From the perspective of horse racing betting fans, they may also think that their act of purchasing betting tickets is not merely spending money but donating a portion of it to a good cause in society. Therefore, the perception of horse racing itself does not turn negative. In our country, because these activities are state-led and most of the proceeds are returned to the national treasury, social welfare activities are not directly visible to the general public. Even those who buy betting tickets perceive that the Korea Racing Authority takes all the profits from horse racing.

Known as the Invincible of His Time for winning the Gyeongju race 11 times, he switched to stud after retirement but failed due to physiological issues, and is now said to be living comfortably at Isidore Ranch in Jeju. 'Indie Band' transitioned to a stallion and produced their first offspring this year, with the foals scheduled to debut around the second half of next year.We have a state-led horse racing system. Hong Kong and Macau have jackpots and a state-led horse racing system.Profits generated from horse racing are returned to society for the public good under the leadership of the owners

Macau horse racing is smaller in scale than ours, but has a deep history. It is one of the countries where horse racing is quite advanced. Systematically, there is little difference from Korean horse racing. However, Macau shows a different culture. Macau's face-to-face culture doesn't seem to be about making a living by earning prize money. More than that, the social purpose through the formation of a community is greater. In addition, a culture of leisure has taken root where people invite acquaintances to enjoy horse racing together and socialize on race days.

Since my donation activities were publicized through various media outlets, I feel that I have been seen as a representative of Korea.Rather than insisting that donations must be made in horse names, I think it is more appropriate to share with the world those who are already somewhat financially stable and have a certain level of income. Famous philanthropists such as the American steel magnate Carnegie and the world-renowned investor Warren Buffett actively donate. They said they believed the wealth they had gained was a blessing from God.

While engaging in these activities, I achieved great success and earned substantial prize money, which led me to feel that I should do something meaningful on the same level as my existing public service work, so I actively participated in donations.Although the horses are said to be owned by the owner, I believe the owner's role is not significant in the actual process of earning the prize money. Of course, selecting and investing in horses is important, but I feel that the complex outcome is actually the result of the contributions made by trainers,

Jung Young-sik, regarded as a leading mazoo in Korea, is famous for conducting donation activities under the names of words such as 'Dangdae Bulpae' and 'Indie Band.' It is not merely a matter of a few donations, but through more than a decade of sustained giving, it is also contributing to establishing the right attitude of humility and practicing the spirit of 'noblesse oblige.' He is also well known to fans and the public as Majo. During the heyday of artists like Jamin,Dangdae Bulpae,and Indie Band,who were making remarkable records and enjoying great success,

Our group uses an Irish source called 'Red Mill,' which I personally like. The teaching style is no different from that of other groups. But I’ll keep training them consistently. Other Korean squads take two weeks off or work in intervals, but our Demon King’s Guard starts training immediately after just 2 to 3 days. By consistently doing training, I feel I’m getting injured less than if I were pushing myself too hard with wet training in short periods before a race. Since trainers Kim Young-kwan, Baek Gwang-yeol, and Ahn Woo-sung are doing well these days, I will work hard too.

However, at LetsRun Park Seoul, the stable is operated at the association level, while at LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam, it is run by individuals, so Busan seems more competitive. Seoul has a small and tight feel to its main roads, whereas Busan’s main roads feel much larger and more linear.There is no special secret. Fortunately, I think I met some wonderful owners and horse trainers. If there is a secret to my success, it seems to be that I met wonderful people who have helped me a lot around me.

Yeonghui Era' and 'Gyeongju’s Bucket' are drawing attention. 'Younghee Era' is a horse that can perform well going forward with a 2-0 record in the third race, and 'Gyeongju’s Bucket Hat' is also a horse that continues to develop, so their futures are promising. Wishimiruk is also on a two-game winning streak in the second team and is now playing in the first team, so there is a chance. Although 'Party Again' and 'Invincible Wonderful' are only three years old, they are already capable enough to be considered first-class, as they are currently on a break.

First of all, I regret the recent horse trainer incident that occurred at LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam. The working hours of speech therapists abroad are also very similar to those in Korea. However, since they receive a portion of the prize money, the treatment of Korean horse trainers is relatively good. While some European countries, such as Ireland, have regulations requiring a portion of prize money to be paid, Korea's treatment is relatively fair.'Champ Line' didn't run in the last race, but he has been consistently performing well in the first division,

In most countries, gambling by predicting race outcomes through betting is enjoyed as a form of leisure. It is also common to see people who visit the racetrack for a weekend outing with their families casually placing bets.It seems that the Korea Racing Authority is doing a good job of strengthening competitiveness right now. For example, they are doing a good job of hosting international competitions like the 'Korea Cup' in Korea or sending Korea's top racehorses on tours to places such as Dubai and Singapore. If we increase contact with international horse racing in this way,

Recently, the composition of visitors to the racecourse has become more diverse,including not only horse racing fans but also families accompanied by young children and young people visiting with partners or friends.I think it is currently in the process of becoming a healthy leisure sport.To bring about greater change,rather than focusing solely on horse racing,using horses as a medium for the general public to watch and enjoy is also a viable approach.Ordinary people should be able to come and go naturally and without hesitation.

My entire family has deep ties to horses. My grandfather and father worked as trainers in Ireland, and other family members also have horse-related jobs such as trainers and jockeys. I actually started my career as a trainer when I debuted in Malaysia in 2010, but I have been connected with horses and living with them for quite a long time.Korean horse racing is showing a great deal of progress right now. Even compared to three years ago, the horses’ language, the trainers’ techniques, and the jockeys’ riding abilities have improved significantly.

And confident that Korean horse racing could develop, I boldly chose to go to Korea.I don't think there is much difference. If we had to compare, there is a slight difference in the main text. In Europe and Malaysia, there are many races held on turf in addition to those on sandy courses. Korea still does not have a main grass track. If that is the difference.There are also slight differences in the racing style. In Korea, there are many attempts to take the lead early in the race. I try to stand at the front whenever possible.

Trainer Thomas, who made his debut in the domestic circuit in 2015 as the third foreign trainer at LetsRun Park Pukyong, has now entered his third year as a Korean trainer. Three years may seem long or short, but during that time, having seen, heard, and experienced it firsthand on the front lines of Korean horse racing, you have surely gained a solid understanding of the sport. Moreover, his ranking among the top trainers at LetsRun Park Pukyong is also proof that he is already well acquainted with Korean horse racing.

It is intended to revive the spirit that participation in horse racing betting is for donations. When categorizing the types of social contribution projects, there are three stages: one stage where donations are limited, two stages where volunteering is made along with donations, and three stages: donation and volunteer participation and social value creation. Our Let's Run Foundation is currently in the process of transitioning to the third stage. Based on the Korean Horse Association and related organizations, the Let's Run Foundation will continue its active social contribution program using horses and through talent donation by horse officials. A "better tomorrow with horses" is never a dream. The Let's Run Foundation thinks that a world where words make all people happy is tomorrow. Personally, I think I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work as the secretary-general.

During the 2014 Gyeonggi Province Governor's Cup, I dressed up in special clothes and won, so I dressed up in purple again this time to cheer for Pinot Noir. This horse is named after my favorite wine, and I should go for a cup of Pinot Noir with the people who cheered for me today. I didn't expect much, but I think I got a good result because I had consistently experienced racing. The Dong-A Ilbo had a short distance, so I was worried that I might be catching up. I saw that this race has strength because it is a long distance of 2,000M, and I even expected to win the championship. I am happy to win for two consecutive games, and I hope it has brought a little joy to the horse racing fans. Due to the slow initial flow, I decided that the jockey might be able to take the lead and displayed a moving development.

Recently, older horses in the Mabang are doing well, but they are choosing to take enough rest when they take a break, which seems to lead to good results. Thank you for always helping me, and I will do my best to repay you with a victory. Hwang In-sung, who majored in law, expressed interest in the conflict of related bills, which is a sharp issue in the horse industry today. Hwang In-sung, a reporter, said, "I want to find out the issues that are holding back the development of the horse industry and highlight them. I will help the government and the Korean horse society policy meet the needs of the field."

The existence of the Let's Run Foundation itself is possible because of customers of horse racing. I thought that horse racing customers should come to the forefront in all fields. The Let's Run Foundation also wants to make it clear that the donation agent is the horse racing customer. Korean horse racing has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time in terms of culture, and is still changing to a positive aspect. As the customer level has been upgraded, it is now necessary to inform horse racing customers as the subject who provides financial resources for social contribution projects, not gamblers. Since the Korean Horse Association, which is the parent company, is a public enterprise, the Let's Run Foundation's policy is set by the national government and the mission of the Korean Horse Association. However, the first horse racing in Korea was born to raise funds to encourage horse racing, and participants participated in horse racing to donate.
