From the moment I started as a trainer,I believed that the true owners of horse racing are the horse racing fans and each race,and that belief remains unchanged to this day.He stated,I have worked with the mindset that I must serve my masters well.At the award ceremony,Assistant Instructor Ha Jae-heung said,It was not easy to be selected because the criteria for becoming an honored assistant instructor are very strict. I consider it an honor.Since there are many outstanding juniors,

However, electronic cards are an unprecedented regulation that assumes all horse racing customers are potential gambling addicts. There are also many alternatives, such as limiting the number of people in the garden and using the internet. He said, “A thorough analysis of the policy’s ripple effects must come first.”As the Supervisory Committee pushes for the full adoption of electronic cards, criticism is growing that the legal gambling industry is being killed while illegal gambling is being encouraged.According to the committee’s investigation, the scale of illegal gambling, which had reached 53 trillion won in 2008, surged to 75 trillion won over four years, increasing by a staggering 22 trillion won, due to excessive regulations on legal businesses such as the total sales cap system, limits on the number of business locations, adjustments to purchase limits, and bans on online sales.

Over 35 years, he appeared 10,535 times and won 937 times. As a result, he became the first trainer to pass the honorary trainer selection criteria, which comprehensively evaluate factors such as more than 15 years of experience, over 5,000 appearances, more than 800 wins, and disciplinary actions.Assistant teacher Ha Jae-heung, known as a loving wordsmith and a diligent learner, expressed his feelings about leaving the stable,

A Korea Racing Authority official said, “The Gambling Supervisory Committee argues that the collection of vein patterns through the introduction of electronic cards is not personal information and can be done without identifying individuals, but the risk of a clear personal data leak is high, and it constitutes a human rights violation, such as treating horse racing fans as potential gambling addicts.” He added, “The committee is pushing this through for the sake of its achievements, and although the chairman of the committee said in January that it would apply the law to all legal gambling industries without exception, he changed his stance just two weeks later, showing a double standard by excluding the lottery.”

Kim Jong-guk, head of the Korea Racing Authority’s Racing Headquarters, and Ahn Byung-gi, publicity director of the Seoul Trainers Association, attended and congratulated them by presenting pure gold commemorative rings, trophies, and bouquets.Trainer Ha Jae-heung is nothing less than a living witness to Korean horse racing. Trainer Ha entered the horse racing world in 1972 as a jockey, and made his debut as a trainer in 1983 when he opened the 35th stable.

Every university vacation, I attended speech academies whenever I had time and participated in related activities such as the university student press corps and as a reporter.He also had the unusual achievement of winning KBS’s Korean quiz show Korean Language Contest this January.It did not have a large academy that many aspiring announcers choose.Instead,he developed his planning skills as a university student reporter and as the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper.

However,behind the glamorous image of announcers lie several practical problems,he said,and aside from terrestrial broadcasters,full-time positions are extremely rare, and in particular,the career longevity of female announcers is short.She also said,These days, announcers live in an era where personal charm is important.The horse racing announcer said,Compared to star power, I tend to focus more on the horse racing broadcast itself, so I feel recognized for my expertise,

A Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs official stated that in order to develop the horse industry as a representative sixth-sector industry in agriculture during the FTA era, active participation and cooperation from the government, local governments, horse industry-related organizations, and farmers are required. This year, marking the fourth year of the five-year comprehensive plan for fostering the horse industry, the official said that to ensure concrete results, they plan to actively incorporate the opinions of private experts and others when implementing policies.As one of the key figures in the horse racing community, I believe the position where our Majoo stands is extremely important. However, having been involved and observed for more than 20 years, the fact is that we, given its importance, have not been able to speak with one voice together with a sense of community.

Since it also handles the Korea Racing Authority’s administrative tasks while conducting events such as award ceremonies, it requires not only broadcasting skills but also a wide range of expertise.Announcer Kim said,The greatest appeal of a horse racing announcer is the sense of accomplishment.Horse racing broadcasting feels like creating my own work, and by handling a variety of tasks, I can continue to grow.It was said that the fact that I could demonstrate my capabilities in many areas felt even more appealing.

There were also efforts such as holding briefing sessions and gathering opinions on site multiple times.As a result, the integrated racing system was changed from full implementation to limiting it to the upper groups (Groups 1 and 2), and the purchase cap for imported horses was adjusted from complete openness to $50,000. Separately, a four-year investment plan of 73.3 billion won has also been prepared to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic horses. Some members of the Majo faction opposed the innovation plan that went through this process, and the hastily formed emergency countermeasure committee went so far as to deny the existing negotiation results and demand a complete renegotiation. There was neither dialogue nor consultation in preparing the innovation plan, and the Korea Racing Authority was devastated by the situation of being sold.

He added,The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will continue to support and nurture outstanding rural convergence industry enterprises that link rural resources with secondary and tertiary industries to increase farmers’ income and revitalize rural regional economies.The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs selected CEO Kang Soon-ok of Sunchang Jangbonga Farming Cooperative Corporation in Sunchang County, Jeollabuk-do, as this month’s Rural Convergence Industry Person of the Month.

CEO Kang Soon-ok is also dedicated to preserving the jang of Sunchang. They are working to pass down Sunchang jang’s excellent production techniques to the next generation and to continue its tradition, such as linking it with local attractions and offering visitors demonstrations of making traditional gochujang.In particular, they donate sauces, pickled vegetables, and other items every year to the “Iksan Happiness Sharing Market,” a permanent free market that provides daily necessities to low-income and crisis-affected households.

By developing high-quality sauces using local specialties and products incorporating proprietary patented technology, they are leading the globalization of Korea’s traditional sauces.

The qualification requirements are strict, and with the ongoing losses, cases of people quitting after just a little are becoming increasingly common. If the horse handler is frequently replaced, it will cause difficulties not only for the association but also for the Korea Racing Authority and the implementation of horse racing. If there is enough affection for horses and basic maintenance costs can be covered, I hope the door can be opened to hardworking professionals and more people.

In the area of management improvement, the plan is to jointly promote the student horseback riding experience program with local governments to create conditions for popularizing horseback riding and to support horseback riding facilities in improving their actual management. Starting this year, the plan is to consider introducing a horseback riding facility grading system based on verification of horseback riding facilities, encouraging excellent facilities to attract more horseback riding customers, while providing management consulting support to underperforming facilities and sharing best management practices of horseback riding facilities to help improve the management environment of these facilities.

It was a national embarrassment.After forcing himself to run, even at his own expense of 120 million won, his horse was ruined. After retiring at age four, it should have been brought into the country to be used as a stallion in breeding, but after arriving here, it was never even able to prove its worth as a stallion because it was not verified. If a horse has been sent abroad for racing, the Korea Racing Authority should not only retire it but also provide additional management and include it in free breeding,

They focused on normalizing the abnormal by cutting employee welfare to a level acceptable to the public, and by introducing a performance-based system at a private-sector level, such as top-down draft personnel changes to strengthen competition. In this way, after painful self-reflection, a desperate reconsideration of the horse racing product, which has been shunned, is needed for “horse racing innovation.” It was a judgment.If I were to sum up horse racing innovation in one phrase, it would be "openness, competition, and market expansion." It is to raise the quality and value of horse racing products and turn the current crisis into an opportunity for rebirth. To this end, after consultations and coordination with related organizations, in January 2015, we completed the final draft centered on the rating system, raising the purchase price cap on imported horses, and implementing integrated racing limited to Group 1 and 2.

Our horses can only run after the foreign horses have finished training at 6 o’clock. If it’s an international race, we should train together, but since the track is already a complete mess, can we really train properly if we start late. Even if you send a caretaker and spend a lot of money on an expedition, the stable doesn’t even have CCTV. Instead of the privileges and advantages of home ground, we prepare for the tournament in an unfavorable situation.

Compared with the original 3:4 ratio, the proportions do not match. Moreover, Seoul will have a bi-open race, while Busan will hold all races as open races. I think we should open everything up and head to the open racecourse. We can coexist only by giving up vested interests and uniting.The plan for next year’s horse racing is in full swing, but I think the prize money system in Seoul should be fixed first. In Seoul, the prize money was incorrect. In the case of this Korea Sprint,

First of all, this Korea Sprint event was really disappointing in many ways. I took good care of it, and it was in great condition, so I had high expectations. There was a solemn goal: for the Return of the Pogyeong Line” to win, to uphold South Korea’s pride, and to serve as a stepping stone toward Part 1. There were interruptions and the plan didn’t go as intended, but you saw how wildly he ran on the final stretch, didn’t you. If it had been just 10 meters longer, we would have won.My grandfather used to ride horses,
