Is Meisho Doto good?
Both Meisho Doto outfits are Pace Chasers for Medium. Her original outfit (Turbulent Blue) has Speed Star and Up-Tempo and a Unique that adds acceleration after passing a runner late, made easier to trigger by the July 2026 balance changes, but her Indomitable recovery suits backliners better, so she wants Swinging Maestro.
Her Halloween outfit is generally better, with Swinging Maestro, Neck and Neck (a rare Pace Chaser acceleration skill in Medium) and a more consistent Unique, though Christmas 
Oguri Cap still outdoes her.
Strengths
- Solid Medium Pace Chaser
- Halloween version has Neck and Neck and Swinging Maestro
- Unique got easier to trigger
Weaknesses
- Original's recovery suits other styles
- No standout edge over top Pace Chasers

Taiki Shuttle: Friend.
IRL: After retirement, Taiki Shuttle and Meisho Doto lived in adjacent stalls in Northern Lake Farm.
The both of them were good friends and were often seen side by side.
After Taiki Shuttle passed, Meisho Doto was seen wearing the horse blanket that Taiki Shuttle used to wear.
This was translated into a friendship within the game and anime where both Meisho Doto and Taiki Shuttle can be seen hanging near each other on the sidelines of races, participating in a petting zoo that carried the same animals the IRL counterparts had while at Northern Lake Farm, and borrowing academic supplies from each other.
