King of the Track! The Best Male Racehorses

SARGA.CO – The track at Sultan Agung Racecourse, Bantul, Yogyakarta, on July 27, 2025, witnessed the sheer power of male racehorses shining at the most prestigious event on Indonesia’s horse racing calendar: Indonesia’s Horse Racing (IHR) – Indonesia Derby 2025.

Although the public's attention was initially drawn to the surprising performances of the mares who dominated eight classes, it cannot be denied that the stallions remained the main rulers of the track, securing 10 championship titles out of a total of 18 classes contested.
