SARGA.CO – The 2025 Indonesia Derby, held on Sunday, July 27, was not only a showcase of the nation’s finest racehorses, but also proof that horse racing is embracing a fresh new face—thanks to the vibrant support from fans of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.
Through a post on platform X (formerly Twitter), race organizer Indonesia Horse Racing (SARGA.CO) publicly expressed its appreciation for the fan community of Cygames’ hit game. From the enthusiastic crowd in the stands, a flood of fan art on social media, to digital cheers echoing anime spirit, the Uma Musume fandom transformed the Derby atmosphere into something lively, unique, and full of color.
Traditionally known for its formal tone and niche appeal, this year’s race offered a striking contrast.
Wibu (anime superfans), cosplayers, and gamers stood shoulder to shoulder with conventional racegoers, cheering in unison as thundering hooves charged down the track. Hashtags like #Umazing, #UmaDerby2025, and #TeamKudaWaifu trended locally, capturing the unexpected and viral synergy between fandom and sport.
SARGA.CO noted that this crossover between the anime and horse racing communities brought positive momentum to local races. The passion of the Uma Musume fanbase enriched the competitive atmosphere, making the racecourse feel more alive and engaging.
Not stopping at just one event, SARGA.CO extended an invitation to anime and gaming enthusiasts to continue following and supporting Indonesian horse racing. Their vision: to build a more inclusive, creative, and sustainable racing ecosystem—without losing the sport’s core identity.
SARGA.CO ended their statement with heartfelt thanks to the Uma Musume community:
"THE TRACK WAS LOUDER BECAUSE OF YOU!"
This remark not only reflected gratitude for their presence but also highlighted the powerful potential of cross-world collaborations—between anime and athletic competition.

Marking the national energy company’s commitment to supporting the growth of equestrian sports in the country.
