About

Emphatic Bel is a 6yo bay mare trained by Michael Denison in Coonamble. She is by Belardo out of Dogmatic and has amassed four wins to date. On 15 June 2023 at Wyong she secured her most important triumph, taking the $40,000 Maiden Handicap. The horse has proved a rewarding choice for bettors, with a cumulative 24% return on investment for those who supported her throughout her career.
