Only twice since 2004 have fans seen successive Dan Patch Horse of the Year Award winners in action in the same season, but with Saturday’s return of female pacer Twin B Joe Fresh, that will change.
Twin B Joe Fresh, the 2024 Dan Patch Horse of the Year, will make her 2026 debut Saturday (June 6) in the first of two C$35,000 eliminations for the Roses Are Red Stakes at Ontario’s Woodbine Mohawk Park. The 6-year-old mare, who saw her campaign last season cut short because of an injury in late October, has won the past two editions of the Grade 1 event for older female pacers.
