Following is a statement from the Korea Racing Authority regarding its racing program through COVID-19 and equine welfare issues.
—
KRA has temporarily restricted foreign-bred horses imported after Nov. 15, 2020 from being registered to race at Korean racetracks next year.
This measure is valid for the year of 2021, and was implemented with the following background;
1. KRA has tried to walk in line with the Korean government's quarantine policies by minimizing overseas traveling related to purchasing of foreign-bred horses.
2. Owners have suffered a reduction of purchasing power due to the reduced number of races and prize money that resulted from the COVID-19 outbreak and strict social distancing rules.
