Trainer Name: Amber Black
Horses Trained: 21
Why Trainer Should Win: Amber Black trained horses up to champion status at the same time as she maintained others' class. Ventura, Demonic Desires, Limited Edition and In The Spotlight continued winning races under her guidance. Wish Upon A Star rose up to take commanding control of the classic turf division under her guidance. Pandora won the Turf Triple Crown. Fleet Street rose to forge himself a place despite mainly being an undercarder by performing spectacularly in the Risorgimento Series. Trinity and Silent Snap posed threats and stole races in their divisions. Amber also trained a highly respected juvenile division. Adrasteia, Ares, Coincidence, Cyclonaria, Incognito and Melodious are only some of the names she brought up in the racing world. With horses such as these, Amber's horses performed spectacularly on the tracks. Her training job deserves recognition - it takes skill to both bring horses up to renown and to keep them there.

Trainer Name: Michael "Cole" Mavecci
Horses Trained: ~28
Why Trainer Should Win: Cole has shown, year after year, that he has a knack for taking horses that are underachievers and turning them into forces to be reckoned with. This year he showed it once again with a number of horses: Bowen Arrow, a create with few expectations, won two major HOTY* races this year. Beautiful Liar, who has not seen top form since her three-year-old year, became a major player in the Filly and Mare Turf division, taking third in the same Breeders' Cup race. Wild Determination, an older mare in her first start, went from two wins to ten this season. In the classic fields, he took Baciami, who was nearly deleted because of lack of interest at one point, to second place in the Kentucky Derby and nabbed him a win in the Red Mile series. On top of these turnaround success stories, he is also able to create new talent (with juveniles winning many major races this year) and maintain the current success of horses - even elevating them (Sweet Inferno, Breeders' Cup Marathon winner). Cole Mavecci is a patient trainer, letting the horses go at their own pace, and it has continued to reward him as the years go on.
