Stewart made an unprecedented clean sweep of the seven two-year-old heats at Bendigo on Tuesday night.
This exceeded her tally of five at the corresponding meeting at the same track last year.
Stewart went on to win 16 heats all up across three age groups. She took out seven 3yo heats at Kilmore and four 4yo heats in Ballarat.
Stewart's 2yo winners, with four different drivers, on Tuesday:
- Pandering (driven by Kima Frenning) filly
- Amelia Rose (Amanda Turnbull) filly
- Treasure (Amanda Turnbull) filly
- Mirragon (Greg Sugars) colt
- Jemstone (Chris Alford) filly
- Beale Street (Chris Alford) gelding
- Maajida (Greg Sugars) filly
They lead the charge to semi-finals at Melton on Saturday, June 29.
Other Ballarat pacers to qualify for semi-finals:
Colts and geldings: Sham Rock (trained by Tim McGuigan at Gordon), Monsieur Delacour (Stephen Clarke, Ross Creek), Yejele Hammer (Michael Stanley. Burrumbeet), Adapt (Emma Stewart).
Fillies: Vouchers (Jess Tubbs, Myrniong), Final Peace (David Murphy, Dunnstown) and Artemede (Emma Stewart).
BALLARAT is again the venue for the VSS 4yo heats - three for mares and four for entires and geldings - on Friday night.
Stewart, who already has more than 200 wins to her name this season, will have another 11 starters.
Champion pacer Poster Boy heads the stable's assault on Bray Raceway.
He laid claim to being one of Australia's best pacers when he took out the Chariots of Fire in Sydney earlier this year and then backed up to run third in the Miracle Mile.
Poster Boy resumed with a low-key win at Melton on May 18.
He clashes with the Michael Stanley-trained Rackemup Tigerpie, which finished second in this year's Ballarat Pacing Cup.
Rackemup Tigerpie is also second-up from a spell, having won the Young Pedro Free-For-All at Melton on June 8.
They will both start off the back row in potentially the highlight of the night.
Stewart's other Ballarat runners:
Mares: Frankinsense, Shining Oro, Nostra Villa, Pistol Abbey, Trinity Dreaming, Nostra Beach
Entires and geldings: Major Times, Bettor Be Sorry, Litfntorque, Tam Major, Poster Boy
Major Times and Bettor Be Sorry are on winning streaks and clash in the same heat.
Ballarat and District Trotting Club has 10 races, with the first at 5.36pm.
