MILTON, September 14, 2024 – Twin B Joe Fresh completed the sweep of Woodbine’s marquee pacing mare events for 2024 with a victory in Saturday’s $205,000 Milton Stakes.
A winner of June’s Roses Are Red, Twin B Joe Fresh had all eyes on her as the 1/9 favourite against five of the sport’s finest mares.
Leaving from the rail, Twin B Joe Fresh scooted out to get away second behind rival Sylvia Hanover, who posted a :27.1 opening panel. Driver and co-owner Dexter Dunn moved ‘Joe Fresh’ around to the lead in the second-quarter to post a reasonable half of :56.
With the ball in her court, Twin B Joe Fresh kicked things up on the far turn with a :27.2 third-quarter before unleashing as easy of a :25.4 final-quarter as possible to win in 1:49.1.
Not to be forgotten, Sylvia Hanover finished very strong right behind the winner to edge Silver Label for the place position. Prohibition Legal finished fourth.
“She felt great, post parade tonight was probably the best she felt all year,” said Dunn of Twin B Joe Fresh. “She’s extremely bright at the moment, she’s feeling good and I was really happy with her going to the gate.”
A four-year-old daughter of Roll With Joe, Twin B Joe Fresh is trained by Chris Ryder, who shares ownership with Dunn, Peter Trebotica and Barry Spak. She’s now won eight of nine starts this season to earn nearly $700,000.
Saturday’s win was the 27th career score for ‘Joe Fresh’ to take her over $2.1 million in career earnings.
A $2 win ticket on Twin B Joe Fresh paid $2.20.
