Assistant trainer Rice from South Africa.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Rice, a South African trainer (31st group, age 43) active at Korea Racing Authority's LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam, achieved his 200th career win on the 3rd by winning with his racehorse ‘Mister Fusion’ in the 3rd race at Busan-Gyeongnam.

‘Mister Fusion’ (gelding, 3 years old, Korea), making his debut that day, took the lead from the start and did not relinquish the front position until the end of the race. Entering the final stretch, he competed with ‘Geumgangjeonggi’ (stallion, 3 years old, Korea), but began his final sprint 300 meters before the finish line and comfortably secured first place.

Entering his 7th year, trainer Rice has maintained top-tier results every year. His ranking among Busan-Gyeongnam trainers rose from 8th place in 2018 to 5th in 2019, and as of June this year, he has climbed to 3rd place in the win rankings, showing a steep growth trajectory.

Trainer Rice said, “I am grateful to everyone who helped me reach 200 wins,” adding, “I hope that ‘Mister Fusion’ will become an even better racehorse following this victory, and I want to express my thanks to the stable staff who worked happily together despite the difficult circumstances caused by COVID-19.”
