SARGA.CO – Ever wondered why some racehorses in Indonesia cost as much as a luxury car? It turns out, it’s not just about good looks or bloodlines. Let’s take a closer look at the key factors that can send a racehorse’s price soaring.
Indonesia is home to 13 native horse breeds, including the Sumba, Sumbawa, and Batak horses. However, in competitive racing, these local breeds are often crossbred with legendary racing bloodlines such as the English Thoroughbred (TTHB), Turkish, and Arabian horses. The result? Durable, fast, and resilient Indonesian racehorses are ready to take on the track.
Not all racehorses carry a sky-high price tag. A horse’s value depends on several key factors:
The faster and more enduring the horse, the more valuable it becomes. A racehorse that can maintain stamina all the way to the finish line will always command a higher price.
Winning matters. Horses with championship titles under their belts automatically see their prices climb. Even being dubbed a “future champion” can significantly boost a horse’s market value.
Unique coat colors, balanced posture, and ideal weight add to a horse’s appeal. In the racing world, looks still play a meaningful role.
Specialized diets, supplements, vitamins, and regular professional training all add up. These factors increase both a horse’s performance and its value.
