SARGA.CO – The 1,000-meter Race II Class H track at Indonesia’s Horse Racing (IHR) Piala Raja Hamengku Buwono X 2025 witnessed an extraordinary performance from a young filly that stole the spotlight: Falling in Love. Despite starting from the very bottom, the horse from Maju Jaya Stable (Jakarta) stunned spectators with a phenomenal comeback and claimed the championship title.
The competition for the Vitalong C Cup, with a total prize of Rp10 million, featured 12 horses from five contingents: Jakarta, West Java, East Java, Central Java, and DI Yogyakarta. From the moment the gate opened, the tension rose instantly.
When the starting gate opened, Falling in Love struggled to get a smooth start. She immediately fell far behind, while Opera O, Ranting Bersemi, and Jupe surged ahead to lead the pack.
The red-colored 2-year-old filly, standing 134 cm tall, was at the very back. However, jockey Agung Saidil Adha remained calm. Instead of forcing the pace, he maintained rhythm and watched for openings from the outer line.
Entering the middle of the race, Falling in Love began to unleash her true speed. She dashed past the crowded second group, slowly but surely closing the gap with the leaders.
The offspring of stallion Minahasa Eclipse and mare Sri Jaya showed exceptional power for such a young horse. Her acceleration drew cheers from the audience as she began threatening the front positions.
As the race entered the final 200 meters, Falling in Love had reached her top speed. She managed to overtake Opera O, who had been maintaining his lead quite steadily.
In a breathtaking moment, Falling in Love passed Opera O and immediately widened the distance, pulling away from the competitors without giving them a chance to chase.
With steady strides and full power, Falling in Love dominated the track all the way to the finish line, sealing a dramatic victory that skyrocketed her name in an instant.
