"The short answer to all trainer questions in 2024 was: Stephen Murdock.
Murdock, training for Robert Cole, Jr., won with half of his 48 starters, an absurdly high percentage...With such a high win percentage, it’s no surprise that he also led the colony by nabbing over 35% of available purse money..." - The Biz, 1.3.25

"Across all US and Canadian tracks, Arnaldo Bocachica and Stephen Murdock are tied for the 6th best winning percentage together (3 of 5, 60%) over the last 45 days for all jockey and trainer combinations with at least 5 starts together. That includes 4 times in the money and a $2 ROI of $1.96.

"#4 Sarah’s Candy Camp (7-5)
has won two straight races at Charles Town. He was claimed out of victory in a $12,500 claimer against West Virginia-breds sprinting 4 1/2 furlongs; then, in his first start for ultra-hot trainer Stephen Murdock (a 51% winner at Charles Town this meet), Sarah’s Candy Comp won a non-state-restricted seven-furlong allowance."
"Three months earlier, Teachintherelease provided Murdock with his first stakes win as a trainer, and on Saturday night he notched his second as the Windsor Castle gelding prevailed in the Funkhouser." "... Cole said. “Right now, we’ve only got five horses in training and Stephen basically does everything on his own. He has no help – he’s trainer and groom."
