It is expected to contribute to enhancing the image of horse racing by drawing national interest and support through a Korea-Japan race, much like the Korea-Japan soccer match. The prize money is 250 million won, and the hosting racecourse will cover all related expenses, including transportation fees for invited racehorses and airfare for racehorse officials.Using the 2013 Korea-Japan Equestrian Festival as a foothold, the Korea Racing Authority plans to promote international invitation races starting in 2014 by inviting racehorses from countries including Japan, the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Macau, and Malaysia. Furthermore, in 2022, the plan is to expand international racehorse exchange racing both in scale and quality to host world-class horse racing events comparable to the Kentucky Derby in the United States, the Epsom Derby in the United Kingdom, the Melbourne Cup in Australia, and the Japan Cup in Japan.

Before the full-scale implementation, the number of entries will be increased this year by raising the maximum number of participating horses in special events and racing competitions from 14 to 16, with the expectation that more entries will lead to more wins and losses, thereby improving the quality and excitement of the races.Meanwhile, as the number of final races increases, the participation opportunities for Bu-gyeong horses in open races will grow. Until 2012, only 8 horses were allowed to participate from Seoul and 6 from the Busan-Gyeongnam region, but starting this year, for open races held in Busan-Gyeongnam, up to 8 horses can enter, and for open races held in Seoul, the number of entries granted to Busan-Gyeongnam horses will increase to 7.

Gyeongbuk Province announced that it will begin construction this month on the main access road to ensure the smooth progress of the horse racing park project. To open an access road to the racetrack, which is scheduled for completion in 2015, Gyeongbuk Province began the detailed design service in January 2011 during the approval process for Yeongcheon Racecourse and completed it simultaneously with the recent approval.Gyeongbuk Province announced plans to build an eco-friendly, people-centered road that offers visitors a comfortable and spacious environment by installing a loess-paved sidewalk and bicycle path along the cherry blossom trees, as well as LED streetlights along the entire route to save energy, all to promote efficient access to the racetrack.

In addition, the Seoul-Bukyeong race scheduling system has been unified.In addition, changes to the 'Triple Crown' for selecting the best three-year-old racehorses have been introduced: starting this year, the best stallions and fillies will be selected separately, and overseas racing will become mandatory.In addition, a Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Governor’s Cup (GⅢ) will be introduced as an open race, and a 500-meter shortest-distance race will be added, promising an exciting competition.The basic direction for establishing the 2013 race implementation plan, as pursued by the Korea Racing Authority, can be summarized as a slight expansion of the scale of race operations to improve management efficiency, enhancing the marketability of horse racing by increasing excitement, laying the foundation for a unified field integration scheduling system, and unifying the scheduling system for Seoul and the Busan-Gyeongnam regions.

Up to last year, a total of eight races were held as international exchange races (5 in Seoul, 3 in Busan-Gyeongnam), while this year there are 6 in Seoul (JRA Trophy, HRI Trophy, SLTC Trophy, SNTC Trophy, TJK Trophy, MJC Trophy) and 2 in Busan-Gyeongnam (GCTC Trophy, GC Trophy). Among these, at Seoul Race Park, the JRA Trophy will be held the day before the Derby as it was last year, while the other five exchange races will be held together with the YTN Cup International Jockey Invitational on August 10–11.First, on September 1 of this year, three Japanese racehorses will compete against 11 of Korea’s strongest racehorses at Seoul Race Park, and in November, three Korean racehorses will travel to Japan to race against Japanese horses.

Since the association’s funeral directors travel across the country for work, their approach may differ somewhat from that of other associations. Although there is an executive director, they cannot work full-time because they must support themselves as an active funeral director.I went to the JRA Funeral Education Center in Japan in 1997 for a funeral training course. I was being trained by a local funeral expert, and the doctor asked me, "Why do Korean funeral directors ask the same questions every time they come for training

However, the Jangjesa Association within the Korea Racing Authority proposed that our association purchase a booth at KINTEX and operate it together with the association. I thought it was a good idea and was going to do so, but the organizers said that gas cylinders or stovetops for burning cannot be used indoors. At that moment, they received a request to set up a jangje booth next to the venue of a horseback riding competition in Gyeonggi Province to help boost the event’s atmosphere.Since I couldn't conduct the funeral indoors,

Until last year, we did not request support from the association, but this year we requested support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for the first time. When I submitted plans for crop system education, competitions, and training to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, I was told that since the ministry oversees more than one association, it could not provide support for the requests of any association. That's a given and a valid point. When I asked if there was any way to provide at least partial support,

Regular riders seem to care more about how it feels or what it functions when they wear it rather than the brand. It was more effective for promoting Penakova to people to have played a few months in Japan than to have played diligently in Korea for four years. It seems that domestic athletes are only now showing interest in Penakova’s equestrian uniform after seeing that Japanese competitors at the European competition wore it. This is a disappointing aspect.

First, the horse stable area is large, and each one is equipped with air conditioning. And everything is pleasant. Next to it is a grassland for exercise; the grassland attached to the village of Masah, where eight dogs live, is only about one thousand pyeong. This is something we cannot imagine. It's true that this is possible because Dubai is a wealthy country. Even if it doesn't reach that point, the current aging of the massage system also needs to be addressed first.

Yoshida Ma-ju shows me videos and brags about how much she boasts to me. Even though we won when we faced each other. Honestly, from an objective standpoint, the difference with Japan is indeed significant. The difference was clear just by looking at the number of equestrian officials who visited Dubai. There were only about ten horse racing officials from Korea in total, whereas Japan had around 30 to 40 journalists, and including staff, it seemed to be about 100.Last Sunday, a plaque of appreciation ceremony for the Dubai World Cup was held at LetsRun Park Pukyong.

Our team, 'Triple Nine,' had played in the rain and on wet sand before, so we thought that if the rain continued, we would have the advantage. But it stopped raining on the morning of the race, and it didn't rain when I actually started running.I met Yoshida Mazu of Japan in Dubai. It is the face of the famous Japanese phrase nani.We faced off in Super Saturday, and 'Triple Nine' finished fifth while 'Nani' came in sixth, so we won. At the venue, Ambassador Park Kang-ho and his wife joked,Still, Japan won.

Domestic horses, including 'Triple Nine,' usually raced in Korea at intervals of five to six weeks. But in Dubai, he played every 20 days on average, a shorter interval. I raced four times over three months: January 19, February 9, March 5, and March 25. Because it was such a nice-sounding phrase, it didn't show on the surface, but I couldn't help thinking that I might have been drained of energy. Looking back, I can’t shake the thought that if they hadn’t played twice in the Dubai World Cup Carnival,

Whenever my horse runs in a regular race, I drop everything and head to the racetrack. In fact, doing a 9 to 10-hour long flight at a relatively young age is no easy task. However, I think it is the owner's duty to be there when their horse is galloping. And there are also things I must see. I'm not exactly free, but I think it ultimately depends on one's determination.Looking back now, I can’t help but feel regret that I only got to play one match at the Dubai World Cup Carnival.

Following a poor performance in October, his results in November were also disappointing, so he spent two months resting. Perhaps because of that experience, participating in an international competition was not entirely welcome, and I felt a sudden reluctance to take part. So I asked which horses would be competing in Korea, and they said 'Power Blade,' 'Mainstay,Different Dimension,and 'Seoul Bullet' would be participating.Since 'Triple Nine' was selected as the national representative horse for two consecutive years,

Looking at examples abroad, older people also enjoy horseback riding. In South Korea, older people may not be able to hike due to leg pain, but if they know how to ride a horse a little, they can definitely go on an outing. Many local governments are creating cross-country cycling routes, and since these trails are not strictly for running, I think they will establish themselves as a suitable leisure activity even for older people.An MOU has already been signed with Jeju National University,

Kang Hyun-soo, head of the Pukyong CS Marketing Team, stated in his keynote presentation that while most of Pukyong Race Park achieved remarkable results in service quality last year, the comfort of the spectator facilities and the friendliness of the staff were very satisfactory; however, there were some shortcomings and complaints related to race operations.Director Lee Jong-dae emphasized, “A company’s core value is always value creation, and at the very top of that creation must be the customer. Although we achieved many accomplishments last year, we must not be satisfied and must repeatedly reflect on the areas where we fell short and achieve clear improvements.”
