If you can see the proceeds of horse racing being used for social welfare, education, medical care, and support for the poor in person, who would see horse racing negatively. There may be areas where various causes have affected it. The failure to establish a stable living base is something to be pointed out, and there is a part to work together to prevent unfortunate events from happening again. Since the two sides do not directly hire managers, there will be limitations in their role, but if there is anything that the two sides do not know, I think that recognizing them will indirectly derive improvement plans and help solve difficulties. Horse racing is also a business.

Naturally, the public interest activities of the general public are reflected in the eyes of the general public, and the perception of horse racing is also good. Even from the perspective of horse racing betting fans, there may be an idea that they don't just stop buying tickets but donate themselves to a certain extent to be used in a good part of society. Therefore, the perception of horse racing itself does not flow in a bad direction. Social public interest activities are not directly visible to the general public because Korea is run by the state and most of the profits are returned to the national treasury. Even people who buy horse racing recognize that the profits of horse racing are taken by the horse society.

Macau horse racing is one of the countries that is much ahead of us, but it has a long history. Systemically, it is not much different from Korean horse racing. However, the Macau-facing culture is different from that of Korean horse racing. Macao-facing culture does not seem to be the one that makes money by earning prize money. Rather, it has a greater social purpose through the formation of a face-to-face society. In addition, a culture of relaxed appearances is established, such as inviting acquaintances around the day of the horse racing, enjoying horse racing together, and socializing while hanging out. In that respect, it is different from Korea.

Donating in the name of words in particular, the name of the words was inducted into the Hall of Fame and it was very rewarding. When I donated, it became known through various media, so I wonder if they are looking at me as the representative face of Korea. Rather than having to donate in the name of words, I think it would be appropriate to share special income with the world because the people facing each other are somewhat economically stable. Famous wealthy people, such as Carnegie, an American steel king, and Warren Buffett, a world-class investor, show active donations. They say they consider the wealth they have earned as a blessing from God.

While running a company, he carried out a variety of public interest activities. He also actively donated because he felt that he needed to do something meaningful on the same line of existing public interest activities as he achieved great success while working face-to-face.Although horses belong to Maji, I don't think Maji's role in the process of earning money is significant. Of course, it is correct to select and invest horses, but I think it is a complex result of the contributions of assistants, riders, and horse managers in the process. Nevertheless, I thought that the prize money returning to Maju was so great that it was a blessing and a winter.

Jung Young-sik, who is considered one of the representative faces of Korea, is famous for his donation activities under the names of horses such as "Temporary Unbeatable" and "Indie Band." It is not just a few donations, but it is also contributing to the establishment of the right face that practices the spirit of "Noblesse Oblige" by continuously sharing for more than a decade. It is also well known as a familiar face to fans and the public. During the period when Jamain "Temporary Unbeatable" and "Indie Band" were on a roll with brilliant records, horse racing fans recognized their faces first, pretended to know them, and asked Jung Young-sik for an autograph.

However, Busan seems to be more competitive because Let's Run Park Seoul operates horse shops at the association level, and Let's Run Park Pukyeong operates private horse shops. Mainly, Seoul feels small and tight, and Busan feels large in a straight line. There is no special secret. I was lucky to meet good people and horse managers. I think the secret is meeting good people around me. My group uses Irish feed called 'Red Mill' and it's okay for me personally. There is no special difference in teaching style from other groups. However, they are constantly teaching at regular intervals. In the case of other Korean groups, they take two weeks off or do teaching at regular intervals,

Some European countries, including Ireland, also have regulations requiring the payment of a portion of the prize money, but compared with the treatment, Korea is okay. The champion was a horse that did not run well in the last race, but has consistently played well in the first division, and I have high expectations. Among the second-generation horses, "Younghee Era" and "Gyeongju's Durebak" are drawing attention. "Younghee Era" is a horse that can run well enough in the future with two wins out of three, and "Gyeongju's Durebak" is still improving, so the future is promising. There is a possibility that "Wishmi Luck" will now play in the first division with two consecutive wins in the second division.

Recently, the composition of people visiting the horse racing park has diversified to include family customers accompanied by young children, and young people who come to play with lovers or friends, in addition to horse racing fans who enjoy horse racing. I think it is currently a process of transforming into a healthy leisure sport. In order to bring about a bigger change in this process, it is also necessary to use horses so that the general public can see and enjoy horse racing rather than focusing on horse racing. The general public should be able to come and go naturally without hesitation. Currently, the Korean Horse Racing Association seems to be doing well to strengthen its competitiveness.

My family is deeply connected with horses. My grandfather and father taught in Ireland, and other family members have jobs related to horses, such as assistant teacher and jockey. I have actually been an assistant teacher since my debut in Malaysia in 2010, but I have been living with horses for a long time. Korean horse racing is showing many developments now. Compared to three years ago, the level of horses, the assistant teacher's teaching skills, and the rider's ability to ride have improved considerably. It can be said that the overall level of Korean horse racing has improved. Particularly encouraging is that excellent foreign seed horses are being introduced.

Three years is a long time or a short time, but you must have understood Korean horse racing by seeing, hearing, and feeling it on the front lines of Korean horse racing. In addition, his performance, which is currently ranked at the top of the assistant teacher's ranking at Let's Run Park Pukyong, is proof that he is already familiar with Korean horse racing. Now, he is a member who is not just a foreign assistant teacher but is also a member of the new history of Korean horse racing, and he seemed to have affection for Korean horse racing. I check the current address of Korean horse racing from the perspective of Thomas, a foreign assistant teacher.

Since most of the people facing each other are people with that kind of business mindset and level, if you go and see and learn what they are doing wrong, you can be willing to improve. Also, the people facing each other will have complaints. I think it is necessary for the implementation to actively accept these points, review them, and give feedback.Whenever people ask, I say I've never lost money every year. I think so, too. If I invest 5 billion won and still have 5 billion assets, I haven't lost yet. And wouldn't it help develop Korean horse racing if there's someone like me? I love horse racing.

Although the development has been made dramatically compared to the past, the domestic horse racing industry is still at the level of underdeveloped countries. There are areas that need to be gradually improved over time, and the improvement of the environment of the horse race is one of them. I hope the horse race society will also make efforts to improve the environment for the horse race. The horse race will make efforts to change on its own, but it may change faster if the Korean Horse Association, which is a horse race implementer, provides factors to change the environment for the horse race.

Rather, it would be not the development of horse racing, but the regression of the backward movement. I think efforts are needed to make up for the shortcomings by referring to the institutional system currently implemented in Let's Run Park Seoul rather than direct employment. Rather than roles, the faces also say that their minds should change first. Although they have invested, there are many faces who want to make a profit right away when they watch over a certain period of time. Those thoughts are wrong. A lot of improvement is needed. The development of horse racing eventually leads to the growth of the country and the growth of horse society

Everyone did not negotiate faithfully for their own benefit. Not everyone is to blame, but everything is to blame. The horse society, assistant teacher, and horse manager are all to blame. There should never be strikes. For the development of horse racing, everyone must make concessions little by little, and must come up with bad ideas to resolve the problem as soon as possible. A strike may express my opinion right away, but it will also have a negative impact on the horse racing industry. Not both from an objective standpoint, not from an face-to-face standpoint, nor from a national level.

At first, I didn't know well, so I said, "Do this, do that, do that," but now it's different. Excessive interference may create a situation in which they touch each other's self-esteem, and mutual trust does not build at all. That's why I tend not to interfere at all. However, there is one thing that can be regarded as interference, and this is the part where horses are fed. Whether it's good or bad, I always talk about that when I go to the horseman's shop, I have a belief that I have to eat well to run well. Everything else is left to the assistant teachers. It is up to the assistant teachers to decide who to pick up and how to train them.

When I ran a business before we met, I thought I should invest rather than make money in the first five years. Horses generally start running as racehorses from the age of 2 and run for about five years until the age of 7, and they decided that they should watch and experience the entire age cycle of racehorses at least once. So I invested 2 billion at first and spent about 1 billion more in the middle. Something is going well this year, which has been five years since its debut in 2012. At first, I didn't know much about horses, so I only listened to people's stories and bought horses, but there were many failures. I studied a lot on my own using such failures for 2-3 years.

I made my debut as a horse in 2012. As I run a business, I was interested in the world, and I read about four to five newspapers every day. At that time, I became interested in the 'horse industry' after seeing newspaper articles that stated that the country would foster the horse industry as a policy at the time. I thought that if Korea also enters the ranks of advanced countries, the 'horse industry' could develop into an industry. I thought it would be good to buy a horse yourself, buy a ranch in Jeju, raise a horse, and face each other in person. So, I bought a horse and became a racehorse. It seemed that it would be better when I entered my retirement life at the age of 60 to 70.

Of course, he will attend. We saw each other and greeted each other until the morning of the match, but when we arrived at the stadium, we rushed to the news that an accident had occurred. It made no sense to me, and I gave up the rest of the match. I really didn't even want to ride a horse at that time, and it's still a heartbreaking memory. In particular, the late Kim Hyung-chil was always a good person to his juniors, and there were many people who liked such a humane aspect. I miss it a lot.The easiest and most comfortable way to learn horseback riding is to spend a lot of money. It is easy to get there by buying a horse that is more expensive than others and having a good trainer.

Given that the association can no longer afford to drop further, it is necessary to consider whether further innovation and development can be achieved at this opportunity. I wonder how it goes when deciding how each competition will be played. With the association's current executive director unavailable, it seems that someone has just decided on a random basis. I wonder if we should ask the association's players council at this time. It is regrettable that the association has excluded players. There are so many favorite players. Among them, I like Ian Miller from Canada and Nick Skelton from the United Kingdom.

Many athletes must be produced and development must be made, but there are no new athletes after the Choi Soon-sil incident. For professional athletes, it is a matter of livelihood. And it is even more frustrating and scary because no one knows how long this aftermath will last. It is necessary to create conditions for excellent talents to ride horses. For this, active efforts at the level of the Korea Horse Racing Association are needed. Specifically, there may be efforts to create a horse riding department at a new university, to restart the Sangmu Sports Unit.The most important thing is to create a lot of good horseback riding competitions. Attracting competitions with high prize money will help outstanding athletes achieve better results, and the number of students who naturally try to ride horses increases.
