The 'Presidential Cup' is an important gateway to the selection of the 'Best Domestic Horse' and the 'Yeon Representative Horse', which is the G1 Grand Prize race, the highest in Korean horse racing, and the strongest domestic horse in name and reality. With the retirement of "Winnersman," who won last year's championship and was the representative horse of the year, all domestic famous horses participated in the 20th presidential ship to take the throne.
The most brilliant stars in this year's presidential boat were 'Global Hit' and Kim Hye-sun. In addition to having the highest ratings in Seoul and Pukyong, 'Global Hit', which has continued to collapse with three wins in this year's Grand Prix, received the most attention even before the start of the race. The single-win dividend for 'Global Hit' was 1.2 times, and the consecutive-win dividend was 1.0 times, proving its unrivaled popularity.
Fifteen racehorses entered the starting table one after another, and the gate opened with the starting sound. Early in the race, 'Bull's Star' and 'Black Mamba' and 'Naalsniper' quickly formed the lead. Expected stocks 'Global Hit' hovered in the range of 3 to 5 committee members, holding out competitors' checks. Entering the last straight line, 'Naalsniper', 'Speed Young', 'Global Hit' entered a tight three-way battle.
At the point 200 meters away from the finish line, it was the rising star 'Global Hit' that began to widen the gap. 'Global Hit' added momentum to its steps as the finish line neared, widening its distance from the second place. The record of 'Global Hit', which crossed the finish line and confirmed the ranking, was 2:05:9. It was five horses shy of the runner-up 'Naalsniper'.
