Fourteen Korean Horses’ “Speed Race”

The eighth Dong-A Ilbo Cup Horse Race, co-sponsored by Dong-A Ilbo and the Korea Racing Association, will be held on November 7 at the Seoul Racing Park as a “Number Nine Race.”

This race was founded in 1997 for the purpose of establishing a wholesome horse racing culture and became the top horse race in Korea, producing numerous steeds such as Shin Se Dae, Cadinett, Jadang, Mach Plus, and Meadow Hunter.

Fourteen horses, including Tongil Daeryuk, who was runner-up in the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Cup, Jang Ryeong, who has won prizes in three consecutive races, and Morning Call, who is on a two-race winning streak, will race for the prize money that totals 120 million won.

This race, which will determine the top Korean racehorse of the next generation, is expected to be a close contest, providing viewers with a thrilling match. We invite you to a vigorous competition on a late autumn day.
