Trainers

It is reckoned that the single most important character in a racehorse’s career is the trainer.

It is the job of the trainer to evaluate the talent they are working with and to ensure the appropriate methods are employed in the training of a particular animal. The trainer teaches horses how to race, hones their speed, builds their endurance, sees to their care, provides dietary requirements, and calls in help to heal horses injuries. The trainer creates a racing program and selects the races in which the horses will compete. Some trainers are very successful with young horses. Some excel running speedy horses going short distances. A good trainer may make a moderate horse perform better, whereas a bad trainer may be the catalyst for a horse with great potential falling short of its professional expectations.

One of the most telling marks of a good trainer is consistency i.e. they are able to get a horse to maintain winning form and produce a series of wins.

Knowing the trainers, and being able to pick up on their hot and cold spells, is a top priority in making winning selections at the track. To gain an idea of which trainers are the most successful, it is necessary to study the form sheets and the various statistical compilations concerning trainers.
