'Yongam World' has become a long-distance emerging powerhouse in Seoul, Let's Run Park.
The 「Yongam World」, which worked with rider Lee Hyuk, was the first to cross the finish line and win the trophy at the 35th Sports Chosun Boat (L, 2000m, Kook OPEN, 3 years old and above, ranking prize money of 200 million won) held at the 7th race in Let's Run Park Seoul on the 18th.
The sports ship, which marks its 35th anniversary this year, is the stage for the birth of a long-distance emerging powerhouse. It is a traditional battle that has heated up Let's Run Park Seoul for more than 30 years since it began to select racehorses with long-distance aptitude among Korean 3-year-old horses or older.
This year, 11 racehorses threw their hat into the ring curiously. 'MANDARO', 'Eclipse Honor', 'Nice Sun', 'Funcrazy', 'High Grand', 'Earthrat', 'Taepyeong Legend', 'Fire Wings', 'Nara Ola', 'Eunpa Sarang', 'Yongam World' showed up to the racing fans. With the sunny May weather embroidering Let's Run Park Seoul, each Maple showed off their mache for the showdown at Ye Market.
All eyes were on the Yongam world. The strongest horse who has won five of the last six races in advance of the Korean Sport & Shipbuilding event. The odds ratio of a single victory, which is 1.6 times, is expected to overwhelmingly win 'Yongam World'.
Interest in the seed horse 'Eclipse Honor', which produced the strongest racehorse in Korea, such as 'Global Hit', was also hot. It was pointed out as an ambush as it had good momentum, with 7 horse and 10 horse races and 10 horse races, respectively, in the 1700m and 1800m races ahead of this sports shipbuilding. They were followed by 'Nara Ola', 'Taepyeong Legend', and 'Zeurat'.

Early in the race, 'Taepyeong Legend' led the flow as a good deed. 'Nice Sun' and 'Yongam World' also soon joined the lead, fighting for the lead. In the second corner, 'Nice Taeyang' was two horses ahead, 'Yongam World' rose to second place. The second-place group is in a state of premaritalism, with "Nice Taeyang" maintaining the gap and passing the third corner. 'Nice Sun' headed to the finish line, leading four corners to the straight line.
The potential of 'Yongam World', which was aiming for a chance in the second place group, exploded. After entering the straight line, he kicked the outer line at speed before exploding. 'Nice Sun' struggled to keep the lead, but he couldn't overcome his heavy steps due to long good deeds. In the end, from the point 100 meters away from the finish line, 'Yongam World' succeeded in turning the tables. 'Yongam World' continued its resilient steps, widening the gap with 'Nice Sun' by more than one breath. It was followed by 'Nice Taeyang', who had been leading the way all the time and gave up a last-minute chase, while 'Eunpa Sarang', which was 19.7 times the single-win dividend, came in a surprise third place. The final dividend is 1.6 times for single wins, 8.2 times for double wins, 12.2 times for double wins, 29.2 times for triple wins, 79.9 times for triple wins.

Rider Lee Hyuk, who collaborated with 'Yongam World', said at the award ceremony, "It was my first 2000m race to 'Yongam World', and I was a little worried because I was running with strong players"I thought it would not be easy because it was a pre-recruitment temperament. I thought I'd naturally settle down. There is also a point where he took the pace quickly, but he participated in the race with the mindset that he would go comfortably as he gained momentum. "Thank you for the horse that ran well even though he was not 100% in condition." Teacher Seo Beom-seok focused on maintaining his condition before Gyeongju because "'Yongam World' was a very sensitive horse. The rider Lee Hyuk, who kept working with him, led him well without any mistakes, and the result came out well", he commented. He added "The 57kg weight was quite burdensome, so the key was whether I could run well as the operation was, but I give generous applause to the rider who rode well with a cool head."
