    Best trainers around the country?

    Just an opinions poll - who do people think are the most astute trainers and/or horsepersons in each state?

    Not neccessarily a trainer with dozens and dozens in work. Might not ever win a premiership (or might).

    Doesn't break them down too often. Doesn't race them into the ground as juveniles unless they are absolutely mature enough. Looks after them and tends to get horses through a full career. Has a great strike rate for producing the best out of his/her animals.

    Who do people really rate as the best of the best?

    Partner of Peter's son Clayton. They may be good trainers but they are always active at the yearling sales with plenty of cash. Does that make them better than Johnny up the road who can't afford good cattle? Interesting

    Bit biased being a QLDer from a long way back, and though he is now on the cusp of retirement, Bill Dixon for me. His records going back to the 70's speak volumes for a bloke who had cattle of limited ability/cast-offs etc and limited tracks to race at way up north. Eventually made the move to S E Qld and found a place to showcase his trade.

    If I had a pick of a trainer to send one horse to it would be the Tonkin/Stewart setup.

    Yes i found it hard to divide the two as they both have brillant youngsters each year. It's funny how both parties haven't had too many that i have noticed carry on after the baby years ?

    This is a hard one. Are we judging by the amount of money that is behind them or are we judging by trainers that can get lower priced horses to win some nice races etc.
