Dean Glispie has a methodical and common sense to train racing horses – not in contrast to the system, which he used in the 16 years as a high school basketball coach.
“I get a lot of what I do with the horses with this high school basketball player,” said 63-year-old Washington Court House, Ohio Naiv,. “Ultimately, it is all about reading their player. Some of them would have to take the jersey to attract their attention, and others only needed their confirmation that they were fine. It is the same with horses – as a trainer, they do everything they need to get the best out of them.”
Dean, who now lives in Sedalia, Ohio, just lives a stone's throw from his hometown, is a second generation rider who fell in love with belt horses at the age of six.
“My father (Kenneth) bought his first horse in 1968 when I was 6 years ancient and I was thrilled,” Dean recalled. “In the early 1970s he was first owned by the business and had Mark Ferguson training for him and then Ed Meyers. Dad owned the Heinold Hog market – with several places in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.
This first horse was Diane Chase, a speed of Chase Me, from the Athlone Guy Mare Flaxey Girl. She made a recording of P, 4, 2: 07.3f and earned $ 2,738. Ken's second horse was a mare called Pleasant Princess, P, 5, 2: 07.4 ($ 12.113); A daughter of the Royal Valley Princess Kar Su-Brown Prince.
“These two mares inspired him to the shop, and at that time we went them every weekend,” said Dean. “Ed (Meyers) put me on the jog car early on and when I was 8 years ancient, he started and let me jog. I lived on these weekends just to be near the horses.”
Dean visited and completed the Madison Plains High School and took part in basketball and other sports, but his mind was always in the barn.
“As a child, you dream of being a professional basketball player, but I knew that it really wasn't on my cards,” said Dean. “My mother (Mary Ann) wanted me to go to the college in a worse way, but I got my qualification license at the age of 14 and then my fair license, and I drove the night when I had become 18 at Scioto with my p -license, and won the first and last races with Papa's horses, which was quite a thrill.”
Dean also has no problem reminding the names of this horse.
“Pearl's son P, 5, 2: 00.2 ($ 17,120) A son of Captain Courageous-Sampsons Pearl-Sampson Direkt
and Love Money P, 3, 2: 00F (39.022 US dollars), by Golden Money Maker, our Reed's Knight Mare Lovely Reed. That was just the beginning of things, and finally I took over the training of father horses and my mother and my father helped in the barn with the care of the horses. “
During this first year, Dean trained a stable of six to eight, with his parents helping him on the London exhibition center. But then he got the itching to do something else.
“I was 24 years ancient and had the feeling that I had to learn more and had the chance to work for one of the best, so I went to work for chip (Sam Noble),” he offered. “I worked for chip for six years, and the greatest thing he taught me was riding art. He would always say: 'You cannot train a horse through the book – if you can't read it, you cannot train it.' The chip meant that they had to work with the personality of a horse.
After staying at Chip, Dean returned to his training and initially concentrated on teenage horses, but then decided that he preferred the over the above.
“We mainly drove in the pari-mutuels,” he said. “Probably the first really nice horse I had, a compact pacemaker named Dream Escort that my parents were bought for 200 dollars. The horse was there on a exhibition center and my parents were there, and the coach who had him at the time was just with the horse with the horse who already had an arch tendon. My father gave the guy 200 dollars and brought the horse home.
Dream Escort P, 6, 1: 56.4f was a son of Ecstatic Escort Fairest Dream-Bret Hannover, who won from 163 starts with 25, 32 seconds and 19-thirds for Dean and his people. The second of 12 foals, Dream Escort, was a full brother of the Film Escort P, 5, 1: 57.3f (USD 109,236).
“We kept him until mom and dad sold the farm, and then they sold it to a man in Indiana as a pet, and he finally lived a good life,” said Dean.
Three decades later, Dean collected 301 victories, 335 seconds and 319 thirds for 2,685,306 US dollars. His best year took place in 2023 when he secured statistics of 41-38-37 and $ 457,530 in seasonal income. Last year (2024), the horses he trained deserved 328,543 US dollars from 23 trips to the circle of the winner, and in 2022 his horses earned $ 409,615 of 29 triumph.
Dean is now training on Dan Ater's ancient farm in Clarksburg, Ohio, and his girlfriend Sandy Hanners and his son Damon assist with barn work to be 13.
“I trained babies, but in recent years I have mainly gone a horse route overnight,” said Dean. “We buy 2-year-olds who come and do our best to make them conditioned horses. I could go into the meadows or the Hoosier Park here and there, but I prefer to stay near home and near home.”
One of his best horses in recent years came in the form of stone Shining Star, a son of rockin image bikini Star-Jennas Beach Boy, who had taken on a brand of 1: 48.2 for the driver David Miller over the night on July 1, 2023.

His latest stable star is howaboutayanke p, 3, 1: 49.3f ($ 139,322), a son of Be dancin-Opie's Girl-Art Official, owned by the star second stable (Daniel Dreyfuss & Michale Kerns).
This teenage person bought on December 19, 2023 (now 4 in 2025) won seven out of 21 starts in 2024 as well as three seconds and three thirds. He earned 138,282 US dollars and took a brand of 1: 49.3 at Scioto Downs with Trevor Smith on the lines in the event of an overnight event.
Seaside Star is another gli dispenser, a 3-year-old changed son of Downby theseaside-Rock N Roll Xample Rocknroll Hannover, which its owners acquired on September 25, 2024. Most recently, the gelding was on the Miami Valley Raceway in 1: 56.4 with Brett Miller in the lines in a non-winner of one.

Dean also has great hopes for my princess A, a 3-year-old Somewhere where Stut foals that is the first foal from the odd Live Or the mare Sabrina Bromac and belongs to the Curtin anz stalls of coral feathers, FL,
“Over the years I have changed my training methods a little when I trained two to three trips,” noted Dean. I train you every three days and show you speed, but I only go a trip and it worked for myself. And they move every day except on Sunday.
“I had a passion for this work for as long as I remember,” added Dean. “It is seven days a week, and even if you are sitting in a chair at the end of the day, think about thinking about the horses. What I have learned over the years is that there is no teacher -like experience, and that is what I like to do. I like to draw and listen.
