Tim Twaddle saw steady improvement from Fourever Boy throughout the horse’s first two seasons of racing, and the trainer hopes that trend continues in 2023 as his 4-year-old stallion works toward facing the sport’s top older pacers later in the campaign. Fourever Boy, a multiple Grand Circuit winner and 2022 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes champion, has earned $842,888 in his career for owners Twaddle and Micki Rae Stables. The horse already has a big win this season, capturing the $193,880 Charles Juravinski Memorial Cup for 4-year-old male pacers May 21 at Flamboro Downs.
