Greyhound Trainer of the Year

The Greyhound Trainer of the Year or Champion Trainer is an award for the leading greyhound trainer in the United Kingdom.

It was inaugurated in 1961 and was originally elected by a press panel [1] but is now awarded to the trainer who achieves the most points for winning open races on the Greyhound Board of Great Britain annual racing calendar. [2]

The award should not be confused with the Trainers Championship which is an annual event held between the leading six trainers. [3]
