How to Nominate a Trainer for the Racing Hall of Fame

In the world of horse racing, the jockeys and horses are usually front and center. While behind the scenes, the trainer works tirelessly to help the jockey and horse race their best. Now that is not to say they don't get any attention but the trainer can be under appreciated at times. One way to make certain a trainer gets their due is to nominate them for the racing hall of fame.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Recognize that to nominate a trainer for the racing hall of fame, the trainer must have been licensed for 25 years and currently in retirement. After those 25 years of service, a nomination in the name of the trainer can be made. In addition, the trainer is eligible for the hall of fame for another 25 years.
2. Amass as much information as possible to support the nomination of the horse trainer. These include but are not limited to; press clippings, racing record, articles and peer quotes.
3. Submit the information to the nomination committee. Each member of the committee and the public may nominate one person per year.
4. Understand the nomination committee will then review the nomination. The nomination committee then votes for the candidate they determine worthy of a nomination. Then that nomination is forwarded to the voting panel.
5. Realize that should a nomination fail, a person may nominate the candidate again the next year. If after 25 years the person has failed to get the necessary votes, the nomination can be sent to special selection committee.
