"Em has done an amazing job turning our Country Cup Fashion on The Field contests into beautiful social and fashion events. She has donated her time and expertise into helping dozens of our Country Clubs elevate their Cup meetings into something extra special, she has encouraged dozens of contestants to race days and has been a huge contributor to Racing in our state.
Her work involving her social media is inclusive to all clubs, big and small, the same way she treats anybody that has the pleasure of meeting her. Her presence and enthusiasm is second to none."
- Briga Fliedner
Director, County Racing Victoria
"Emma is a delight and the most hardworking ambassador to represent spring racing in Far North Queensland. Her five—year tenure is a testament to this. Emma is a woman of many talents. She is meticulous, glamorous, punctual, and down-to-earth. However, her eagerness to promote the Cairns Amateurs Carnival through her networks, provide sound bites and interviews, and offer support during the critical lead-up phase has truly impressed me. Her enthusiasm and passion for our spring carnival, horse racing, and fashion are infectious."

"Em has always been a delight to work with, through my experiences in the Racing Industry with her. We have worked closely together through our collaborations mostly due to Fashions on the Field. I’ve watched Em from a competitor right through to creating and managing its all about the sash website, but also through her efforts to give back to the racing industry either by Judging or working alongside many of the racing clubs not just in Victoria but also Australia wide.
She has always dressed immaculately and is regarded as one of the hardest competitors to get past in the Fashion’s on the Field competition. I love her style, the way she conducts herself not only on the stage, but also as a judge who is fair and understands the rules of what Fashion’s on the Field is all about.
I thoroughly enjoy working alongside her and enjoy the company of her mum who she always has at the races with her for a fun day out (dressed to impress I might add)."

"Em is a fantastic ambassador for racing. She is warm, passionate, extremely knowledgeable and is actively involved in promoting racing fashion to everyone.
Her fashion sense is always elegant, on trend, and she keeps surprising us with her unique style, but what I love about Em is her enthusiasm for the industry."
