Listed below is some helpful information provided by Sky Racing World for IdaBet.com players:
There are two thoroughbred racecourses in Korea, located at Seoul and Busan. Horses, Trainers and Jockeys are based at one of the two tracks. The tracks only mix for Graded races.
Seoul races every Friday and Saturday with an average of 11-12 races each race day. Busan races every Thursday and Saturday with an average of 10 races on Thursday and 6 on Saturdays.
Betting Turnover is the 7th largest in the world and the 3rd largest in Asia (after Japan and Hong Kong). Average field size is approximately 11. Minimum field size is 7.
In addition to foreign trainers and jockeys, there is a foreign Steward at both Seoul and Busan as well as a foreign handicapper.
All races at both racecourses finish on the outer track, closest to spectators. That includes those at distances between 1 1/16 m and 1 1/4 m that begin on the inner tracks. The tracks are connected at the 2nd and 4th corners. Currently races are run with a minimum distance of 5 furlongs and currently a maximum of 1 7/16 m at Seoul & 1 /38 m at Busan.
