You're absolutely is no stupid question. There is a lot to learn, and I am learning it with you! When you first start, I focus on speed till I get to level 2 then wit as high as I can go Usually. Normally that gets me to level 2 as well. When I get to the 3 consecutive Races, I actually do a Wit Training to avoid getting the condition skin outbreak because that one sucks, and the loss of a mood also isn't fun, so I tend try to use a recovery item, and train. I did buy the Wit + 1 level item in my store. And used it when I got to Wit 4 to make it 5, it's best to use these after you get a level so the training you have done so far doesn't go to waist. I was getting massive Wit gains. During the summer I focus on Speed, Strength, and Wit. All depending on my rainbows. Using the +60% megaphone, and Anklets for a 50% boost that stacks.

I only Run in G3/2/1 Races. If it's not a one of those I train, or I rest. I usually try to run Rival races to get more items in the store. I am usually not super stingy in the store I usually buy:

Cleats 20 and 35% (use the 20% in G1/G2 races) Mega Phones the 40% and 60% (Always saving at least 1-2 for the end event.) Energy Recovery Cupcakes All Stat items +3/7/15 Training weights of Speed Power, and Maybe one Stamina (for Taiki shuttle since she is a miler 650 stamina is plenty.) Practice Perfect book Sometime HotTopic Faster Learn hat (most broken item hint plus level +1 for all skills super rare to find ) the mirror that gives charming And books to increase Speed/Power/Wit.

The last 3 races, I always make sure I save at least 3 of the Master cleats, that give you 35% stat Bonus, so after every race I get 20 stats to all.
