Trainers

The best trainers of horse flesh get to be recognised as the best trainers of horse flesh becuase they have the points on the board, they have trained the most winners. Conversely, the best trainers have the most horses under their care so they also likely trained the most losers.

In my experience, race horse trainers are creatures of habit and will train most horses in a similar way. Note: I have never trained a horse let alone a race horse. As always, I try to look at the similarities in data and/or try and see when any change to the status quo appears.

The following stats are not something that will be a sole reason for backing a horse. Any runner I consider must meet certain criteria before I look at these lists.

This list, along with its brother, the Jockey list, is something I use as a scale, something to weigh up a final decision, if one is needed, when two or more horses in a race have rated closely together.

The Tables are for Maiden races betwen March 2020 and January 2026. It will be updated monthly.

There has been just shy of 600 trainers who have trained at least 1 winner of the over 6700 races.

The first bunch of 11 trainers detailled below, are trainers to train at least 100 winners during the period and have trained 1881 of those more than 6700 races.

Yes, 11 trainers have trained just on 30% of the winners.

In the Individual Trainer reconciliations I have added one trainer to make an even 12 in the top echelon and then 6 trainers I think as punters we should keep an eye on, it makes a total of 18 trainers listed.

These figures are only for maiden races in the State of Victoria.

They include races with a current Prize Money payout of 32,000 AUD and above.

Metro maidens raced at Metro tracks are not included, Metro maidens races at Country tracks are mostly included.

Races raced on synthetic tracks are not included.
