The 20th National Agricultural Cooperative Federation Chairman Bae, 'Captain PK' One Step Forward toward the 2nd Generation Rookie of the Year

Twelve second-generation racehorses, who have entered Gwacheon Beol since June and have distinguished themselves, have embarked on a challenge to become the Rookie of the Year. It is not easy to predict the championship because they do not have a lot of participation history and are the new horses who show their growth in each race.
The second gateway to the Jubernail Series, a three-series race to determine the strongest second-generation horse, is the Nonghyup Central Chairman's Cup. In the previous first gateway, 'Silverlane', 'Silverlane' won by a last-minute reversal. However, the racehorse that attracted the most attention from horse racing fans before the start of the 'Nonghyup Central Chairman Bae' was 'Seoul Invited Guest', not 'Silver Lane'.
'Seoul Invited Guest' is famous for winning 5 out of 10 games, and Mom and Buma are both younger brothers born in the same year. In particular, Moma is a luxury seam horse that produced a star racehorse 'Happy Journey', which has won eight Grand Prix races, so the lineage alone was enough to raise fans' expectations.
As a 1200m sprint race, a fierce speed race was held from the beginning as soon as the starting point was opened. 'Silverlane' hit the lone lead from the center. It was followed by 'Real Deal', which showed confidence in its early speed, and 'Blushing Rose', who has the fastest 1,200m record among participating horses. Going around the last corner, he threatened the lead in order to shake off the disappointment of the second place in the last place in the era of 'Great Work' 'Hwak Ilbo'. Popular horse 'Uninvited Seoul' has also accelerated its pace to regain the top spot in earnest.

The race record was 1:18:8. 'Captain PK' shortened the previous record set at the time of winning 'Rookie Stakes@Seoul' by 0.1 seconds and lifted the 'Nonghyup Central Chairman Bae' trophy. Jockey Kim Jung-joon, who worked with 'Captain PK', won his second grand prize race since 'Korean Oaks (G2)' in 2018. Article 40 Following the victory of the 'La Rakei' last year, Cho Won-gil won the second consecutive title of the 'Nonghyup Central Chairman Bae' with another great draw.
Immediately after the race, jockey Kim Jung-joon expressed his gratitude in an interview, saying, "'Rookie Stakes@Seoul' followed by 'Captain PK' for trusting and following the victory of the Nonghyup Central Chairman's Cup'." He then expressed confidence, saying, `Because the 1200m race feels short, I have enough background of Captain PK, I will be able to perform well in the Breeders' Cup Rookie (G2), which has to run 1,400m.'
The final gate of the 'Jubernile Series', where the second-generation strongmen from Seoul and Pukyong will appear, will be held at Pukyong, Let's Run Park, on December 10. Will the addition of 'Captain PK' go beyond Seoul to the racehorses of Busan and South Gyeongsang Province? Horse racing fans are expected to pay attention to the 「Briders' Cup Rookie」, where a true rookie will be born.
