4 Horses Who Made History on the Track in 2025

SARGA.CO – The 2025 series of Indonesia’s Horse Racing (IHR) championships not only brings sweet and unforgettable memories for King Argentin. Several racehorses also left historic marks on racetracks throughout this year.

The trophies and victories achieved by these horses will become valuable assets as they look forward to the racing championships that will take place in 2026.

These sweet legacies were earned by the champion horses through tireless struggle and effort. The implementation of strategies and horse care before races also became decisive factors in enabling these champion horses to successfully win trophies in the classes they competed in.

Who are the history makers on the tracks in 2025? Let’s take a closer look below.

King Argentin, Carving a New History as a Triple Crown Winner After 11 Years

It is undeniable that 2025 became a sweet memory for Kusnadi Halim. The owner of King Halim Stable patiently waited for two decades to kiss the Triple Crown trophy. This prestigious title, which had not appeared again for the past 11 years, was finally realized through King Argentin.

“In 2005, I was about to win the Triple Crown, but I failed,” he recalled, saying that a similar incident happened again in 2015.

Previously, King Argentin already had two trophy foundations to seize the 2025 Triple Crown. The horse, born from the mare Princess Missoni and the stallion Agrippa, emerged as the winner of Triple Crown Series 1 on April 20, 2025.

One month later, this 3-year-old black stallion once again won the Triple Crown Series 2 trophy on May 18, 2025.

King Argentin finally secured the 2025 Triple Crown title after winning in Race XVII Class 3 of the Indonesia Derby – 2000 Meters at Sultan Agung Horse Racing Field, Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta, on Sunday, July 27, 2025.

“This is what I’ve been waiting for for 20 years,” said Kusnadi Halim at that time.

Naga Sembilan, Winner of Star of Stars Who Was Once Underestimated

Not only did King Halim Stable close 2025 with sweet memories. Bagus Haryanto could also smile happily when his iconic horse, Naga Sembilan, successfully broke the views of a handful of people who underestimated him. Knowing his horse as a back runner, Bagus had strong confidence in Naga Sembilan’s ability to achieve success in national horse racing.

The peak occurred at the Indonesia’s Horse Racing (IHR) National Championship of PORDASI Series II 2025 at Sultan Agung Horse Racing Field, Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta, on Sunday, October 19, 2025. Competing in the prestigious Class A Star of Stars over a distance of 2,200 meters, Naga Sembilan had to contend with five highly experienced horses to win the SARGA.CO Cup, with a total prize of IDR 70 million.

In addition to Naga Sembilan, the horses competing in this prestigious class were Queen Divona from King Halim Stable, Kashmir Pararaja (Pararaja Stable), Triple SS (Shella Saukia Stable), and Prince Patriot (Bullion 99 Stable).

Applying a “peeking from behind” strategy, Naga Sembilan showed his character as a back runner when overtaking Triple SS a few meters before the finish line. The KP7 horse, born from Da Vinci Eclipse and Marior Sia, reached the finish line with a very narrow margin.

“As for watching a race with your own horse running like that, it’s not just me, my family was all nervous. My first child even made a vow that if Naga Sembilan won, he would shave his head,”

said Bagus, who mentioned that his son had fulfilled that vow.

Princess Gavi, Ruler of Two Prestigious Classes

King Halim Stable not only placed King Argentin as a history-making horse in 2025. Princess Gavi also made the stable owner, Kusnadi Halim, smile happily as he closed the horse racing championships this year.

How could it not? The 4-year-old mare with a chestnut coat presented two championship titles in the 2025 IHR horse racing championships.

The first title was presented by the “Sprint Queen” when she won the Pertiwi Cup trophy on April 20, 2025. Six months later, the horse born from Agrippa and Queen Jasmine once again brought home the prestigious Class A Super Sprint – 1,300 meters title at the 59th PORDASI IHR National Horse Racing Championship Series II 2025.

Unlike many horses that immediately charge forward at the start, Princess Gavi has a distinctive style: calm at the beginning, explosive at the end. She is not the type to rush, but carefully waits for the best moment to attack.

This strategy was clearly seen in her last two performances. At the IHR PORDASI National Championship Series II 2025 last October, in the Class A Super Sprint 1,300 meters, Gavi was once at the very last position. However, in the final 300 meters, she sprinted powerfully, overtook her rivals one by one, and crossed the finish line with only a nose-length margin.

Triple’s: The Winner of the King’s Cup

The 2025 Indonesia's Horse Racing (IHR) King Hamengku Buwono X Cup Championship on November 9, 2025, became a proving ground for Triple’s as a serious challenger in horse racing in 2025.

Like an arrow from a bow, Triple'S recorded an absolute victory in the prestigious class competing for the King Hamengku Buwono X Cup 2025. This red stallion performed flawlessly from the start to the finish line.

Ridden by jockey Meikel Soleran under the Shella Saukia Stable banner, Triple SS gave no room at all for his six rivals to come close. Stable speed, precise strides, and strong instinct made him untouchable throughout the 2,000 meters, while also securing the prestigious King’s Cup — the highest-caste trophy with a total prize of IDR 200 million from SARGA.CO.

The achievements carved by Triple’s cannot be underestimated. His opponents were not ordinary horses. Race XVII brought together the best horses from six regions, such as Princess Gavi and Queen Divona (West Java), Naga Sembilan, formerly known as Leonidas (Jakarta), Naura Ayu (East Java), Prince Patriot (Yogyakarta), and P. Ratu Samudra (South Kalimantan).
