Sprint Panas Calon Remaja 1.200 Meter IHR Cup II: Historia Guti,

Blazing 1,200-Meter Youth Sprint at IHR Cup II: Will It Be Historia Guti, Saga Serumpun, or Volcanic on Top?

SARGA.CO – The heat will be on in Race 10 of the Indonesia’s Horse Racing (IHR) Cup II 2025 this Sunday, September 28, at the Kubu Gadang Racecourse in Payakumbuh, West Sumatra.
The 3-Year-Old Junior Division I – 1,200-Meter class is one of the most anticipated events, thanks to a lineup packed with lightning speed and future stars.

With a total purse of IDR 70 million, this race is more than just a test of raw speed—it’s also a mental battle, a showcase of jockey strategy, and a proving ground for rising young horses.

Starting Gate Draw

Historia Guti (Bukittinggi) – Gate 3
Freya Queen (West Java) – Gate 5
Saga Serumpun (Payakumbuh) – Gate 4
Volcanic (Solok) – Gate 2
Marlini Rengganis (Padang Pariaman) – Gate 1

Four of these five—Historia Guti, Freya Queen, Volcanic, and Saga Serumpun—are known for explosive starts. They don’t wait; they attack the moment the gates fly open, setting the stage for a blisteringly fast, unforgiving 1,200-meter sprint.

Volcanic Ready to Erupt

Among the fields, Volcanic is stealing the spotlight.
This tall, dark filly from Pikaso Stable (Solok) is sired by Dubai’s Choice and Wing 99, bloodlines famed for power and acceleration.

Though still relatively new, Volcanic has already made waves by winning First-Time Starter Class C/D (2-Year-Old) at the 2025 Payakumbuh Governor’s Cup. However, she missed the podium at the 2025 Bukittinggi Wisata Derby.

Racing Style: Lightning Fast but Still Tempering Her Nerves

Volcanic is a true front-runner—she bolts the instant the gate opens. Her former weakness? Mental toughness. She was known to ease off if overtaken, reluctant to fight back. Trainer Tuan Amris has been working to change that with focused drills on emotional balance and tactical adaptability.

Favorites vs. the Dangerous Underdog

On paper, Historia Guti (Bukittinggi), Saga Serumpun (Payakumbuh), and Freya Queen (West Java) carry more race experience and enter as favorites.

But that makes Volcanic the dangerous underdog. Starting from Gate 2 gives her a perfect launch position to seize the early lead. If she can hold her rhythm, she just might shock the field.

The Hottest Sprint of the IHR Cup II 2025

With aggressive styles, blistering pace from the start, and the promise of edge-of-your-seat drama, Race 10 is expected to be the fastest—and most thrilling—race of the entire meet.

Will it be Historia, Freya, Saga Serumpun, Marlini, or the dark horse Volcanic, crossing the finish line first?
The answer will come in the most explosive two minutes at Kubu Gadang.
