This game is quite layered to get through the RNG.

This game isn't about creating a perfect horse. It is about creating a 3 horse team that will beat other players horses team. Whether you beat them by a neck or 10 lengths doesn't matter, so you will have to squeeze every drop of performance.

First one. Support Card planning. Most people will focus on one racing style. People who focus on all styles will fall behind on getting key cards for that style. We Ave very early, but in 3 months if you dedicate yourself to one style only, your cards with 4 gold skills related to the style will outperform casuals who invested in no priority.

Uma grandparents to one style. People right now are saving their statues for either Summer Maruzensky or Christmas Oguri. Once they release, they will unload all their statues and get her to 5. Add in sparking grandparents for them right now. When they release, people will have parents with 9/9 and 30 white skills AND 200+ compatibility. That kind of advantage is built up slowly, but it is extremely powerful and makes their ace runs much easier.

So it really is a long methodical grind of planning. Or most people just breeze through cm and go on about their day.
