50 free Uma Musume Pretty Derby trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Uma Musume Pretty Derby turns famous Japanese racehorses into schoolgirls with horse ears and tails, and that is the whole charm of it. Almost every character borrows her name, her rivalries and even her odd habits from a real horse, so the cast doubles as a crash course in decades of racing history. This quiz is about those characters. It asks who is who at Tracen Academy, from the heroines of the anime's seasons to the stars of Cinderella Gray, Road to the Top and the Beginning of a New Era film, and it links many of them to the real horses that inspired them. A few questions cover the game, the studios and the staff who run the school. It suits fans who came in through the anime, trainers who have spent far too long in the game's Career mode, and anyone curious about why Special Week and her friends have such devoted followers.
