In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, your goal is to raise the perfect trainee. While there are several available at the start, each one comes with unique stats and roles that will shape how you develop your ideal racer in the future. Naturally, some trainees are stronger than others due to their stat distributions.
So which ones deserve your attention, and which should you ignore? Although they come with star ratings, the game doesn't always reflect their true potential accurately. Here’s a list of the best trainees to focus on in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby Character Tier List 
If you're trying to determine who's worth investing in when starting careers and passing down skills, we've ranked the starting and free trainees based on multiple criteria. Since this list only includes characters you receive for free, none require gacha pulls—you'll have access to them all from the beginning.
Each trainee's ranking considers stats, aptitude, unique skills, innate abilities, and usability. With varying moods affecting performance, some racers are easier to keep satisfied than others. The overall ease of completing a full career also plays a role in their placement.
S Tier
| **S Tier** | Trainee | Description |
| Gold Ship | With strong base stats and being among the top long-distance racers, Gold Ship is a powerful presence on the track. She is **simple to keep content**, and her skill set complements her racing style well. As a long-form runner, she excels near the end of races. | |
| Haru Urara | Being one of the few starting A-grade Dirt racers, Haru Urara becomes an essential pick for beginners. Her **balanced initial stats** allow for customization, letting you mold her into a more specialized form based on your preferences. | |
| Vodka | With the **highest power stat and a strong speed rating**, Vodka can achieve incredible acceleration during most races. Though she struggles in short and long distance events, **none of her required races force her into those distances**. |
A Tier
| **A Tier** | **Trainee** | Description |
| Daiwa Scarlet | Daiwa is a solid beginner option with plenty of room for growth, though her **base stats are lower than others**, especially considering she's a two-star unit. One major advantage is her ability to use both **Front and Pace strategies** effectively. | |
| Sakura Bakushin O | Sakura is somewhat similar to Daiwa but slightly weaker. They share comparable stats and both excel using Front or Pace tactics. She competes mostly in short races, where she shines. **Her stats are adequate**, so with proper planning, she makes a versatile racer. | |
| Agnes Tachyon | Agnes offers a variety of useful skills such as **fatigue reduction, endurance recovery, energy conservation, performance boosts**, and even **slowing down leading racers**. However, nothing about her stands out significantly beyond those tools. | |
| King Halo | Another trainee with respectable stats, King Halo uses her **Power, Speed, and Wit** effectively throughout her career. Thanks to high Power, you can compensate for weaknesses by improving other stats without much trouble. | |
| Grass Wonder | While she has access to one of the best Support Cards, Grass Wonder is just average as a trainee. She isn’t bad, but she lacks any **distinctive traits**. Her distance capabilities are excellent, and her Speed, Power, and Stamina make for smart investments. Unfortunately, her **skills aren't impressive**, and while her race paths are flexible, she never quite reaches elite status. | |
| Mejiro Ryan | She performs well in rainy conditions, but outside of that, Mejiro doesn’t offer much. She's a **reliable unit** with **skills that complement her stats**, yet she **only thrives at a specific distance**, making her feel **more situational**. Still, she’s a quality option overall. |
B Tier
| **B Tier** | **Trainee** | Description |
| Nice Nature | Her **low stats** already place her behind others, but her **skills only trigger under very specific conditions**, limiting her usefulness. These abilities activate **when she's in third place**, and many of her passive effects focus on **hindering opponents instead of boosting her own chances**. | |
| Matikanefukukitaru | Unfortunately, decent base stats aren't enough to save Matikanefukukitaru. Many of her **skills depend heavily on luck**, making her unreliable if fortune isn't on your side. She's only effective with **one main strategy** and cannot handle short-distance races. There are better alternatives available, making her an unnecessary choice. |
