Kang Seok-dae, president of the Seoul Racing Authority who gave a congratulatory speech, said, "Chairman Hong Dae-yu has contributed greatly to the establishment of today's Jockey Association, and he has made great efforts for the rights and interests of the Jockey Association while serving as vice chairman of the Jockey Association. Korea's remarkable growth in horse racing, which ranks seventh in sales in the world, is the result of all horse racing officials putting their utmost efforts into their roles. Amid the global economic crisis, the horse racing industry is also going through painful times. We need to recognize the global trend and usher in a new era of leap forward. It is time for everyone to gather strength and wisdom to seek change and innovation.

Many things have improved thanks to this. "I think Hong Dae-yu, the new chairman, has a lot of work to do," he said. "As Hong Dae-yu, the new chairman, said, Korean horse racing is just the beginning. Part 2 is a sign that Korean horse racing and Korean racehorses should start to become world-class. Without a start, nothing can be achieved. Korean racing is difficult. There is a lot of work to do. It is possible when all related organizations are together in one direction. There may be difficulties and conflicts in going one direction, but I think today's inauguration ceremony is to join forces toward one goal of developing into a global horse racing. Let's work together in the future.

From now on, I am standing with a strong will to challenge myself in the history of horse racing. It is difficult to predict how the entry into part 2, the implementation of international racing, and the export of race conditions will affect Korean horse racing. However, it is clear that everyone should make an effort to make it positive. Korean horse racing should start from now on. I propose to start from this moment on. I will start from myself and the association first with a will. I will also do my best as the final producer of horse racing products, from small to small. It is not enough and insignificant, but I will do my best to deal with any bad circumstances.

What I remember in particular is that he talked about the reality of the horse riding industry to the reporter. Although it is now beyond the level of "public debate" and is about to revise the bill, few people at the time spoke directly about the pending issues in the "inner." He had a firm perception and philosophy about the horse industry as a whole, which is rare for horse riding figures. He was ahead of his time, and he had an eye to see the big picture and forest of finding the entire horse industry policy and alternatives, not just staying in horseback riding. The limitations of the riding club's self-reliance structure, conflicts in related bills, insurance and safety issues were mentioned,

Gyeonggi-do. He met then-director Kim Ki-cheon at the place, which is said to be a hideout for Malija's club and famous for horse riding classes by former national team instructors. He started horseback riding at the age of 45, and he was humble, as he burned the colorful "late wind" such as the chairman of the Bucheon City Horse Riding Association, the Korean-Japanese National Team of the Society Federation, the representative of the Gyeonggi National Sports Festival, and the chairman of the Gyeonggi-do Horse Riding Association. He just welcomed the reporter and explained the nearby Ttukbang Oe-riding Course, in addition to introducing the Holesmate Horse Riding Club.

Although the start is insufficient, we will make efforts to lay the foundation for the horse industry in Gyeonggi Province. If councils are launched on their own across the country, we can also expect national organizations. It is time for the horse industry to launch a large organization like the pig and dairy associations. I remember when Gyeonggi-do lawmakers were planning the budget, they said that other associations came and lined up, but I couldn't see the horse industry. It started with Gyeonggi-do Province and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation because there was no central point when individuals came forward.

Developed countries such as France and Germany have separate horseback riding insurance and individuals have to get insurance. It is practically difficult to change the insurance system right away, so the province, Dongbuhwaje, and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation signed a business agreement to solve the problem. It is a process of adjusting specific matters such as insurance fees. The first meeting of the council is held on April 18, and the issue of horse riding insurance is the main issue. I personally think it would be good for our council to conduct verification and induce participation in the horse industry support project that Gyeonggi Province is doing. We want to discover related projects for provincial residents and members.

This position is different from the chairman's position in the sports world. As I served as the chairman of the Gyeonggi-do Horse Racing Association, fewer people were interested in the development of the horse industry. Now that the council has officially been established, I can't help but wonder what I should do for the rights and interests of the people who run the horse racing course and those who raise horses. With the election this time, I think I really need to do what I have done, and do as well as I have done so far. I really want to find what I have to do and what I have to do. I always think about whether there is anything I can do together to solve and help people in need.

He also argued, "Local governments should also not spare administrative support necessary for opening, as off-the-shelf sales offices are a means of securing tax revenues for major local governments."In particular, he said, "The introduction of electronic cards that reduce sales and leisure taxes should be carefully promoted by recognizing that the gambling industry, such as horse racing, is also socially contributing to leisure taxes, while protecting taxes that will be leaked to illegal markets," and suggested, "Local governments should jointly seek ways to overcome the introduction of electronic cards, as more than 60% of sales are on the verge of decreasing."

Kim Jong-kook, head of the Korea Racing Authority's Fair Division, published a research paper titled "The Impact of Gambling Industry Regulations on Coordination Grants." "In order to foster the horse industry, it is better to develop it while maintaining sales of horse racing in connection with horse racing, but the reality is not. Although local governments are willing to foster the horse industry, the importance of leisure tax is very great as it becomes the main source of local governments, but no one knows the importance of it. This paper discussed that since the local government's mediation grants are the source of leisure tax, curbing horse racing with electronic cards would reduce sales,

Most racers want to win a horse race. Thankfully, I have enjoyed the honor, so I will now focus on producing good horses. Sea mares are introduced one or two times a year, and their goal is to successfully return the race mares that have retired from operating in Korea. That is why the Jama that came from between the Korean seed mares and the seed mares has been going overseas to win. That is my remaining dream. If I ever go to overseas competitions with the Korean national flag on, I want to win and give hope to Korean racers who are still working hard. There is nothing special about it. However, as all of us who like horses, we need to correct the flow of horse racing in a negative direction.

Of course. Even though he has been retired for a while, he has the body shape as it was when he was a racehorse and runs around with full of energy. Assistant teacher Yoo Byung-bok even said with a smile that he might have made him retire. Richard Ranchor at Isidol Ranch also joked that he had retired in Korea, so why don't we go abroad and debut? Of course, I look at it now and it is a wonderful horse, but I still don't regret retirement. Of course, I have no doubt that even if he didn't retire, he will show enough ability in regular races. However, what is the use of a famous horse that dominated horse racing to save face by winning a regular race? I don't think it is an honor for a famous horse.

I hope that donating in the name of the racehorse is an extension of his affection for the horse. It was so unfortunate that the outstanding famous horse made a brilliant achievement on the racetrack, but the name became blurred after retirement and later erased from memory. Thankfully, I thought that the racehorse, which gave me great joy and gave people happiness, will remain a good memory for many people for a long time. So I donated in the name of the racehorse, and the response was so good. It is rewarding. Now, I am donating through "Fruit of Love", but I am giving back the love I received for looking for a donation destination.

For nearly three or four years, I even forgot what my daily job was. But it was only to a certain extent and I didn't know much. Somehow, the results were good, and other people who face me know as much as I do. Producers are much more professional in the field, and the depth of knowledge is considerable. Of course, after debuting face to face in the first year, I finished the year with only two wins, and the next year I only won three. Not to mention the winning rate. Maybe that was what stimulated me. Should I say that it stimulated the desire to win? I think trying to find an answer is something I have done all my life and something I have to continue to do.

Little Fork was purchased after visiting the U.S. ranch in person. At that time, Value Play, the half-brother of Little Fork, was doing well in Seoul, so there was considerable interest in Little Fork in the production world. However, as it was popular, the amount was considerable, and I made the bold investment. I bought it at an auction. The Dixieland Band, the boomer of Plie, was so popular that Jamais swept the top ranks in Korea at the time, and most of all, it is a seed horse that I like very much. When I was working as a seed horse, I liked his lineage so much that I visited the ranch in person, and I was shocked to see the horse because it was so small and ugly. It was a moment that broke all the prejudice that he had to be big and handsome.

There were many problems in the production market when I just started my face-to-face activities. Siam horses were brought in from the United States and put in horses just before culling, and among them, the so-called "it's good to get caught" doctrine prevailed. It was difficult to mix various bloodlines because the seedlings also relied only on the good seedlings provided by the horse society. It is by no means an easy challenge for them to purchase a racehorse. I thought it would be unreasonable to have no choice but to make an investment with great determination and "good to get caught" words. Of course, at first, I ran on all sides to find good horses like other faces.

They are also the breadwinners of a family, and they treat their father as others without doing their job properly and talk about him. He struggled so hard that he raised his family, which he started in a private life, and when he finally bought his own house, he was busy evicting his father and taking over the master bedroom.How does the alienated father feel when he couldn't stand the incomprehension and torch of his family? Isn't it because of the sense of crisis that if the association responds to all problems one by one? Who can understand the urgency to prevent the dissolution of the family and the instinctive loneliness within the father? After meeting him again, I had a hard time visiting the father who left home, who was at the center of all the problems. He turned down interviews several times unlike usual. He looked humble as usual, but he was biting back the cigarette that he had quit.

If there are people who are willing to participate in this project, I will give up all vested interest and actively help them by providing the know-how and systems that they have accumulated so far. It was during the regular general meeting of the Korea-China-U.S. Industrial Exchange Association held on April 9. Since then, he has remained silent for a long time. It was surprising because he would logically immediately respond to any external policy or incident that threatened the association. No one can easily bear the weight of "silence." It was not even his family who broke the silence⦠It was "the man next door." The family was shocked when they were asked to let go of their guts and stomachs, thinking, "This is a bean powder family. My father's grandfather didn't crack down on his children properly," adding, "This is my father's room that I left home because I didn't like my frustrated father." He also gave me his father's room, which he left home, asking us to scold him for him.

Nevertheless, I think that the reason why we gave so much love is because our words gave good results and were frequently mentioned in the media. I am so happy to have made memorable words for my fans from each other, and I think it is my homework to be able to return the love you have given me. The competition between the two sides is very fierce in Pukyong, where I belong. It is true that receiving attention among them has sometimes come as a burden. I have been thinking a lot and talking a lot with myself to get rid of that burden. Since it is not a complete decision to face each other, I am making plans by consulting with assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan.

I am deeply sorry. I have done my best in my six years as president, but I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. I have always considered the position of president of the association as power, and I am showing signs of internal division due to public speculation as if I would be doing so even further. To me, the position of president of the association is not a power, no more than a volunteer position. Obviously, I do not understand this misunderstanding occurring despite the fact that the official board of directors has stated that there is no second term in office at the General Assembly. Six years ago, I did my best to develop the poor association and raise its status.

At a time when a number of people have given up on face-to-face qualifications in recent years and new face-to-face application rates have decreased, concerns about "what is a face-to-face?" Now, can Chung Young-sik, who has been reborn as the representative horse of Korean horse racing, answer this question.

However, as much as possible, I refrain from administering sedatives. If a horse is sedated, it will depend on the drug from the beginning in the next dental treatment. If a horse is adapted to the fact that it is managed sufficiently without sedatives, it will be accepted without much resistance in the second, third, or fourth treatments. The first thing that can be done is that it is directly related to nutrition. In the case of racehorses, since they eat feed, their teeth sharpen much faster and are more likely to develop ulcers compared to eating only grass. If left unattended, they cannot chew properly and cannot digest food, which will inevitably affect their ability to racehorses due to insufficient nutrition.

Systemically, it seems that it needs to be supplemented. The importance of dental care has a direct impact on the ability and ability of horses. Among the horses that I looked around this time, there were cases where there were many wounds to the cheeks or tongue due to poor dental care, and it was confirmed that there were still tooth teeth or broken teeth. It seems that he reminded me of the importance of teeth by looking at the teeth of horses in person and talking with veterinarians, assistant teachers, and managers. I hope this visit will be a good opportunity. It is not too dangerous if friendship is formed. The most important thing is respect and trust in horses.

Purely, there should be a sense of calling for the development of the horse industry. I have to end the beating and hurting myself. Otherwise, my successor will repeat the same thing. Times have changed, but people don't change, they have to change. The concept of subsidies and the Hallama Association should also change. Personally, I feel very sorry.Early on, people around them often advised that dealing with the "Hallama" issue would ultimately lead to a headache and no benefit. The group said that they would only meet and fight and that Hallama would eventually disappear because he is a hodgepodgepodge. How much has its status changed four years later? However, the mistakes of history are repeated. Jeju Island and the horserace community are in a tug-of-war, overshadowing the agreement to foster it as Korea's representative horseback riding brand.

The first time I saw him clearly was when I saw him. It was at the Jeju Horseback Riding Park on Nov. 16 when the 2013 Jeju Open endurance championship took place. He was dressed in a dark face, a shabby suit, and kept smoking and following people around, looking tacky. Unlike other heads of organizations who act like secretariat members or act like VIPs without any substance, it was ridiculous for everyone to be alone. He also criticized the journalist for not being comfortable and not giving up neutrality and objectivity, and he said to those who worked with him, "Thank you," "Good job," and "I'm sorry." He is a true leader and an inclusive leader.
