Carlos Martin was raised in a family of horsemen - Grandson of Hall of Fame Inductee Frank Martin and son of Jose Martin, trainer of 3 Eclipse Award Champions, Carlos was involved in racing from an early age.

 

Having been dubbed “Computer Carlos” in his preteen years by the New York racing press for his extensive knowledge of American Bloodlines and exacting pedigree analytical skills, Carlos made an impression right away. He received his training license at age 19 and at age 21 became the youngest trainer to win a Grade I race in North America when he sent out Buy the Firm to win the Top Flight Handicap for $225,000.

 

As of May - 2022, Carlos’ record stands at 757 Victories, over $30 Million in earnings and 32 black type stakes wins. (See "Stats" below & "Brochure" section for more information) 

 

Carlos has trained a number of notable horses. Examples include 2019 Mare Standout - Come Dancing, Winner of the Grade I Ballerina at Saratoga & 5 other Black Type & Graded Wins in 2019 & 2020 - earning $1,216,783 in her career under Carlos.

​

Carlos spotted Key Contender at auction, a 6yr. Old with a notable pedigree but lackluster racing record. Carlos purchased him for $170,000. He went on to place in multiple graded stakes and won the Grade I $500,000 suburban Handicap.
