2008 HBPA Governor's Cup H.

10.17, 9/8miles, dirt, Charles Town
Korean bred racing horse's 2nd race in US.

The KRA has been talking about doing that for a long time as part of their "internationalization" plan for Korean horse racing, placing horses in races across the world to check the level of domestic horses.
KRA sent Pick Me Up which is one of the best horse in Busan to US.
He was unplaced in a field of eight at his first race on turf.
So he tried the race on dirt, but he was unplaced in a field of nineth again.

What race were you watching or are you used to computer game horses ,, the fractions of the race were pretty legit.. charlestown is a bull ring track,, 48 and change is pretty solid for there especially going over that trip...

Thank you for the video again. :)

It was a tragic result to me. Even the race had very slow fractional time, Pick Me Up couldn't follow the leading herd... (almost 80 horse-length lost!)

Would we need korean style trainer & jockey...? or Korean racehorses' class is just far below the world class...? It causes me headache ;)

Thanks again fpop78!
