New 'Believe' Character in Umamusume Pretty Derby Trends on X (formerly Twitter)

'Believe' has topped the trend rankings on SNS X (formerly Twitter), garnering significant attention. This comes after the announcement that 'Believe' will be implemented as a new Training Uma Musume in the popular smartphone game *Umamusume Pretty Derby*.

According to the official *Umamusume Project* account, the ★3 Training Uma Musume 'Believe' is scheduled to appear in the Pretty Derby Gacha on Friday, September 19th. Additionally, the '4.5th Anniv. Select Pickup Support Card Gacha' will also be held from the same day, offering fans an unmissable opportunity: a guaranteed SSR Support Card for a 10-pull gacha using paid Jewels.

Within the game, 'Believe' is introduced as 'the boyish bishōjo mare who keeps the quirky antics of the highly popular, fastest short-distance trio, Righto & Durandal, in check.' This character description has sparked much anticipation. Users have expressed widespread joy with comments like 'Believe is so cute!' and 'I've been waiting for this!'

Particular attention is being paid to her unique skill. Many users have expressed surprise and excitement about its powerful effects, with comments such as 'Isn't Believe's unique skill description insane?' and 'Continuing to push forward until the goal seems incredibly strong.' She is expected to be a versatile asset for short-distance races, and given her 'Leader' racing style, she will likely be especially appealing to trainers focusing on training Leader Umamusume.

The real racehorse Believe is renowned as the 'Queen of Short Distances,' having achieved her first graded stakes victory in the 2002 Centaur Stakes, followed by wins in the Sprinters Stakes and the Takamatsunomiya Kinen the following year. As a broodmare, she also produced a foal that won the Sprinters Stakes, achieving the remarkable feat of a mother-and-child consecutive victory. There are also hopes for how her history, personality, and connections with related racehorses (such as Gendarme and Umamusume who enjoy mountain climbing) will be portrayed in the game's scenario.

On the other hand, some trainers who spent many Jewels during the anniversary period have expressed concerns about limited resources for gacha pulls, with comments like 'I'm low on Jewels...' and 'My friends are struggling with consecutive releases of characters they want.' However, many fans are also showing strong determination, saying things like 'I'm definitely pulling!' and 'I'll get her, I believe in Believe (pun intended 😜)!'

The implementation of *Umamusume*'s new character, 'Believe,' is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the game and captivate many trainers.

The context

*Umamusume Pretty Derby* is a popular Japanese media franchise that primarily features a mobile gacha game. In the game, players take on the role of a 'trainer' who guides anthropomorphic horse girls, known as 'Umamusume,' through training, races, and unique story arcs. Each Umamusume is based on a real-life famous racehorse, adopting their characteristics, racing styles, and historical achievements. The game is known for its blend of idol-training simulation, competitive racing, and character-driven narratives.

2021 Japan Derby Winner Shahryar (5-Year-Old Stallion) Retires from Stud Duty

It has been revealed that Shahryar (5-year-old stallion), winner of the 2021 Japan Derby, has retired from stud duty. This unusually early retirement, coming just this year after he began his career as a stallion, has sent shockwaves through the horse racing fan community. The primary reason for his retirement was an extremely low conception rate. In his first year of breeding, he covered 74 mares, but ultimately, only 7 conceptions were confirmed, a severely challenging situation. Given this exceptionally low rate, discussions among those involved led to the decision that it would be difficult for him to continue as a stallion. Information circulating suggests that a testicular disease may be the cause, and there are indications that standard stallion insurance might apply, or that he may be re-purposed. On social media, numerous posts express shock and sadness, with comments like "So sad," "Far too soon," and "Is it even possible for a stallion to retire this...
