Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Irsal Adam, stated that the Sawahlunto Derby is one of the largest horse racing events in West Sumatra, with a total prize pool of IDR 150 million.
The Kandi Horse Racing Track, which has a 1,400-meter national-standard track, can accommodate up to 12 horses in a single race. The venue has also hosted the national-level Sawahlunto Derby 16 times since 2006, as well as three National Championships in 2006, 2010, and 2023.
The Sawahlunto City Government hopes that horse racing events can increase tourist visits, boost MSMEs (small and medium enterprises), and trigger the revival of the local horse breeding industry.
Sawahlunto’s tourism sector continues to be promoted through regional-scale sporting events so that this historic mining town becomes increasingly recognized as a cultural tourism and sport tourism destination.
