In the end, they stated, “The demands of the handlers’ union should be discussed with the trainers’ association, not the implementing authority,” and since the Chuseok horse racing event has already been announced both internally and externally, they view the implementation as a given.This year, the Korea Racing Authority, struggling to recover horse racing revenues amid various setbacks, is insisting on the necessity of Chuseok horse racing, while the jockeys’ union recognizes the need for additional races but is in a difficult tug-of-war demanding higher wages.

Also, since one cannot meet someone without being introduced, I believe that the act of meeting requires passion. Once I make a choice, I never regret it. I think it's all my fault, whether things go well or not. That is why I believe the benefits outweigh the losses when we face each other. One of the joys is that we share the joy of victory, comfort each other, and encourage one another when results are not favorable, fostering harmony within the family.It seems there was nothing majorly disappointing. However, it is unfortunate when a favorite cannot win because another horse is competing in the same race, or when a horse is injured during training or racing.

However, as the effect of sales growth remained inconclusive despite the Korea Racing Authority's efforts, they ended up expanding the number of broadcast races to compensate for the revenue shortfall of Jeju Race Park.Since everything regarding horses is fully entrusted to the trainer, the owner only has the business and doesn’t seem to have any special responsibilities. What I have felt through our encounters so far is that there is clearly potential for growth from a business perspective, and I sense that it embodies all aspects of life—fulfillment, joy, and hardship. However, the reality in our country is that people still associate mazoo with horse racing, so it is difficult to mention the word to acquaintances.

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

The court's ruling to grant the injunction is being regarded as a matter of course. Since the court notified both the Korea Racing Authority and the opposing party in July to resolve the issue through mutual consultation and issued a recommendation for settlement, the Korea Racing Authority agreed to it, but because the opposing party insisted on the closure and filed an objection, the process naturally proceeded to the point of having the injunction granted.A Korea Racing Authority official said, "As the most credible judicial institution in a country governed by the rule of law, the judiciary has made a reasonable decision," adding, "We will do our best to ensure the pilot program is implemented as planned to promptly resolve the deepened conflict following the court's final ruling."

Maju is in the position of an investor as a business entity. The horses need to be managed by experts. 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. For a while, I struggled with why I couldn’t speak my mind, but now that I’ve let go of those worries, I actually feel lighter and more at ease.It was a horse called 'High Best,” and it was the first horse I purchased through a direct acquaintance. I retired due to degenerative arthritis, but this horse is so memorable that I would call it my first love.

Even now, in the public’s consciousness, the link between Choi Soon-sil, Jung Yoo-ra, and equestrianism remains a vague negative perception of the horse industry, despite the tremendous efforts made on the ground. At times like these, diverse efforts and actions beyond that perception are needed. In that sense,sharing of Naver News holds great value. The Korea Language Industry Association is also spreading diverse shared values about people and language through the extensive SNS activities of its broadcasting division

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.

Korean horse racing is facing the challenges of globalization and the expansion of a diverse base of the horse racing and equestrian population. Some may not feel it yet, but it is true that every aspect of Korean horse racing is already facing a significant need for internationalization and the demands of the times.In particular, I believe that this year, following the successful hosting of the Asian Horse Racing Congress, preparations are becoming more visible for Korean horse racing to compete on equal footing with advanced racing nations,

The Korea Racing Authority announced that, due to the recent continued decline in sales, it will expand the number of Jeju horse racing broadcasts by one race each on Fridays and Saturdays starting this week, running a total of seven races to help cover revenue.Accordingly, on Friday race days when Busan-Gyeongnam horse racing and Jeju horse racing are held, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th races of Jeju horse racing will be broadcast, while on Saturday race days, the 1st and 2nd races of Jeju horse racing will be broadcast.At the beginning of this year, the Korea Racing Authority planned to close each racecourse park for two weeks during the summer heatwave, with all parks scheduled to be closed for one week on a biweekly basis, but due to the continued decline in sales, each park has been struggling to overcome the downturn by effectively eliminating the closure period by implementing weekly biweekly closures.

I also trust them because I have seen that the stable’s unity is remarkable, with everyone working together as one family to manage the horses.I got the impression that Assistant Trainer Kim was studying bloodlines even at the cost of sleep. He is a trainer who always carries information about horses during business trips to purchase them and makes great efforts to discover quality horses. Also, judging by how thoroughly he manages the stable, one can't help but trust him as a dedicated trainer. Trainer Kim Nam-jung is currently the president of the Trainers’ Association, and he is a trainer who earns trust through his actions rather than words—so much so that he has entrusted a prized horse called the 'Myeongun Emperor" to him.

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.
