HORSE RACE STARTING GATE

摘要

A starter assembly which is used to provide a staggered running start for horses racing around an oval track comprises a base portion which mounts the assembly in a vehicle moving at the front of the race and a gating system comprising a central gate member which is located between a pair of corresponding gate arms. The central gate member is pivotally secured to the base portion for swinging the central gate member from a race starting position extending diagonally of the track, and after the race has started, to a ready to fold position perpendicular the track with the gate arms in line with the central gate member. The gate arms are then folded forwardly in a balanced manner at opposite ends of the central gate member.
