Not a new start for Turfway starter Long-time assistant starter Larry McGlasson is now the starter at Turfway Park. McGlasson, 61, replaces Steve Peterman, who was Turfway’s starter for seven years before moving to Calder Race Course in Florida. McGlasson brings 27 years of experience on the starting gate to his new role, but his skill with horses reaches back decades earlier. He started by galloping horses on the family farm, Lakeview Farm in Hebron, Ky. For about 10 years, beginning in the mid-1970s, he trained racehorses, many

owned by his father, Galen. As starter, McGlasson is responsible to supervise the gate crew as they load horses into the starting gate before each race and, once satisfied that all horses are standing straight and facing forward, to spring the magnetic latches on the stalls to start the race. Before every race, he checks a database of comments from starters around the country, looking for reports of troublesome behavior by horses his crew will be handling. Managing 1,100-pound racehorses in the tight

confines of a gate stall requires teamwork, horse sense, and nerve. “I’ve always enjoyed the adrenaline of working on the gate, and I’ll miss that,” McGlasson said. “When a horse is fractious and you win – when he gets out safely – that’s really satisfying. It’s just something you have to like to do. “You also have to like and trust the people you work with. You never know when one of them will have to get you out of there. A horse might be striking out and throwing his head, and you’re loaded with him in that little cage. The guys on the crew have to click together. Safety depends on it.” During his years on the gate, McGlasson has endured kicks, broken ribs, a fractured sternum, and broken fingers. One horse he was handling reared in the gate, flipped, and

This Ordinance sets forth general rules, regulations and conditions for the issuance of general obligation bonds by the County of Campbell, Kentucky (the "County") in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $9,105,000 (the "Bonds") for the purpose of (i) refunding in advance of maturity a portion of the outstanding County of Campbell, Kentucky General Obligation Public Project Bonds, Series 2006 (the "Prior Bonds") and (ii) paying the costs of issuing the Bonds. Provisions are made for the authorization and issuance of the Bonds; for the application of the proceeds of the Bonds; for the establishment of a Bond Payment Fund and maintenance of the previously established Sinking Fund; and for certain covenants of the County with respect to the Bonds. The Bonds are to be sold at public, competitive sale, and shall mature, or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, in varying amounts in each of the years 2014 through 2025. The Bonds pledge the full faith and credit of the County and provision is made for the collection of a tax to pay the principal of, and interest on the Bonds, subject to certain credits, as provided in Section 7 of the ordinance. As required by KRS 83A.060, the following Section 7 of the Ordinance is set forth in its entirety: "Section 7 -- General Obligation; Maintenance of Sinking Fund. The Bonds shall be full general obligations of the County and, for the payment of said Bonds and the interest thereon, the full faith, credit and revenue of the County are hereby pledged for the prompt payment thereof. During the period the Bonds are outstanding, there shall be and there hereby is levied on all the taxable property in the County, in addition to all other taxes, without limitation as to rate, a direct tax annually in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when and as due, it being hereby found and determined that current tax rates are within all applicable limitations. Said tax shall be and is hereby ordered computed, certified, levied and extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers in the same manner and at the same time that taxes for general purposes for each of said years are certified, extended and collected. Said tax shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof provided, however, that in each year to the extent that the other lawfully available funds of the County are available for the payment of the Bonds and are appropriated for such purpose, the amount of such direct tax upon all of the taxable property in the County shall be reduced by the amount of such other funds so available and appropriated. There has previously been established a sinking fund with the County in accordance with the requirements of the Act (the "Sinking Fund"), which is hereby ordered to be continued and maintained so long as any Bonds are outstanding. The funds derived from said tax levy hereby required or other lawfully available funds shall be placed in the Sinking Fund and, together with interest collected on the same, are irrevocably pledged for the payment of the interest on and principal of all bonds issued under the Act and Tax-Supported Leases, as defined in the Act, when and as the same fall due. Amounts shall be transferred from the Sinking Fund to the Bond Payment Fund at the times and in the amounts required by Section 6 hereof."

they pulled me out,” McGlasson recalled. “This is a ‘we’ process,” he said. “A starter’s only as good as the guys working with him. An assistant starter’s ability to understand a horse’s body language and react to it instantaneously is crucial to safety and a fair start. And the best riders have God’s gift of a sixth sense – they can anticipate when a horse is about to do something.” A fair start protects not only the horses, jockeys, and gate crew but also the investment of time and money by the horses’ owners and trainers and the wagering public. With so much riding on the split second the gate opens, the starter also works during training hours to certify that horses are able to stand quietly in the gate while the field is loaded and break cleanly when the
doors open. Until a horse earns its “gate card,” it is not allowed to race. McGlasson supervises schooling in the gate at Turfway Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. – about 30 horses per day on average. Although horses of any age may school on any given day, McGlasson especially noted the teamwork required to gate train young horses, who begin their lessons at the track as young as two years old. “I enjoy working with the babies, teaching them their manners,” he said. “You have to reward them when they’re good and let them know when they’re not. You have to be able to read the difference between fear and attitude. The horse will tell you when he’s ready for the next step. I’m very fortunate that the guys schooling horses with me this summer at Turfway had good teachers. I’m also fortunate to have a good relationship with the trainers. “I like the atmosphere here (during Turfway’s off-season),” he continued. “For babies, it’s quieter than a track during a live meet, and we can take the time we need.” When he’s not working with racehorses, McGlasson operates his family’s business, Northern Kentucky Lakeview Farm, a thriving truck farm now in its fourth generation. His wife, Maggy, is a veterinarian who specializes in dressage horses and owns Lipazzaners. The couple has 19-year-old twins, Michael and Molly.
