In a short period, the Korea Racing Authority has taken on numerous challenges, breaking free from its narrow confines and raising the banner of internationalization and advancement, including overseas expedition projects for Korean racehorses, Korea-Japan racehorse exchange events, the implementation of the Asia Challenge Cup, and participation in the Singapore Korea Cup international race.However, it is assessed that so far it has not shown achievements worthy of claiming a qualitative improvement in Korean racehorses. Although it won the Korea-Japan racehorse exchange away victory three years ago and also won this year’s Asia Challenge Cup, there is concern about how other racing authorities will evaluate it.

I believe that only by lifting regulations and creating an environment where anyone can comfortably enjoy sports can the horse racing and horse industries develop,

The Korea Racing Authority recently officially requested the National Tax Service to issue an official interpretation regarding the introduction of a “book rental reservation system.” This is to make it more convenient for horse racing fans to purchase betting tickets in advance for races scheduled on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, when the races are not held on Thursdays.The problematic part was the tax section.
