Sosok Mayo, Kuda Betina yang Digadang Jadi Calon Bintang

Meet Mayo, the Filly Touted as a Rising Star and Strong Contender for the 2026 Indonesia Derby

SARGA.CO – The name Mayo has begun to capture the attention of Indonesia’s horse racing community. This filly, owned by Andrea N. Supit of Miranda Stable, has delivered consistent and mature performances, positioning her as a strong candidate to become one of the stars of the 2026 Indonesia Derby.

Mayo’s growing spotlight is well deserved. The three-year-old is known for her versatile running style—capable of launching a late charge as a closer or taking control of the race from the front. She has a calm temperament, maintains a steady rhythm, and shows a high level of adaptability to various race scenarios—qualities that are essential at the Derby level.

A Blend of Champion Bloodlines

Genetically, Mayo is built on a world-class foundation. She is sired by Da Vinci Eclipse, whose lineage traces back to the legendary Giant’s Causeway, one of international racing’s most iconic names. This elite bloodline is complemented by the toughness of Manjusha, resulting in a horse with high intelligence, strong mental resilience, and an excellent ability to read the race.

This genetic combination makes Mayo not only fast, but also tactically smart—able to adjust seamlessly to jockey instructions and the ever-changing dynamics of the track.

Proven on the Track

Mayo’s potential is more than mere speculation. She confirmed her quality with an impressive victory alongside jockey Jones Paendong, claiming first place in the 3-Year-Old Derby Class Division 1 over 1,400 meters at the IHR: 59th PORDASI National Horse Racing Championship Series II 2025.

In that race, Mayo displayed strategic maturity and composure rarely seen in horses of her age. She controlled her pace, waited patiently for the right moment, and then accelerated all the way to the finish line efficiently.

On the Road to the 2026 Derby

With her steadily improving performances, versatile running style, and elite genetic background, Mayo has firmly entered the radar as one of the most promising horses on the road to the 2026 Indonesia Derby. The journey is still long, but Mayo has already shown that she is not merely a participant—she is a serious contender for the Derby crown.

Many people who saw the horse used as a model by photographer Riocam felt it looked strikingly similar to the horse in Ferrari’s logo—as if the iconic emblem had come to life in the real world.
