In addition to foreign trainers and jockeys, there is a foreign Steward at both Seoul and Busan as well as a foreign handicapper.
THE TRACKS
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.
