Djohar Manik

Djohar Manik was a bay mare with a white blaze who was bred in Indonesia by Lala Stable. She was foaled in Boyolali on September 22, 2010.^[1][2] Djohar Mnaik was sired by Tuscaloosa, a son of Haayil, out of Mini Satria, a daughter of Blandford Park. She was a descendant of Kentucky Derby winner Northern Dancer through Tuscaloosa.

Munawir, the owner of Djohar Manik, named the horse after Jauhar Manikam of Malay literature, where she is a princess from the Middle East. In an interview, he said to have bought Mini Satria, who was pregnant at that time with Djohar Manik, from Munir Prawoto, an owner of a stable from Boyolali who was soon to be retired.^[2] Not long after her birth, her ownership was transferred to Tombo Ati Stable. Djohar Manik was jointly owned by both Aragon and Tombo Ati Stable.^[3]

In March 2013, Djohar Manik made her debut at Pulomas Racecourse in East Jakarta. At the beginning of the 2014 racing season, during the Jateng Derby, she bolted from the starting gate and ran directly toward her stable, evading capture and forcing her to drop out from the race. She redeemed herself by winning the next appearance at the A.E. Kawilarang Memorial Cup.^[4] She later went on to win all three legs of the Indonesian Triple Crown series, becoming the third horse to achieve the title of Indonesian Triple Crown winner.

In addition to her victory at the Indonesian Derby, Djohar Manik is also known to have won three Star of Stars titles (2015, 2017, 2018) and two Super Sprint titles (2014, 2016).^[5] In the 2016 Pekan Olahraga Nasional (PON XIX) in West Java, she competed with her jockey, Jendri Turangan, and won the gold medal after finishing first at Legokjawa Racecourse in Pangandaran.

At the 2018 Paku Alam Cup, Jendri Turangan, her senior jockey, suffered an injury prior to the event, and was subsequently replaced by Angel Manarisip.^[6] Later that year, the Central Java contingent, of which she was a representative, emerged as the overall winner of the President’s Cup (Piala Presiden) during the 2018 Kejurnas Series 2.^[7]

She retired in 2019.

In 2024 Djohar Manik died due to laminitis while she was pregnant with a foal by a stud named Leonardo Eclipse.^[43]
