SARGA.CO – Amid the thunderous hoofbeats and cheering spectators at Indonesia's Horse Racing (IHR) Piala Raja Hamengku Buwono X 2025 at the Sultan Agung Horse Racing Track, Yogyakarta, a figure with black hair and distinctive racehorse-themed accessories caught the attention of many.
He wasn’t a jockey, nor a horse owner, but @Meltedfoxx, a cosplayer appearing as King Argentin Uma Musume, the anime-style character version of Indonesia’s legendary racehorse.
As is well known, King Argentin, from King Halim Stable, is this year’s Triple Crown champion — the first in 11 years. Throughout the season, King Argentin swept all three major horse racing events.
Thanks to this achievement, King Argentin has inspired a wave of fan art, especially after his third victory coincided with the rising popularity of Uma Musume, which has brought new excitement to Indonesian horse racing.
To cosplay as King Argentin, Meltedfoxx admitted that the project was done spontaneously and only took about two weeks. Even so, the costume was not made carelessly.
@Meltedfoxx also participated in an additional race, the Race Cos Yogyakarta-Kinen 2025, at the IHR. Two races involving cosplayers from the Uma Musume Indonesia Community were held in Races XIX and XX.
