A licensed trainer for more than 40 years, Frazee, 66, learned horse training under his late grandfather, W. F. Frazee. The family is originally out of Eads, Colorado, but Larry has made his home in Guthrie, Oklahoma since 1988. “Racing is all I’ve ever known. The game has been good to me,” hementioned, “I’ve been racing at Oaklawn, off and on, for years. A race track lifer, he is usually positive, frequently successful, never ungracious and speaks with the best of horse racing on his tongue.       "For years our two main meetings were Omaha and Denver and we would fill in around them, maybe Oaklawn, Albuquerque, or a trip to Chicago in the fall," Larry reflected. “my circuit now is mainly Oaklawn, Lone Star and  Remington."          Larry has seen many changes to racing since he came on board. He added, “simulcasting, games of skill, phone betting, slots, the wide range of exotic wagering and the festival concept are all changes I’ve seen. We used to have maybe one stakes race a week, or holiday, whereas today a track might have two, or three, in one day. “
