Miranda Stable has a very recognizable style—all their horses’ names always begin with the letter “M”, often sounding like French or Italian words. Whether intentional or not, this elegant and “international” nuance makes their horses stand out just from their names.

Examples: Milord, Mc Kinley, Milagros, Marshal, Meraxes, Ms Queen, Mimosa, Mandela, Matteo, Marior Sia.
 

If you see a horse with the suffix “Nagari”, chances are it belongs to Bendang Stable. As one of the major stables in Indonesia, Bendang carries a naming style that reflects local cultural roots and identity.

Interestingly, in recent Sulut events, they began introducing a new variation: horses with the prefix “Sun”, perhaps symbolizing a new spirit.

Examples: Lyana Nagari, Suko Nagari, Tuan Nagari, Sunzone Nagari, Suntora Nagari, Sunray Nagari.
 

Though Sulut is far from Java—where many major races are held—Allstar Stable proves that character can be carried anywhere. Even while competing away from home, they remain consistent with their trademark “Allstar” suffix.

Examples: Sidney Allstar, Geneva Allstar, Trinity Allstar, Virtuoso Allstar, Catarina Allstar.
 

Another Sulut-based “migrant” stable is Tonsea Stable, now active in racetracks across Java. Their signature is the “Tonsea” suffix, a clear mark of pride in their regional origins.

Examples: Althair Tonsea, Esperance Tonsea, Athena Tonsea, Faithful Tonsea.
 

A horse’s name may not determine its speed on the racetrack, but it can become an identity, a story, and even a magnet for fans. The consistency of Sulut’s stables in maintaining their naming traditions is a reflection of their love for horse racing culture—and it’s what makes the Indonesian racing scene more vibrant and full of color.

So, the next time you see a name like Sunray Nagari or Virtuoso Allstar, you’ll know: there’s a long story and deep pride behind it.
