How to Build to Win Tanabata Sho

Tanabata Sho is a fairly easy race to win. Basically, you can run just about anyone you want for this race. Most racers are okay or better with Medium races, and everyone can run just fine in Turf. In order to get it done, you need enough speed, a little stamina, and some wit to make sure your skills are firing. Any kind of racer would be good for this one; there are so many great builds for each horse, and you won't have to do anything special to get this race in the bag. You don't even need more than standard R Umamusume support cards, though the SRs and SSRs will always help you complete your career better.
