SARGA.CO – Who would’ve thought that Indonesia’s most prestigious horse racing event, the IHR–Indonesia Derby 2025, would become a hot topic in the wibu (Japanese pop culture enthusiast) community? Two fierce fillies, Princess Gavi and Romantic Spartan, stole the spotlight after finishing second and third, respectively, in the 3-Year-Old Derby – 2,000 Meters, just behind the Triple Crown winner, King Argentin.
But this time, the buzz wasn’t just about the race results—it was about what happened in the Sarga.co livestream chat. Wibu viewers flooded the comments with excited cheers like “Umazing!”, “Ganbare!”, and “Hashire! Hashire!”—phrases lifted straight from the hit game and anime Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.
Despite King Argentin’s dominating performance, both Princess Gavi and Romantic Spartan earned praise for their grit and determination. Their fierce duel through the final turns captured hearts—especially among anime fans who quickly dubbed them the “best girls” of the race, sparking online debates over which horse resembles an Uma Musume character the most.
The trend spilled over to social media. Platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok were soon filled with Uma Musume-inspired memes themed “Nusantara Uma Musume,” featuring hilarious taglines like “Umazing Nusantara!” Several illustrators even created fanart of Princess Gavi and Romantic Spartan reimagined as anime girls in flashy racing uniforms—just like in the show.
A Positive Signal for Indonesian Horse Racing
This wibu-fueled buzz hints at a bright opportunity for Indonesian horse racing to connect with younger audiences in creative ways. Sarga.co, as the official broadcast platform, is being praised for successfully bridging a classic sport with today’s digital and pop culture trends.
