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 sapi, 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 sapi between 180 to 200 meters, which can be completed within 14 to 18 seconds.
