Every Friday, there will be eight Busan-Gyeongnam races and eight Jeju simulcast races. On Saturdays, 11 Seoul races and six Jeju races will be simulcast. Sundays will feature six Busan-Gyeongnam races and 11 Seoul simulcast races. Of the 56 races held in Busan-Gyeongnam, 43 will be for domestic-bred horses, 11 will be mixed races for domestic and imported horses, and two will be featured races.

The first Jeju race on Fridays starts at 11:00 AM, while the first Seoul race on Saturdays and Sundays begins at 10:35 AM. The final race on all three days?Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?starts at 6:00 PM.

According to the October schedule, two featured races will take place on the 20th: the Gyeongsangnam-do Governor's Cup (G3, 2000m) and the Gimhae Mayor's Cup (L, 1200m). The Gyeongsangnam-do Governor's Cup, held as the fourth Busan-Gyeongnam race, is the second leg of the Queens' Tour FW series, bringing together top fillies and mares from Seoul and Busan-Gyeongnam for a head-to-head competition. Notably, last month's first leg, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Governor's Cup (G3, 1400m), saw Busan-Gyeongnam's horse Jeulgeounyeojeong achieve a flawless victory, heightening anticipation for the second showdown.

On the same day, the Gimhae Mayor's Cup, held as the sixth Busan-Gyeongnam race, serves as the second leg of the Juvenile Series to determine the best two-year-old domestic racehorse, where rookies will showcase their honed skills. The second leg of the Juvenile Series is held in both Seoul and Busan-Gyeongnam, and on the same day in Seoul, the Nonghyup Chairman's Cup will be held under the same race conditions.

On October 13, the President's Cup will be held in Seoul and can be viewed via simulcast at LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam. Detailed race schedules and conditions can be found on the Korea Racing Authority's horse racing information website under the Busan-Gyeongnam Racing Information tab.
