However, the way stats work in the game is complex, and to maintain your maximum speed, you will be relying on other stats.
Stamina
Running requires a lot of stamina, and you definitely don’t want to run out of it during a race when you are just about to win.

Power
As the name suggests, power is the physical strength of your Umamusume. It’s not to be confused with stamina, aspower also has a detrimental effect on your stamina. Power lets your Umamusume quickly reach their maximum speed.
Your racer may berunning at maximum speed, but they might not be able to maintain itfor long. You do need Power to get ahead of your opponents, so thisstat should be your third priority, but make sure you have enough stamina.
Guts
The final stretch of the race is the crucial moment, but you may find yourself running out of stamina here, which may throw you off.
To avoid losing your position, it’s agood idea to focus on Guts to keep up your current momentum. It’s not a very important stat; if you have all the other balanced out, you probably won’t even need it, sofocus on it the least.
Wit
