Looking to extend dominance interstate

FRESH from a clean sweep of her local Australian Pacing Gold Sales Series, champion horsewoman Emma Stewart is looking to extend her domination interstate.

Last month the record-breaking Victorian training won both APG heats and Finals for fillies and colts/geldings.

Successful in their qualifiers in Bendigo, Loucosso and Degarmea Teale repeated the dose in the $150,000 Melton-based deciders a week later.

In doing so, Loucosso took his record to an impressive four wins from five starts, while Degarmea Teale is unbeaten from two outings.

"It was a great series for the stable," Stewart said. "I couldn't have been happier with the results, especially for our owners.

"To win the heats and the Finals is a perfect outcome for all involved."

This time around Stewart is crossing the Murray River to tackle one of tomorrow's APG Preludes at Club Menangle.

Like Degarmea Teale, Dynamitedan is poised to make his debut in a prelude.

By Somebeachsomewhere, the colts hails from a family littered with top class performers, including Group One winners Albert Kelly, Mcraes Mate, Greg Kelly, Tims A Trooper, Molly Kelly and millionaire mare Frith.

To be driven by the 'King' of Menangle, Luke McCarthy, Dynamitedan has drawn barrier seven over a mile.

"The draw is not ideal, but not a major concern either," Stewart said. "We quite like him and think he will be hard to beat.

"He's got a lot to live up to as far as his bloodline goes and hopefully he can do just that, beginning with Menangle and then onto the Final."

McCarthy has also been enlisted by West Australian horseman Michael Brennan to partner Impermissible from gate eight in the fillies' qualifier.

The daughter of Capt Midnight was runner-up upon debut last February before being sent back to a paddock in preparation for this series.

Locally-trained youngster Myras Mint shapes as the one to beat for leading horseman Anton Golino despite drawing seven.

Myras Mint was triumphant at Menangle in 1:56.2 last March.
