Anywho; I'm here to say that I have done more research into stats, who needs what, what trainer cards are needed, etc, etc. If you have a question about something, ask here and I will try my best to give everyone a hand.

(really it comes down to stamina, speed, and power)

If you have her, the first trainee you can bet to B is Sakura Bakushin O. Run 4 sprint cards, and two Wit. Spend your start training whatever stat has the MOST trainers up in the upper right hand corner. You can see their pictures up there and what friendship level they have. Do this for the first year or so. You should win the first race without an issue. You are trying to max them before the summer training begins so you get that sweet, sweet, rainbow training at tier 5 training levels. Once you get to the goal "Participate in the Spring Stakes" change her to a front runner, grab front running skills (don't grab these until you get to this point, you might not hit first, but that doesn't matter as much unless you are min maxing.) Grab one blue skill if you can. Then hit SPEED, and MORE SPEED, until you can feel the breeze from the amount of speed you will get. Mix in a little wit until you hit 300. Then guess what? GET MORE SPEED. You should be able to get close to, or max, her speed stat. The rest of the run is a breeze at that point.

That will get you your first B to help others get there.

End note: While Rice Shower pulls at the heart strings, you won't be able to get her past C rank until you get some REALLY good sparks going for her ancestors. I have tried around 25 times and she is still failing me constantly. Even though you will end up racing against her and she will destroy you /sigh

Let me know if you guys need specific trainee help and I will do my best!
