Naga Sembilan is a bay stallion, foaled on August 31, 2020 at Miranda Stable in Manado, North Sulawesi.[1] His sire is Da Vinci Eclipse, a son of world record holder Red Giant, and his dam is Marrior Sia, a daughter of Rajo Biaro.[1]
Irfan Karaeng Makka purchased Naga Sembilan at 4 months old from Miranda Stable. He then registered his horse under the name "Leonidas". For two years, Leonidas was raised at Al Attar Stable located in Jeneponto, South Sulawesi.[2] According to Irfan, the name "Leonidas" is a reference to Leonidas I, the Spartan king who fought thousands of enemies and defended his kingdom.[2]
In 2022, Irfan sold Leonidas to Pasir Mas Stable (East Java), and he was renamed to Naga Sembilan. Naga Sembilan was then sold to Red Stone Stable (Jakarta) in 2025.[3]
Naga Sembilan's current owner is Ny. Raihana Bagus, and he is usually ridden by Achmad Saefudin.[4][5]
