Cygames is tying Uma Musume Pretty Derby to the actual race that produced Forever Young's Classic win, putting the character at the venue where the horse ran rather than keeping the promotion inside the game.

Cygames signed a partnership agreement with Breeders' Cup Limited, putting its name on the Cygames Breeders' Cup Sprint for the third consecutive year, following 2024 and 2025. The dirt race for Thoroughbreds aged 3 and older runs about 1,200 meters on October 31 in Lexington, Kentucky, with a 2 million dollar purse. A life-size figure of the Uma Musume Pretty Derby character based on Forever Young will be displayed at the venue.
The title race runs October 31 local time at the Breeders' Cup in Lexington, Kentucky, with a 2 million dollar purse and a distance of about 1,200 meters on dirt. The Cygames logo goes on the starting gate and saddle towels. The Breeders' Cup itself spans two days with 14 Grade I races. The life-size figure represents the Uma Musume Pretty Derby character modeled on Forever Young, the racehorse who took last year's Longines Breeders' Cup Classic.
