The Korea Racing Authority signed an official sponsorship agreement with Gyeongju horse breeding organizations on the 18th to strengthen the prestige of the 'Breeders' Cup Rookie,' a representative domestic two-year-old horse racing event.

The Korea Racing Authority announced that it has concluded an official sponsorship agreement for the Breeders' Cup Rookie between the Korea Gyeongju Horse Breeders Association and the Korea Inland Horse Breeders Association, marking the beginning of efforts to promote Gyeongju horse breeding and strengthen the foundation for developing domestic horses.

The Breeders' Cup Rookie is the final race in the juvenile, or two-year-old, series, serving as a representative event to verify the abilities of domestic two-year-old Gyeongju horses and discover outstanding next-generation horses.

In particular, it is highly regarded by breeders, horse owners, trainers, and racing fans alike due to its ability to assess the growth potential of young Gyeongju horses at an early stage.

Under this agreement, the Korea Gyeongju Horse Breeders Association will participate as an official sponsor of the Breeders' Cup Rookie, providing a total sponsorship fund of 200 million won. The Korea Racing Authority will also invest a separate 100 million won as operating funds for auction vouchers, planning to run a production reinvestment program totaling 300 million won.

A representative from the Korea Racing Authority, speaking by phone with this outlet, stated, "The Breeders' Cup Rookie is a symbolic event that selects two-year-old horses who will lead the future of Korean horse racing."
