In several interviews leading up to the film's North American release, Ken Yamamoto shared various details about its production. Yamamoto revealed the film had been in production for three years, adding that it began prior to the development of the franchise's OVA Road to the Top.

Yamamoto has cited the real-life Agnes Tachyon's dominance during his brief racing career as the deciding factor to have his contemporary Jungle Pocket as the film's protagonist, framing their rivalry as having major ramifications to Jungle Pocket's character.

When asked on how the film's races were animated, Yamamoto remarks that he used jockey cams recorded during real-life horse races as source material. He also shared that the team coordinated thoroughly to convey its grounded nature using motion, color palettes, and editing, while also expressing the narrative purpose of each represented race.

On March 22, 2024, the film's official website also revealed the main theme song, titled "Ready!! Steady!! Derby!!". The song is performed by Yuri Fujimoto, Sumire Uesaka, Yui Ogura, and Haruna Fukushima as their respective characters.
