She was more agile than anyone else when she worked and her voice was firm on the phone. Ahn Hae-young, whom I met on Sep. 13 near Baekma Garden, which is currently under construction in Wahley, Jeju Island, was able to live a new life thanks to the words, which made her a living like a "haenyeo" from the horse industry. To her, words were a matter of "eating and living." Twenty years ago, her husband had to be hospitalized for a long time because of an accident. In desperate moments, she had to make a living instead of her husband. She started a sushi restaurant nearby while working at the hospital. There were quite a lot of customers because they insisted on only natural production, but my husband moved to Seoul and had to close the restaurant.

After the early morning training on the 28th, the volunteers visited the Central Hope Sharing Service Center of the Korean Red Cross located in Anyang International Distribution Complex around 10 o'clock and conducted "bread sharing volunteer work" for about seven hours. Under the guidance of the instructor at the service center, the participants, who were inexperienced but showed enthusiasm for their service, made more than 500 muffins and sweet red bean bread themselves, and delivered the packaged bread by visiting the Hope Center of the Children's Helping Movement Headquarters for incurable diseases located around Hogye-dong. In addition, they visited M House, a multi-cultural family help facility near Deokcheon Village where Junma Apartment is located,

As the second business agreement period with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province ended on December 31 this year, the Korea Racing Authority signed the third business agreement at Samda Hall on the second floor of the provincial government on the afternoon of the 16th. Through this third agreement, the Korea Racing Authority will increase the number of relay races in Jeju racetracks from 320 times a year (the second agreement period) to more than 430 times, and Jeju Island will reduce the leisure tax reduction rate by 2 percentage points from 25 percent to 27 percent.Last year, Jeju's revenue from Jeju's relay race amounted to 53.2 billion won (53.2 million U.S. dollars), accounting for 65 percent of Jeju's 81.7 billion won in local taxes, and 63 billion won is expected this year. Jeju expects to increase its revenue by more than 1 billion won due to the expansion of the race.

International open races open to foreign countries are scheduled to include Ttukseombae, TJK Trophy, and KRA Cup Classics. The existing best mare series is expected to proceed the same as this year, but the 3-year-old series is known to be in flux. This is because the livestock development fund, which is the source of the 3-year-old series, is gradually decreasing. The Korean Horse Association is also considering reducing the number of incentives, but the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is concerned that the amount may be further lowered if the number of horses to be targeted is reduced based on two male and female horses. According to the Korean Horse Association, which is planning to implement horse racing in 2016, the Korea Cup will be newly established in September next year to invite foreign racehorses to Korea in accordance with the steps of internationalization.

Japan, Singapore, and Dubai, where the two countries have concluded quarantine inspections, are taking for granted as Korean racehorses have also run away races. The Korean Racing Authority is also considering inviting Hong Kong, the U.S., and European countries. To that end, an international racing task force team will be formed to push for the successful hosting of the Korea Cup. However, it is expected to be a major variable as it is difficult for the Korean government to conclude the quarantine inspection quickly in order for racehorses from countries that have not yet signed a quarantine inspection between countries to participate. Officials from the Korea Racing Authority diagnosed that the prize money should be more than 400 million won (468,400 U.S. dollars), but they expect a significant number of foreign racehorses to participate in the Korea Cup, which will cost more than 700 million won (468,400 dollars).

It was a time to think about the common part of Korean horse racing and talk head-to-head."Given that the prize money for horse racing is expected to remain unchanged next year from this year, the Korea Cup and the Korea Cup Sprint international invited races, which will cost 1 billion won and 700 million won, are expected to become the best horse racing competitions in Korea. "We have Hong Kong, the U.S. and European countries in mind, in addition to Japan, Singapore and Dubai, which have been quarantined for the first time," said an official from the Korea Racing Authority. The number of invited races will be less than eight, and there will be no special restriction on qualifications. The committee will be formed to select candidates for domestic as well as foreign racehorses.

Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said at the general meeting of the management strategy meeting, "I would like to thank all employees once again for their hard work at the end of 2015," adding, "In 2016, we will promote management innovation with customer satisfaction as the top priority, and we will make sure to create tangible results by teaching on the other hand, not only this year's performance but also the somewhat sluggish areas in the business promotion." Meanwhile, employees of the Ma Association and related organizations who attended the management strategy meeting said, "The overall evaluation seems to have improved as the management strategy meeting where everyone attends has been repeated. It seems that there is a sense of responsibility that everyone participates in management together, not the Ma Association, which is driven by some management.

At the management strategy meeting in February, the heads of the 13 headquarters presented core tasks in person and held a 12-hour meeting to share the management philosophy of the chairman. In addition, a management strategy meeting was held in the first half of the year to discuss major pending issues in the horse racing society, including constant management innovation and the globalization of horse racing. All employees from 10 headquarters in Seoul, Busan and South Gyeongsang Province, and Jeju attended the management strategy meeting in the first half of the year. At that time, the 10 headquarters held a meeting to announce the performance and progress of each headquarters in the first half of the year and to share strategies and detailed tasks in the second half.

More than 600 people, including executives and employees of the Korea Racing Authority and horse racing-related organizations and producers' associations, attended the meeting to share 2015 innovation cases by headquarters, including "Globalization of Horse Racing," "Advanced Marketing," and "Management Innovation," and major 2016 visions such as "Creating a Let's Run Park Seoul Theme Park," "Internationalization of Horse Racing Products," and "Global Marketing."

Regarding the introduction of a fixed rate system for horse racing prize money, which has not yet reached a complete agreement, the Seoul Racing Association intends to first realize it and discuss the conversion of the fixed rate system as the current amount of horse racing prize money is set lower than the actual input cost of the opponent, such as not properly reflecting the actual 1,800 heads of race horses and 890 heads of annual introduction. Among the minor changes, the Korea Racing Authority initially proposed to increase three races in 2016, eight in 2017, seven in 2018, and 10 in 2019, but through consultation, it agreed to increase one listed race at the Pukyong Racecourse in 2016, one listed race in Pukyong in 2017 and one grade race in Seoul in 2018.

In addition, the Korea Racing Authority will use the resources raised by the leisure tax reduction to promote the improvement of Jeju horse racing facilities and the strengthening of functions. The abolition of the purchase ceiling for foreign horses is because the Seoul Horse Racing Association argued that the price limit needs to be verified for a certain period of time as the purchase ceiling has been raised to $50,000 this year, and that it is impossible to abolish or raise the price limit until the competitiveness of domestic horses is secured. The Seoul Horse Racing Association also strongly opposed the mountain horse integration race, saying that the competitiveness of domestic horses was revealed as the first and second-class mountain integration races, which have been implemented since this year, showed poor performance as feared.

The Korea Racing Authority's push to host the Korea Cup International Invitational Race is included in the horse racing innovation measures already announced in 2007 as part of the internationalization that has been steadily pursued. At that time, the goal was to promote international racing in three stages from 2015 to 2016. In addition, the mid-term innovation goal of the Korea Racing Authority's first horse racing innovation plan this year included the hosting of the Korea Cup in 2016. Already, the Korea Racing Authority has held the Asia Challenge Cup this year and held an international race involving Japan and Singapore.If this year's Asian Challenge Cup was a half-way international race only played by Asian countries such as Japan (racehorse belonging to the Oi Racecourse) and Singapore, the Korea Cup, which will be newly established next year, is expected to be an international race in name and reality.

Since the first half of this year, the Korea Racing Authority has been pushing for a two-stage horse racing innovation plan to create synergy with the first-stage horse racing innovation plan. The society delivered the second-stage horse racing innovation plan to related organizations in early April and held working-level discussions. The society planned to finalize and apply the detailed plan for each of the second phase of horse racing innovation projects in July, but the plan was delayed due to opposition from related organizations and the change of consultation. A source from the society said, "The coordination with related organizations on the second phase of innovation is in the final stage. It is expected that much of the plan will go according to the original plan. It will be finalized and applied by mid-January next year."

Starting next year, some of the walls in the Seoul-Pukyong area will be broken. First of all, the racehorse trade between Seoul and Pukyong, which took effect this year, will be temporarily suspended from next year, and one horse per person will be allowed to join the company next year only. However, in order to prevent the supply-demand imbalance between racetracks, the consignment scale should be the same as the other, but it cannot exceed the maximum range of 20%.The horse racing prize money payment method proposed a plan to directly settle the consignment management fee between teachers and assistants and change it from monthly to weekly, but as a result of the consultation, the consignment management fee deduction work will be transferred to the face-to-face association and the prize money payment cycle will be maintained on a monthly basis.
