SARGA.CO — The name Queen Thalassa holds a special place in Indonesia’s horse racing world. Her nickname says it all: The Long-Distance Queen. This elegant yet fierce mare is known for her near invincibility on long tracks. But recently, fans have been wondering — where has Queen Thalassa gone? Why hasn’t she been seen on the track?
That mystery has finally been solved. Star jockey Jemmy Runtu confirmed that Queen Thalassa is preparing for a comeback! After a lengthy absence, the pride of King Halim Stable from West Java is gearing up to return to competition.
Queen Thalassa is no ordinary racehorse. According to the official records of The Indonesian Stud Book, she is a fourth-generation (Gen 4) horse bred in Indonesia, tracing her lineage directly back to the legendary American Thoroughbred Secretariat, who swept the Triple Crown in 1973 — the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes.
From Dynamor and Long War, to Dynamor Kid and Poseidina, and now Queen Thalassa, the blood of champions continues to flow, producing extraordinary stamina and power on the racetrack.
As mentioned in the study by Ekiz & Kocak (2007), Thoroughbreds typically begin racing at the age of two, the same as Queen Thalassa, who started her career in an 800-meter sprint. But as her career progressed, her strength truly shone in long-distance races.
Queen Thalassa has built a stunning record of victories, cementing her status as a living legend in Indonesia’s horse racing scene:
2024 – Champion of Piala Tiga Mahkota Series I (2,000 m), Pertiwi Cup (2,000 m), PON 2024 Class A Gold Medal (2,200 m), and Jateng Derby (2,000 m).
2023 – Champion of Tiga Mahkota Series II and Pertiwi Cup (2,000 m), Jateng Derby (1,800 m), and Piala Raja Hamengku Buwono X (Bantul).
2022 – Champion of King Halim Stable Cup (2,200 m).
She even claimed victory twice in Star of Stars — a prestigious class reserved for horses with exceptional stamina, skill, and mental fortitude.
In a surprising twist, Queen Thalassa also competed in the 1,300-meter Sprint Class during the 2024 Pordasi National Horse Racing Championship Series II. Though it wasn’t her specialty, she still performed competitively — proving that her excellence extends beyond endurance, showing remarkable versatility across distances.
Now that Queen Thalassa’s comeback is confirmed, the question becomes: who is worthy to face the Queen?
The competition has grown fiercer, with new young stars rising rapidly. Yet, with her experience, pedigree, and proven record, Queen Thalassa may still reign on a level of her own.
