Notable Highlights

Saud from Central Java stands as the most dominant horse in Star of Star history, clinching five consecutive victories (2010–2014) with jockey J. Turangan.

Notable Highlights

Djohar Manik, also from Central Java, earned three titles (2015, 2017, 2018) with two different jockeys.

In recent years, Queen Thalassa and Queen Divona from West Java have made waves, pushing jockey J. Runtu to the top spot three times in four years (2021, 2023, 2024).

While Central Java remains the region with the most titles overall, West Java’s rising dominance signals a shifting tide in Indonesia’s horse racing scene.

The race was not held in 2020 due to the pandemic, resuming again in 2021.
 

Queen Thalassa

Star of Star: More Than Just Speed

The Star of Star isn’t just about who’s the fastest—it’s about who’s the most complete: speed, strength, stamina, and harmony with the jockey. Horses like Saud, Djohar Manik, and Queen Thalassa have become icons by proving their prowess on one of the sport’s toughest battlegrounds.

With rising competition and the ever-improving quality of Indonesian racehorses, the question now is: Who will be the next legend on the 2,000-meter track?
