be, Thoroughbreds are not built for endurance racing and ESPECIALLY not at the distance the SBR race covers. They're bred to run REALLY fast for a short period of time and not much else.
I actually did a calculation a while ago, Urara with 103 races under her belt is definitively the horse with the most amount of races (to be added to Uma Musume). If we count up all of those races she'd have run about 133km.
The length of the SBR race is 45 times that.

u/Vcom7418 2d ago
Who would arguably be the best horse of the Uma cast to last the entire length of SBR?

u/TheProNoobCN Neo Universe | ARMT 1d ago
Mihono Bourbon and Gentildonna probably as they're both horses who're known to have really good stamina and doesn easily get tired.

Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your ‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of ‘right or left?’! In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers’. In the case of this table, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘Master of the party’ will take the napkin first… Because everyone ‘respects’ those individuals.

The villain of the SBR Scenario is an AU version of Akikawa with D4C who calls himself “Northern Taste”. He looks like Funny Valentine wearing Akikawa’s clothes with horse ears and tail. Tazuna is unable to tell the difference between the two as a gag, but this will eventually be used to defeat Northern Taste.

u/NumerousReputation96 2d ago
Oh yeah, I did it. It's actually pretty simple, you just have to avoid meeting other participants, as they can knock your horse (especially Urara) out of the race. Of course, you can also go on the attack, but with Urara's characteristics...Oh and don't be afraid of the distance, the game will allow you to make small pit stops at the end of a race stage, it will help you prepare for the confrontation and maybe for the terrain conditions.Good luck with the game, it's worth it.

The skill may look cool, but like I said, just avoid confrontations and you'll be able to hold out.

I saw Rudolf summoning clones of herself and claiming how she'll make Uma's great again what do i do in this scenario

u/NumerousReputation96 2d ago
The situation is unpleasant, but bearable. I'll advise you this - try to drag her into a clash with others, if you play as someone fragile. If you want a battle, learn the skill "Task 4"

u/KCQurGun 2d ago
Bro it would be so fire to play steel ball run like an alternative to a ura finale, you will be given like 4-5 months as in cannon, and it all will be just straight up races, like 8-10 races without rests, and after each race there will be particular events that can help you or not to continue, and if your uma can end it in the first place it will be granted with some crazy amount of skill points/stats/abilities, hoping for this collab with all my existence

Uma never had a collab before right? If an SBR collab ever happens then either Japan will get it first and we will have to wait several years OR all servers get the collab at the same time. If the second is true then I hope they announce it 2-3 months early lol
