Looking at the horses competing in Korea, it is clear that not much has changed from the past. Still, when the domestic equestrian scene was doing well, we would buy horses in Europe and bring in quality ones. However, the horse that ran in the 2014 Asian Games is still running without being rotated. I think that if companies and others provide support, the conversation will circulate and a better equestrian environment and culture will be created.Of course. It's an important point: if the association is not operating normally,

Industrial growth and funding through horse racing are the driving forces behind the development of the horse industry; if its very essence is shaken, the horse industry loses its roots. To address the internal and external crises facing Korean horse racing, the first priority must be establishing a clear identity for the sport, and we must all remember that true change and innovation are only possible through communication and coexistence.In this rapidly changing environment, we hope that 'Racing Media' will fulfill its role as a platform for communication

Considering these two points, I think if Ma-ju does not trust the trainer, their relationship will feel awkward and no positive outcome can be expected.

Currently, Korean horse racing, with its long history, is striving to enter the ranks of advanced racing to make a new leap forward. Corresponding changes and efforts are underway, including the implementation of appropriate racing operations and system reforms, as well as the breeding and introduction of superior racehorses. Despite these efforts, various regulations are weakening the racing industry's attempts to modernize the sport, and much of it is at a standstill.

It is a 'dongteja'. The Moma of 'Dongteuja' is 'Maremaid,' who produced the last of the 'Dongteuja' and has since passed away. Therefore, they hope that Dongteja will carry on the Moma lineage. To that end, I hope he goes out on the Queens Tour and achieves good results to earn the title of a Seawal. Since it is a point spread bet, the downside is the limited range of choices for horse racing events or special races.It is the 'King of Fate." Currently, he is managed by trainer Kim Nam-jung, who has a 100 million won contract, and I have high hopes; I think he will be eligible to compete in major races by next year. Also, "President"

Just as every society has its light and its darkness, countless farms have enthusiastically entered the field of domestic racehorse production over the past 30 years only to go bankrupt or close down. There is an urgent need to introduce a closure support fund system for racehorse producers equivalent to that of FTAs, so that producers facing a critical situation can seek new ways to sustain their livelihoods; this is a necessary system not only for racehorse producers but also for riding horse producers, most of whom are experiencing severe management crises.
