It’s Officially On! Meet the Winners of the First Three Races at Indonesia’s Horse Racing Cup 2025

SARGA.CO – The long-awaited day has arrived. The thrilling Indonesia’s Horse Racing Cup 2025 officially kicked off at the Sultan Agung Horse Racing Arena (SSA) in Bantul, Yogyakarta, on Sunday, June 15, 2025.

The opening race of the IHR Cup 2025 began at 09:00 AM WIB, featuring three categories:

Class I/J – 1000 meters, with 10 horses and a prize of IDR 5 million
Class G/H – 1000 meters, prize IDR 5 million
2-Year-Old Novice Class C/D Division II – 1000 meters

The first race was intense from the moment the gates opened. The front pack battle was so tight that it was difficult to determine who was leading.

Early in the race, four horses—Jupe, Intan Mustika, Untung Junior, and Sekar Arum—vied fiercely for the lead. With impressive speed, Sekar Arum surged ahead, momentarily leading the pack.

However, Sekar Arum was unable to maintain a stable lead. With 200 meters left before the finish line, two horses that had previously been behind charged forward.

Malika AJ and Brio overtook the frontrunner in a dramatic showdown, and in the final stretch, Malika AJ edged out her rival to take first place.

Al Malika AJ is a light-colored 130 cm-tall mare, ridden by jockey M. Rezan and trained by Afi Pincuk.

The victory brought immense joy to Zaenal Efendi, owner of Atmaja Stable, especially since this was their very first race.

Zaenal revealed that he had only purchased Al Malika in 2024 for IDR 50 million.

Al Malika AJ from Atmaja Stable was crowned the winner of the IHR Cup 2025 Class I/J – 1000 meters.

“I was so nervous because it was our debut race. But she came in first!” said Zaenal.

Winners of Indonesia’s Horse Racing Cup Class I/J – 1000 Meters:

Al Malika AJ – Atmaja Stable, Central Java
Brio – M Stable, West Java
Sekar Arum – Aramita Azka, East Java

Race II – Class G/H – 1000 Meters

The second race was just as thrilling and was won by Bless Virginia from BHM Stable, South Kalimantan.

This offspring of Magnus and Black Shadow One triumphed over six other competitors.

Trainer Raymon Tambaani expressed his confidence in Bless Virginia’s win, as the team had entered her into a class lower than she typically races in.

Raymon explained that Bless Virginia usually competes in higher-tier classes—and even then, she regularly lands on the podium, often taking first or second place.

Their strategic decision paid off.

Winners of Race II – Class G/H – 1000 Meters:

Bless Virginia – BHM Stable, South Kalimantan
Larasati – King Stable, Central Java
Djon’s Girl – Djon’s Stable, North Sulawesi

Race III – 2-Year-Old Novice Class C/D DIV.II – 1000 Meters

BHM Stable’s dominance continued in the third race. Their champion filly Putri Barbara triumphed in the 2-Year-Old Novice Class, securing the SARGA.CO Trophy and a total prize of IDR 10 million.

BHM Stable fielded 9 racehorses in the 2025 IHR Cup, and Sheila believes they are all capable of winning titles.

Putri Barbara of BHM Stable delivered a stellar performance, delighting her stable’s owner Sheila Putri Mahardika, who had confidently predicted her win.

Putri Barbara from BHM Stable stood out as one of the top champions of the IHR Cup 2025.

“We believed that from the 9 horses we entered—including Putri Barbara—at least one would win. We’re confident they’ll all achieve great results,” said Sheila.
