Off to a perfect start in their careers, two-year-old pacing fillies Twin B Joe Fresh and Vivians Dream remained undefeated in the Friday, July 15 leg of the New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) at Tioga Downs.

Twin B Joe Fresh ($2.70) won the $54,500 NYSS first division in rein to Jason Bartlett.

Hunting Season (Tyler Buter) took the lead just before hitting the quarter first in :27 but Twin B Joe Fresh took control with a lap to go.  She was first to the half in :56.2.  Zira (Cory Braden) came first-up to challenge down the backstretch but Twin B Joe Fresh shook her off and led to three-quarters in 1:24.1. As the field made the turn for home, Twin B Joe Fresh had plenty in the tank and coasted to an easy win in 1:52.3.  Hunting Season was second best, finishing three lengths behind.  Kissin Joe (Mike Merton) finished third. 

Twin B Joe Fresh is a filly by Roll With Joe out of the Captaintreacherous mare Fresh Breeze.  She is owned by trainer Chris Ryder, Dexter Dunn and Peter Trebotica and Barry Spak.  The filly is now three-for-three in 2022 with previous wins in the Geers and NYSS.

Vivians Dream ($2.40) held firm to win the $55,500 second division with Wally Hennessey in the bike. 

Earthwindfire (Jack Pelling) led to the first quarter in :27, but her lead was short-lived as Vivians Dream bolted to the front as they headed to the stands for the first time.  She was first to the half in :56.2 and continued to control things as she led to three-quarters in 1:24.4. As the field made the turn for home, Earthwindfire popped the pocket and came all out after the leader.  Vivians Dream dug in as second-place finisher Earthwindfire gave one last lunge.  Vivians Dream won by half a length in a new mark of 1:52.1.  Ideal Star (Mike Merton) finished back in third. 

Vivians Dream is by American Ideal out of the Sportswriter mare Sports Chic.  She is owned by Forrest Bartlett and trained by Cory Mumford.  Vivians Dream has earned all three of her wins in NYSS action.
