Pertiwi Cup (horse race)

The Pertiwi Cup, also known as the Indonesian Oaks, is a flat horse race in Indonesia for three-year-old fillies run over a distance of 1,600 meters (approximately 1 mile), usually held in April as a form of respect for RA Kartini, an Indonesian women's emancipation figure who was born in that month. As with the Derby, this race can only be participated in by G/KP horses (crossbred horses with Thoroughbreds) and Kuda Pacu Indonesia.

The Pertiwi Cup is held in conjunction with the first leg of the Indonesian Triple Crown. Pertiwi Cup is part of the Indonesian classic race.

In 1987, the distance was extended to 1400 m. In 1992, the rules were changed to allow only three-year-old fillies to compete. In 1996, the distance was extended again to 1600 m, where it remains today.
