SARGA.CO – North Sulawesi, particularly Minahasa, has once again solidified its reputation as Indonesia’s thoroughbred goldmine. Long known for producing top jockeys and trainers, Minahasa is now in the spotlight for something even more remarkable: its elite racehorse breeders.
The latest stats don’t lie—Indonesia’s current top three racehorses all hail from Minahasa:
King of Istana, Bintang Maja, and Triple SS.
These names have dominated championship podiums over the past two years, becoming household names for Indonesian horse racing fans.
Currently ranked #1 in Indonesia’s distance racing class, King of Istana was bred by Mario Bahar of Bendang Stable, Pinabetengan – Tompaso. He made headlines by smashing records:
This undefeated three-month streak has made King of Istana a symbol of Minahasa’s rising power in national racehorse breeding.
Raised by Hein Rori of Tompaso II, West Tompaso, Bintang Maja is a true multi-event star:
Known for his explosive acceleration and exceptional mid-distance stamina, Bintang Maja also shares a unique bond with his regular jockey, making him a consistent threat at every major event.
Often dubbed the “shadow champion” for frequently finishing in 2nd or 3rd, Triple SS remains a serious contender.
Bred by Prima Sion Stable in Touure – West Tompaso, his record includes:
Triple SS is known for his tactical intelligence, consistent performance, and clutch surprises. While no longer owned by a North Sulawesi stable, his Minahasa spirit still beats with every stride.
The achievements of this top trio prove that North Sulawesi is not just a breeding ground for great jockeys and trainers—it is also home to elite breeders producing world-class horses.
Thanks to their skilled hands, Indonesia now boasts locally bred racehorses capable of competing at the national level without relying on imports.
This is a turning point—Minahasa is poised to become Indonesia’s national hub for thoroughbred breeding and racehorse development.
