Jockey Park Jae-i secured his 100th win by riding ‘Colorful Wind (2 years old, filly, domestic)’ to first place in the 1st race, a domestic 6th grade 1000m race held on November 26.

Jockey Kim Hye-seon earned the honor of 300 wins by winning the 4th race, a domestic 5th grade 1200m race, on Sunday the 28th with ‘Daseungi (4 years old, filly, domestic)’, and participated in 6 races that day, winning 4 times.

Jockey Park said, “I will steadily accumulate experience and improve my skills,” and “I am grateful to the owners and trainers who gave me opportunities and trusted me.”

Jockey Kim said, “I was worried about returning after childbirth, but maybe it was mom power that gave me strength,” and “Achieving 300 wins among male jockeys feels very meaningful, and I will work harder for the female juniors who will come after me.”
