Can Emma create history again?

Can Emma create history again?

Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin are on the verge of running five horses in the Inter Dominion series. They have won four of the six heats so far and are favourites in three remaining heats at Geelong on Saturday night. Their two best pacers, Ladies In Red and Captain Ravishing, are not in InterDominion.

The Inter Dominion has never been a focus of Stewart's business model. It's taken a lot of time and changing up lots of things to get the horses right for Grand Circuit racing and an Inter Dominion this year.

Act Now is the stable's best chance. Mach Dan is consistent and his win at Shepparton was good. Beyond Delight is a different horse. The fields for the pacing and trotting finals will be confirmed after the final round of heats at Geelong and the vital barrier draws done next Monday. Honolua Bay is $1.60 to complete a clean sweep at the Geelan.
