The seat quota system (designated seat system) was expanded and reflected annually in November 2014 in accordance with the Prime Minister's Office's plan to consolidate the gambling industry (off-the-shelf sales office), and the general rooms currently in operation will be gradually converted to a seat quota system, in accordance with government guidelines to improve the use environment of over-the-counter sales offices. Meanwhile, horse racing officials point out that the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy raised the issue that "the horseracing society prohibits credit card payments for horseracing purchases and treats them only with cash, which is contrary to the government's policy and is an impure intention to undermine the horseracing society." The Korea Racing Authority held a meeting with Jangheung County to discuss ways to develop the horse industry and announced its plan to come up with measures to improve support for horse production farmers in Jangheung County.

Executive Director Park worked in the fur and leather sectors, and I was in the transportation sector. I got acquainted with him as he transported a lot of fashion. While going their separate ways, I encountered various difficulties, so I wanted to work together to do something. So, in August 2015, instead of Modniye Dream, there was talk of creating a horse-riding brand that specializes in horseback riding and establishing a company specializing in horse-riding fashion. So, he established Penakova Korea. He took over all rights, including intellectual property rights related to horse-riding, that Modniye Dream had. That's how he established the Penakova Korea subsidiary in August 2015.

It explained that the admission fee for over-the-counter sales was made in July 2011 under Article 5 of the Korean Racing Authority Act, and that the fee was separately charged to customers who wanted to use the member room (2005) or the designated seat (2008). Currently, the legal admission fee for over-the-counter sales offices is 2,000 won. However, as the Korean Racing Authority provides services and implements a designated seat system, various usage fees are charged according to the conditions of each over-the-counter sales office. The Korean Racing Authority said it is faithfully paying 10% of VAT on service fees provided other than admission fees, and that service fees are differentiated according to the occupancy area per person, seat type, release machine and monitor arrangement, interior level, whether additional services (snack, beverage information paper, etc.) are provided or not, and unit price.

There are many reasons why Triple Nine was able to come this far, including good management, but most of all, I think it is because of many horse racing fans who supported Triple Nine. At the end of last year, thanks to the enthusiastic support of horse racing fans, Triple Nine was selected as the annual representative horse for the second consecutive year. I really want to thank horse racing fans. The Dubai World Cup performance was not good, but I think I sent Triple Nine to Dubai well. Like baseball and golf, we should spread around the world with Korean horse racing. I think "Triple Nine" played a little role, just as Park Se-ri appeared when Korean golfers were unable to enter the world stage in the past,

He also called for a strict investigation by the tax authorities, saying, "The horseracing society is explaining that it is paying VAT on facility usage fees separately in addition to VAT equivalent to 2,000 won in admission fees, but it is still suspicious whether it is actually paying appropriate VAT." He also called for a strict investigation, saying that since horseracing bans credit card payments for horseracing purchases and treats all horseracing sales of more than 7.6 trillion won in cash, there are concerns about income evasion or tax evasion.The Korea Racing Authority explained in a press release that "the Korea Racing Authority is faithfully paying additional taxes on admission fees and usage fees" in connection with the allegations raised by the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy.

Last Sunday, there was a ceremony to deliver the Dubai World Cup merit plaque at Pukyong, Let's Run Park. I jokingly said this there. "Our horses will stay in a good stable like a hotel for 3 to 4 months and then come back to Korea, and I'm worried about whether they will be able to adapt well." Dubai's stable is really hotel-class compared to our stable. First of all, the floor space is large, and air conditioning is installed in each stable. And everything is comfortable. Next to it is an exercise grassland, where eight animals stay, but it is a flat area for a massage. It is unimaginable for us. It is true that Dubai is a rich country. However, even if you can't go that far, the old Masara needs to be improved first.

On the morning of the competition, it rained and stopped, and when I was running the race, it didn't rain. And the word "nani" means the international rating is 113, so he later ran a 2,000-m race in Dubai. I came in fifth place, and I was on the same plane as Masu Yoshida who came back from Dubai. How proud Masu Yoshida is of me while showing me the video. We won the match. To be honest, objectively, it is true that the difference from Japan is remarkable. The difference was huge just by looking at the number of horse racing officials in Dubai. There were about 10 horse racing officials from Korea, but in Japan, there seemed to be about 30 to 40 reporters and about 100 people including the officials.

Now that I think about it, it remains regrettable what it would have been like to play only one game in the Dubai World Cup Carnival. I think I was able to participate in Super Saturday with only one head and one first place difference. Korean horses, including "Triple Nine," usually competed every five to six weeks in Korea. However, in Dubai, they competed every 20 days on average, which is shorter than this. Four races were held in three months: January 19, February 9, March 5, and March 25. The horse was such a nice horse that I didn't get a ticket on the outside, but I thought I might have exhausted my energy.

Perhaps because of that experience, he was not happy to participate in international competitions overseas and was reluctant to participate in a moment. So when I asked what horses would participate in Korea, he said that they would include "Power Blade," "Main Stay," "Department Demention," and "Seoul Bullitt." "Triple Nine" is a Korean representative horse that has been selected as a representative horse for two consecutive years, and I decided to accept the participation because I thought I had to not participate. When my horse runs in an ordinary race, I put everything aside and visit the racetrack. In fact, it is not easy to fly a long distance for 9 to 10 hours at a considerable age.

Although it was regrettable that it was 11th out of 13 horses in the last race, the Godolphin Mile Competition, it is said that it has shown a further improvement in Korean horse racing. And Choi Byung-bu, who faced "Triple Nine" until the final round, kept his promise with horse fans. To see the four competitions in which "Triple Nine" competed in person, I met Choi Byung-bu, who showed his affection by traveling back and forth to Dubai four times. I think that "Triple Nine"'s advance to the final round of the Dubai World Cup was meaningful in confirming the level of domestic horse. The footprint of "Triple Nine," a representative horse of Korea,

In addition, there is also a desire for Korean horseback riders to access a lot of books about horses. Rather than just doing something to win the prize, I think the message of horse welfare and respect for life has been recognized through books and blogs by gaining sympathy and favor from readers. I am glad that the importance of communication with horses and animals seems to be gaining sympathy and getting a little closer to people's hearts and thoughts than before, rather than overpowering them by force. I hope there will be less and less misunderstanding between horses and people in the future. I hope that horseback riding is understood as an in-my-body sport that horses

Retired racehorses should be provided with appropriate protection and a safe environment to build trust with each other while understanding their anxious psychological conditions. However, I don't think that even retired horses that have been trained as riders are suitable for beginners who are new to horseback riding. I hope that the upper and lower levels of horseback riding will handle it. In Hong Kong, 30 to 50 horses are discharged every month, but when racehorses entering the racetrack are retired, the horses usually give up their rights to the horses. When the horse is bought by the horse owner, he or she will receive the cost to send it back after being discharged, and then return it to the place where the horse was brought if he or she wants.

Usually, when you wake up in the morning, you feed them, clean the stables, and check your temperature, pulse, and breathing to know the condition of the horse. Then, you do solo grooming, dig hooves, and then move to a working machine or warm up and work out together. If you sweat, you take a bath and fill up the hay mesh. Then, I leave them grazing here and there. It is a routine, even though it is flexible every time. When I first went to the Korean horserace, I was surprised by the cone. In foreign horse ranches, even beginners learn without the cone, and adults learn how to stand tall at first. Some horse rinks in Korea are divided into corn or steel pipes. I thought it would be a dangerous environment if a rider falls down.

The 50-year-old warehouse was also repaired and has been used until now, and a new stable was built on the other hand in case the weather gets cold or bad. A space for horses to be treated, a trade mill for exercise, and accommodation for students and guests visiting this place have also been made. Most of the space in the rink is literally for horses. Since I don't always stay in Jocheon, Jeju, I can't give horses every exercise. I bought trade wheat that can exercise up to six at a time in preparation for the volatile weather, which is the amount of work that one manager can do. This was also considered because exercising in the wrong way could lead to bad habits for horses.

Every year, scholarships were provided to students in need through government offices. When I lived in Noryangjin in the past, I gave scholarships of 100,000 won to 30 students every year. At that time, 100,000 won was not a small amount of money. Since the late 1980s, I have been taking my children with me to volunteer. Perhaps because of the impact, my children are still not stingy in making donations. One time, I went to volunteer with my oldest daughter to support her. After my parents passed away and I was a student living with my grandmother, but after my grandmother passed away, I had nowhere to go. Then the oldest daughter said,

However, scholarship donations have now dropped significantly. This is because even if the opposing parties donate scholarships, they do not disclose their names and there is no feedback from the scholarship recipients. While running a scholarship project, I had the pleasure of helping someone and seeing the other person expressing gratitude, but a scholarship project through the opposing party does not do that at all. Personally, I have heard that I will study hard when working on a scholarship project, but I have never received any feedback from the Busan Gyeongnam Maju Scholarship Association. The list of people who have contributed scholarships must be disclosed in order to spread the voluntary donation culture of the opposing parties.

It was a time when automation devices were introduced in Korea, but each company brought in only automation machines and drawings, so they called me after hearing my rumors. At that time, I was paid 20,000 won per day, but I briefly went to install it in the evening and received 30,000 won. A newspaper company also gave me a look when the rotary machine broke down at night and received 30,000 won each. There were many calls from the Government Complex, and the government complex said it would take long to send a car home after it broke down, adding that it would be nice to have a phone, and they installed it the next day.

Let's Run Park Busan and South Gyeongsang Province also established the Busan and South Gyeongsang Province Horse Racing Scholarship in 2007 and are actively carrying out scholarship projects until now. Many of the faces voluntarily donate and contribute to society, but among them, Kwak Jong-soo, better known as the face of 'Mr. Park', stands out. I visited Kwak Jong-soo's office in Seocho-gu, Seoul for an interview on the 24th of last month. When I entered the room, I was filled with various citations and appreciation plaques. What stood out was the certificate of appreciation I received from the National Tax Service. As an entrepreneur, I felt like I had fulfilled my duty to pay sincere tax.

When I asked the islanders, they said that they needed musical instruments such as Punggeum. At that time, Punggeum was about 1.5 million won, but they sent it to the school at their own expense. I visited the school in Ijakdo again to deliver Punggeum, and the whole school lined up on the playground and clapped their hands in gratitude. It was a cold winter, but it was impressive to see students come out to the school playground and applaud. And when can someone like me who has only lived in the industrial field as an engineer stand in the church and speak to the students? A few days later, I was more moved. Lee Jak-do students sent 70 to 80 thank-you letters home.

Some people said that they were trying to get insurance. They don't even get insurance if they're over five years old. The misunderstanding was resolved only when an explanation was posted that "Mr. Park" was not covered by insurance and that it did not have insurance. Watching it made me sad and angry. "Mr. Park" was a word that gave me a lot of joy. In a way, he is like a child. It was such a smart word that he recognized me every time I went. I felt like I was shedding tears looking at me before getting hurt, but it's sad to think about that. I could have gotten rehabilitation treatment if I were like today. It's a pity that I couldn't afford to pay attention to my business as I was busy at the time.

Many jockeys' dream is to be 'honor jockeys.' Watching Park Tae-jong as a jockey in Seoul, I also dreamed of becoming an "honorary jockey." I am sad that it was achieved in Busan, but another goal is to win 1,000 titles. And now, there are more foreign jockeys, and before I retire, I will show my assistant teachers that Korean jockeys are never behind foreign jockeys. This year, I am going to challenge for an assistant teacher's license. "Honor jockeys" are exempt from the assistant teacher examination. There are only two or three more interviews left. I plan on turning into assistant teachers after being active for two or three more years. I want to show that we Korean jockeys are never behind foreign jockeys.

Alcohol is never put on my mouth if it's not a day off even if I want to drink. It's dangerous when training at dawn, so I have to control myself. The hardest part is that I have to control myself for my job. There were a lot of words that I couldn't remember just one in particular. I don't remember the other horse being the same as me. When teaching assistant, I thought I was the first place because some horses were so compatible, but there were cases where other riders couldn't win because they had good chemistry. No matter how well they work, if their grades are poor, the riders think they didn't work well. In my case, I think I almost fit well when training.

Busan is the place I can't relax. I won 24 games this time last year, but I only won 10 games this year. I think it depends on how many foreign jockeys are introduced. My parents were interested in horses because they rode horses, and I had ridden horses once or twice when I was young with my parents. Then, naturally, I also learned about a racetrack. Originally, I was a boxer until high school. As a boxer, I also had a good performance. At that time, I participated in the National Sports Festival as a representative of Gyeonggi Province and won the runner-up prize in the light flyweight class. After boxing for 7 years, I became a candidate for the Korean Horse Association and quit.

First, each rider has his or her own know-how. It is said that when a horse is sent, it feels like putting gears in a car, but honestly, I don't know about the horse. He has his or her own feeling. I always participate in early morning training so as not to lose that feeling and not to be taken away. When the horse I trained is also in someone else's hands, the feeling of the horse's mouth changes drastically. Every jockey has his own know-how, but I think he knows a little more about horses because I have ridden horses longer than my juniors. I made my debut as a jockey in Seoul. I was playing in Seoul and was assigned here when the racetrack opened in Busan.

You need to know what you are saying and continue your training while keeping pace. In training, not only running, but also warming up your body and doing it together from the beginning to the end. In 2015, I was seriously injured. I was in a fall accident while playing, and I fractured my toe, pelvis, and waist bone. Fortunately, I was discharged from the hospital after wearing a cast without major surgery. I took a month off and went to the racetrack again without any bones sticking together. Until now, there have been many injuries that have been cracked in my bones, but there have been no major surgeries other than surgery due to broken ligaments in my fingers.
