SARGA.CO – The 17th race of the day, the 2,000-meter Open Class at the 2025 Indonesia’s Horse Racing Cup (IHR Cup), delivered an electrifying spectacle for the 8,500 fans packed into Sultan Agung Stadium (SSA), Bantul, on Sunday, June 15, 2025.
The crowd erupted as Naga Sembilan, the pride of DKI Jakarta, pulled off an extraordinary coming-from-behind strategy to seize victory in one of the day's most prestigious races.
After a modest start that saw him in fourth place over the first 200 meters, Naga Sembilan—owned by Raihanah Bagus of Red Stone Stable—made a thrilling charge in the final turn, overtaking his rivals with a powerful burst to cross the finish line first.
explained owner Raihanah.
Under the calculated command of his jockey, Naga Sembilan outran formidable contenders like Guti Spirit from Billion 99 Stable (Yogyakarta), who finished second, and Triple SS, aka Noel Sion from Shella Saukia Stable (Jakarta), who secured third place.
This victory not only reaffirmed Naga Sembilan’s elite racing prowess but also set the stage for a high-stakes showdown at the upcoming National Championship Series I – Indonesia Derby, to be held at the same venue this July.
“Naga Sembilan will be back for the Derby next month. He was runner-up last year—this time, we’re aiming for the win.”
said Raihanah with confidence
