'Who is the super rookie to command Korean horse racing?' The two-year-old's strongest winner will be held on the 25th

Aug 22, 2024

"Rookie Stakes@Seoul"Special race will be held as the 8th race at Let's Run Park Seoul in the Korea Racing Authority (Chairman Jung Ki-hwan) on the 25th.

Among the second-generation racehorses who have just debuted on the racetrack, newcomers who have shown off their unique cotyledons will gather to perform a fresh run with the Super Rookie title. It is not easy to predict the winner because it is a match between the gods who have not had many chances to show their skills yet. Here are the three major competitors who have shown extraordinary steps on the past one or two stages.

Ancestral gold spoon 'Captain PK' challenges super-rookies. Raceday', the boomerang of the world's top race 'U.S. Breeders' Cup Classic', which won the world's top race 'White Abario' last year, has been in the production of Korean racehorses in Jeju since 2021. 'Captain PK' is the first generation of children produced by 'Laceday' through domestic breeding.

The mother of 'Captain PK'PK Party' is a racehorse active in Seoul and has won six consecutive games and no losses since its debut in 2017. In particular, the 'Nonghyup Central Chairman's Cup (L)', which determines the strongest two-year-old horse, showed off the power of the mare by beating the 'literature chief', who won the 2019 'Korea Cup (IG3)' and 'Grand Prix (G1)'. Pedigree gold spoon 'Captain PK' is also growing, winning his debut and second place in his second race, proving his ability.

▶Hansen Star (1 Jeon 1/0/0, Rating 32, Second Generation Gray, Buma: Hansen (Mi), Moma: Lavisses (Mi), Mazu: Choi Sang-il, Assistant Teacher: Tony)

The fastest 1,000-meter record among the participating horses is also aimed at the next generation of stars. If you are a horse racing fan, as the name suggests, it is every letter of the seed horse 'Hansen'. The Korean Horse Association's seed horse 'Hanssen' has been ranked No. 1 in Korea this year since last year, maintaining its box office guarantee check. The only race record for the just-debut 'Hansenstar' is his debut.

However, the footsteps of 'Hansenstar', who won the championship with a fast time of 59.5 seconds in his debut race distance of 1,000 meters, are enough to raise expectations from horse racing fans.

▶The Age of Masterpiece (2 games ago 1/1/0, rating 33, Korean Cancer II Brown, Buma: Cowboycal (mi), Moma: Lucky Heart (po), Ma: Park Deok-hee, Assistant Teacher: Park Yoon-kyu)

Will the filial daughter 'The Age of Masterpiece', who has already collected more prize money than her ransom from the past two races, continue the mare's power? The fastest 1,200-meter race horse in this race, where a large number of horses compete, is the mare 'Gejak Era'. In his debut, competing with the second-generation horses, he took the lead from the beginning and did not allow a turnaround to the finish line, even though he started from the outermost side.

The second race that followed competed with horses aged two to six. Again, he had a leading strategy to take the lead, but his steps at the end of the race became dull and he was disappointed in second place. Questions arise as to whether 'The Age of Masterpiece' will show a reinforcement of the background or develop a calm development rather than a good deed.
