1. "Umamusume Hit Prayer Race! Impressions on the "Uma Musume Hit Prayer Race!
2. Feelings on the day before the broadcast & message to everyone who will be watching

Azumi Wake (Special Week)
This is my first time at a racetrack in my life! The first time I went to a horse race, my brain was hot and I was so nervous!　I was so excited to see the horse that I had decided to be the one! I was so excited to see the horse I had decided on running in front of me, and I was once again attracted to the fascination of horse racing. It was really amazing!　It was so powerful that you had to see it live to understand it!　I'm glad I got to experience it!　I definitely want to bet again!

2. The anime is finally starting, and I can't wait for you to see it!　I am so glad that I was able to come to the racetrack before it aired!　I hope that both those who already support Uma Musume and horse racing fans will watch it, and I will do my best to avoid any shame, so thank you for your support.

Marika Takano (playing the role of Silence Suzuka)
1. While I was impressed by the powerful horses, I was also reminded of the many people who nurture and support these horses, and how big their dreams are. I felt that I was touched by something on a large scale, both physically and emotionally. The tension at the moment of start and finish was a hot moment that surpassed any other time.

2. I hope that the "Uma Musume" that we have been facing is a continuation of one dream for all of you. Please follow the new drama of Uma.

Machico (playing Tokai Teio)
1.This is the first horse race in her life!　I was so excited that I decided which horse I would cheer for and went to the race. The excitement at the moment of the start was amazing, and I actually felt the anticipation and tension reach the max as we approached the finish line, making it a hot first horse race!　Because of the actual experience, I learned a few key points about how to look at the paddock and how much data to take into account while making my selections, and I want to do it again.

2. It finally starts tomorrow, doesn't it? Uma Musume Pretty Derby" is a hot coming-of-age story, so even if you are not familiar with horse racing, I think you will enjoy it and learn a lot about horse racing! Many parts of the story reflect the characteristics and relationships of actual horses, so I think it is good to learn about the history of the original horses from the work!　There are many scenes of races, so what kind of feelings do the Uma Musume have while they are challenging the races?　Please pay attention as you watch!
