Jakarta (B2B) - Pengurus Provinsi Persatuan Olahraga Berkuda Seluruh Indonesia (Pengprov Perdasi) menolak rencana revitalisasi arena Pacuan Kuda Pulomas di Jakarta Timur oleh Pemerintah Provinsi (Pemprov) DKI Jakarta , karena akan menghilangkan lokasi latihan dan eksibisi atlet-atlet berkuda di Jakarta.
"Seharusnya revitalisasi Pacuan Kuda Pulomas diikuti dengan penyediaan lokasi pengganti, apabila seperti ini maka Pemprov DKI Jakarta bisa disebut bertindak sewenang-wenang dan menghambat pengembangan prestasi olahraga berkuda di Jakarta," kata Ketua Pengprov Pordasi DKI Jakarta, Alex Asmasoebrata kepada pers di Jakata pada Minggu siang (28/2).
Dia menambahkan, Pulomas identik dengan pacuan kuda sehingga apabila fasilitas olahraga tersebut dihilangkan, hal itu berarti menodai sejarah olahraga pacuan kuda di Jakarta.
"Pulomas sudah menjadi ikon bagi Jakarta dan kebanggaan para atlet berkuda tingkat nasional maupun di DKI Jakarta, sehingga kami akan berusaha mempertahankannya," kata Alex Asmasoebrata.
Sebelumnya diberitakan, Pacuan Kuda Pulomas akan dikembangkan menjadi equestrian untuk mendukung penyediaan fasilitas olahraga Asian Games 2018.
Pembangunan Equestrian akan ditangani oleh PT Jakarta Propertindo, selaku anak perusahaan PT Pulomas yang akan mengembangkan kompetisi berkuda ketangkasan di Pulomas sesuai rekomendasi dari Dewan Olimpiade Asia (OCA) yang telah meninjau Pulomas pada 2015.
