Pretty Derby Gacha Rates and Spark Pity Rules

The standard character gacha banner in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is the Pretty Derby Gacha. The banner offers trainee horse girl characters distributed across three base rarity tiers: 3-star (3★), 2-star (2★), and 1-star (1★).

The official base rate for a 3-star character is 3.000%. When a specific character is featured on rate-up, that character has an individual appearance rate of 0.750%, accounting for 25.0% of the total 3-star character drop probability. Base 2-star characters have an 18.000% appearance rate, and base 1-star characters have a 79.000% appearance rate.

Uma Musume employs an Exchange Point spark mechanic rather than an escalating soft pity system. Every pull grants 1 Exchange Point. Accumulating 200 Exchange Points (requiring 200 pulls) allows direct redemption of the featured rate-up character from the banner exchange menu.

Exchange Points do not carry over between banner rotations. Any remaining points expire or convert at the conclusion of the specific gacha period. To estimate the probability of securing a target character within a given pull budget, use the Uma Musume Summon Calculator (/umamusume/summon-calculator/).

Character Database and Racing Classifications

The GachaPortal character database catalogs 256 trainee horse girl characters available in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby. Each trainee character is structured by base star rarity, preferred running strategy, and distance aptitude.

Characters compete across four distinct running styles (tactical positioning strategies) during races: Runner (Front runner / Nige), Leader (Pace chaser / Senko), Betweener (Late surger / Sashi), and Chaser (End closer / Oikomi).

Races also test four track distance categories: Short (Sprint), Mile, Medium, and Long distances. Each trainee possesses natural aptitude grades across these distances determining their racing effectiveness.
