Yep.

Your to do list:

Read the manga, the whole lot.
Watch seasons 1 and 2.
Play the game....minimum spend $550.
Get a daikamura of Meijiro McQueen.
Attend a Winning Live concert event .
Look up the historical races the races in the shows/series is based on, down to the horses participating, race times, corresponding to the actual race and in the anime, even racing commentaries.

Then and only then you can enjoy the show!

You spelled 'Twin Turbo' wrongly :> 

It should be self-explaining, it isn't like the plot is hard to figure out. Cure horse-girls doing cute things.  
It is totally worth it to watch everything of course.

Yes the plot is very straight forward, therefore its easy to figure out and enjoy. But if you'd want a FULL package on experiencing the show, having some knowledge through the main anime, manga series or from any other umamusume media content for an understanding on the side/cameo characters or other lore (like what a GI race is) would just boost the shows experience just a bit more. 

But really there is no need for that and would still be a great watch nonetheless.

I think you'll enjoy this more if you have seen the previous seasons.

No, not really, at least not by from what they show in episode one. It has nothing to do with the original. The characters are different. And they give you enough bg. 

Since it's only 4 episodes, I think you're good watching it and if you like it go to the 2018 anime.

Well if you don't like being confused with things like "who is this character and why they always with this character?" or "why this race is different and more important than other races?", I suggest you do a bit digging on the go. Almost every details on this anime has real life references, just like any other Uma Musume anime.

No he should not go digging into any spoilers. He should just watch it instead.

In Umamusume there are often plots that make viewers feels not so good if the viewer doesn't know that this plot is based on real stories, remember how people here quarreling on the plot of S2E13 as crunchyroll don't refer that it is a real story
