The Korea Racing Authority (KRA) has confirmed that this Friday’s meeting at Busan Race Park has been cancelled. The funeral for former Korean President Roh Moo Hyun will take place at Gyeongbok Palace in Seoul at 11am on Friday.

Roh, a Busan native, jumped to his death last Saturday morning in his home village of Bongha.

Sunday’s meeting at Busan will go ahead as planned, as will Saturday and Sunday’s cards at Seoul Race Park.
