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.

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.

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.

Thanks to Pinnoir, I'm on the podium again, and I feel happy and excited every time. I was very worried that I would catch up because I hit the middle of the race. It is true that he was turning six this year. The Dong-A Ilbo thought the race was over in an advantageous way in terms of experience because of bad weather, but I am very happy that he ran so well today. I plan to manage the horse as much as possible and think about the next race.

Looking back, we must honestly admit that we are not confident whether we have fulfilled our roles and activities. We are only just beginning to see the seeds of social contribution activities, so expecting a change in public perception from that level of effort is premature. As social contribution activities become a part of everyday life, they should be carried out so that results will naturally follow as they accumulate. We have played no part in blaming those around us.He received more love from his fans than he deserved.

The government should allow legal online, which can also regulate the policy direction of the gambling industry, while easing offline sales regulations to increase competitiveness with illegality by giving it an opportunity to transform into a complex cultural space." As the Internet expands its influence in all areas of life, it is impossible to clearly manage the legal and illegal areas. "The gambling industry should be managed in a more sound direction, and we should continue to race for win-win efforts for joint development through shared growth among gambling industries while preventing indiscriminate spread." Director Kim, who is deeply interested in sports and cultural welfare policy studies, said, "We intend to continue to appeal the position of the horse racing industry to the academic world with various papers to the effect that horse racing sales should be maintained stably for the development of the horse industry, and that should be accompanied by fair regulation by the audit committee."

Even now, I feel rewarded when I see so many fans coming to take photos with 'Dangdae Bulpae.'I can't give a clear answer, but I think the members need to lead by example and continue activities that show a good image to fans and the public. It is not right to expect a change in awareness without taking such measures. Since we are not the socially vulnerable, I think it will be completed by looking around and sharing with one another. If we keep this up, Korea’s palm industry could be reborn as a model of a developed nation’s industry.

It was established on March 18, 2014. Previously, the Korean Horse Association carried out various donations and social return activities in the social contribution team, but the establishment was promoted due to the need for a more active and professional foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to contribute to revitalizing society as a whole, promoting people's welfare, and enhancing the status of the horse industry by supporting job creation projects, talent development projects, cultural prosperity projects, welfare promotion projects for the vulnerable, and horse industry image improvement projects.

Dang Dae-bulpae retired and switched to studmills, but he failed due to physiological problems. The indie band also switched to breeding mares and has given birth to their first foals this year. I think they'll debut around the second half of next year, so I'm hoping people might be very surprised. The horses born this year were born with well-proportioned builds. I think 'Indie Band' will also stand out as a stallion in the future. The 'rock band,' the younger sibling of the 'indie band,' also debuted this year as a stallion after retirement and has bred several times.

Corporate management consists of shareholders as investors, a CEO as the manager, and the organization that makes it up. The same goes for a horse handler: the handler is the investor shareholder, and the CEO is the trainer. Because he is in charge of directing the overall production and leading the team of officials. Whether Ma-joo merely plays the role of an investor or participates in management may depend on his style. I believe one should faithfully fulfill the role of an investor, but some investors even try to intervene in management.
