Japan Umamusume Training Center Academy or Japan Umamusume Training Schools and Colleges (日本ウマ娘トレーニングセンター学園,[1] Nihon Uma Musume Torēningu Sentā Gakuen), usually known as Tracen Academy (トレセン学園, Toresen Gakuen) is a boarding school for Umamusume located in Tokyo, Japan. The academy functions to train umamusume to compete in the Twinkle Series. Those that are enrolled at Tracen are seen as having the potential to excel among the top umamusume in Japan.

Tracen Academy's motto is "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere."

The URA, or Umamusume Racing Association, is a governing body for umamusume races. It governs the central, national-level circuit of graded races within Japan alongside the National Association of Racing, or NAR, which governs racing at the local or prefectural level.

The Twinkle Series refers to the central competitive circuit in which Uma Musume participate within Japan. It is the main stage for their growth and development, functioning similarly to a professional horse racing league. Twinkle races are public entertainment events, often The Twinkle Series refers to the central competitive circuit in which Uma Musume participate. All Twinkle series events are televised and monitized by the URA, and Umamusume schools across japan are free to participate.

After winning an official race, the victorious Uma Musume performs a live concert known as a "Winning Live." This blends the competitive and idol aspects of the series, reinforcing the celebratory nature of victory. It also gives the URA a great sum of money.

Trainer: Trainer (That’s his name.) Members: Special Week, Silence Suzuka, Tokai Teio, Vodka, Daiwa Scarlet, Gold Ship, Mejiro McQueen, Kitasan Black

Spica started somewhat unremarkable and have a reputation for being weaker / oddballs, but they grew a lot. They’re often underdogs, relying on teamwork, individual growth, and mutual support. Spica represents hope, camaraderie, and developing potential.

Trainer: Hana Toujou Members: Air Groove; El Condor Pasa; Grass Wonder; Symboli Rudolf; Taiki Shuttle; T.M. Opera O; Narita Brian; Hishi Amazon; Fuji Kiseki; Maruzensky.

Considered the strongest / “elite” team. They’re often rivals to Spica. Their members tend to be more experienced, more polished, and most are champions. Their trainer is strict, data-driven, often demanding. They have high standards, and their presence pushes Spica’s members to improve.

Trainer: Minamizaka Members: Nice Nature; Twin Turbo; Ikuno Dictus; Matikanetannhauser; Sounds of Earth; Royce and Royce

A more “mid-level / underdog” team in the academy. Introduced in Season 2. Their members are more varied; many are not the top stars so there’s often a pressure / aspiration theme. They regard Spica both as a standard and rival: they try to aim up to them. Canopus has its own internal challenges: keeping consistent training, focusing, dealing with expectations, morale. Their trainer is more quiet, sometimes less forceful in comparison to Rigil.

The turns on a racetrack can be conceived of in terms of either two turns, or as is more common in Japan, four corners. These are called simply the first, second, third, and fourth corners in the order that they are passed during a race, with the second and third corners typically separated by the backstretch.

[The head of Tracen Academy who has full authority over the school's operations. The current director, Yayoi Akikawa, is a passionate educator who pours her soul into supporting each and every student, going to such lengths as to expand training facilities for Umamusume who are trying their best.]

[A measure of how well a runner is suited to different race distances (sprint, mile, medium, and long). If a runner races at a distance for which she has low aptitude, she will likely struggle to match the speed of others.]

[Tracen Academy provides on-campus housing for not only students, but also trainers and faculty. Though not mandatory, most opt to stay in them, as many people come to Tracen from distant parts of the country or even overseas.]

[Two or more runners (Umamusume) become Dueling in the final stretch of a race if they are engaged in a close struggle for the lead. Those with higher Guts are able to raise their speed more dramatically in such situations.]

[A strategy in which the runner conserves stamina at the very back of the pack before closing the gap down the stretch at the end of the race.]

[To fade means to lose speed in the final stages of a race due to a lack of endurance.]

[A strategy in which the runner immediately goes to the front and leads the pack all the way to the finish.]

[The lingering hopes and dreams of those who once carved their names into racing history may spark inspiration in the hearts of those who aspire to follow in their footsteps. It is tradition at Tracen Academy for students to pray to the statue of the Three Goddesses for inspiration.]

Faculty members of Tracen Academy are responsible for the education of students who have yet to find a personal trainer. As instructors typically focus on improving the fundamentals and teach groups of ten to twenty at a time, they cannot tailor training sessions to individual student needs.

[The year in which an Umamusume debuts. Those in their junior year can only enter races that are exclusive to junior year runners.]

[A race distance of 2,401 meters or longer. A runner (Umamusume) who excels over this distance is called a "stayer."]

[The first race an Umamusume runs in the Twinkle Series. A runner may not enter any other races until her Make Debut. If she wins, she may then enter races at the Pre-OP level and above. If she finishes second or lower, however, she will be limited to maiden races.]

[A race distance between 1,401 and 1,800 meters. As one mile is treated as equivalent to 1,600 meters, races in this category are not necessarily a mile long, strictly speaking. A runner who excels over this distance is called a "miler."]

[A graded race held at a regional racecourse operated by the NAU but open for Tracen Academy runners to enter.]

[To place means to finish a race in the top five, in particular between second and fifth position. Though obviously not as good a winning, placing in a race is still considered a solid result. The numbers of those who placed are displayed on the scoreboard.]

[The URA and Tracen Academy provide official support, including financial aid, to students wishing to run in races held outside Japan. Institutions akin to Tracen can be found all over the world, many of which maintain close connections to Japan through jointly-hosted races and other events.]

A trainer may scout an Umamusume by offering her a contract to join their team, usually on the basis of her reputation, training record, and performance in tryouts. Although rare, it is also possible for an Umamusume to directly approach a trainer and ask to be scouted.

[The fall edition of the biannual Fan Fest, also known simply as Fall Fan Fest. Students work with their classes or teams to run stalls or events that encourage fan interaction. The festival draws parents, fans, and many other visitors to the academy.]

The spring edition of the biannual Fan Fest. Students sometimes work with their classes or teams to run attractions such as food stalls or haunted houses, but sporting events usually take the spotlight. Umamusume get the chance to prove themselves in a variety of sports other than racing, including road relays, volleyball, and futsal. The festival draws parents, fans, and many other visitors to the academy.

[To start in a race means to run in it. One may also speak of how many "starts" a runner has had in a particular period of time.]

[Determines Top Speed. The Speed Stat is the top speed of Umamusume. This applies to all of the phases in a race. Naturally, this determines your ability to overtake other Umamusume, making it the most important stat.]

[A large tree stump found on Tracen Academy grounds. The vast hollow space inside makes you want to scream into it at the top of your lungs. Popular among students as a sport to vent frustrations or, more recently, to just let out any overwhelming emotions more generally.]

[A runner's manner of taking steps, especially with relation to the length of each step. One can have a long stride, a short and quick stride, or something in-between.]

[A body of student representatives responsible for organizing and running school events, overseeing other student organizations, and generally making Tracen Academy a healthy and fulfilling environment for all students. Their efforts have earned the trust of students, teachers, and trainers alike.]

[The current president is Symboli Rudolf, who is assisted by vice presidents Air Groove and Narita Brian.]

[A measure of how well a runner is suited to each of the four running styles (front runner, pace chaser, late surger, and end closer). If a runner races with a strategy for which she has low aptitude, she will likely struggle to pace herself.]

[The foremost institute for Umamusume education in Japan. Run by the URA, the Japan Umamusume Training Center Academy provides an ideal environment for any Umamusume dreaming of making it in the Twinkle Series, attracting top runners from across not only the country but the world.]

[Equivalent to a combined junior and senior high school, Tracen admits students who have graduated from elementary school and passed the entrance exam. However, there are also students who enroll after junior high, skip a grade from elementary school, or in rare cases, transfer from a regional school.]

[In the morning, students are taught basic subjects like at any other secondary school. Afternoon classes focus on racing, featuring subjects such as racing theory, winning concerts, sports nutrition, and basic training. Students who have already signed on with a trainer may use this time for personal training sessions instead.]

[A major event at Tracen Academy where students are free to compete in turf and dirt races of all distances held with a full gate of eighteen. All students may enter regardless of career status or team affiliation, making it a rare opportunity for those who have yet to debut to compete against seasoned racers. All-day affairs held twice a year, the Tracen Meet attracts attention from all across the country, with many from the general public flocking to attend.]

[A measure of how well a runner is suited to the two types of track surface (turf and dirt). If a runner races on a surface for which she has low aptitude, she will likely struggle from a lack of power. Most Umamusume are only suited to either turf or dirt, but some are adept at both.]

A profession dedicated to the education, guidance, and management of Umamusume in their racing careers. Requires the successful completion of an exam administered by the URA, upon which one receives a trainer's license and badge.

Trainers spend their days offering support, encouragement, and sometimes a shoulder to cry on to their trainees as they strive for glory in the Twinkle Series. Trainers lead a team of Umamusume who have signed on with them. Each team needs one full-time trainer, who may be assisted by one or more assistant trainers. Many newer trainers choose to gain experience by acting as assistant trainer under a seasoned trainer.

Those wishing to train runners in central races generally sign a contract with Tracen Academy, which then becomes their place of employment. Trainers may also find work in smaller clubs across the country training young Umamusume or regional racers.

[The racecourse at Tracen Academy where students practice. Contains multiple tracks for different types of training, including turf, dirt, woodchip, and inclines. Open to students during set hours, outside of which an application is required.]

[A major Tracen Academy event held four times a year which races throughout the day for runners not yet part of a team. Tryouts provide a crucial opportunity for students to prove themselves in front of potential trainers in the hopes of getting scouted. Results in tryouts can determine the fate of one's future career. Students who show particular promise may attract a crowd of fans to their tryout races.]

[Large screens positioned beside a racetrack used to display a close-up view of the action.]

[A runner's ability to accelerate toward the end of a race. For example, one may speak of a runner showing her strong turn of foot.]

[Umamusume (Uma ), colloquially referred to as horse girls, are a species of reincarnated racehorses from another world. Their initial fate is to do whatever it takes to run towards their goals.]

[mamusume are well-known among mankind and appear to be greatly adored by them as well. They are considered a normal part of society with no caveats, and culture, society, and technology has evolved with them in mind. For example, roads feature dedicated umamusume lanes, and telephones exist with long-necked receivers to reach a umamusume's ears at the top of her head. ]

[Since Umamusume are reincarnated, you are to never mention their real horse counterparts. They are also not exclusive to japan, as Umamusume are world wide. Nobody refers to them as “Horsegirls,” and Umamusume is the species name, regardless of language. Referring to a Umamusume as a “horse girl” in english would be the equivalent of calling a man a “humanoid organic being.”]

[Distinguishable from humans by their long ears and tails, Umamusume naturally possess superior athletic abilities, especially when it comes to running. It is said that their names at birth come from another world, but much remains poorly understood.]

[A program of team races held by Tracen Academy alongside the Twinkle Series. Whereas the Twinkle Series tests individual performance, the Unity Cup puts a heavier emphasis on teamwork.]

The Umamusume Racing Association is the organization which operates the Twinkle Series, winning concerts, as well as Tracen Academy and other facilities.
