With Gyeryong Construction relocating to a new headquarters in February, the Korea Racing Authority plans to purchase the shared Gyeryong Construction building and improve customer service by remodeling it into an optimized facility. When residents began opposing the expansion of the Daejeon branch, the Korea Racing Authority stated that it would maintain the current policy of one person, one seat, assigned seating system and the current number of entrants.The importance of off-track betting facilities in the horse racing industry is by no means small.To implement horse racing, enormous financial resources are required to equip basic facilities such as racecourses, stands, and auxiliary facilities, and due to difficulties in securing land to build racetracks, it is a reality in countries that have implemented horse racing that they operate off-track betting facilities far outnumbering the number of racetracks.

Since the enactment of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, other local governments that only belatedly entered the race to develop the horse industry were unable to meet the basic requirements, so they began demanding the designation of a special zone combining two or three basic local governments, or a regional special zone at the provincial level. At the suggestion of these local governments, the Regulatory Reform Committee of the Prime Minister’s Office recommended the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to ease the related requirements, but the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced that it would prepare a plan to relax the designation requirements for the horse industry special zone starting in 2014, following its designation as the first horse industry special zone in 2013.The designation requirements for a special horse industry zone at the end of 2013 demand a substantially large-scale basic horse industry foundation within a limited scope.

Just as horses have spirit, when a fine steed is born, it produces unstoppable records. The artist whose anticipation is building is Ryanrok, 3 years old this year, based in Seoul. As a member of 'Triple Nine,' he shares the same paternal and maternal lineage. I’m currently taking a short break, but I’m hopeful that I will stand out significantly starting in the second half of this year. 'Black Sapphire,' who is competing in the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Governor's Cup, shares the same lineage as 'Triple Nine' and 'Lion Rock.

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.

Regarding the Daejeon branch, the Daejeon Participatory Autonomy Citizens’ Coalition held a press conference on the 8th in front of the Korea Racing Authority’s Daejeon branch in Wolpyeong-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon, calling for the withdrawal of the expansion plan for the Wolpyeong-dong off-track betting center and urging the withdrawal of the Daejeon branch expansion plan and relocation to the outskirts.In their statement, they argued that since the Daejeon branch was established, citizens have been exposed to the risk of gambling addiction and are suffering serious infringements on their living environment, such as traffic congestion caused by illegal parking on weekends and the deterioration of educational and residential environments due to the concentration of entertainment facilities. They demanded the relocation to the outskirts or closure, but accused the Korea Racing Authority of instead trying to expand it.

Various factors may have had an impact. It is important to acknowledge that they were unable to establish a stable foundation for their lives, and there is a shared responsibility to work together to ensure that such misfortunes do not happen again. Since Majoo does not directly employ therapists, there will be limitations in terms of roles, but I believe that by recognizing areas where therapists may not be aware, we can indirectly derive improvement plans and help resolve difficulties.Facing each other is also a business. I believe the concept is the same in both corporate management

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.

However, despite this reality, civic groups that have ridden on social prejudice against off-track betting facilities and regional selfishness are absorbed in opposition for the sake of opposition, and it is regrettable that the reality of labeling the horse racing industry—which contributes a significant portion to the national budget by paying tax revenue amounting to 1.4 trillion won annually—as gambling is nothing short of unfortunate.The horse industry and horse racing industry say that instead of opposing only for the sake of opposition, they should seek development into a healthy leisure activity and openly discuss with each other to set the best course for one another.

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.

As the year-end approached and with the closure of Seoul Racecourse Park approaching, the number of horse racing fans who visited the racecourse and off-track betting locations actually increased slightly compared to the previous week, yet the ticketing operations were carried out normally without major disturbances.The Korea Racing Authority and the Betting Ticket Sales Union held a total of 15 main and working-level negotiations starting August 16, during which they negotiated 110 union demands and 78 KRA demands, but failed to narrow their differences. Then, after negotiations continued through mediation by the Central Labor Relations Commission on December 15, the talks ultimately broke down without reaching an agreement, and the Betting Ticket Sales Union eventually filed a strike notification on the 20th.

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.
