Masu Yoshida showed a video clip and showed how much he bragged about it to me. We won the match. To be honest, objectively, it is true that Japan and I have a wide gap with each other. The number of horse racing officials in Dubai made a big difference. There were about 10 officials from Korea, but in Japan, there seemed to be about 30 to 40 reporters and about 100 reporters including those from Japan. There was a ceremony to deliver the Dubai World Cup medal at Pukyong, the park, on Sunday last week. I jokingly said this at the venue. "Our horses will stay in a good bar room like a hotel for 3-4 months and then come back to Korea, and I'm worried about whether they will be able to adapt well." Dubai bar rooms are really hotel-class compared to our bar rooms.

Since we've run in rain and wet sand, we thought it would be advantageous if it continued to rain. However, it rained on the morning of the competition, and when I was running the race, it didn't rain. I met Masu Yoshida of Japan in Dubai. It is the face of Nani, a famous Japanese horse. We will face off on Super Saturday, and Triple Nine ranked fifth and Nani ranked sixth, so we won. Park Kang-ho, ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, and his wife visited the stadium and jokingly said, "Japan still won." And the word "Nani" means the international rating is 113, so she later ran in a 2,000-meter race at the Dubai World Cup. I came in fifth place and got on the same plane as Masu Yoshida back from Dubai.

Now that I think about it, it remains regrettable what it would have been like to play only one game in the Dubai World Cup Carnival. I think I was able to participate in Super Saturday with only one head and one first place difference. Korean horses, including "Triple Nine," usually competed every five to six weeks in Korea. However, in Dubai, they competed every 20 days on average, which is shorter than this. Four races were held in three months: January 19, February 9, March 5, and March 25. The horse was such a nice horse that I didn't get a ticket on the outside, but I thought I might have exhausted my energy. Consequently, if I hadn't competed twice in the Dubai World Cup Carnival, I can't help but wonder if I would have won first or second place on Super Saturday instead of fourth place.

In addition, the flexible application system was implemented with the opinion that the failure to implement high-dividend Seungsik for difficult organizations within the horse racing society could lower the difficulty of racing to fans, thereby increasing sales, but as a result, it was analyzed that the anti-interest of horse racing fans was revealed, such as a significant decrease in sales for the race, which caused the adverse effect. "The flexible application system was piloted for monitoring purposes," said an official from the business planning team who promoted the flexible application system. "The biggest reason for the early termination was that there were many complaints about inconvenience." He also said, "As a result of collecting opinions from horse racing fans, contrary to the original expectation, there are many fans' preference for Seungsik, which shows that they do not participate in betting at all for races where double and triple wins are not implemented, leading to poor use of the race."

The inspection committee was launched in 2007 to manage and supervise the indiscriminately expanding gambling industry and eradicate the illegal gambling industry, but its composition and function are currently limited to the management and supervision of legal gambling areas such as lottery and horse racing," he said. "The crackdown on illegal gambling such as sports gambling in the voice domain should be the main role of the inspection committee in the future." If the revision is passed, it is expected to contribute significantly to eradicating the illegal gambling industry, which continues to become a social problem, and the inspection committee, which has caused the balloon effect of illegal gambling due to excessive regulatory overuse of the legal gambling industry, is expected to find its original identity of supervision and crackdown on illegal gambling activities and prevention and treatment.

He had a two-month vacation due to poor racing performance in October and November. Perhaps because of his experience, he was not happy to participate in international competitions overseas and was reluctant to participate in a moment. So when I asked what horses would participate in Korea, he said that they would include "Power Blade," "Main Stay," "Depending" and "Seoul Bullitt." "Triple Nine" is a Korean representative horse that has been selected as a representative horse of the year for two consecutive years, and I decided to accept the participation because I thought I had to not participate. When my horse runs in an ordinary race, I put everything aside and visit the racetrack. In fact, it is not easy to fly a long distance for 9 to 10 hours at a considerable age.

And Choi Byung-bu, who faced "Triple Nine" until the final round, kept his promise with horse fans. To see the four competitions in which "Triple Nine" competed in person, I met Choi Byung-bu, who showed his affection by traveling back and forth to Dubai four times. I think that "Triple Nine"'s advance to the final round of the Dubai World Cup was meaningful in confirming the level of domestic horse. The footprint of "Triple Nine," a representative horse of Korea, on the world's best stage after being selected as the representative horse of the year for the second consecutive year, confirmed the current capability of Korean horses and also gave the current location of Korean horse racing. And it also suggested the direction and tasks for domestic horse racing in the future.

Perhaps because of the impact, my children are still not stingy in making donations. One time, I went to volunteer with my oldest daughter to support her. After my parents passed away and I was a student living with my grandmother, but after my grandmother passed away, I had nowhere to go. Then the oldest daughter said, "Dad, I have nowhere to go, can you stay with me?" and asked me about it. We were together like that, and I came forward to find my birth mother. After searching, I found out that my mother was in Japan, and I guaranteed her and sent her to her to my birth mother in Japan with the cooperation of the school teachers. I later heard that she had a hard time going there, but she is still close friends with her eldest daughter.

The newspaper also gave me 30,000 won for a favor when the rotorcraft broke down at night. I received a lot of calls from the Government Complex, and the government complex told me that it would take a long time to send it home after it broke down, adding that it would be nice to have a phone. Then, it was time for one phone to be worth a house. When the scholarship association was first established, the opposing parties voluntarily paid about 30 to 40 million won. However, scholarship donations have dropped dramatically now. This is because even if the opposing parties donate scholarships, they do not disclose their names and there is no feedback from the scholarship recipients. I had the pleasure of helping someone and seeing the other person express their gratitude while running a scholarship project,

Working so hard in the field, I was given the role of building the government complex in 1970, and I helped. After completion, I was also awarded the top engineer's commendation at the Government Complex. I worked with a German engineer at that time, and I wanted to know Germany's advanced technology. But whenever a German worked, he locked the door and didn't teach me the technology. So I learned it by staring at the ceiling in four places. A German fought with me, went back to his country, and worked with the technology I saw over my shoulder. At the time, the person in charge of the equipment saw and said I was the best. After that, the state also sent me technical training to Meidensha, Japan. At that time, there were no automation technicians in Korea.

At the symposium held to commemorate the launch of the KRA Horse Industry Research Institute, KRA Chairman Jang Tae-pyeong thanked the presenters, debaters and participants in a greeting, saying, "The Korean horse industry is facing a difficult phase due to changes in conditions and environment, including the recent economic situation at home and abroad, and at the same time, we are facing an opportunity to take a new leap forward with the implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act and the government's five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry," adding, "I hope today's symposium will serve as a venue to promote the development of the Korean horse industry." He also said, "We hope that the KRA Horse Industry Research Institute will be able to achieve its purpose and purpose well, fulfill its original function and role as a specialized research institute, set up its research direction properly, and faithfully carry out the urgent tasks."

Since it was a school on the island, there were not enough items than on land. When I asked the islanders, they said the school needed musical instruments such as Punggeum. At that time, Punggeum was about 1.5 million won, but he sent it to the school at his own expense. I visited the school in Ijakdo again to deliver Punggeum, and the whole school lined up on the playground and clapped their hands in gratitude. It was a cold winter, but it was impressive to see the students come out to the school playground and applaud. And when can someone like me who has lived only in the industrial field as an engineer speak to the students while standing at the church? A few days later, I was touched once more.

We will support the actors who lead the horse industry in the field, such as horseback riding and farmhouses, universities, horse racing society, and related media, to go in the desired direction according to each need. As a legal professional, I am interested in reorganizing the laws and systems of the horse industry, suggesting alternatives, and supporting them. It is not easy. This is not done out of personal greed. We will make sure that horse industry officials can coexist by sacrificing and striving for each other. Meanwhile, attention is being paid to who will be elected to the vacant chairman position after Jung Seung, chairman of the Korean Federation of Horse Industries, was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety under the new government. An official from the Korean Federation of Horse Industries said, "We will elect a new chairman in September."

He seemed to cry looking at me before I got hurt, but it's a shame just thinking about it. I could have gotten rehabilitation treatment if it were like these days. It's a pity that I couldn't care about my business at the time because I was busy. If I were the person I am now, I would never have let him participate. After he died, he served 49 times and erected a monument on his birthplace. In 2013, he paid 3 million won when he built a statue of "Mr. Park" in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province. In fact, he had been volunteering since the early 1980s. At that time, he started volunteering while working for the Lions Club, but as he did volunteer work, he became interested in the scholarship project. Now, the number of Lions club members has increased and the number of districts has increased, but back then, no one could become a Lions club member.

At that time, his annual income ranged from about 800 million won to 900 million won.I think I spent more than 200 million won on comprehensive income tax alone. I remember paying about 5.4 million won for medical insurance. And I also bought a lot of horses at that time. When I went to a horse auction, I would sing the highest price. That's why I was criticized a lot by other people. It's like a child who gave me joy, so how can I want to euthanize him? After treating him without euthanasia, I asked him to allow me to live comfortably on the ranch where he was born, but he did so because he said it was difficult to treat in reality. In the United States, there was a similar case of a broken leg, and he said that he treated it for six months, but he failed in the end.

When I entered the room, I was filled with various citations and appreciation plaques. What stood out was the certificate of appreciation I received from the National Tax Service. As an entrepreneur, I felt like I had fulfilled my duty to pay sincere tax. I met and talked with Kwak Jong-soo, who practices the spirit of Noblesse Oblige. I have been together since the opening of Let's Run Park Busan and South Gyeongsang Province in 2004. I received two horses from Oh Sang-cheol of the Triple Crown Ranch I was close to at the time. At the same time, I entered the path of each other. One of the horses I received at the time was 'Mr. Park'. Thanks to the great performance of 'Mr. Park', I spent a lot of money, buying, and talking.

During the teaching assistant, I thought I was first because I had such good chemistry, but there were cases where other riders did not win because there were horses that worked well with them. No matter how well they worked, if their grades were not good, the riders thought they did not work well. In my case, I think I almost fit well when I train. But personally, I don't think it's good to say that the grades were good and that the teamwork was good. If I have to choose one, it is Mr. Park, a famous horse. I have won the title at Mr. Park, and I have experience of winning the Grand Prix. I want to show that we Korean riders are never pushed back by foreign riders.

My parents were interested in horses because they rode horses, and I had ridden them once or twice when I was young. Then, I naturally found out about a racetrack. Originally, I was a boxer until high school. As a boxer, I also had a good performance. At that time, he participated in the National Sports Festival as a representative of Gyeonggi Province and won the runner-up prize in the light flyweight class. After boxing for seven years, I quit after being a candidate for the Korean Racing Authority.Boxing helped me a lot in my career. What boxing and jockeys have in common is the perseverance of athletes. They need to train consistently without getting tired. Also, you need to have good eyes to see the game and the opponent. I think having these eyes will help you solve the game well.

It is an event where horse hoof engineers who used to work under the name of Jangjeisa gathered to announce the launch. We are well aware of the importance of the role of horse hoof engineers in the horse industry. This year, it is also necessary to revise the system to reflect on and foster the horse industry policy with the Korean Horse Industry Association. This is because I am confident that the horse industry is the center and hope of Korea's new growth industry in the 21st century. It is time to reconsider and have hope for the words, culture and industry that our people, descendants of the great horseback riding people, have forgotten. I think horses and chickens are the closest animals to our family. In particular, there are no pure and emotional animals like horses. There is no animal as good as horses to save children's emotions and develop humanities.

Busan horses have far better abilities than Seoul. The training pattern itself is 100m to 150m longer in the straight line than Seoul, so Busan horses have much stronger endurance than Seoul horses. Seoul tends to use it for a long time because it is reticent, but Busan immediately sends it on vacation or replacement when it seems strange. For this reason, Busan seems to have better grades than Seoul. Also, Busan is very competitive. When it comes to foreign jockeys, they prefer foreign jockeys so that their reservations are full a month before they enter Korea. That's why I feel threatened in my case. Busan is the place I can't relax. I won 24 times around this time last year, but I only won 10 times this year.

In particular, it is seeking to attract horse industry-related facilities and advance into the business by contacting private investors to participate in the horse industry promotion project, which has recently emerged as a national concern. The over-the-counter sales office is also considering it as one of the horse industry-related facilities, and it is said to be in a positive position, such as issuing consent forms if the operator proposes an over-the-counter sales office project accordingly. The Korea Racing Authority's over-the-counter planning team said, "It is true that we have been to Chungju City for a due diligence, and that there have been inquiries from Chungju City, but the application has not been received yet," adding, "There have been more than 100 cases of conducting due diligence on attracting over-the-counter sales offices this year, but no application has been officially received yet."

This reason seems to have made me the best rider now.First, each rider has his or her own know-how. People say that when a horse is sent, it feels like putting gears in a car, but honestly, I don't know much about the horse. He has his or her own feeling. I always participate in early morning training so as not to lose that feeling and not to be taken away. When the horse I trained falls into someone else's hands, the feeling of the horse's mouth changes drastically. All riders have their own know-how, but I think they know a little more about horses because I rode them longer than their juniors. Second, they are greedy. Others tell me to stop putting down the reins, to put down the horse, that is, to put down my mind.

First of all, I tried hard not to miss early morning training. There are cases where I neglect early morning training just because I am a senior, but that was not the case for me at all. Now others are telling me well that my strength is that I do not miss early morning training. There is nothing special about early morning training. Training is from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. You need to know what you are saying and continue training with breathing. In training, not only running, but also warming up your body and finishing together. The biggest factor that led to becoming the best rider is that he has been injured every year so far, but he did not in 2016. In 2015, he was seriously injured. I was in a fall accident during the game and fractured my toes, pelvis, and lumbar spine.

You have to actively go overseas training. Engineers go to the field and see what others are doing. It is very helpful to adapt to foreign systems. It is urgent to establish such a system quickly. So this year, I plan to expand the scope of exchanges by signing an MOU with the Japanese Funeral Service Association. About 20 members of the association are scheduled to attend the festival in Japan in June, and the association will sign an MOU with the association. They say they are excited to hear that about 20 Japanese are coming from Korea. Based on the results, their juniors will participate in the festival and win prizes. The association's ultimate goal is to make their names known so that they can scout for Korean priests from overseas.
