Current sales are less than 8 trillion won, and I think even this is being done under pressure. The horse racing industry cannot afford to die like this. To reform the related tax system and change public perception, the KRA must take active measures, such as forming a long-term task force team.The Gyeongju schedule also needs a grave that can operate at intervals of at least 30 minutes. In Japan, it is scheduled at intervals of 3 to 40 minutes. The races are scheduled without giving us horse racing fans even a moment to grab a cup of coffee or a meal, and there’s no chance to catch our breath; this aspect also needs to change.

In addition, Chairman Lee Yang-ho suggested the future direction for the Korean horse industry in a short period of time, including reconsideration of research climate at the Horse Industry Research Institute, hard work to eradicate illegal racing, diversification of social contributions and group support, and support and cooperation that extended to agricultural and rural areas. Of course, there was also "shade." The horse industry expressed concerns over the decision to close the Yongsan Cultural Empathy Center, and it was embarrassing because successive suicides of managers and executives were not directly related.

Chairman Lee Yang-ho, who emphasized internal and external cooperation with the slogan "Let's help unconditionally, let's help infinitely, let's help what we can't help, let's help before calling" at the inauguration ceremony, has been on the site since his inauguration. Ahead of the Lunar New Year's Day, he appeared in person at nearby traditional markets and children's centers for social contribution events for the vulnerable in the region, which continued steadily during his term. With the motto of "Let's take a step ahead, let's look far and do our best" as a work philosophy, he launched the Future Development Strategy Establishment TF to check large-scale investment projects and improve organizational and manpower operations.

Lee Yang-ho, a native of Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, who was inaugurated as the 35th head of the Korea Racing Authority on December 19 last year, entered public service with the 26th administrative notice and served as the 25th head of the Rural Development Administration, including the head of planning and coordination office at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. After taking the post of chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, which is the head of the horse industry, he drew attention by dispelling concerns about "falling mountains.

Both the assistant teacher and the horse manager may have complaints, but I hope they will make concessions to each other and make efforts to improve them step by step over time. Ryu Joo-young, who wants to be remembered as a good example of facing each other, hopes something good will happen next year, the sixth year after his debut. When we first encountered each other, he said he was in a position to learn rather than make a profit for five years. As he said, he learned a lot by paying expensive tuition for two to three years when he was not familiar with horses, and now he has his own know-how.

Although it has made rapid progress 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 that 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 Racing Association, the implementation of the horse race, provides factors to change the environment for the horse race. I don't know if it is still doing it, but it shows many horses directly to many horses.

That is simply the nature of horse racing, and moreover, the more advanced the country, the better it is transmitted to the market. Therefore, you must also understand the odds theory that embodies the essence of horse racing. Dividend theory is similar to that of stocks as well. The difference is that in stocks, you analyze the investment company’s potential over about a year, whereas in horse racing, you need to judge whether the horse has “improved” after watching it for about a month.Given the size of the economy, our horse racing industry needs to grow further. I believe that the horse racing industry, a major source of funding for the horse industry, should stabilize its sales beyond the 10 trillion won mark over the next 10 years for the equestrian industry and related related industries to develop.

Younghee's Generation" and "Gyeongju's Durebak." I look forward to seeing good results in these words. It may be a matter of solidarity, but I want to be remembered as an exemplary case for those who face each other. Although I paid very expensive tuition for a few years since my debut in 2012, I have spent the first five years that I thought about, and now that I'm getting good grades starting this year, I'm getting greedy. And now that we've met each other, I want to become a top-class man who achieves the highest score.

Rather, it will be not the development of horse racing, but the regression of stepping back. Rather than direct employment, 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. They say that their minds should change first rather than roles. Although they have invested, there are many faces who want to make a profit right away by watching over a certain period of time. Those thoughts are wrong. A lot of improvement is needed. Horse racing development means that the horse society will eventually grow with the national growth, and the Korean horse racing will go to the G1 and G2 advanced horse racing.

Whether it is an assistant teacher or a horse manager, we should gather and come up with the best plan to make it hard to understand why we are going on strike. Everyone did not sincerely engage in negotiations for their own benefit. It is not just anyone who is to blame, but all of them are to blame. The horse society, assistant teachers, and horse managers are all to blame. There should never be a strike. For the development of horse racing, everyone has to make little concessions and come up with good plans to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

At the time, there was nothing for the people to enjoy. When I went to Ttukseom Racecourse, it left a mentally strong impact. I’ve enjoyed various hobbies like golf and Go, but the image of horse racing—the game of riding horses and racing them—and the process of deduction were all fascinating.But whether then or now, 90% of horse racing fans still don’t know anything about horse racing and play without any basics, and they still hold onto the old mistaken belief of chasing quick windfalls. I’d like to ask what our country’s horse racing fans learn about horse racing. It’s unfortunate that, in reality, we haven’t been able to learn accurately and enjoy the game without overdoing it.

Excessive interference can create a situation where they touch each other's pride, 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. I always talk about that when I go to a bar room, I believe that whether it's good or bad, you have to eat well to run well. I leave everything else to the assistant teachers freely. It is up to the assistant teachers to decide who to pick up the rider and how to train them. I don't know exactly why the strike was decided, but I think the strike itself is wrong.

On July 17, the Caregivers’ Union submitted petitions to the Anyang Regional Employment and Labor Office (Seoul), the Busan Northern Regional Office (Pukyong), and the Gwangju Regional Office (Jeju), requesting administrative guidance on the grounds of violations of the Labor Standards Act and collective agreements. Subsequently, the Busan Northern District Prosecutor’s Office issued an administrative directive stating, “Overtime without labor-management agreement violates the Labor Standards Act, so do not unilaterally impose additional work.” In Seoul, Chairman Park Bong-cheol was questioned by the Anyang District Prosecutor’s Office at the end of July as a complainant, and the fact-finding investigation into the head of the Trainers’ Association and the chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, who are the subjects of the investigation, is ongoing.

Horse racing must not forget the first principle: the prepared horse wins. Unlike people, words show things as they are. For example, regardless of whether a horse is in good or bad condition, it is bound to sell the most. Generally, the prepared term is “the strongest among the horses,” meaning a horse that shows the highest odds among several horses. This theory takes into account the odds movement before the race, regular training, and movements at the preliminary market, and when you are unsure or uncertain about the most popular horse, you must always place the last-place horse at the center of all your bets.If the words are ready, they are bound to be delivered to the market through some channel.

If the Let’s Run CCC Yongsan, currently in pilot operation, is canceled, not only the horse racing operator KRA, but also related organizations such as the Owners’ Association, employees, jockeys and trainers, and stables will all suffer serious damage. The problem of some media distorting the facts is also serious. The horse industry must take active steps and even protest with a microphone.It was located in a completely separated commercial district, with a nearby school and residential area separated by a six-lane and eight-lane boulevard, including an elevated roadway. The building itself was clean, and the interior facilities were excellent. The horse racing fans who used this place were well-mannered and had a careful, self-disciplined atmosphere. I felt that the opposing argument was, quite literally, "baseless."

Meanwhile, a Korea Racing Authority official said, “The implementation of Chuseok horse racing was already agreed upon last year through consultations between the implementing authority and related organizations.” In the end, they stated that what the trainers’ union demands should not be directed at the implementing authority but should be discussed with the trainers’ association, and since the Chuseok horse racing implementation has already been announced both domestically and internationally, they are taking the position that its implementation is only natural.This year, the Korea Racing Authority, battered by various setbacks and struggling desperately to cover its horse racing revenue, is insisting on the necessity of Chuseok horse racing, while the jockeys’ union recognizes the need for additional races but is engaged in a difficult tug-of-war, demanding higher wages for the increased labor.

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 them, but there were many failures. I studied my own way using such failures for two or three years. First of all, I studied the ancestry of horses, which is most important, and changed the way I chose horses. I searched for advice from at least two or three assistant teachers to refer to horses for purchase. In the past, many people used to purchase horses only after hearing the opinions of one assistant teacher, but it seems that the result was good because they purchased words that were recommended overlapping among the words recommended by several assistant teachers.

On November 26, I met Ryu at the face-to-face room in Pukyong, Let's Run Park, and I shed light on the Korean horse racing and the life of the face-to-face. I debuted as a face-to-face in 2012. As I was in the position of running a business, I was interested in the world, and I read about four or five newspapers every day. At that time, I became interested in the 'horse industry' after seeing newspaper articles that said the country would foster the horse industry as a policy at the time. I thought that if Korea also entered the ranks of advanced countries, the 'horse industry' could develop into an industry. I thought it would be good to buy a horse myself, buy a ranch in Jeju, raise a horse, and face it in person. So, I bought a horse and came face to face with it.

However, it is not necessarily the only way to learn how to ride horses. Not many of the athletes who are famous in foreign countries have actually succeeded because they are rich. Everyone works hard to learn and continues to develop their talents. In the process, you build up your skills and meet a good sponsor and bring good results. There are only a few top players who succeed with their financial resources. It's not always about buying good horses. The Hanova Horse Racing Authority is a horse-riding center that horses like more than people. People may not like it a little because it's a little far away, but horses feel comfortable.

Nick Skelton became the oldest gold medalist at the Rio Olympics at the age of 60. I also want to take good care of my health and live a long career. Of course, I will attend. We saw each other and greeted each other even on 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 want to ride a horse at that time, and it's still a heartbreaking memory. In particular, the late Kim Hyung-chil was always nice to my juniors, and many people liked his human side. I miss him a lot.

If a player hosts a competition with high prize money, outstanding players will try to achieve better results, and the number of students who want to ride horses naturally increases. As in all sports, there are also young aspiring athletes who want to catch up after watching their success stories. Equestrian events are the same. I think it's negative. Which company would sponsor horseback riding at this point in time? It is difficult to get support even in a good atmosphere, and it is questionable whether the company can make official investments at a time when companies and businessmen involved in horseback riding are targeted.

Koreans are certainly talented people. If you have an opportunity to ride horses or learn, I recommend you do as much as you can. Korea is recognized for its ability in various areas. In some areas, it may be the world's top. I hope the juniors will think that we can do it rather than thinking that we can't. First of all, the crisis of Korean horseback riding seems to be right now. The biggest problem is that there are no students to lead as leaders right now. Many athletes must be produced and developed together, but there are no new athletes after the Choi Soon-sil incident. For professional sports athletes, it is a matter of livelihood.
