I had someone send me this link to last Saturday's trials which shows she is dominating them as a driver too!

That is the starting price of Emma Stewart's runners for April in Victoria so far
She has won 19 out of 23
(Bold type means won)
82.6% Success Rate
Why is it not all over the sports pages and media as WORLD CHAMPION eclipsing stuff
(She finished off March with 6 of her last 9 runners all winners)
While researching this I also noticed how a few trainers are going gang-busters this month.
Trying not to be a negative Nellie I must say I also wondered whether the Integrity Department follow these trends

With the APG heats today, the stable had multiple runners in the same race for the first time this month, as you cannot win the same race twice, I am now changing the Success Rate defiinition to Races Won/Races Contested
26 days into April the Stewart stable has now
Won 26 races of the 35 they have contested
= 74.2 %
(and 35 races is not a small sample)

PP is highly suspicious of Emma's strike rate
Drawing attention to the fact that in the last 14 days she has won 27 of 38 races in Victoria
That is a 71% strike rate
He lists them to illustrate that she has won every major race at every track in that period
(see attached snip)
He says that these numbers are unheard of anywhere in the world
If people are skeptical of these results, it is important to address the issue as it is of utmost importance that the public have confidence that the industry is clean
In a recent American interview that I posted (post 420)
https://www.harnessracingforum.com/s...mp-Ugly/page42
Fred suggests the recent FBI investigations are the only way to ensure a clean industry as drug testing cannot stay ahead of the latest drugs
Stewards on the ground/in stables would have to be good for stables like the Stewart stable too - it would put an end to this type of talk

Wind the dial in the Tardis back to anytime between 1980 and 1990 and you would find Bob and Vinny Knight would be envious of that record. More to the point they would be wondering what they were doing wrong.
Emma Stewart actually had 15 fillies in the Breeders Crown 3yo heats at Bendigo tonight. Miscellaneous trainers had the other 26
Emma Stewart qualified 15/15
The others only 9/26

Thanks to the above
Emma Stewart has 9 of the 12 runners in the 3yo fillies 1st Semi and 6 of the 12 in the 2nd Semi
She also has 6 of the 12 in the 2yo colts 1st Semi

at a Metro track where they have a strong racing industry
- a trainer wins 8 of the 9 races they contest
I am going to ignore Tassie as it is not a strong industry
Has Mark Purdon possibly done it in NZ?
Gallops anyone?
ps We can disregard the number of runners the stable had as they only needed their favourite each time
(I will eventually roll this into the Stewart Stable Remarkable thread)

Michael Howard reports
Stewart’s eight victories matched her stable’s feat in the 2018 Vicbred Super Series semi-finals and was only one win shy of the national record, the unprecedented mark she set in Launceston in April.
The trainer has also recorded seven wins at single meetings on four occasions and six wins on five occasions, achievements that have her on course for an extraordinary eighth successive state and metropolitan premiership sweep.

It would seem as though she is the only one to have done it (before)
