I planned to keep him in check as he followed, wearing down 'Ottok-Ottoki’s' power, and save my strength to beat 'Mainstay.' But as if it were a stretch, by the time we passed the third corner, I was out of energy. People say it's because they didn't go to do good deeds, but anyone who watches the video of the race can see it all. ‘Ferdidoforoi’ is not a horse that must go to good deeds to win.Honestly, it wasn't easy to decide. Many people said, “You have a family in Busan, you can ride horses well and make a lot of money there, so why go to Seoul and suffer?” I talked a lot with my wife and also discussed it extensively with Trainer Kim Young-kwan. My company also suggested that I try a different atmosphere by moving to Seoul, so I ended up relocating.

During his tenure as head of the Rural Development Administration, he promoted projects such as the development of smart farm technology, the establishment of the sixth industrialization of agriculture, export expansion, and mechanization of field farming, emphasizing that "these were achievements that could not have been realized without understanding the difficulties faced on the ground." Therefore, he stated that, “Without customers, there are no companies, so we must always view everything with sincerity from the customer's perspective,” and declared this as the management policy of the Korea Racing Authority.He introduced his experience working in planning departments such as the Planning and Budget Officer, Director of Agricultural Policy, and Director of the Planning Office, where he was responsible for setting mid- to long-term plans, and shared the story of having developed a comprehensive plan for rural and fishing village development between 1989 and 1990.

The Ma-ju-na trainers didn't say it directly, but I heard it indirectly. Actually, it's not me. If I didn't have a 19-jo horse and the opponent had one, I really wanted to win and tried my best to do so. But in the end, they often lost to the 19th group. So I was misunderstood a lot. Tell Trainer Kim Young-kwan that I’ll win too. I said I was confident I could win, but I often ended up losing when it came time to race. The 19th-jo horses were that strong and tough. I was at my lowest because of those things, and then the 'Ferdidofomeroi' incident happened.

With his inauguration, the Rural Development Administration began to undergo a dramatic transformation.Through its 2014 business plan, it declared an operation centered on the field, customers, and policy, emphasizing the need for passion, determination, a sense of mission, and sincerity for the advancement of agriculture and rural areas.When the largest-ever outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza occurred in the first half of 2014, a special internal audit was conducted in addition to the Quarantine Agency’s epidemiological investigation to examine the quarantine system, and comprehensive improvement measures were developed to prevent recurrence based on the findings. To mark its 52nd anniversary, from April 1 to 11, the agency actively promoted specialized agricultural and rural content by holding a photo and video exhibition reflecting on the changes in agriculture and rural areas since the 1960s and the history of the Rural Development Administration.

2016 seemed to be a particularly lucky year. I had a great year meeting the Samgwan horse, the 'Power Blade." I am also grateful to Majo and the trainer for giving me this great opportunity. No matter how hard I work, there will be times when I appear favorable to horse racing fans and times when I don't. But I want you to know that all jockeys always work hard for the fans of horse racing. No class is unwilling to work hard. Everyone has days of joy and days of sadness, so I hope you’ll support all the riders, and that everyone achieves great success.

The Rural Development Administration is credited with achieving such diverse results thanks to Lee Yang-ho’s extensive experience and philosophy in agriculture and rural affairs, which is research- and field-oriented, perfectly aligning with the agency’s mission. It is also worth noting that through the Competency Development Division, the administration has contributed to demonstrating its capabilities both internally and externally by focusing on in-house training. In the 2013 Public Officials Education and Training Evaluation, it was selected as an outstanding institution in the field of educational program operation and received the Prime Minister’s Citation, and in 2015, it was chosen as the top institution.

He debuted in 2005, and until 2012, his win rate gradually began to increase little by little each year. After two years since my debut, I completed my probationary period and went to the military. I won 45 games in my rookie year and served two years in the military. I returned in 2009 and raced for five months. I didn't ride much in 2009, but my results were good in 2010. I changed teams, and my grades have been improving since 2010, but I got involved in something related to horse racing that was bad. When I returned after a year off, I worked even harder, worried that people might view me negatively for the parts of my past where I had committed wrongdoings.I thought that maybe I should have different skills to get more riding.

So I started creating my own skills using a whip. I changed the whipping. They created something called the 'whirlwind whip' that was incredibly powerful and striking. While others hit repeatedly with one strike, the whirlwind whip is a technique of striking while rotating the arm. Every horse that ran performed well. Both the popular horses and the less popular ones have improved their performances to some extent. By showing that he handled things firmly, he rose rapidly and his popularity grew.After I won the race and reached the top, and since Trainer Kim Young-kwan is also one of the best trainers, I heard a lot of criticism. It's the 19th class, and if you meet the 19th class in a race, they'll go easy on you, and so on.

Chairman Lee Yang-ho reflected that, at the time, agriculture was in a very difficult period due to the Uruguay Round negotiations, and to overcome this, he introduced the “Farming Cooperative Corporation” and the “Agricultural Company Corporation” for the first time, as well as the concept of “agricultural promotion areas,” laying the foundation for our agricultural policy. He also revealed that a self-help fund system was introduced, where farmers, organizations, and the government pool resources to study ways to promote consumption.Their work philosophy is guided by the motto, “Stay one step ahead, look far ahead, and do your best,” emphasizing the importance of efforts to prevent problems before they occur. Chairman Lee also said, “While putting out the immediate fire is important, it is equally important to look toward the organization’s direction in the mid to long term.”

And also in the latter part, during the “Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Cup,” some horses suddenly gained strength and produced good horses. Last year, there were no clear opponents for Power Blade. At least there was 'Ottok-Ottuk-i' in the same group, but it was a sprint horse. The biggest turning point is the KRA Cup Mile. There was a difference between being able to win and not. At that time, his condition was very poor. We won even in a poor state. This is truly a capable phrase. At the Korean Derby, I was certain I would win as soon as I started training. The horse was in excellent condition.

If I didn't have a 19-jo horse and the opponent had one, I really wanted to win and tried my best to do so. But in the end, they often lost to the 19th group. So I was misunderstood a lot. Tell Trainer Kim Young-kwan that I’ll win too. I said I was confident I could win, but I often ended up losing when it came time to race. The 19th-jo horses were that strong and tough. I was at my lowest because of those things, and then the 'Ferdidofomeroi' incident happened.

Chairman Lee Yang-ho said that while his inauguration is a great personal honor, the public’s perception and opinion of the Korea Racing Authority are not entirely positive despite various efforts, and that he believes the organization must be made a company loved by the people.In response to a question about how he would incorporate his 30 years of public service and experience in agricultural promotion into his management principles, he stated that during his tenure as head of the Rural Development Administration, he would adhere to the principle of 'providing work centered on farmers, field experts, and government officials.' He also said, “It means that listening to the voices of customers and the field is important, as we should pursue work centered on customers and the field, listen to their opinions, resolve their difficulties, and turn them into policy,” in the spirit of “customer-first and field-oriented operations.”
