Hoofnote:
Emperor is not the first Australian pacer to carry that name.
The original Emperor was a 1948 colt by King Oro from New Princess and, although bred in Victoria, he won 13 races in Western Australia including eight city class races at Gloucester Park and Richmond Park and was runner-up to Dillon Tower in the £750 1958 New Year Handicap.
