The Star of Stars is a flathorse race in Indonesia for aged three and above run over a distance of 2,200 meters (approximately 1+3⁄8 miles). This horse race is held as part of the Kejurnas Series II, usually held in October.[1] It is known as the "highest stage" for horse racing in Indonesia, besides the Derby.[2]
As with most horse racing in Indonesia, Thoroughbred horses are not allowed to compete. Only horses crossed with Thoroughbred horses (called G/KP) and Kuda Pacu Indonesia with height class A (≥ 161,1 cm) are allowed to race.
