At Seoul LetsRun Park, Cleanone claimed victory in a long-distance race, overcoming strong contenders to take the top spot.

The Korea Racing Authority announced that on March 15, during the 7th race at Seoul LetsRun Park—the 24th Herald Business Daily Cup (G3, 2000m)—Cleanone, a 4-year-old colt ridden by jockey Seungwoon Seo, secured first place. Second and third places went to Success Backpa and Gangpungma, respectively.

The Herald Business Daily Cup is the opening leg of the "Stayer Series," which determines the best long-distance horse. Every year, it attracts leading racehorses from Seoul and Busan-Gyeongnam. This year as well, the competition drew significant attention with strong contenders such as Speed Young, Success Backpa, and Gangpungma participating.

Cleanone, who previously won the Grand Prix last year by defeating Global Hit and Speed Young, reaffirmed his status as a long-distance powerhouse through this victory.

Trainer Moon Hyuncheol, who manages Cleanone, stated, "I am pleased to have proven that the Grand Prix win was no coincidence," adding, "We will do our best to continue achieving good results in major stakes races."

Jockey Seungwoon Seo shared his thoughts, saying, "The horse was in excellent condition, so I believed we could adapt to any development during the race. As expectations for Cleanone are high, I will strive to live up to the support of the fans."
