Kim Hye-sun (Group 5), who turned into an assistant teacher from a jockey, reported her first valuable victory in 21 games since her debut.
In the second race of Busan and Gyeongnam at Let's Run Park on the 16th, Kim Hye-sun's assistant teacher "Grand Crew" crossed the finish line first. The victory added meaning because it was a "couple joint victory" made by her husband, jockey Park Jae-i, by taking the reins.
Kim Hye-sun, who debuted as an assistant teacher on November 25 last year, suffered poor grades in the beginning, but began to rise in 2026. After finishing second in the first race on the 16th, he finally lifted the trophy after his 21st attempt. The winning horse "Grand Cru" showed an explosive back-to-back spirit in the 300m straight race, beating the lead by one horse and winning a thrilling come-from-behind victory with his assistant teacher Kim Hye-sun.
Her husband, jockey Park Jae-i, expressed his affection, saying, "I focused more on the race because I wanted to present my wife with my first win myself, not someone else."
Teacher Kim responded, "I was more cautious when I left the situation to the couple, but I thought it would match Park's style," adding, "I'm grateful to Park Jae-i, who worked well as he planned the strategy, even though he must have been burdened by each other."
Teacher Kim then said, "I was busy running without a break after Ki-soo's retirement, but I was able to win my first victory thanks to my face and the family of Group 5 Mabang who waited silently," adding, "When I watched the race, my heart beat as if I were on a horse myself." I was so happy to win, and I will continue to try to share more joy of winning with those who are with me," he said.
