Japan Umamusume Training Center Academy or Japan Umamusume Training Schools and Colleges (日本ウマ娘トレーニングセンター学園, Nihon Uma Musume Torēningu Sentā Gakuen), usually known as Tracen Academy (トレセン学園, Toresen Gakuen) is a boarding school for Umamusume located in Tokyo, Japan. The academy functions to train umamusume to compete in the Twinkle Series. Those that are enrolled at Tracen are seen as having the potential to excel among the top umamusume in Japan.

Tracen Academy's motto is "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere."

Facilities

Tracen Academy is comprised of several facilities designed to help students reach their goals.

• Main School Building
• Cafeteria
• Dormitories
• Library
• Training Track
• Training Pool
• Training Gym
• Dance Studio
• Outdoor Dance Stages

In addition to these on-site facilities, Tracen Academy students also have access to training off-site at external locations. The only known external training camp is the beach summer camp. Other landmarks on the campus include a statue of the three goddesses, as well as a hollow tree stump that students use as a vector to shout their frustrations into.

Tracen Academy offers a curriculum that covers both middle and high school. Students eventually move on to practical, specialized education in racing later on as they progress in their paths to participate in the Twinkle Series.

Trivia

• The school's motto is a reference to the thoroughbred racehorse Eclipse. The phrase itself is used to refer to a dominating victory, Eclipse being replaced with the name of the victor.
• The Training Track is of comparable size and distance to the Tokyo Racecourse.
• The two dormitories on campus, Ritto and Miho, are named for two real-life training centers for JRA horses. The students in game live in the dormitories corresponding to the training center their real-life counterparts trained at.
  • Students that live off-campus reflect the fact that the horses they're based on did not attend either training center.
    • The exception to this rule is Mr. C.B. as the real life horse trained at Miho, but lives alone in the series.
  • Haru Urara is an exception to this, as the real horse never competed in the JRA and thus never attended either training center, but she lives in Ritto Dormatory as the roommate of King Halo.
• The flow of time in Umamsume does not strictly correspond to real-life, and the length of time a student may be enrolled at Tracen Academy is not specificed. For example, in the Pretty Derby anime, Symboli Rudolf has been enrolled since Tokai Teio's early adolescence and has served as Student Council President seemingly for as long as she's been in attendance.
  • In Cinderella Gray, which is set in a timeline that roughly corresponds with the late-1980s events in horse racing, Symboli Rudolf serves as Tracen's student council president, but Air Groove and Narita Brian, her Vice Presidents in Pretty Derby, are never encountered. Instead, her closest associates are Maruzensky, who in real life raced in the 1970s, before Rudolf was born, and Mr. C.B., the real-life Rudolf's contemporary and rival as a fellow Triple Crown winner.
