Cow Racing - Karapan Sapi

Racing Cow in Madura
Karapan sapi  is a cow ( sapi )  race that came from Madura, East Java, for most of the Madurese karapan sapi is not just a party of the people or events held each year which are inherited from generation to generation. In this race, a pair of cow interesting sort of wooden trains (where the jockey standing and controlling the cow pair) driven in the race couples race against other cows. But karapan sapi  for the Madura is a symbol of prestige that can raise the dignity of the Madurese, because cows are used to match a very good quality beef course with preferential treatment anyway. 
Madura Island is not only known as a producer of salt, but also producing quality cow  is very good race. Not infrequently the owner prepare cow   by providing special massages and meals are not less than 80 eggs every day, so stamina and strength is maintained  . Even preferential treatment is in some beef cattle that adorn the house appears there is not a vehicle car garage but even the cow that was digarasi home. Understandably due to the cow who won the game could reach Rp 75juta per tail. 
In celebration karapan this cow, cattle owners pride at stake. If they can win the game, in addition to prize money gained from betting too often rewards they get. If merkea lose in this match, self-esteem and their owners fell out money that does little to karapan this cow. Because cow treatment before the game is expensive, and usually they hire shamans to keep the cows survived the attack spell - spell their enemies.Big celebration was held a cow karapan times a year, but to get to the finals must meet several stages first. There are two kinds of celebrations karapan dimadura cow, the first is the President Cup and the Regent Cup. To Regent cup usually held 2x a year, the winners of this cup regents will usually continue the game to the President of the cup, for the moment a good photographer is at the regent cup. Because the cup is usually held regent suburban, the dividing line is only made of woven bamboo that make this event more traditional, but the safety factor Regent Cup karapan cow is very less so be careful at the moment to take photos. Lively after regents cup is the President Cup, the event was very lively and crowded. Since most who follow the President Cup this usually is the winner at the Regent Cup, the event was held in the city of Bangkalan and celebrations between September or October. 
In the event karapan cow the audience not only treated cows and agility racing the jockey, but before the start of the owners usually do the ritual procession of cows accompanied disekelilingi race seronen musical blend of musical instruments typical Madurese making this event a more festive. 
The length of the route path karapan cow between 180 to 200 meters, which can be completed within 14 to 18 seconds. Certainly a very fast pace cow - the cow, but sometimes bamboo shrewdness jockey who used to tread the jockey floating in the air due to the rapid speed of the beef cow. To gain speed and increase the rate of the cow the jockey, the base of the cows that are fitted with a belt full of sharp spikes which flicked his whip and the jockey who was also given a cow's rump towards sharp thorns. Of course these cuts will make the cows run faster, but also cause sores around the cow's ass. After playing the cow was given some time to heal the wound, but the cow is dipertandingan dikarapan is only 2 to 3 x only and should not be given the game more. 


Proximity winners sometimes the difference is very thin, indeed, they often only within 1 to 2 seconds, and this sometimes makes the losers protested. But they are given the opportunity to compete again with the losers, and a happy moment for the winners. In addition to their gift, usually bet jg gifts they get. In addition to winning cattle prices could soar price. 
Karapan Sapi  is a very unique show, in addition to already inherited one generation to the tradition is also preserved until now. These events serve as a tourism event in Indonesia, and not only local tourists from abroad too many who witnessed this cow karapan. Hopefully in the future more festive and event betting that adorn the cow karapan be lost.
