[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] From July, the summer season racecourse will extend its hours into the night and resume night racing.


The Korea Racing Authority Busan-Gyeongnam Racecourse announced on the 27th that it will hold night races every Friday and Saturday from July 1 to August 27.


The Korea Racing Authority is implementing night racing to provide a different kind of enjoyment and to protect customers and racehorses from the midday heat.


During July and August, the park's operating hours on Fridays and Saturdays will change to 12:30 PM to 9:00 PM. On Sundays, daytime racing will continue as usual from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.


During the night racing period, the first race on Fridays starts at 2:10 PM. On Saturdays, when no races are held at Bukyeong, races from Seoul and Jeju Racecourses will be broadcast, with the first race starting at 2:00 PM. The first race on Sundays begins at 10:45 AM.



Also, during the second week of August, Busan-Gyeongnam Racecourse will be closed for the midsummer break, so no races will be held at Bukyeong on August 12 and 14. During this period, only broadcast races from Seoul and Jeju Racecourses will be available.
