Trainer Name: Ripley Marsh
Horses Trained: Probably 20+
Why Trainer Should Win: Ripley Marsh is no stranger to Final Furlong, having trained some of the top horses in the game this season alone. Six out of many of her top horses were able to clinch wins in the Y17 Breeder's Cup and while many of her other horses ran in HOTY's year round. I think if you browse through her barn you'll know why she is nominated as trainer of the year.

Trainer Name: Carter McDowell
Horses Trained: 0 (# of horses trained during Y17)
Why Trainer Should Win: McDowell has an uncanny ability to bring the best out of every horse. His barn is full of thoroughbreds of all ages who all seem to have something to brag about within their records. Though not every horse can be a star, Carter McDowell is certainly going to give every horse that walks through his doors every chance they need to rise above expectation.

Trainer Name: Leo Turner
Horses Trained: ~25
Why Trainer Should Win: Despite being a new stable the HT ponies rarely place out of the money.

Trainer Name: Amber Black
Horses Trained: Full SOPS Roster
Why Trainer Should Win: Amber Black trained many horses to crazy heights this season. She trained five/six (I forget) Breeders Cup winners and a Triple Crown winner. All of her horses won at least one leg of most of the major series, including two legs of the Turf Triple Sprinter Crown, many Red and Green Mile series wins, and more. She took two juveniles to grade two, five to grade three, and four to grade four by the end of the season. Her older horses competed successfully in HoTY races. Amber has a gift for building horses up as well as for maintaining their form throughout the season. She is a gifted trainer.
