SARGA.CO – While champion horses often take the spotlight, it was the jockeys Meikel Soleran and Trully Pantouw who emerged as the true stars of the IHR-Indonesia Derby 2025, held on July 27 at Sultan Agung Stadium in Bantul, Yogyakarta.
With four podium finishes each, the duo stood out among 54 jockeys competing in Indonesia’s most prestigious horse racing event, confirming their elite status in the sport.
The IHR-Indonesia Derby 2025 brought together 156 of the nation’s finest racehorses, with 54 horses securing podium finishes across 18 races. With Rp1.2 billion in total prize money, the event set a new benchmark for the sport in Indonesia. Provincial representation was led by Central Java (12 podiums), followed by East Java (11) and Jakarta (9), confirming the strength of equestrian talent in these regions.
Highlight Races That Stole the Show
Of the 18 contested races, three stood out as the crown jewels:
3-Year-Old Derby – 2,000 M (Rp300 million)
Winner: King Argentine (West Java)
Also clinched the 2025 Indonesia Triple Crown
3-Year-Old Juvenile – 1,600 M (Rp150 million)

Behind every winning horse is a jockey whose skill and instinct make the difference. The success of Meikel Soleran and Trully Pantouw not only elevated the status of their respective stables but also served as a reminder that in horse racing, it's not just about speed — it’s about synergy, split-second decisions, and the quiet brilliance of the jockey in the saddle.
