However, Busan seems to be more competitive because Let's Run Park Seoul operates horse shops at the association level, and Let's Run Park Pukyeong operates private horse shops. Mainly, Seoul feels small and tight, and Busan feels large in a straight line. There is no special secret. I was lucky to meet good people and horse managers. I think the secret is meeting good people around me. My group uses Irish feed called 'Red Mill' and it's okay for me personally. There is no special difference in teaching style from other groups. However, they are constantly teaching at regular intervals. In the case of other Korean groups,

Among the second-generation horses, the Younghee Era and the Durebak in Gyeongju are drawing attention. The Younghee Era is a horse that can run well enough in the future with two wins out of three, and the Durebak in Gyeongju is still improving, so his future is promising. "Wishmirak" also has a chance to play in the first division with two consecutive wins in the second division. Party Again and Invincible Wonderful, both of which are currently on vacation, are also capable enough to be in the first division even though they are the third generation horse this year.

First of all, I am sorry about the recent horse manager incident at Let's Run Park in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province. The working hours of foreign horse managers are almost the same as in Korea. However, the treatment of Korean horse managers is decent in that they receive a certain portion of the prize money. Some European countries, including Ireland, also have regulations that a portion of the prize money should be paid, but compared with the treatment, Korea is okay.Although he failed to run in the last race, he is a horse that has consistently played well in the first division, and has high expectations for his performance.

Due to that influence, he has been raised in an environment familiar to horses from an early age. In most foreign countries, people who match the outcome of the race by betting is also enjoyed as a leisure. It is common for people who visit the racetrack with their families to make light bets on weekends. Currently, in the Korean horse racing community, it seems that they are doing well to strengthen their competitiveness. For example, they are doing well in holding international competitions such as the 'Korea Cup' in Korea or sending excellent Korean racehorses to Dubai and Singapore. If this way, there is a good chance if they increase their contact with international horse racing.

Recently, the Korean Horse Association and racehorse producers have introduced excellent seed horses from the United States, which will greatly contribute to the development of Korean horse racing. As the number of good horses in pedigree has increased, good results can be expected. Recently, the composition of people visiting the horse racing park has diversified to include family customers accompanied by young children and young people who came to play with lovers or friends, in addition to horse racing fans who enjoy horse racing. I think it is currently a process of transforming into a healthy leisure sport.

My family is deeply connected with horses. My grandfather and father taught in Ireland, and other family members have jobs related to horses, such as assistant teacher and jockey. I have actually been an assistant teacher since my debut in Malaysia in 2010, but I have been living with horses for a long time. Korean horse racing is showing many developments now. Compared to three years ago, the level of horses, the assistant teacher's teaching skills, and the rider's ability to ride have improved considerably. It can be said that the overall level of Korean horse racing has improved. Particularly encouraging is that excellent foreign seed horses are being introduced.

So I visited Korea for an interview, and when I came in person, I liked all the facilities and conditions. And I was confident that Korean horse racing could develop, so I chose to go to Korea boldly. I don't think there is much difference. If you have to compare, there are some differences in the main. In Europe and Malaysia, there are many races on grass besides sand. Korea does not yet have grass. The difference is the difference. There are also some differences in racing style. In Korea, there are many attempts to take the lead in the early stages of the race. I try to be ahead if possible. However, there are various styles in Europe, such as chuipma and free horse,

Three years is a long time or a short time, but you must have understood Korean horse racing by seeing, hearing, and feeling it on the front lines of Korean horse racing. In addition, his performance, which is currently ranked at the top of the assistant teacher's ranking at Let's Run Park Pukyong, is proof that he is already familiar with Korean horse racing. Now, he is a member who is not just a foreign assistant teacher but is also a member of the new history of Korean horse racing, and he seemed to have affection for Korean horse racing. I check the current address of Korean horse racing from the perspective of Thomas, a foreign assistant teacher.

In response to the host's question about whether the horse industry infrastructure and variety construction are in place, he said, "The horse racing is the flower of the horse industry and a major industry that has high added value and supplies resources to the entire horse industry," and introduced the characteristics of Thoroughbred and Jeju horses. "In foreign countries, horse racing is viewed as a livestock industry, but we are over-regulating by focusing only on the factor of betting and opposing over-the-counter sales," he said, regretting his narrow view of the horse industry. Regarding the importance and significance of the KRA's Korean Horse Association's export of horse racing, he said, "Technically upgrading our horse industry by improving horse-raising skills to create good varieties and making related agreements is in line with the creative economy (of the new government) that creates innovative technologies, changes and good jobs."

What is "horse" for Professor Yang Jae-hyuk? He is said to have been scared at first of the words he used to see in his hometown when he was young. Horses were particularly silent and were large animals. That made me feel amazing. As he grew up, he was always with horses. He studied veterinary medicine at Jeju National University, which revived in 1989 when he was an undergraduate.

Although there were many inconveniences, from the research environment to salaries, Yang said, "The biggest reason was that I could teach younger students."

As a countermeasure, he also said, "We are trying to improve the horse racing tax system to raise the customer refund rate, to expand leisure tax collection grants so that incentives can go to basic local governments where over-the-counter branches are located, and to find ways to use the livestock development fund and special reserves, which are profits from horse racing, to improve the image of the Korean Horse Racing Association."
