Born in 1928 in Letterken, Donegol, South Island, Father McGrinch arrived in Busan at the age of 25 in 1953 after receiving a new service in 1951. After moving to Suncheon, he served as an aide to Suncheon Cathedral for five months, and in 1954 he came to Jeju as a missionary of the St. Golom Outpost Missionary Church and took the post at the Hallim Public Office of Central Headquarters. Witnessing the reality of Jeju, which was struggling with poverty due to the Jeju April 3 incident and the Korean War, Father McGrinch took the lead in modernization by laying the foundation for cattle farming and establishing social welfare facilities. He bought a Yorkshire pig that raised a pig from Incheon and brought it to Hallim in Jeju,

Regarding the current situation in which the union's indefinite strike is underway, horseracing customers and fans generally agree that the Korea Racing Authority, the horse racing organization, the Association of Teachers and Educational Workers, and the union are all completely ignoring customers. They claim that "customers have always been ignored and thoroughly used in Korea," and that "fans do not exist in the minds of horse racing creators." K, who claims to be a horse racing fan, said, "It is human nature to support and support the socially underprivileged position rather than the deep-rooted corporate horse racing society,

During the 2014 Gyeonggi Province Governor's Cup, I dressed up in special clothes and won, so I dressed up in purple again this time to cheer for Pinot Noir. This horse is named after my favorite wine, and I should go for a cup of Pinot Noir with the people who cheered for me today. I didn't expect much, but I think I got a good result because I had consistently experienced racing. The Dong-A Ilbo had a short distance, so I was worried that I might be catching up. I saw that this race has strength because it is a long distance of 2,000M, and I even expected to win the championship. I am happy to win for two consecutive games, and I hope it has brought a little joy to the horse racing fans. Due to the slow initial flow, I decided that the jockey might be able to take the lead and displayed a moving development.

Thanks to Pinnoir, I'm on the podium again, and I feel happy and excited every time. I was very worried that I would catch up because I hit the middle of the race. It is true that he was turning six this year. The Dong-A Ilbo thought the race was over in an advantageous way in terms of experience because of bad weather, but I am very happy that he ran so well today. I plan to manage the horse as much as possible and think about the next race.

The government should allow legal online, which can also regulate the policy direction of the gambling industry, while easing offline sales regulations to increase competitiveness with illegality by giving it an opportunity to transform into a complex cultural space." As the Internet expands its influence in all areas of life, it is impossible to clearly manage the legal and illegal areas. "The gambling industry should be managed in a more sound direction, and we should continue to race for win-win efforts for joint development through shared growth among gambling industries while preventing indiscriminate spread." Director Kim, who is deeply interested in sports and cultural welfare policy studies, said, "We intend to continue to appeal the position of the horse racing industry to the academic world with various papers to the effect that horse racing sales should be maintained stably for the development of the horse industry, and that should be accompanied by fair regulation by the audit committee."

Lastly, when looking at the situation from the perspective of horse racing fans and customers, most of whom earn less than 2 million won a month, he said, "I don't think we should pay off the customers' poor pockets and meet the greed of assistant teachers and managers,

First of all, CEO Kim Byung-hong said about the indefinite strike by the Busan Gyeongnam Racing Park branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the Busan Gyeongnam Horse Racing Authority, saying, "Don't instigate people for your own benefit by encouraging people who have done their best in their duties, such as managers, facilities, and beautification." Regarding the strike, he said, "Even if it is the right of the KCTU, you should know that horse racing is a completely different industry from other manufacturing and service industries," stressing that focusing only on income distribution rather than competition, leaving behind the fairness of horse racing through free competition, does not go well with the horse racing system.

June 2 and 4. I have participated in the Incheon Asian Games and I know how it feels, so I want to try again. I will do my best as much as I have come with a lot of help, and I hope I can return to Belgium with a smile. I really hope that Korean horseback riding will develop in the future, and for it to develop, we need a player who attracts attention and shines in Europe among Korean horseback riding players. I hope that the player becomes me, and I am confident that I will work hard. That's how I want to hear that Korean athletes can ride horses so well in Europe. It is my wish and dream to win a medal in the five most difficult stars, win a gold medal, and compete in that position.

Europe is a completely different horseback riding system from Korea and is the birthplace of horseback riding, so I am here and active. Since I was young, I thought that I should ride well in Korea and advance to Europe later. I think they treated me well to work hard. After studying, I have tried so hard that I can only ride horses and ride horses again. I represented Korea at the Asaan Games in Incheon and went out to Europe, and I realized again that I have a long way to go. I think he recognized me in the process. Since horseback riding is a sport that takes a long time to meet expectations, the gold medalist in equestrian event at the Rio Olympics is 53, so I will try my best to meet the expectations.

The reason for regulating the gambling industry started from the logic that it should be regulated because the gambling addiction rate is higher than that of foreign countries, but it is not reasonable to apply the gambling prevalence rate as a standard for setting the total sales volume by industry due to conflicting opinions among Korean scholars," Kim said in the conclusion. "The disproportionate policy to increase the prevalence rate in the total sales policy is asymmetric, so the excessive regulation should be eased in terms of equity." In this research paper, Kim advised that the horse industry should seek self-rescue measures as the gambling industry market is being reorganized into Toto and Lottery due to excessive regulations by the audit committee, and that legal gambling industries should seek a win-win plan toward a common goal of expanding the legal market against illegal markets.

Guess Korea sponsored in-kind so that I could exercise comfortably. In Europe, the horse industry plays an industrial role so that there is a saying that cash circulates because of horses. There is a circular structure, such as producing and training young horses and then selling them, or buying and growing and reselling them as young horses. In addition, there are cases where players with good horses participate in competitions and produce excellent records and sell them at high prices. It cannot be said uniformly, and it varies greatly. It is like a stock. When horses are young, they buy relatively cheap, grow and sell them again, and as this process is repeated, farmers also make some profit.

On the other hand, Korea seems to have a fierce battle for seats from the beginning and takes spurt quickly. The most common story I heard in Australia was that it had a good start. When entering the gate, the concentration is at its peak, and it is true that it was easier than others to solve the early development. If you leave the gate, you can ride it in all weather conditions according to the tendency of the horse. It may be a virtue for all riders, but I think it is a strength that they have been honing their control ability when driving and catching them on horseback. When it was in Australia, morning training was not as much as in Korea. Instead, there were actual races almost every day. Of course, if you keep riding for 10 days without a day off, it will be difficult, but even if it is, you will have to endure it if it is a necessary part to live in Korea.

Still, when the domestic horseback riding situation was good, the horses were bought in Europe and good horses were coming in. However, the horses that played during the 2014 Asian Games are not circulating and they are saying as they are. If companies and others apply, I think horses will be circulated and a better riding environment and horse-riding culture will be created. Of course. It is an important point, but it is somewhat difficult for the players if the association is not operating normally. In my case, I am working out in Europe, so the exact date of the selection match was important.

He is working out in Belgium, Europe. He is coached by coach Leaven Divos, who was a Belgian champion. I have been with Coach Leven since I was young, and I have received a lot of help. He also helped me a lot physically and mentally until I came to Korea and got a horse for the selection match. It is not common. Obviously, it was not an easy case. In my case, I had to travel from Europe to Korea, and the cost of transporting horses was not easy. An air container is required to transport horses, and it costs more than 40 million won for a round trip. I came to Korea with a lot of help, but I will work hard with the mindset that I will be selected.
