Welcome to one of the most loaded Saturday night cards of the 2026 standardbred season at Woodbine Mohawk Park in Campbellville, Ontario. Thirteen races packed with North America’s finest horses make tonight a must-watch for harness racing fans everywhere.

The centerpiece of the evening is a pair of Pepsi North America Cup XLIII Eliminations in Races 7 and 9, where the top five finishers from each heat punch their ticket to next Saturday’s $1,000,000 Grade 1 Final. The spotlight shines brightest on the unbeaten Beau Jangles, who brings a perfect fifteen-for-fifteen record into Race 9 after sweeping both the Metro Pace and the Breeders Crown last year. He faces Grade 3 winner Brandon Blvd, the record-setting Odds On Mr Mamba, and Burke brigade entries Al Papi and Melillo in what promises to be the race of the night.

The fillies are equally compelling across three Fan Hanover Eliminations in Races 2, 4 and 6, headlined by the unbeaten Be Perfect BG, Breeders Crown champion Loua Dipa, nine-from-ten sensation A Clean Deal, and Kentucky standout Topville Lucky — all chasing a spot in the $420,000 Fan Hanover Final.

The older mare division delivers in two Roses Are Red Eliminations in Races 8 and 10, featuring the highly anticipated comeback of $3.4 million earner Twin B Joe Fresh against the red-hot Louies Girl N, while Breeders Crown heroine Miki And Minnie and the explosive The Last Martini clash in Race 10.

Race 5 brings out Dan Patch Award winner Ervin Hanover, holder of the Canadian Record at 1:46-2, making his 2026 debut in what is widely expected to be a sharp tuneup ahead of next week’s Mohawk Gold Cup.

The $75,000 Guaranteed Early Pick 5 fires in Race 1, the $0.20 Pick 6 begins in Race 4, and the Late Pick 5 launches in Race 6 — delivering outstanding wagering opportunities across the entire card.

Don’t forget — next Saturday June 13th is FREE ADMISSION for the $1,000,000 Pepsi North America Cup Final right here at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

Post Time 6:30 PM.

RACE 1 — NW $9,000 LAST 4 STARTS | PURSE: $22,000

 #6 WAFFLE BLUE CHIP — 3-1 | Draws the best post, gets Roy back, and was simply outclassed last week in the Graduate against the fastest field in Canada this year.

 #10 DUBLIN DASHER — 9-2 | Travis Cullen/Jodie Cullen combo has 787 starts together at 14% and $1.29 ROI; has been racing in Open company and drops significantly here.

 #3 RIPASSO — 6-1 | Won at this class level two starts back and closed in 26-flat last week; Jason Bartlett is quietly one of the hottest drivers at WEG right now.

 LONGSHOT: #9 LEGION SEELSTER — 15-1 | Won at this class level two starts ago; Daryl Thiessen takes over and the Puddy barn has been patient pointing this gelding.

RACE 2 — FAN HANOVER ELIMINATION | 3-YEAR-OLD FILLIES | PURSE: $35,000

 #2 TOPVILLE LUCKY — 3-5 | Six for six lifetime including a Grand Circuit win; adds Lasix today which explains her lone poor performance in her sophomore debut.

 #6 LAVENDER SEELSTER — 8-1 | Won wire-to-wire two starts back then closed fast against mighty A Clean Deal last out; draws the best post tonight with Roy.

 #1 MY GIRL FRIDAY — 10-1 | Unbeaten at two and dominant in London last week; Bartlett upgrades from Roy and this filly has shown a 26-flat closing kick at this level.

 LONGSHOT: #5 POWNAL BAY BOBBI — 15-1 | Led the field to the half in her last OSS start and showed early speed; Duane Marfisi now trains her after a barn change and the stable is hot.

RACE 3 — 5YO & YOUNGER, WINNERS OF 3-5 RACES OR $100K LIFETIME | PURSE: $24,000

#7 AXIAL — 7-2 | Has been the most consistent horse in this division all season; won last out against softer company and Douglas McNair has been on fire lately at WEG.

 #3 SILVERWALLS — 9-2 | Massive effort last week pacing a 1:21-flat three-quarter fraction before being caught wide; Tyler Borth has him rolling and he figures as a big speed threat.

 #6 FIRE CONTROL — 15-1 | Three wins in his last six starts and led every step two starts back; Travis Henry is underrated and the Frey barn has a 25% ROI with him.

 LONGSHOT: #10 MAJOR THREAT — 10-1 | Disqualified after a strong effort last week following a wheel-locking incident; should be completely overlooked on the board and adds value to exotics.

RACE 4 — FAN HANOVER ELIMINATION | 3-YEAR-OLD FILLIES | PURSE: $35,000

 #6 BE PERFECT BG — 4-5 | Eight for eight lifetime and draws the best post; wins both on the lead and stalking and Dexter Dunn knows this filly inside out.

 #1 EASY STATION — 4-1 | Three straight wins to open 2026 with a blistering 26-flat kick last out; improving rapidly and McNair/Marfisi combo is currently the hottest at WEG.

#2 GALA — 9-2 | Five wins from seven starts with two seconds in the other two; a sharp daughter of Downbytheseaside who draws second and Bartlett is a strong upgrade.

 LONGSHOT: #7 SHACARRI — 15-1 | Finished second in the Hackett at Mvr earlier this season; Ronnie Wrenn Jr drives and the Burke barn rarely ships horses without a reason.

RACE 5 — OPEN | PURSE: $40,000

 #3 ERVIN HANOVER — 4-5 | Dan Patch Award winner and Canadian record holder at 1:46-2; two sharp qualifiers indicate he is ready and Dexter Dunn reunites with this horse.

 #5 LOUS WORLD — 10-1 | Won in 1:49-flat two back and draws fairly tonight; Mark MacDonald chose him over other options and the Merner barn has a 42.9% win rate last 5 days.

 LONGSHOT: #1 JABBERWOCKY — 15-1 | Two dominant front-end wins in his last two starts including a wire-to-wire in 1:49-3; Trevor Henry/Richard Zeron have a 27% win rate together and he draws the rail.

RACE 6 — FAN HANOVER ELIMINATION | 3-YEAR-OLD FILLIES | PURSE: $35,000

 #5 LOUA DIPA — 6-5 | Breeders Crown champion who equaled the Canadian record at two; two straight losses could simply be preparation tighteners with Ronnie Wrenn Jr aboard.

#4 A CLEAN DEAL — 9-5 | Nine wins from ten career starts and three wins to open 2026; draws well tonight and McNair/Marfisi is the single hottest combo at WEG this season.

 #1 DAYA — 8-1 | Won her last OSS start in track-record conditions; Jody Jamieson and John Darling are a combined 33% together and she draws the inside tonight.

 LONGSHOT: #7 FABULOUS HANOVER — 15-1 | Grand Circuit winner here in the Champlain Stakes last year; only needs a top-four finish to advance and Louis-Philippe Roy fires her forward.

RACE 7 — PEPSI NORTH AMERICA CUP ELIMINATION | 3-YEAR-OLD OPEN | PURSE: $50,000

#6 SWEET LOVIN LOU — 9-5 | Gets the best post, James Macdonald drives aggressively, and he paced a 53-flat back half against sharp older pacers two starts ago.

#5 AL PAPI — 7-2 | Yannick Gingras keeps the mount on this Burke colt who has been given three quiet prep starts; three losses without really being asked suggests he is ready now.

#7 NO WAITLIST — 5-1 | Three strong back-to-back-to-back efforts and McNair chose him over the #2 horse tonight; aggressive front-end horse who should grab a share.

 LONGSHOT: #3 AZRAEL BLUE CHIP — 8-1 | Seven wins from twelve lifetime starts and hit the board in all four races this year; adds Lasix tonight and Andrew McCarthy is a capable reinsman.

RACE 8 — ROSES ARE RED ELIMINATION | FILLIES & MARES | PURSE: $35,000

#1 LOUIES GIRL N — 6-5 | Twelve wins from fourteen starts since arriving from New Zealand; paced her first sub-1:50 mile last out in the Betsy Ross and appears to still be improving.

#4 TWIN B JOE FRESH — 4-5 | Won six of nine and earned $724K last year before a lame scratch ended her season; Dexter Dunn co-owns her and two solid qualifiers say she is ready.

#2 ALWAYS B NAUGHTY — 5-1 | Two wins in a row to open 2026 and this is now her fourth start back meaning she should be razor sharp; Austin Hanners/Todd Luther are 33% together.

 LONGSHOT: #7 ALWAYS DAWN — 20-1 | Won last out in 1:52-1 closing hard in 27-flat; Tyler Borth and Kevin Benn have a 27% win rate together with an $11.25 ROI at WEG.

RACE 9 — PEPSI NORTH AMERICA CUP ELIMINATION | 3-YEAR-OLD OPEN | PURSE: $50,000

#8 BRANDON BLVD — 3-1 | Won the Grade 3 Somebeachsomewhere Stakes last week in dominant fashion; Dexter Dunn chose him over Odds On Mr Mamba tonight which is a strong signal.

#7 BEAU JANGLES — 4-5 | Fifteen for fifteen lifetime including the Metro Pace and Breeders Crown; three wins this year without being pressed but faces his stiffest test tonight.

 #4 ODDS ON MR MAMBA — 7-2 | Eight from nine lifetime and the fastest two-year-old in history at 1:47-4; James Macdonald replaces Dexter Dunn which is a strong late driver switch.

 LONGSHOT: #1 GENTLEMANS CLUB — 15-1 | Won the Governors Cup last November and has finished second in his last three starts; Andrew McCarthy/Aaron Lambert are a quietly effective combo.

RACE 10 — ROSES ARE RED ELIMINATION | FILLIES & MARES | PURSE: $35,000

#5 MIKI AND MINNIE — 7-5 | Thirteen wins from fifteen starts last year and a Breeders Crown co-winner right here at Mohawk; her only loss this season was to Louies Girl who got a perfect lead trip.

#6 ABSOLUTION — 15-1 | Won outright two starts back and has been consistently hitting the board; Trevor Henry and Jack Moiseyev have a 31% win rate together over the last 20 days.

 #4 TALK CURDY TO ME — 10-1 | Has three consecutive in-the-money finishes and Roy takes over tonight; drew the nightmare second-tier post in the Camluck which explains her last result.

 LONGSHOT: #2 THE LAST MARTINI — 3-1 | Dead-heat winner in the Breeders Crown here at 68-1 last year with McNair driving; gets back to Mohawk Park away from the smaller Oak Grove track she has been struggling on.

RACE 11 — 5YO & YOUNGER, NW 2 RACES OR $35,000 LIFETIME | PURSE: $20,000

#2 RYDER ROSS — 6-1 | Won easily two starts ago and was second last week to the top pick here after a very good trip; Douglas McNair/Gregg McNair is a 354-start combo at WEG.

#1 ILLICIT BEHAVIOR — 3-1 | Closed in 26-flat to win his OSS Grassroots last out; Bob McClure draws post one and Shawn Steacy is training him to peak form.

#5 DR DAVE — 9-2 | Just missed last out despite towing the parked leader home; Tyler Jones/Francis Dumouchel have quietly built a 25% recent win rate together.

 LONGSHOT: #4 DAD — 7-2 | Good freshman campaign and qualified well this week in 1:53-4 wire-to-wire; Mark MacDonald and Dr. Ian Moore are a dangerous combination and this horse races well fresh.

RACE 12 — NW $6,000 LAST 4 STARTS | PURSE: $16,000

#4 LIVINTHEBEACHLIFE — 9-2 | Four wins in ten starts this year and dominant last week making a swift 54-flat move to the lead; steps up one level but is clearly at peak fitness.

 #3 HUNGRY MAN — 5-1 | Wins specifically at this class level and loses when raised; draws a good post tonight and McNair is the hottest driver at WEG over the last ten days.

#9 PREMIER FIRST STAR — 8-1 | Won wire-to-wire last out in 1:52-flat in dominant fashion; Travis Cullen/Jodie Cullen is the most prolific combo at WEG and he steps up with confidence.

LONGSHOT: #8 SURE THING CAPTAIN — 15-1 | Fifteen wins last year at Northfield and qualified solidly here last week finishing second; Brett Macdonald/Ronald Macdonald have a 22% win rate and a $3.62 ROI together.

RACE 13 — 4YO & YOUNGER, NW $15,000 LIFETIME | PURSE: $19,000

#2 WINDSUN GUNNER — 3-1 | Two solid efforts at this exact class level before a stride break last out; Duane Marfisi now trains this colt and the barn is the hottest at WEG right now.

#8 DONTENVYME HANOVER — 10-1 | Won easily last week as the 1-5 favorite with McNair; Bob McClure is an upgrade in the bike and this David Menary trainee is still improving.

#9 COULD BE KING — 7-2 | Won two starts ago wire-to-wire and has been consistently competitive; Tyler Jones/Nick Gallucci have a 25% win rate and a $2.68 ROI together at WEG.

 LONGSHOT: #3 DYLANS VETT — 10-1 | Sprung a 36-1 upset in his four-year-old debut closing from the clouds in 27-flat; Louis-Philippe Roy is the second-leading driver at WEG and likely gives him a more aggressive trip tonight.
