SARGA.CO – The name Prince Loupan has suddenly become a hot topic among horse-racing fans—not purely for blazing speed, but for one unforgettable antic during the Merdeka Cup 2025.
In the 1,000-meter class, while leading the field, this young colt veered sharply off course, skipped the finish line entirely, and handed victory away.
The crowd erupted in laughter, and social media lit up with comparisons to Uma Musume: Pretty Derby’s famously unpredictable character Gold Ship, a lightning-fast yet delightfully chaotic racehorse.
But when Prince Loupan flips the switch to serious mode, his true potential shines. The King Halim Stable youngster, by King Lopan out of Sandel, possesses raw speed and power that are hard to ignore. His Merdeka Cup detour was merely one colorful glimpse of his quirky personality.
That promise showed in the 59th National Horse Racing Championship (PORDASI) Series I 2025, where he entered the Class F – 1,000 Meter race for the Arsari Tambang Cup, with a total purse of Rp20 million.
Facing 10 rivals, Prince Loupan displayed a different side: calmer, focused—and crucially, he stayed on track. He didn’t reach the podium, but he crossed the finish line cleanly and without drama, proving that discipline is well within his reach.
The Prince Loupan phenomenon demonstrates that horse racing isn't just about speed, but also character. With a rising star and an eccentric yet promising racing style, he has the potential to become an icon of Indonesian racehorses, both for his achievements and his "unusual" personality.
