In the past 14 days, Emma Stewart trained horses have competed in 38 pacing races in Victoria. Stewart has won 27 of these 38 races. Her winning strike rate is a barely believable 71.1%. During this two week period the Stewart stable has won $445 310 from these pacing races alone. She has won every […]
