The ‘President’s Cup’, which is the G1 grand prize race at the highest level of Korean horse racing and determines the best domestic horse in name and reality, is an important gateway to the selection of ‘Best Domestic Horse’ and ‘Representative Horse of the Year’. With ‘Winner’s Man’, last year’s winner and the year’s representative horse, retiring, famous domestic horses appeared in the 20th President’s Cup to take the throne.
The main characters who shone the most in this year’s President’s Cup were ‘Global Hit’ and rider Kim Hye-seon. ‘Global Heat’, which not only has the highest rating in both Seoul and Bukyung, but also continued its good fortune with three wins in the grand prize race this year, received the most attention even before the start of the race. The single-win type dividend for ‘Global Hit’ was 1.2 times, and the multi-win type dividend was 1.0 times, proving its unrivaled popularity.
Jockey Kim Hye-sun, who has won as many as six grand prize races with ‘Global Heat’, starting with last year’s ‘Korean Derby (G1)’ win and this year’s ‘President’s Cup’, said in an interview after the race, “There is nothing special about Kim Hye-sun, but ‘Global Heat’ “Thanks to meeting this horse, I was able to shine as a jockey,” he said. “Now, I will prepare thoroughly for the one remaining Grand Prix this year.”
