Twin B Joe Fresh leads field of nine for Milton Stakes
MILTON, August 25, 2026 – Superstar Twin B Joe Fresh will look for a Milton Stakes three-peat on Saturday, September 5 at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
The $3 million-plus winning Twin B Joe Fresh was one of nine pacing mares entered Tuesday for this year’s Milton Stakes (G2). The event moves directly to a final with no eliminations necessary.
From the nine entered, seven will line up in a $50,000 Mares Open this Saturday at Mohawk Park. Twin B Joe Fresh is one of the entrants for this weekend’s prep.
A six-year-old daughter of Roll With Joe, Twin B Joe Fresh set a Milton Stakes record in the 2025 final, stopping the clock in 1:47.4 to earn her second consecutive win in the event.
The Chris Ryder trainee struggled to start 2026 with disappointing efforts in the Roses Are Red at Mohawk, but quickly turned things around by winning three of her next five starts. Her stablemate Miki And Minnie got the best of her on three occasions this year, but is sidelined for the remainder of the season due to injury.
