United (horse)

United's first race was on May 27, 2018, at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, where he came in 5th.[1]

On July 4, 2018, he picked up his win first in a Maiden Special Weight race at Woodbine. This was his last win of the season and his last until April 6, 2019, when he won an Allowance Optional Claiming race.[1]

He competed in his first stakes race on May 25, 2019, when he came in 2nd place at the 2019 Charles Whittingham Stakes. This would be the start of four straight podium finishes at stakes races, as he finished 3rd at the 2019 John Henry Turf Championship Stakes, 2nd at the 2019 Breeders' Cup Turf and 2nd at the 2019 Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes.[1]

He finally captured his first stakes race on February 1, 2020, when he won the Grade-2 2020 San Marcos Stakes. He came into the race as the 4:5 favorite and won by a half-length over Cleopatra's Strike.[2]

United earned another stakes win on May 23, 2020, when he won the Grade 2 Charles Whittingham Stakes. He defeated Rockemperor by less than a nose in a photo-finish for the $200,500 cash prize.[3][4]

United grabbed this third Grade-2 stakes win in a row when he won the July 26, 2020, Eddie Read Stakes. In the final stretch, United was able to outrun Sharp Samurai and Neptune's Storm for the win.[5]

In 2021 United continued excellent form winning the Grade 3 San Luis Rey Stakes in March and repeating as a winner of the Eddie Read Stakes and John Henry Turf Championship Stakes.[1]
