Leading Trainers Australia

Australia's leading trainers dominate the premierships in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and the other states. Big stables such as Chris Waller, Ciaron Maher, James Cummings, and the Godolphin operation regularly feature at the top of the tables and in Group 1 races. Following the leading trainers helps you understand which stables are in form and which horses are being prepared for the big races.

Strike rates—the percentage of a trainer's runners that win or place—are a useful form guide. A trainer with a high strike rate at a particular track or distance can be a positive sign when assessing a runner. Stable form is also important: when a stable is firing, multiple winners in a day or week are common. Our Results Today and Racing Today pages show which trainers are saddling winners and where the big stables are racing.

We do not publish a standalone trainer premiership or statistics table, but you can follow results by trainer through our results pages and form guides. For detailed trainer statistics and premiership standings, check the official racing authority websites. Use our feature race and carnival pages to see which trainers are targeting the Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, and other major races.
