Moreover, Seoul is a non-open race, and Busan is an open race. I think we should open all of them and go to an open race. We can coexist only when we abandon our vested rights and integrate them. The plan to implement horse racing next year is in full swing, and I think the Seoul prize money system should be fixed first. In the case of Seoul, the prize money is wrong. In the case of this Korea Sprint, the competition ended on September 9 and the prize money did not come out until October 5. As Seoul monopolizes the prize money, Busan has no choice but to go on strike without receiving proper incentives.

The Korea Racing Authority originally planned to implement a one-week simultaneous closure and a one-week closure at intersections for each racetrack this year, but changed it to a cross-run of hot weather to overcome the decline in sales. Despite the actual increase in night racing days through the implementation of relay races, overall sales reached KRW 777.2 billion, up only KRW 47.6 billion from KRW 729.6 billion during the four-week night racing period last year. According to the recent National Statistical Office, sales of alcohol, cigarettes, and lotto soared in the second quarter of this year. They are the representative "recession industry" that records high growth rates during the economic downturn.

Baekdu in Gimhae City. It is a steep mountain with a height of 350 meters, and I train my mind and body while going up and down here, and at the top, I pray for the safety and health of our horses. And I go to Mabang right away. I feel uncomfortable if I don't see our horses even for a day. As if I was going to work at 6 a.m., there are 6 horse parlors in Articles 8, 14, 17, 21, 28, and 29, and petting each horse and reading it. I remember and love all the horses that were with me. Chairman Jinyoung Kim, who recalled, "I was happy to meet you because I liked the horse,

You often rode outside the Nakdong River at the corresponding site. Since the time of Ttukseom Racecourse, I have bid for horses and received them. When I hosted the Busan Racecourse, I met the head of Gangseo-gu and tried to persuade him. At that time, Gangseo-gu was only 11% financially independent. The residents were also very active, saying, 'I absolutely welcome the racecourse, and I am against the briquette industrial complex.' Since then, I prepared to face each other, and after the 2002 Asian Games, when a racetrack was built in Pukyong, I applied first.

First of all, I was very disappointed in many ways in this Korea Sprint competition. I had high expectations because I managed it well and was in good condition. I had a strong goal that the 'Return Whaling Ship' would win and protect the pride of the Republic of Korea and become a stepping stone to Part 1. There were obstacles and the operation didn't go as planned, but you saw me running tremendously on the last course. If it had been 10 meters longer, you would have won. You have been riding horses since your grandfather's grandfather, and there was a congratulatory speech in Gangseo-gu, Busan.

It is as difficult for a person to edify a person as a trickle of falling water penetrates a rock. When I meet them in person, they are reading our inner thoughts, and sometimes they act senselessly. However, as the saying goes, "You shouldn't hate people even if you hate them, you know it's hard, but when you socialize together, you understand the truth. I do this because I enjoy myself. Sharing my heart and soul makes me feel better. When I go there, people ask me, "Do you feel good?" Maybe my words are doing good deeds. Good things happen when you give them.

On the other hand, it is still the Owners' Cup, and they are giving away a plaque. I hope the culture will change correctly from next year. We call them inmates, not inmates. Ordinary people can come whenever and wherever they want to eat, but detainees cannot. When I asked what they want to eat, they said they wanted Chungmu Gimbap and Jokbal. We prepared it right away, ate it together, and heard stories. Wasn't it especially hot last summer? When we did it in Jungbok, we prepared 1,100 samgyetang as a large chicken and 2,200 people.

The 100th anniversary of the horse race is now 10 years away. The efforts of senior horse racers who have made the Korean horse race leap to its current position in poor environment are indescribable. In order for these horse racing officials' efforts to shine more, they must redouble their efforts through thorough preparation and review for the remaining 10 years, and a high-quality plan that can guarantee the future of 100 years beyond 100 years should be established and implemented. In the assistant teacher category, assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan is leading the race, but assistant teacher Baek Kwang-yeol is trailing by five wins, so attention will be paid to whether assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan will be able to secure the first place or close the gap.

At that time, the horse racing society was not in an atmosphere that recognized the face-to-face association. The meeting within the horse racing society appointed the president of the Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Racing Association. At that time, 27 to 8 members who inspected the Jeju racetrack gathered their will for the foundation. I, who was in the middle of my age and career at that time, took the chairmanship and started my activities, and I was able to finish the inaugural meeting safely with more than 100 members gathered on the 43rd floor of the Lotte Hotel.

Of course, there seems to be no great disagreement that most of the contents are what Korean horse racing should aim for, but many of the plans announced and promoted in thorough preparation have not been successful. Despite the fact that Korean horse racing has achieved the world's seventh-largest quantitative growth in horse racing sales over the past 90 years and paying 1.4 trillion won a year in national and local taxes, the negative image of horse racing as a leader in the gambling industry has not disappeared.

When Jinyoung Kim was interviewed by the first president of the Busan-Gyeongnam Riding Association, the word "road" came to mind. He was not just such an old man, but a real one. He has 45 years of experience in horseback riding. He had nothing to say as the story goes back to when he was the coach of Ttukseom Riding. In addition to his titles as CEO of Pungjin Livestock and the first president of the Busan-Gyeongnam Riding Association, he is also actively engaged in social activities such as the chairman of the Busan Detention Center Correctional Council, a youth guidance member of the Busan Bukbu Police Station,

Although the Ministry of Agriculture and Food's review and payment process remain, the approval of the construction of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park is just around the corner as discussions on leisure tax, which has been an obstacle, have been made. The background of the establishment of Vision 2022" is that although the horse racing society has contributed to the development of livestock through horse racing over the past 90 years and contributed to the country and local community by increasing tax revenues, the horse racing industry has focused on the growth of the horse racing business, and the management environment and social demands have been relatively insufficient. It is to prepare for the future to contribute to the happiness of the people while pursuing harmony of publicity and profitability toward the 100th anniversary of horse racing in 2022.

We look forward to the September horse race, which is prepared with abundant attractions, and the thrilling race of every race amid fierce competition in each category.The night horse racing season, a special feature of midsummer, has increased the number of horse racing days by one week from previous years due to the implementation of cross-closing of Seoul, Pukyong and Jeju, while not having much effect on the number of people admitted and sales, raising concerns that the horse racing industry will see a decline in sales this year beyond the continued slowdown in growth.

In 2022, which marks the 100th anniversary of horse racing, the horse racing industry and horse industry will continue to slow down in most countries due to changes in the environment that have entered a low growth period due to slowing global and domestic economy.In addition, environmental changes in Korea are expected to change demand for leisure culture due to the relative contraction of the horse racing industry due to intensifying competition among the gambling industries, the government and legislature's tightening regulations on the gambling industry, aging and eco-friendliness, and the desire to improve quality of life. The Korean Horse Association considers the current challenges of the Korean Horse Association, such as slowing horse racing sales, fostering the horse industry, horse racing-oriented profits, and the creation of a healthy leisure culture, as tasks to be solved for the sustainable development of the horse society.

The doping test process goes through two stages, the extraction process and the analysis process. The core of the technology is to detect and analyze banned substances using test cartridges, rather than extracting banned substances using existing liquid reagents, and it is possible to detect about 310 types of banned substances within a safe and fast time by reducing the contact of the experimenter with chemicals. While most horse racing implementation countries in the U.S. and Japan only conduct post-race tests due to cost and time constraints, Korea has conducted double pre-race drug tests and post-race drug tests to find banned substances three hours before the start of the race.
