SARGA.CO – The 1,000-meter Race III Class G at Indonesia’s Horse Racing (IHR) Piala Raja Hamengku Buwono X 2025 delivered one of the most intense duels of the day. Among the six horses competing for the PLN Cup with a prize of Rp10 million, one name dominated the final stretch: P. Bless Virginia, a 4-year-old filly from BHM Stable, South Kalimantan.
But her victory didn’t come easily. P. Bless Virginia had to stay patient at the start, then unleashed unstoppable speed at the end — even without a single whip strike from jockey Marcel Ratu.
Once the starting gate opened, the crowd was immediately met with a surprise. Nagoya MD and Nona Khaula shot forward flawlessly, leaving the others behind by as much as two horse lengths. They led the front pack with an aggressive tempo.
Behind them, P. Bless Virginia chose the outer lane, observing, maintaining rhythm, and fighting closely with Berkas Sari for the third position.
Entering the final turn, the race began to shift dramatically. Nona Khaula, who had been leading from the start, suddenly lost momentum. This was the moment P. Bless Virginia had been waiting for.
With consistent stamina and a steady pace, Virginia increased her speed and smoothly overtook Nona Khaula, pushing the rival out of podium contention.
Once she seized the lead, P. Bless Virginia became untouchable. Her power looked as if it kept exploding even more. She dashed far ahead, creating a gap no competitor could close.
What made the moment even more special was that jockey Marcel Ratu never needed to use the whip. Virginia kept accelerating naturally, showcasing maturity and strength.
The audience erupted as Virginia crossed the finish line as the champion, delivering a solid victory for the South Kalimantan contingent.
