SARGA.CO - Two of the most prestigious and eagerly anticipated races at IHR Cup 2025 are set to seize the spotlight: the Derby Contenders Class (1,850 m) and the Open Class (2,000 m).
Each offers a prize pool of IDR 70,000,000, but they tell very different stories—one for the reigning king and the other for the heirs to the throne.
Eleven young horses from across Indonesia will compete to prove who truly deserves the title of the nation’s rising star.
Standout contenders include Kamaka Eclipse (Central Java) and Romeo Berjaya dh. Vhagar Nagari (Jakarta), both having posted impressive times in prior events.
Meanwhile, Griffin (East Java) and Sidney Allstar (North Sulawesi) are seen as potential dark horses capable of springing surprises.
Don't overlook West Sumatra’s duo: Mars Marakesh and Sanubari Yess, known for their aggressive Minang-style racing. From the nation's capital and the east, Spektra Davinci (Jakarta) and Padagi NSL (Central Sulawesi) emerge as formidable newcomers.
This race acts as a preview for the upcoming Indonesia Derby—a single race where reputations and high-stakes horse transfers can be made or broken.
From Kalimantan, Arbox Nagari and P. Ratu Samudra bring the Dayak spirit to challenge Java’s dominance, while Rapid Dash from Bali, the island’s sole representative, was a surprise contender at the 2023 National Championships.
Over the 2,000-meter distance, stamina and strategy will determine the victor. The horse that masters the rhythm from start to finish will be crowned Indonesia’s best of 2025.
These two races aren’t just about speed—they represent battles of reputation, regional pride, and history in the making. Thousands of eyes will watch as titles, prestige, and the future are decided in under two minutes.
This championship also became the first in Indonesia to host equestrian events at night.
