Each country has different expectations, but in part 1 countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, and the United States, both popular and non-injured horses look closely at basic specification management and assistants. Since most of them aim to win, factors such as development and operations of riders and assistants play a big role in the outcome. In Korea, factors such as short-term assistants and winning intentions that fit the distance or organization play a bigger role in the outcome of the race, which seems to be more important. In the first place, I was not going to participate. I tried to participate in the race as a test to analyze both overseas and domestic horse races and update the algorithm, but I ended up participating again.

Park Ki-sung, head of the Korean Racing Authority's win-win business division, guided Deputy Mayor Lim Jong-seok, who visited the Yongsan OTC, to the 15th floor to explain the location of the Yongsan OTC and the actual location of the area viewed from the Yongsan OTC. Director Park said, "The current Yongsan OTC sales office has become farther from the school than before, and the number of people has been reduced, and it has been implemented in a changed form," and emphasized, "It was completed according to the laws and principles set, and 12 lanes including Cheongpa-ro and Wonhyo-ro are crossed, completely separated from the residential area."Deputy Mayor Lim said, "The Seoul Metropolitan Government, which is much larger than the horserace, is also increasingly reviewing the project if it does not fit the residents' position," adding, "Let's not just say that there is nothing wrong with the law and procedures, but make efforts to review and adjust again."

Although the Seoul Metropolitan Government has advocated for the role of coordinator in the conflict over the pilot opening of Let's Run CCC Yongsan, it has raised concerns that it may be empowering the opposition as it shows a biased view toward the opposition's argument. Lim Jong-seok, deputy mayor for political affairs of Seoul, visited the site of the over-the-counter sale in Yongsan around 10 a.m. on the 11th to talk with the sit-in residents, check the site of the internal facilities under pilot operation, and meet with officials from the horse racing society. Deputy Mayor Lim, who arrived at the site in this situation, met with the opposition committee and said, "The Seoul Metropolitan Government has talked about the opposition since Mayor Park Won-soon ran the on-site mayor's office in October last year," adding, "There is no problem in the administrative process, but we will try to find any way to solve the problem."

Rather than going to the overall rating system, I think we should protect horses by organizing separate races. The weight of the rating increases a lot, so if a good horse runs with 60kg of weight, the number of horses injured and are discharged. We hope that it will be organized so that they can compete through separate races even in order to protect racehorses. Also, let's run park, Busan, and Gyeongnam take good care of the overall management of fair horse racing. Even among the jockeys, they show the phenomenon of being concentrated only on certain horse parlors or horses, and we ask them to pay more attention to fair horse racing. Through his inaugural address, the new chairman, Kim Wook-soo, expressed his willingness to contribute

The Korea Racing Authority announced that it plans to support legal-interpretation services to help small domestic horse racing companies enter Singapore and induce early settlement to make them an example of public enterprises' innovation through shared growth. Meanwhile, the Korea Racing Authority plans to export race live performance to France, Australia, and Hong Kong starting next year to achieve KRW 1 trillion in ticket sales by 2020, and negotiations with France are reportedly making significant progress. "The Gyeongju live performance export project is the first fruit of the horse society's innovation," said the president of the Korea Racing Authority, and we will use the export of race live performance as a bridgehead for the export of domestic race horses."

This is because even foreign horses with good pedigree are inferior to domestic horses that have won the race without experience. In addition, foreign horses have to compete with horses that have won from the 4th grade, and if they train too hard to match the competition, they may break down quickly. If you buy a lot of good horses in foreign countries, you will get quality horses, and it will also help develop Korean horses. For example, if you buy an expensive foreign horse at a price of $1 million, you will not be able to win even if you participate in a horse race held in Korea and win all of them, but there will be people who will definitely pay $1 million to buy them because of their competitive edge. Since there is no added value in prize money in Korea, they will turn their attention to foreign countries,

We need to lift the price limit on horses and maintain the stance. Only then can the quality of Korean racing be improved. Some elders say that the price should be tied again, which is wrong. Then we go back to the old days. The reason why domestic horses cannot be used in foreign languages such as Japan and Singapore is because there are fewer good horses due to price restrictions. The Korean horseracing community brings in some good seeds and supports them, but they cannot beat horses bought from abroad. We need to move to an autonomous competition system. The abolition of price restrictions should allow foreign horses to be freely brought in only for new horses, and at the same time, the racing system should be changed.

Through the integration, the horses can be put in Busan and entrusted to an assistant teacher who is good at managing the horses to win the race in Busan, and the horses can also be put in Seoul and win the race in Seoul. Wouldn't it be antinomic that Korea's central horse race is in Seoul, but its performance is lower than that of Busan? There are only a few racetracks in Korea, and it should be integrated. This is because there are public opinions against it within the Seoul Racing Association. The Korea Racing Authority, the operator of the horse race, also tried to integrate the horses, and some people who are familiar with horse racing in Seoul say that integration is necessary. However, opponents with stereotypes think that if integrated, Busan horses will take all the prize money.

Horses from Let's Run Park Busan and South Gyeongsang Province are performing relatively well in the years-long integrated horse race between Busan and Seoul. The reason is largely due to the influence. Of course, there are management systematic elements, but Busan has a longer straight line than Seoul, so endurance horses perform well in Seoul, while speed horses perform well. However, the integration can also be an opportunity for the opponents, who purchase and compete for horses, because there are many options. Currently, except for the integrated race, Seoul Horse Racing allows its own horses to compete in the race at Let's Run Park Seoul, and Busan Horse Racing allows only the Let's Run Park Busan Race.

Although the Korean Horse Association and the opposition committee agreed that discussions should be held to solve the problem, it will not be easy for the committee to reach an appropriate agreement as it demands the suspension of the pilot opening and acceptance of the referendum as a precondition. The symposium was organized to find out the current status of the Korean horse industry and to explore the future direction of Korea's horse industry development through introduction and benchmarking of the French horse industry. The symposium, sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Gyeonggi Provincial Government, and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, was successful with the participation of horse producers, horse racing course operators, horse industry-related workers, related academic professors, journalists, officials from the Korean Horse Association, the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and members.

Meanwhile, some are raising concerns about the move by some politicians to make the issue of the trial opening of the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan.

Attention is focusing on how Chairman Kim's leadership and drive will lead to results, with pending issues such as improving the treatment of managers and the integration of the Seoul-Busan Face-to-face Association at the end of this year. We have included the inauguration interview in a question-and-answer format. The Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Racing Association is a corporation that the first chairman of the Jinyoung Kim made difficult in 2006. At that time, the Korean Horse Racing Authority felt somewhat uncomfortable about the establishment of the Face-to-face Association, but it was made difficult due to the constant efforts of the first chairman, which allowed me to come to the 7th chairman.

South Korea and India are likely to compete for gold, and Japan is likely to compete with China for bronze. Recently, I heard that China is investing heavily in dressage. It is said that Europe has brought in a lot of good dressage. The horses that Korean athletes ride are more expensive and have higher levels than in Japan. I know that the price of a horse for a Korean player who participates in various competitions such as the Asian Games is more than twice that of a Japanese player. In the case of Korea, the price of a horse that athletes ride varies, and players go to the U.S. or Europe to receive individual training. However, most Japanese players are active in Japan and compete by working at horse-riding clubs. In my opinion, the level of Korean is higher than that of Japan.

It is very diverse, and I think everything can be the answer. I didn't specify a single horse, and everything that participated in today's training is expected to get better. In the educational group, which was mainly focused on Jo Masak, the first words that showed dull movements became active in the afternoon, and the original words showed stable movements and all went in a good direction. The group, which was in full swing, was unstable in gagging, but rode stably after training. The education went well for the first day. In Japan, the "World Horse Racing Championships" in the United States and the "Asian Games" in Jakarta are divided into groups.First of all, the same player will change horses and compete in the overall magic.

However, Jeju, where the slope is surrounded by the sea, is already saturated with racehorse production ranches. The reality of racehorse production, which is heading toward a surplus supply, is causing fierce competition in production ranches. In addition, due to the high-priced seeds that are concentrated in the horse community, the preference for private seeds horses has declined, corporate-type production ranches have been created, and small-scale production ranches are struggling. In particular, the inland racehorse production ranch is even more severe. Despite the double suffering from urbanization and rising land prices as well as the disadvantage of the natural climate environment, the price of racehorses produced is becoming extremely low.

When it comes to JOMASAK, it aims not to be afraid of the person in the center of the horse, and it is important to build a trust between the horse and the person. It is best to run out in a hurry, and it is best to maintain a steady pace with a stable rhythm. First of all, there is no such educational material. Several horse experts have different know-how, and they are doing tailoring and training in their own way. I don't think there is a separate right answer to education. Each horse has a variety of different types of words, so a collective manual is meaningless. For example, if there are words that are insensitive to reactions, there are sensitive words, and if there are words that are naturally above the head, there are words that are below.

As the opposition committee strongly opposed the pilot opening, the society formed an emergency committee on Let's Run CCC Yongsan, headed by Chairman Si Myung-kwan, and took a company-wide action.On July 4, which marks the second week following the first week of the pilot opening, the opposition parties still continue to obstruct their businesses, such as rallies and blocking the entrance to the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan, and attention is being paid to what solutions the emergency committee of the Korean Horse Racing Association can find. Singaporean horse racing fans are very satisfied with the broadcast of the race for the first time in the history of Korean horse racing. According to the Korea Horse Racing Association, the average sales per race of eight races last Saturday was $68,440 Singapore dollars, about 12% higher than the average sales per race of Australian horse racing, which was broadcast on the same day.

Last year, trainees from vocational groups who are mostly familiar with "teaching assistant" participated in training in Yeongcheon-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Let's Run Farm Jangsu limited places. For that reason, the more the education progressed, the better the understanding and effectiveness of the trainees were, and significant progress was made. However, this year, it plans to apply a customized teaching program by gathering horses and trainees of different levels and tendencies at horse riding stations across the country.In the case of a passenger horse, the balance should be flat or at the back. Improving the balance is key to converting race-retired horses into horseback-riding horses. Going from the back to the front means faster balance, and race-retired horses use their bodies with this familiar balance.

Dirtbread, which was mainly used as a racehorse at racetracks until the mid-1990s, was used as a horse for horseback riding by itself. However, as European warmbloods began to be introduced in Korea in the mid-1990s, the technology of horse racing was naturally eliminated. Professional sports horseback riders begin to ride the warmblood, which is far more physically superior, and the skills of driving and training racehorse, which are not profitable, have not forgotten their existence. Japan continued to pass on the technology of driving and training racehorse, even though it was in a similar situation to Korea, and now it has the world-class technology of driving and training racehorse. It contains the words of Serimachi instructor, an expert in training and training racehorse.

My wife had no relationship with horses. I met her through an introduction, and as we went on a date and hang out together, my wife naturally became familiar with horses. I bought three horses and went on a lot of dates together, but that's how I got to this point. I gave my children a ride on a horse date, and seeing them was good for each other, and those things continued. I am grateful to my wife. I hope that the couple will work hard together and will be of great help in revitalizing youth horse riding, and they also have a desire to become a role model for youth horse riding clubs in Korea. In the future, I want to open a chain named after our horse riding club. I will do it with passion as much as I am called a young blood in the horse industry. Choi Tae-hoon, CEO of Yongin Pony Club,

The pilot opening of the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office, however, seemed to be fading the meaning of the pilot operation to normalize the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office, as the Yongsan Video Racing gambling site deportation committee, led by some civic groups, blocked the entrance to the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office and illegally obstructed the operation of horse racing customers. 16 people entered on June 28, the first day of the demonstration, and 171 people entered on June 29, and only 82 people entered on July 4 and 38 people entered on July 5, indicating that the meaning of the demonstration operation to normalize the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office was fading.
