Notes on the individual trainers:
- The leading trainer in the 2022-2023 season on each state's metro, provincial, and country tracks.
- The stat refers to the trainer's record with 1st favourite only in the appropriate location.
- As Maher- Eustace headed both metro and provincial in Victoria have covered BWJD Hayes (ranked 2nd) in the provincial category and Price-Kent (3rd) in the country category.
- The minimum number of observations was set at 50, but in SA and WA had to drop that minimum to 30; also had to use 30 for the Hayes brothers.
